Maybe he’s ordering a decaf because he has a heart condition, and you’re about to give him a heart attack and send him to the hospital.

Or maybe he’s just ordering a decaf.

Maybe she’s ordering sugar free because she’s diabetic, and you’re about to put her six feet under.

Or maybe she’s just ordering sugar free,

Maybe they’re ordering non-dairy because they’re intolerant, and you’re about to ruin their day. Maybe they’re allergic, and you’re about to sponsor an all black event in an open field.

Or maybe they’re just ordering non-dairy.

Maybe they ordered gluten free because they can’t process it, and you’re about to destroy their digestive tract.

Or maybe they’re just ordering gluten free.

Maybe they’re ordering this way just because they don’t want the food, for whatever reason.

But are you willing to bet their life on it?

[desolator-thedragon]

Also, please remember that some people with sensitivities may get sick hours to days later. Just because they don’t have an immediate reaction doesn’t mean they are “exaggerating” or “lying”.

Whether illness or personal preference— just make their dang food the way they ask!!!

Who is this post for? Are food/coffeeshop employees regularly sneaking sugar and caffinated coffee out to their customers? Os this a thing thats happening?

[fairytalepsuedonym-deactivated2]

A while back there was a post on an anaonymous cofessions about about a person who said whenever she sees a thin woman ordering a diet soda she just gives em a regular bc they dont “need to be dieting.”

[beaniebaneenie]

Every coffee shop I have EVER worked in had at least one barista who would regularly change orders without the customer’s knowledge or permission, for reasons like

she doesn’t need to be dieting

Ugh, non dairy milk is so hard to steam, and drinking soy is a fad anyway

Life is short, eat the damn cheese bitch, it won’t kill you

I’d have to go open another bag of the gluten-free, and I don’t wanna walk all the way to the back room to go get it

At least once, I caught it maybe 3 seconds from disaster- someone with a life-threatening dairy allergy had ordered a soy latte. She told me at the register that it was a deadly allergy. I even wrote on the cup “ALLERGY- NO DAIRY”.

I caught the barista in question rolling her eyes and saying under her breath, “skinny bitches and their fake allergies, trying to get shit for free” (this particular coffee shop had a policy where a dairy allergy meant you didn’t pay the extra fee for non-dairy milk).

I saw the barista rinsing the dairy pitcher, put 2+2 together, and yelled out to the customer to stop her. She hadn’t started drinking yet, but she did lick the drips on the lid- she still needed her Epi-Pen and to go to the hospital.

Suffice to say that barista was fired on the spot… but there are many more people like that. Far too many.

Make the food/drinks people order, the way they fucking order them.

Even if she had just been trying to save the 50 cents…. so what?

Don’t bet people’s lives on your decisions.

Respect people’s basic bodily autonomy to decide what food they do or do not consume.

I’m lactose intolerant.  It’s bad enough that filler to pills being lactose will set me off.  I’ve been stuck at work until two hours after I’m finished work, unable to leave a washroom for more than ten minutes at a stretch.  It was a whole thing with a change to generic antiretrovirals for HIV that took months of arguing (and threatening to provide dramatic samples) before people listened. But I have a local coffee shop.  I’ve had the same job for 25 years and most of that time I’ve been going daily at least once a day, if not twice, for coffee.  Around the time I was having the problems with my pills one of the baristas started to randomly make jokes about my “cheese free” orders.  Cute, funny, nah nah I didn’t put it in but I should. I took a couple of days before I came back and said, you know what?  It’s not as funny as you think.  It spikes my stress and anxiety levels every time.  Because I’m spending money and I’ve gotten orders where cheese or regular milk products are used and I’ve had to trash them.  So I’m wasting money on something I can’t consume.  Straight up, can’t.   If you want I can pay you directly.  Just flat out, here’s ten bucks.  Not get a thing and move on.  I’d rather do that, if that’s what you want.  My lunch money, essentially.  But honestly?  I don’t think it’s cute. Or funny.  Or harmless.   I took a month off getting coffee there.  I don’t think any of them twigged to why.   Frankly I don’t care if it’s bad or if it’s fad.  If a person pays you and customizes their order within the range offered by the company, your opinion of those choices?  Don’t really matter.  Doing this isn’t cute or funny.  It just means you’re an asshole.

