Unable to help unfortunately. But boosting this just in case.

faebirdie

just to be clear, the fact that music was nominated for a golden globe is absolutely disgusting. every single (adult) involved in that gross, ableist movie should be sickened by themselves.

for those of you who don't know, music (2021) is a movie being directed by sia about a nonverable autistic girl. not only does it not include any actually autistic people in the movie itself but it also only took advice from autism speaks which is looked at as a hate group by the majority of the autistic community. leaked scenes have also shown the movie glorifying prone restraints which are incredibly dangerous and have resulted in major injuries and even death to disabled people as recently as last year.

autistic people just like me have been incredibly outspoken about how harmful this movie is but the allistic have been mostly silent. we are already seeing reviews calling this movie 'inspiring' and important' and it's absolutely horrific! we need your help calling this out. please stand with us and call out this disgusting display of disrespect to autistic folks.

p.s. please, please reblog if you aren't autistic.

Well that’s fucked up.

This came up in the group chat again today and–

You know what the really obvious answer is to the problem of police procedurals? In the sense that people clearly enjoy the tropes, the varyingly high stakes, the feel of a competent highly-trained organized team doing good together, the variety of storylines you can get, the operational style, etc, but are sick of copaganda?

SAR procedurals.

Why do we have seventeen thousand police procedurals when we could have this instead???

Search and rescue procedurals would solve all the problems actually.

Like, you get that well-oiled machine thing. You get the radio protocols. You get the sense of organization, of rank, of a command structure, but without them being cops. Hell–in an SAR group you can even have the much-maligned plotline of “someone goes off the book on a hunch and ends up being right” and still have consequences attached to that but not, like, an intrinsic argument for routine violation of human rights.

You get the case-of-the-week and the variety; I feel like this is why firefighter shows don’t get nearly as popular, because there’s only so much variety you can get out of “there is a fire” compared to all the things that can go wrong in a police procedural (or an SAR show, especially if you were clever about where you set the story.)

You get the recurring diverse cast and their interpersonal relationship developments, and pretty much every cop show archetype slots gorgeously into an SAR group as well.

You get the wide variety of possible stakes; SAR teams sometimes have intense heart-pounding time-sensitive missions, sometimes they have lost hikers who are almost certainly fine, sometimes there’s suspicion of foul play…Christmas episode about returning a lost kid to his family against all odds, anyone? Sometimes there’s a search that’s been going for weeks and someone has to call it and be the bad guy…you could get GREAT drama over two team organizers butting heads about how no, dammit, we’re not calling in the cadaver dogs yet, we’re not giving up like that–

(Oh yeah also you can have some great canine recurring characters.)

Instead of “internal affairs is the bad guy because cops being held accountable for their actions is evil” you can get, like….tension between the rookies and the human remains detection teams, because if you’re new to the SAR culture you may not understand or appreciate the work that HRD dogs and their handlers do, see above re: the sense of giving up. You get the opportunity to engage with real-world issues and social justice but like, without them being cops. The world is your fucking oyster.

OR, YOU KNOW, WE CAN MAKE ELEVEN MORE SHOWS ABOUT COPS, I GUESS–

gallusrostromegalus

Reasons I want this:

1. I love procedural tropes but Fuck The Police 2. The only thing I love more than Procedural Tropes is Mysterious deaths and disappearences 3. If even a tenth of the Absolutely WILD shit I’ve heard from Park Rangers and SAR people gets into the show it will be the wildest thing on television.

The thing about SAR is that it’s not really a day job, it’s mostly volunteers from relevant careers who have flexible schedules… and then some of the absolute weirdest most eccentric locals you have ever met in your life. Like maybe your cast includes some paramedics, some radio operators, some cops, some firemen, some climbing instructors—and Old Salamander Jimmy who talks like a pirate and wears an eye patch he doesn’t need but knows the area like the back of his hand because he’s 107 years old and has lived in the woods since his mother birthed him on the mountain side and spends every waking moment searching for new species of amphibians to lick and get high on, and all he wears are hot pants and Hawaiian shirts.

