words of affirmation for those seeking a werewolf girlfriend

Actually, my therapist has told me this is a healthy way of processing things. Because you can get the trauma out of your head And you can write the ending you wish it had. The trusted person rescue, the catharsis of getting to kill the one who hurt you.

It's good for your brain. It's healthier than bottling it up. Fiction is where we go for emotional release. That can be true with trauma too.

so what you're saying is

character: NO

therapist: YES

Adding @dear-massacre's tags because they are so true:

#this is why it's important to remember that fictional characters are fake #they have no agency. they're made up #it hurts no one to make any character go through the horrors #it is healthy and cathartic

I thought you meant actual canvases, for physical painting, because yeah? I have done both. I have re-used physical canvases because they are expensive, and a pain to stretch, and take up space, and its not like I'm selling them or anything ...

... holy shit. What.

I am not joking we need to take a page out of the Luddites book.

depsidase

thing is, the luddites are so misunderstood and we learn a very simple revisionist version of their story. people are called luddites for simply going against technological progress but that's not what the luddites were actually about.

(i know i have some historians as followers who will probably want to chime in on this and please do as i am not a historian.)

the luddites weren't exactly against technology. they would have happily used the new machines being developed at the time if they could've owned them. who wouldn't want their lives to be made easier? but they couldn't own the machines. the machines were big and expensive and took a lot of energy to run. this meant that only wealthy industrialists who owned factories and mills could afford to own and run them.

the luddites realized they were losing their craft and their way of life to wealthy industrialists who were only willing to pay them a tiny fraction of what they were making before. not to mention that going to work for an industrialist meant being told what to make, when to make it, when to make it by, how much to make, etc. and all for a massive pay cut. it was a loss of income and freedom. (the machines produced a lower quality product too btw which was also a concern by craftspeople who actually gave a shit about what they were producing.)

the industrialist took the vast majority of the profits from skills and knowledge they never learned out from underneath the people who actually had the skills and knowledge—all because they could afford the machines and factories. sound familiar?

so the luddites took it upon themselves to protect their way of life from wealthy industrialists. this led to organizing and direct action like sabotage and stuff. unfortunately, the luddites lost their battle and their name went down in history as a pejorative against people who are afraid of technology.

it's a very interesting story and if you want to know more about it i suggest listening to margaret killjoy's podcast “cool people who did cool stuff.” she has a two-part series (i think it's in two parts if iirc?) on the luddites that is fascinating. can't recommend it enough.

Picture this. Peter knows that pumpkin bombs are either

Flying knives

Grenades

Vaporizing grenades

And they're all identical.

He still swung that back around and decided whatever happened was between Harry and God

Legit “fuck me? no, fuck YOU” energy.

Peter had already won that fight. He could have finished it, but leaving it at that was an act of mercy (which was apparently unappreciated)

Harry was essentially stabbing him in the back, you don’t attack someone who’s walking away. That’s fighting dirty and escalates violence in a way that can’t be brought back down

Because Peter was using Harry’s own (unidentified) projectile, he could literally return the insult without escalating the scenario any further. This is like someone bringing a gun to a knife fight and then getting shot with their own weapon

Ergo, Harry deserved that pumpkin bomb no matter what was in it

Lawmakers approve a tough new bill, but rights groups say it threatens basic freedoms.

robotpussy

I know people won't care because you all assume every country that isn't in the west is automatically homophobic and/or transphobic, but enshrining this bigotry into law, enabling more institutional and state violence is making my heart weep.

for those who do care, Silent Majority is actively fighting against this bill and I do hope people can support them.

I know a company that does both these things and no surprise, when you shop there, the employees are always miserable and agitated.You should kill your managers in such situations imo. The only reason I receive treatment slightly above this is i'm lucky enough to have managers who are also bothered by these business practices. The water one is especially bad if you have heat intolerance, I was so sick regularly before I switched to a department with more leniency regarding water.

Depending on where you live these things may violate labor laws though so if you're in the same situation look into it. However in my experience any labor law violations happen without consequence regardless

"a department with more leniency regarding water" is an insane string of words

If you live in the US, the water thing absolutely violates labor laws.

OSHA requires employers to provide potable water to employees in the workplace. This water must be accessible to all employees and can be used for drinking, washing, and other personal needs.

Water quantity: The amount of water provided must be enough to meet the needs of all employees, taking into account the air temperature, humidity, and the type of work being done.

Water access: The water must be readily accessible to employees.

The lack of chairs is an OSHA violation too.

The approved code of practice on the regulations requires employers to provide suitable seats for workers who have to stand to carry out their work, if the type of work gives them an opportunity to sit from time to time and provide suitable seats for workers to use during breaks.

Yes, violations often happen without consequences. But remember, not keeping the poster with all your rights as a worker visible? Is a violation too.

Document it. Photos, screenshots, save your emails, record conversations if you're in a one-party consent state. Then?

Report their asses.

If nothing happens, report them again. And again and again, until someone pays attention.

Here's the link with info and how to file a complaint:

You can report labor law violations to OSHA online, in person or by mail, phone or fax. Employees can also file a report if retaliation occu

You can also call them: 1-800-321-OSHA

Keep in mind: complaints signed and submitted to local OSHA offices are more likely to result in OSHA inspections. Therefore, sending your complaints to OSHA's national headquarters may not be the fastest or most efficient method.

If you file online, it's automatically routed to the appropriate local office.

Even if there is not a specific guideline for the thing you want to report, all employers must adhere to the "general duty" clause... and you'd be surprised about all the things that fall under that.

For example, refusal to provide chairs anywhere in the building (in addition to being illegal and discriminatory anyway) also comes under the "fall protection" hazard. The CDC recommends that standing any longer than 15-30 minutes per hour can become a serious health hazard.

Yes- companies will always try to get away with breaking the law and fucking you over. That's how they've made their money.

But having a defeatist attitude and believing there is nothing you can do, and they'll never experience a consequence, so why bother reporting, is exactly how a lot of them keep getting away with it.

There are more of us workers than there are bosses. Solidarity- stand together, know your rights, and fight for them like hell. That is how we affect change.
