Why are we here?

Unhinged gay hopping around fandoms like leaves on the wind. Heard this was where the queers were at. (she/her) If you're a cop looking for my age just figure out the last two digits of the year. Will block anyone with an empty/untitled blog as bots, and any transphobes souring the vibes

Just remembered I had this screenshot on my phone somewhere and had to post it here because it really speaks to me

Annual deer post:

If you see a fawn laying down on the ground all alone, leave it alone. It is not lost, it does not need your help, do not pick it up, do not move it.

This behavior evolved to keep deer young safe. The baby is very small, very quiet, and hard for most predators to see. A young fawn cannot keep up with a fleeing mother deer, which is their primary problem-solving strategy. So while the mother goes elsewhere to graze, the fawn stays safe and hidden. The mom will be back.

Leave the fawn alone.

This is always good to pass around this time of year, but I would like to add something for the few of us who might be encountering the moose kind of deer.

Moose are deer, but moose have the opposite strategy. They stay close to their babies, and their primary response for anything getting close to their babies is immediate violent murder. If you do see a baby moose by itself, leave. Leave the baby alone and leave the area, preferably quickly. Momma is at most 30 yards away and has already kicked on the kill bill sirens.

I'd like to issue a formal apology to Palamedes Sextus, I was unaware of his swag. I always loved him dearly but it took me 3 rereads of GtN to realize this nerd has catastrophic levels of aura. Difficult to notice when Camilla Hect is next to him at all times

hey not to advertise these twats (so don't look them up) but some absolute fucks in paris allegedly created a service where you can "rent air conditioning" (taking advantage of a climate apocalypse) and they make you pay 700€ a month for AC that costs 200€ for life.

image descriptions and translations:

[journal article from Le Parisien that reads: "renting instead of buying AC, the good deal proposed by [Don't-Look-Them-Up] mid-heatwave.

Since the start of the summer, acquiring an AC has been challenging. To answer to buyers who are faced with empty storefronts, [Don't-Look-Them-Up] has found a trick: the punctual rental of cooling units."]

ahem. and the review

[One-Star Review: Crooks that profit off of people's distress. He made me an offer for a 9000 BTu AC unit (valued at 280€) for 750€ per month. To avoid.]

[schakira]

they admitted in a video that they bought all the AC units DURING A BIG HEATWAVE all over Paris to empty all stocks, so that people would rely on them to get AC.

there were 3000 deaths due to the heatwave.

I had a dream about Columbo at a drag show. This is what came from it.

[somewhere-south-of-neutral]

I'm waiting for him to explain to me how his newfound love of drag allowed him to prove I killed my business partner

well if the ai generated banana seal from the tumblr ad says i have to eat 40 pounds of carbs a day then i guess i have no choice

[tainbocuailnge]

forget everything anyone has ever told you on the matter the truest marker of adulthood is starting to hear the siren call of high quality kitchenware

[tainbocuailnge]

to be clear you SHOULD buy that cast iron pan and you SHOULD buy that knife set and you SHOULD buy that fancy rice cooker and you SHOULD buy that novelty mug. high quality kitchenware is always worth it you’re literally gonna be using that almost every day

[augustdementhe]

I just need a good pot, a good wok, TWO paring knives, TWO steak knives, and one Santoku style choppitychoppity.

That’s IT.

I ask for SO LITTLE.

[rionsanura]

Very helpfully, there is someone keeping track of which high-quality kitchenware has been enshittified and which hasn’t.

Oh HELL yes.

Nothing fills me with rage like when an older person asks me about when I want to have kids and when I tell them I never want kids since I just don’t like children they say “Oh that’ll change when it’s your kid”

[shdwstorm]

I feel like this applies to.

a Lot of things

[light-y-228]

I mean yeah, this, but also… what if it doesn’t?

What if you hate your own child just as much as you hate all children?

You can’t take back creating a child.

The Kids just aren't being taught how to write a cv or cover letter huh

I've seen ones today including photos, dates of birth, place of birth even!

And also several formatted like they were writing a message to a friend! Full of exclamation marks! This is a formal document!

So as someone who's been applying to jobs internationally recently, this post kind of highlights how myopic rules about resume writing can be. In the US you shouldn't write out your address, a Swedish resume would NEVER get callback without an address, what are you trying to hide?*. A DOB isn't something you should put on a resume in Sweden, but I've seen American advice go as far as omitting years of education in order to actively conceal your age. Some Asian countries require a headshot, in Sweden it's not unheard of but also not common, and it's absolutely verboten in the US.

Furthermore, resumes are fucking hard as shit to write successfully (=making not just a human read it, but ensuring that they're interested). I ended up paying a company to edit mine, and once I used it, I started getting callback despite the versions I had used before being 95%+ similar, it really was the little details, the exact terminology and choice and placement of adjectives, that made the entire difference, and those can differ enormously between job markets in the same country.

"but onaa, you're beansouping, OP is in the US and presumably all the youths they interact with are too. "

Even if they are, advice is all over the internet from every possible country, and it's no more or less helpful than something provided by a very decent English teacher who, just by virtue of being 10+ years older and working in a different sector, have encountered a very different job market than the kids they teach.

Conclusion: the kids aren't stupid, nor are we bad at teaching resumes, reality is just really fragmented and impossible.

*addresses are basically public anyway, Americans would piss themselves with the info that's public in Sweden. Including everyone's salary.