This is fucking great, what the fuck? Why doesn't this exist?

This says a lot, actually. Because if "eradicating white supremacy" means the same thing as "eradicating American Christianity", then what does that say about your Christianity?

Response for when the far-right pick a fight by spewing ignorant divisive bollocks, then claim that they're being 'bullied', or 'cancelled', or 'oppressed' or 'silenced' when other people argue back or criticise them for said bollocks.

Also leaving this here.

I think my brain accidentally ascended for a second.

Why...do we...need money??? What are laws?? Why cant we just live and..travel..

I know it sounds incredibly shallow when I say write it down but I truly dont have the ability to articulate how confused my brain is right now by our willingness to tie ourselves to electric numbers that are "money" and why we cant just pick up and move somewhere else and exist there and- hmmmmmm.

Apples are real. Dirt is real. Wallstreet is a building filled with desperate men screaming at imaginary numbers that turn them into kings and paupers. And police have this power that only exists because we gave it to them and- HMMMMMM

But the other frustrating thing is everyone is trapped in this system. If I want hormones or a few crumbs of rights I have to play along into the system. But is that really being free either???

BUT we cant just go wandering around all hippie "wunderlust" because this is all stolen land. BY THE SYSTEM. And if we dont acknowledge that and make reparations and start healing that shit then-HMMMMMMMMMMMM

This post is getting popular again but most aren't reblogging it with the commentary about stolen land so if you white folks would I'd appreciate it.

transcribed-described

[ID: a tiktok by @/christiantheshowm, with a caption that reads “Millennials/Gen Z’s as Therapists:” and is a conversation between a therapist and his patient. The therapist is a black man with a beard, wearing a suit and round glasses. the patient is a black man lying down on a couch with one hand resting on his head. he is also wearing a white hoodie. the hoodie is up and the drawstrings are pulled tightly so that only his eyes, nose, and mouth are shown.]

Transcript:

Therapist: So how have things been?

Patient: Maybe I was just put on this earth just to die.

Therapist: Ok.

Patient: Like I’m not meant to find love or be happy.

Therapist: I got you.

Patient: Like I’m just supposed to die.

(the patient turns to the therapist who nods. the camera zooms in.)

Therapist (putting a pen up by his mouth): It do be like that sometimes.

Patient: It do be like that sometimes.

(the camera zooms in more)

Therapist: But not all the time.

That actually made me feel better.

feedyourlocalgoth

Why did this like bring a tear to me eyes

my birthday is on the solstice, so i made a wishlist!

(it’s literally just cash bc i don’t like owning stuff)

$5 = contribution to my savings emergency fund

OR $5 for my favorite falafel burrito i usually don’t buy bc they’re fancy. your choice!

$7 = 1 day of groceries

$10-15 = i treat myself to a meal at a restaurant

$20 = 1 day of rent

$35 = prescription copay (i don’t have to pay for my meds yet but i will in 2021)

$50 = a week of groceries

$100= a week of rent (almost)

$2 ko-fi monthly subscription (this helps me build stable monthly income as a safety net)

$11 for this cute retro they/them pronoun pin i found on etsy

anyway here’s my paypal and my ko-fi (for credit cards). half of these are food bc that’s the only thing i spend money on outside of rent. if u would rather give money in my name to a charity, please donate to My Sistah’s House

it’s my first time using paypal.me/gaudiest (which I like bc the fees r lower). I was worried people wouldn’t have the option to send messages, bc messages are the 2nd best part of recieving money (and sometimes the very best, and sometimes the most cursed possible experience)

the point is, I love recieving messages so I was worried, needlesly as it turned out. behold, my first paypal message:

I wish I had 11$ so badly!! Both for the pin, and to help support my favorite Tumblr poster!!

oh, the orange fascist got covid!!! oh it’s like our birthdays all came early!!! oh i hope he dies!!! 🎉 🎉 🎉

CORRECTION

When I reblogged this post, I claimed that the EEOC was who you should contact if your employer retaliates against you for trying to form a union. I failed to do proper research, and users @weatherall and @alienor-woods were kind enough to point out my mistake.

