Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

Not my posts but an interesting thought.

[image description: screengrab of a series of tweets from @ rootsworks: “When I was in college, part of our university’s graduation requirements had a community service component that they called service learning.

One of my service learning classes involved work at a local homeless community center, helping people write resumes and cleaning bathrooms.

Our instructor told us to expect to see the bathrooms trashed a lot–like you will clean the bathroom and immediately someone will wreck it.

And it’s not because they disrespect your work or don’t value having access to clean bathrooms or whatever, but because of control.

When you feel like you have no control over your life or your environment, your brain is going to want to assert control however it can.

Which results in trashed bathrooms.  It’s control exercised over the one small part of your environment that you still have the power to affect.

I see kids on tumblr using the language of social justice as cudgels on people who actually do care about and listen to them

or holding the creators within their communities to an impossibly high standard that they never apply to mainstream media properties.

I just see trashed bathrooms. ‘These are the people my voice will reach,’ they rationalize, ‘so these are the people I’ll hurt.’

But the guiding principles of social justice are aimed at correcting and dismantling systems.  Stop using them to dismantle people.”]

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

I can't remember where I read it last week, but the person discussed how when we think of chattel slavery in the US, we tend to think of massive plantations of cotton or tobacco, with one very rich white master or mistress with lots of land and lots of enslaved people. But we very rarely think of the many families that had just one or two slaves, in smaller homes.

Because it's not like you had to pay them, so once your family owned someone, they owned them and their descendants indefinitely. Could you pay and eventually free em- sure! You could also send them anywhere you want for any labor you want, could have an enslaved woman bred for more children, or maybe save up and buy new slaves and sell the old. Like cattle (thus, chattel slavery).

So it's interesting that many people go "oh well it's not like my family owned slaves!" Because like, one, how do you know that? Have you ever actually asked your grandmas about their grandmas? How many of your family members grew up with mammies? Have you ever asked? I wonder how many people have actually done the digging for the truth (or was it easier to just benefit). Because I've talked to my grandma, who picked cotton in the sea islands. She had to have been doing that for someone in the 1930s and 40s!

And two, it's easy to think that because your family (or someone else's) didn't own sprawling stolen land and generational blood money like a plantation owner, that it wasn't as important. But... It was. That was still someone's entire life. That was a person, whose labor benefitted and saved a family money that could be used in other ventures. How often do we think of them?

Still rocking an NFT icon in this day and age is like seeing a confederate flag on the back of someone’s truck. You lost 100 years ago, fucker, it’s over.
