Trump’s staff hides negative news from him to keep him happy. Musk was so affected by getting booed at Dave Chappelle's performance he had a mental breakdown. Their egos are horribly weak. This is how we defeat them—unyielding insults and mockery.

This is what we trained for. This is our moment. We need to get a lot louder and way more petty.

I believe in you.

ok not to be that guy but like. labor rights and working class rights can coexist with 24h services and late amenities. its certainly hard to do so without worker exploitation in this political and social environment, it’s not a conflict likely to resolve overnight. but 24h services are important and especially valuable to those of us that are disabled or are on a different circadian rhythm. in fact more professional, health, and government services should be available or at least possible to work on asynchronously (if applicable) during late or odd hours, while workers also get sufficient pay for their labor and proper consistent scheduling. this would be much easier on the workers with night schedules if the entire professional world didn’t grind to a halt at 5pmEST

I reblog this like nine times every time I see it, because not only would I love to be able to go to a thousand little third places like a public library or an arcade or a cafe that's just opening up at 2:00 a.m., but I would absolutely kill for a job that's like 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.

I totally think that we should split the day into four shifts with a half hour or an hour overlap and you would find people happy to do the work if it paid a living wage. 7-hour shift with a paid one hour lunch, so you're at work 35 hours a week but it's really a 30 hour work week.

Midnight to 7:00 a.m.,

6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.,

noon to 7:00 p.m.,

6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.

Even for something with a lot of regimented coverage like nursing, this would give you a ton of consistency and crossover time between shifts and even for emergency situations when you don't have time to sit down for your whole lunch, a 7-hour shift with a few breaks is doable without feeling fucking broken at the end of it.

Like this is just a noodle that a tired person is typing into their phone at the end of the day. There are no doubt even better ways to schedule things that just take a little time and consideration to figure out. It is all so very doable.

Adding to this, the most common long-shift workers are medical workers. It is very common for nurses, doctors, surgeons, and pharmacists to be pulling 12h+ shifts, often back-to-back. I feel like it should be universally understood that being this tired and burned out in a medical profession is a serious concern and a risk to patients. The last thing we need in 24h services like hospitals and urgent care/emergency rooms is tired people making mistakes. @knitmeapony's proposal or something like it could literally save lives.

[knitmeapony]

Absolutely yes! It also leads to both ageism and ableism in the medical profession, even when folks haven't completely burned themselves out. It's a self-sustaining problem.

normalize unironically listening to the living tombstone

we're having serious conversations about gay men and how men are afraid to show platonic affection in the US in chance it is seen as gay and all I'm thinking about is "IT'S JUST A MOIST TOWELETTE!!"

[delilahkatherine]

am i the only one who doesn't really want cars in the sims 4? like i feel like it wouldn't work. it feels like if they added them at this point it'd only be as a money grab (like most things they add), especially knowing that they would probably work exactly like bikes do in the game. like i feel like cars would be something that they could honestly release in a kit but would instead make it a game pack somehow. i don't really see at this point how it could add to gameplay

[delilahkatherine]

every time i have therapy my therapist fully calls me out and it's getting real annoying at this point

this week she fully laid out my exact thought process of what i want to do in my future without me even needing to say anything

thank you ****

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

you can start anytime.

you can brush your teeth in the middle of the day. you can wash the dishes at 2am. you can do things outside the normal times assigned by society.

[let-me-iiiiiiiin]

You can lay on top of the blankets. You can lay under the bed sheets directly on the mattress. You can sit in the shower. You can put your hair up and wash your body, or you can sit on a chair beside and just wash your hair. And for that matter— you can bring a chair into the bathroom. You can go in to wash yourself waist down only and get out right after. You can go to bed in a coat. You can lie on the floor. You can just sweep the floor— no need to mop if you cannot.

You can do things in so many different ways with so many different adjustments; it's worth it to approach any mundane task with an eye of "how do I make this easier on myself? How do I make it bearable?"

Life is already hard. Don't make it harder on yourself with arbitrary, unnecessary rules. Ask yourself— "Can't I just..?" You might be surprised by how much you don't mind the things that usually bring lots of exasperation and mental fatigue if only you decide to give yourself a helping hand

[glassbirdfeather]

i clean the bathroom in stages. one day ill do the sink. the other, the toilet. ill spray down the shower in the morning and then scrub it in the evening and wash myself right after. you do not have to do it all at once.

but please do not lay directly on the mattress. there may be fiberglass in it.

i've never actually watched a full episode of house md, but based on what i have seen in clips, i fully believe this happened

[themaninyourcomputer]

I love you, George Takei.

It’s uncanny how similar Trump is acting like Hitler. People are now doing the Nazi salute. They’re drawing the symbol. The KKK was seen in Kentucky asking people to join them. ICE has been ripping families apart. Companies have pulled back Diversity Initiatives. We’re no longer part of WHO and there won’t be any communication from the CDC at least until February 1st. We’re being censored and the news can’t be trusted. Thousands of Americans didn’t know there were protests against Trump yesterday outside the U.S. Quotes from The Handmaid’s Tale and Anne Frank have been compared to what’s going on right now.

According to The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Studies and Prevention the U.S. has officially been given a red flag alert for Genocide.

I’m exhausted but I will never stop being angry.
