maybe the stars align, just one time

and you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars, and why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words

idle town: i hate it here masterlist-

part one summary: tentative summary: In a world where magic is as real and mundane as taxes and laundry, Cassandra, her werewolf husband Peter, and their witch partner James have finally figured things out. They've bought a house, they've finished renovations on a charming little cafe in the heart of idyllic Evermorre, and they're even talking about looking into adoption. One freak incident throws a wrench into things, however; Cass's estranged brother and his wife die in a tragic accident leaving behind their 13-year-old son. The regular pitfalls of parenthood are magnified when paired with polyamorous new parents, evolving powers, and the well-meaning but misguided neighbors of Evermorre.

Good for this person. This is exactly what you do. Screw the job.

I had a job that made me work an all nighter, 30 hours straight, over Thanksgiving. I resigned that Monday and it was one of the most satisfying decisions I’ve ever made.

Part 3:

Please pay attention to all the manipulation tactics this boss uses, because they’re pulling out every trick in the book.

“I’m not your boss, I’m your friend”

“Other people will be hurt by this and it’s your fault and I’m going to tell them all that”

Mocking language

Jobs are important too

“Be a team player”

“We’re your family too”

Talking as if this is a thing you must do

“We all make sacrifices”

Undermining your authority

“You caused all of this, really”

Accusing you of being “unprofessional”

“Look at the money you cost us”

“Just laugh it off and come back to work”

This is like a 101 course in how employers use guilt trips to coerce you into putting up with their bullshit. This is precisely why you should never trust those employers who insist that they’re “like a family.” They are not. It’s just a ruse so that your boss can neg you into putting your job ahead of your actual life.

genuinely one of the saddest parts of this new era of the internet is how hard it is to rick roll someone now. with people's attention spans shortening so much, they wouldn't even get through the first few bait seconds before clicking off the video. like i saw a comment that ended with "btw i made all of this up" and the replies kept treating it so seriously because none of them finished the entire 4 sentence comment. and We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I (do I) A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

newbie fic authors, shooting themselves in the foot: This fic is bad haha I suck at writing lol I am being mean to myself in the hopes that you will be nice to me but actually am dissuading anyone from even clicking on my fic because all I have done to advertise it is tell you why you shouldn't read it

me: I am King Big Dick of Fanfic Mountain and I have arrived in your fandom with the Express Intention of writing my Very Favorite Fics, which I will generously allow you to read. You're welcome.

Your discord PFP

Your Tumblr PFP

Baldness is for nerds this is a battle to the death. If you have the same character/pfp on both platforms you have to decide which is the superior.

You have to explain your reasoning in the reblogs too

Okay so good news, the ADHD medication is working and I can focus on tasks. Downside, I understand that question on the autism screening that goes "do you have trouble switching tasks"

[teaboot]

the ADHD was load-bearing

[spngirlpolls]

there's a lot to bitch about re: supernatural but at least it was made in 2005 starring teen soap actors on the cw with one million episodes per season. that's real television. if they made that shit now it would be like six episodes on apple tv and glen powell would be in it. so count your fucking blessings.

1930s news about a trans woman: Well I'll be curfuffled young Corlotta Jhonson has transformed herself from a dandy into a dame and what a Bombshell she's become. And How!

1930s news about trans men: Wanted dead or alive this young lady who started wearing trousers, the tomboy terror known only as The Crust is wanted for snorting the President's personal stash of opium and has slain nearly every senate member in a pistol duel.

I'm a huge fan of the early 1900s/late 1800s Mexican (?) transmasc who would threaten to shoot anybody who called him a girl. Looked like a total badass too. Please somebody know who I'm talking about.

[crazy-pages]

I do know who you're talking about but can't remember his name.

[lavampiremerveilleuse]

His name is Amelio Robles. Just so people have the information ✨

I love how everyone in the notes is claiming that this post is about a different trans man. They were all like that back then.

[beemovieerotica]

"no you're wrong everyone here knows that jkr is a terf but they hate us / don't care" my gay psychiatrist who specializes in lgbt patients needed me to explain to him what a "terf" was. another counselor i saw whose brother is gay and works in the transfem community had a harry potter mug on her desk. the political beliefs of a british fantasy book author are not high on american news priorities. please be real. your knowledge is specific and not world-shattering in the scheme of things. venture outside your bubble for 5 minutes and talk to someone who isn't a white queer in their 20s.
