dominique. they/them. 27. not too serious. i wanna be impossible

HIGHLY recommended putting a pillow in the backseat of your car because today i took a 45 minute long nap during my lunch break. when i returned i learned my boss had been running around all lunch looking for me to ask me a work question and i had inadvertently avoided All That by being unconscious in the parking lot #winning

[theriverbeyond]

now that it is SUMMER and some places get HOT AS BALLS my guide to being in your car during lunch and not passing away is the following:

if it truly is too hot, don't do it. or bite the bullet and turn your AC on during lunch

if you have shade to park in, do that. unfortunately my entire work parking lot is a wasteland of direct sun

crack your windows in the morning before you go in. hopefully you work in a place where this is safe, but this will help keep the car cooler during the day

get a GOOD REFLECTIVE SUNSHADE for the front of your car, this too will help keep the temp in the car cooler

get a good reflective sunshade for the REAR window and also whatever SIDE window gets the harshest sun exposure. once again this will help cut the temp inside the car

leave a door OPEN while you're inside during lunch. I don't leave mine open all the way I just wedge an empty disposable water bottle in the door or prop it open with my foot to keep it open during my lunch break. this is to make sure while you are actively inside the car the temp is as low as it can be and you have airflow and most importantly do not die

i actually don't usually fall asleep inside the car when it is super hot (safety and frankly also comfort reasons) but having a 100% private sensory deprivation space where i don't have to mask and can just lie down and chill is IMO invaluable to Surviving The Workplace

my problem is if i enjoy something enough i will be nitpicking. i Will have things to say about where and how it failed. out of nothing but love straight from my heart. unfortunately this often makes me indistinguishable from a hater who has never experienced joy or kindness. such is the amateur critic's burden.

[valtsv]

all of my favourite things are like beautiful racehorses that trip over their own feet a hundred times. but they get back up again. and goddamn, you should see them run.

i love the level of friendship that is "would you like early access to the porn that i'm writing"

[rosenkranz-isnt-dead]

is it just me or have people really stopped writing tags under art reblogs

[rosenkranz-isnt-dead]

"um but tags are public now" girl I'm talking about complimenting artists. I don't think the tags being public now is the reason everyone's silent, because I see fic writers ask for comments on ao3 all the time, and those have always been public, and yet hardly anyone leaves comments anymore. I think it's the consumption culture that got you silently scrolling, "consuming content" instead of engaging with art

this June we're getting hot and letting no one hit

I just love it when things are earnest like everyone get more earnest now

"Yes, praise be to the underdogs and those who worship in the church of slim chances. I haven’t fully let go of the childlike simplicity that pulls me away from the odds and whispers to my most cynical corners that anyone, anywhere can win."

i know most leftists agree that everybody should have a right to food, water, shelter, and healthcare but i think a vitally important fifth pillar is privacy. people should not be compelled to be tracked, monitored, or to share personal space with others to access their other essential rights

Wild that folks keep saying beekeepers abuse bees as if bees are not both venomous flying animals and fully unionized

[teaboot]

Hubris to think you COULD abuse bees

[teaboot]

I think that if you see a balrog in an unlocked kitty kennel then you can assume that it wants to be there

[vegance]

Actually, beekeepers take many precautions to keep their bees from leaving.

many clip the wings of the queen, destroy new queen cells, cull queens they don't like and use bee pheromones to prevent a hive from naturally swarming or absconding. They also try and prevent mating with the African honey bee, which makes them less docile among other things. During artificial insemination of queens, drones are crushed and „spare“ queens are killed.

and commercial beekeepers even cull their hives during winter, or when they are not producing well.

Coupled with the fact that there is evidence that insects do feel pain, this is not great.

(Not to mention that honeybees are an invasive species in most places, competing with native pollinators and spreading disease)

[tetrafelino]

It is so fucking bold of you to link the exact same paywalled book thirteen times in your reblog to throw people off the fact that you're using one source from 1859.

[champawattigress]

I don't think there's ever been a funnier vegan response in the history of this hell site. This is actual gold. If you cited an argument like this in a first year undergrad intro to bio module, then your lecturer would be legally entitled to fire you out of a cannon. I think I'm dying