I have a heart condition and have asthma. Sometimes I have an asthma exacerbation but have to limit how much I use my rescue inhaler because my other condition already makes my heart beat too fast. If some ableist donut thinks that I’m not entitled to decide whether or not I consume caffeine to boot they can go perform an anatomically impossible sex act.

Type 1 diabetic here. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: invisible disabilities are still disabilities. Your opinions have no impact on my insulin pump, bro.

Stop listening to the voice.

Your writing doesn’t suck. Even if it’s not getting the attention you’d hoped, that doesn’t mean it’s bad.

Your readers compliments ARE genuine.

Your efforts are NOT in vain.

You are NOT wasting your time.

Any time spent on something that makes you feel good or face feelings you’d trying to reject, those are things worth doing, whether that effort is outwardly validated or not.

@knightedrogue I feel in my soul this is accurate.

The older i get the more i realise constructive criticism isn't even used correctly in most situations where people share their art. Or that most people aren't looking for their work to be critiqued unless they specifically ask for it since sharing stuff publicly is scary af.

Like yeah, it's tempting to want people to improve and be someone who can personally help them, but I find most people improve naturally as they produce more work passionately rather than having their flaws pointed out and essentially be told to do homework before they can do stuff they find passionate about again.

Unless you're paying for a service, or money is being exchanged in general and expectations aren't being met, or that the person specifically asks for help, I really don't see how telling people who does things for passion that they need to meet some standard to post shit.

[prettyboykatsuki-moved]

its so freeing when you realize you can literally write whatever you want 

[prettyboykatsuki-moved]

it doesnt have to be good or anything you can just write things and post them and it doesnt matter at all

Tonight I am thinking about this gif of Bail Organa:

Everyone else is watching the Clone Troopers with indifference.

But Bail?

He knows what they’ve done. And he knows they can never come back from it. And he knows this is wrong.

But he can’t say anything.

So he simply. Looks away, with sadness and disappointment in his face. And punches the stone.

My favorite thing about this is that the “traditional” woman isn’t always on the left. By switching it up the artist is really committing to the idea that the right way for a woman to be is however she wants.

[wazzuppp10]

Just wish some of the women were plus size..

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

I really love how much Lainey’s art and positivity is bringing people joy and I really hope you’re checking out her insta, it’s full of so many more

Thinking about the Leverage crew in the Good Place afterlife.

Accountants would cry trying to tally their points. They've encountered people who did bad things for good reasons before, but the scale the Leverage team operated on is new. The personal improvement of all the Leverage crew over the course of their life is huge, but the number of people they've hurt (the system doesn't allow for "but they deserved it"; and it's really hard to measure "they would have hurt more people if we hadn't stopped them", although the accountants still have to try to factor it in).

Glenn and some friends would lobby for Nate to be made an honorary demon because they want his help designing tests. Also, he's really hard to test because he keeps figuring it out.

Vicky would keep sending Sophie through the same test--meeting a promising new thief--and insist the goal was for Sophie not to train the thief but instead discourage them from pursuing a life of crime, but really Vicky is just taking notes on all of Sophie's acting tips.

Shawn puts bad people in a situation to do bad things and Eliot close enough to see. Either the bad people won't do bad things and thus improve, Eliot will find a way to stop them without beating them up and thus improve, or Eliot will beat them up. Shawn calls it "economical and enjoyable!"