The EEOC is for workplace discrimination.

Who you should contact for union related issues is the National Labor Relations Board. (https://www.nlrb.gov/rights-we-protect/rights/employee-rights)

Your nearest NLRB office: https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/who-we-are/regional-offices

Thank you Weatherall and Alienor for bringing that to my attention, hopefully your correction gets more traction than my misinfo.

(PS my original comment is below for comparison and to keep the EEOC links available.)

As a matter of fact, if your employer fires you for anything relating to forming a union, that's retalition, and it's illegal under federal law. If this happens to you, vontact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

So if you look in the lower right-hand corner of that last panel with the unicorn, you’ll see that it looks like something was erased or pasted over. Know why? Because this isn’t the original version of the cartoon.

This is:

Yeah, that’s right. This entire strip is a comment on antisemtism and y’all changed it to be more “fun” and deleted the artist’s signature in the process. So anyway, this isn’t just some helpful infographic or a silly meme, it’s a commentary on how Jews have been getting blamed for world’s ills for 2,000 years, and whoever erased that panel can fuck right off for eternity.

GOD some fucking... gigantic FedEx-looking muscled meatheads just marched up to the door of the nature center, where I am working alone, talking about how if anyone tried to make them wear a mask inside they could suck their dicks and how no one could stop them if they wanted to go in.

I jumped up and blocked the doorway, putting on my most friendly-but-authoritative voice and holding the spare masks in front of me like a weapon, and said “IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME INSIDE YOU MUST WEAR A MASK BUT YOU ARE FREE TO ENJOY OUR OUTDOOR OFFERINGS WITHOUT ONE.”

And they fucking turned around and left without a word of protest. One of them thanked me awkwardly. I’m slightly jittery from the rush of unused adrenaline but I can’t believe that despite all their posturing and aggression, they were defeated by customer service voice.

hawaiian-monk-selkie

It’s the combination of cheerful voice and dead eyes that usually scares off the big burly types 😂

My eyes were anything but dead... I think I had Barbie-like animation. They’re probably just not used to being aggressively-but-politely told “no” and didn’t realize I’d overheard their macho posturing.

notbomb

Can confirm full-on Barbie Customer Service Face and Voice can murder a god if you have enough Hidden Spite and Hatred behind it.

I have scared grown men with my sugary-sweetest voice and smile--usually by threatening them with very graphic violence but even "I'm sorry, but that's against company policy and I'm afraid I can't do that," can sound like "I will crack open your ribcage like a walnut and feast on your still-beating heart, motherfucker" if you feel it in your soul. It's the Charlize Theron murder-walk tutorial but for customer service.

It’s less retail customer service than it is like... Flight Attendant? It’s not Teacher Voice because it carries an implicit threat of murder. Flight attendants pretend to be there for your comfort and convenience but are actually there to cut your throat if you fuck around, while smiling brightly. God... flight attendants are scary. I want to take lessons.

#this will not work on women though #either you get your manager or you kick them out

You’re right... women take one look at me trying to assert Aggressively Cheerful Dominance and go “I am better at this than you” and push past me and then it’s like. Well. I guess I’ll just cry about this when I get home and schedule another nasal swab.

The ONLY thing I’ve found so far that discourages anti-masker moms is chemical warfare. If they smell traces of Lysol or some inorganic cleaning product they will make a hasty and resentful retreat before their toddler contracts autism from my deodorant.

lyrslair

Can of Lysol in a holster carried on your person?

Sign on the door saying “unattended Karens will be vaccinated”?

...god I never thought I’d see the day I actually wanted to weaponize that bullshit. *drags hands down face*

I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.

I aim with my eye.

I do not spray with my hand; he who sprays with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.

I spray with my mind.

I do not clean with my Lysol; he who cleans with his Lysol has forgotten the face of his father.

I clean with my heart.