They create a neighborhood where Hardison has opportunities to fix a corrupt government or business, but he keeps using his normal methods, and "refusing to work with corrupt and unethical people on their terms" and "stops bad people from hurting innocents" count as positive points even as his methods rack up the negative points. He also hacks the Bad Place. Changing your own score is negative points. Changing other people's scores to spare them suffering is positive.

Parker's case keeps getting handed to different architects. The architects keep succumbing to the temptation to try and build a security system she can't beat rather than teach her not to steal.

At some point, Nate has figured out he's in a simulation and refused to cooperate unless he speaks to whoever is in charge ("You need my help to keep this from happening again"), Sophie has earned Vicky's trust and convinced Vicky to show off her other work, Eliot has learned to tell the demons and real people and simulations apart and followed a demon to the exit, Hardison has hacked his way out, and Parker found an air vent that leads out of the testing room, and the five meet up again, ready to break out of the Bad Place.

Shawn develops empathy for Chidi's stomach aches.

not to be native on main but like, it’s everyone’s responsibility to steward the land they’re on. like you’re required. if you’re in america the people who own the land aren’t around to steward it so pick up the slack. learn how people cultivated and cared for the land you’re on. if you’re an animist there’s really no excuse. man, i get disabilities and stuff (i’m disabled myself) but you gotta do something. get some native grasses and toss em into your yard. mow your grass a little higher. leave a little strip that’s completely untouched so native wildlife can take residence there. cultivate a relationship with the land you’re on, not only for magical reasons (and you WILL get magical benefits) but also because the earth is deserving of love and respect in itself. 

[thats-howthelightgets-in]

@everyone in the comments like “I can’t wait till I have a house to steward the land on!” You know no one says it has to be your land, right? I steward a local creek- I keep it clean, I feed the spirits, I pick up glass and destroy invasive species as best I can, I do my duty to the genus locorum that tend the land spiritually.

So, because I like learning opportunities, here’s how to steward land.

Pick a spot. An abandoned lot, a road ditch, a cemetery, a creek, a path though the woods, a piece of timber bordering a park, whatever.

If it isn’t your land and you really don’t like doing illegal shit (smh), get permission to tend it.

If you’re magically inclined, get to know the spirits there, set up altar space with items that won’t be litter if they get loose, or that won’t make animals sick if they get into them. Only do this if appropriate. I have an altar beside the creek on a few big, flat stones, but this might be less appropriate in an often visited cemetery.

Start with what’s there. If it’s all grass, mow it higher. Pick up the trash. Prune the trees and large plants, learn to identify the plants that are there and if they’re native or not.

Next step up, destroy invasive species (if you’re certain they’re invasive.) Emerald ash borers are easy to identify. Kudzu is a little less so. Water what needs watering, weed what needs weeding.

Start planting, if you can. Learn from the native people on your land if you have access to them- otherwise, check an extension office or university. Plant native species in varieties that will coexist. Start removing grass, if appropriate. Probably shouldn’t remove grass in a cemetery, but if the ditch you’re tending is just regular bluegrass, smother that shit out and start planting better things.

Make certain the area is habitable for native species of animals and insects. I cannot STRESS ENOUGH how important it is to make sure your area is accessible and habitable for native species, especially native pollinators. I live in the prairie area, and if I see one more “native species haven” with no flowers or only red ones, I’m going to flip my shit.

Finally, LISTEN TO NATIVES. If it’s your land, consider participating in a land-back program. If you ask for advice, listen to it. Check the websites that most tribes have for this purpose. And BE RESPECTFUL.

This is all I have for yall, go fuckin wild.

This isnt a joke my favorite piece of writing advice that I’ve ever seen is someone that said if you were stuck with a fic and couldn’t figure out why or what was wrong, your problem is actually usually about ten sentences back. Maybe there was something wonky about the tone or the dialogue or you added something that didn’t fit but it’s usually ten sentences back. And every single time I get stuck in a fic I count back ten sentences and it’s always fucking there

If you write yourself into a corner, back out of the corner.
