shane and ilya swap jerseys during their last montreal vs boston game!!! its already public that ilya isn’t signing back with boston and it’s part of their 300 step plan of showing the public they’re friends before announcing the irina foundation.

its a show of respect as captains who have been playing against eachother for years and they weighed the pros and cons for weeks!! the pictures of them holding eachothers jerseys are very popular and circle back when they’re out and people start speculating the timeline.

Every day I handle more money than I will ever make. Every day.

At the start of my employment, my boss showed me videos of people stealing, and we both had a chuckle about it. How silly they were! There was a camera overhead, and it’s not to watch the shoppers. See, we can’t actually stop shoplifters. They get away with it maybe nine out of ten times. But we, who are watched and tallied and witnessed? We are always caught.

At first it was hard to hold one hundred dollars bills. An amount I had never seen before. An amount that didn’t exist in my household. It’s normal now. Here is something that is not for me.

“What the hell, I’ll take another,” says the man, pondering our 200 dollar watches. What the hell. Total comes to 580 and not even a flinch in his face. I have been working for 11 hours today and made only 110 dollars. It will go to my rent. Today I work for free, it feels. When I get my check, I will have 35 dollars left for food and saving.

The six hundreds he hands me go into the cash register. For a moment, I imagine having money. Then I put it away, counting out his change.

I know for a fact we sell our products for double what they are worth. That I could be making commission. That they could hand me those 580 dollars and change my life and not even mark the difference in their checkbooks. He’s not the only sale they make today, but I am the reason they made it. He’s not the only one spending 600 dollars, but if I hadn’t spent two hours with him telling me about his life, he wouldn’t have spent any. I go home. I don’t own a watch.

I have watched and rewatched a video on how to make salmon four ways. My shopping list is always the same. Pasta. Rice. Tuna. If I can afford butter it was a good week. I dream of the world I will never walk in, where I can throw the best fish fillet in the cart with a shrug. I hold hundreds in my hand and look up at the camera. I put them under the cash drawer.

I go to work. I scrap together my savings. I eat my bowl of rice slowly. My manager takes a paid week off from work just for his birthday. He owns a yacht. 

I’m not worth the cost of a watch.

i wrote this while i was working at orlando’s walt disney world parks.

i was part of their college program. i moved to the state for it. they legally owned the building i was living in and still charged me rent. i ostensibly was being charged to work for them. it was a 2 bedroom apartment and they placed 6 adult women in it in forced triples.

as many as one in ten disney employees have experienced homelessness while working for the company. despite huge efforts to unionize, strike, or otherwise demand fair treatment; disney has refused to increase employee quality of life.

disney admits publicly that a good portion of their success is because the employees (“cast members”) are dedicated, passionate, and selfless. this is never reflected in pay. even “face” characters (ie those that are princesses etc) make barely above a minimum wage.

at the time that i worked there, i made $8.50 an hour. at one point i was asked to create a human shield around a bag because a bomb dog had alerted to it. for eight fucking dollars an hour.

i now work a very cushy office job. i have bought the salmon and cooked it all four ways.

i go to the store. i am nice to the person behind the counter. she looks up at the camera while she counts out my change. there is nothing fundamentally different about her and i.

we are both worth more than the watch, anyway.

writing is so funny because i could write nonstop for 9hrs and then hit a block where im like "how do i transition between this moment and the next?" and then i just dont touch it for 6 months

[galadrieljones]

Serious advice tho if this happens, it's likely because you already wrote past the end of the scene and wandered too far from the more logical transition point, and you should go back to the last time the writing felt "unforced" and cut everything after.

You can also just skip the transition. Really good writing can span years in a single sentence, like you can just authoritatively state fact and your reader will go with it.

[xalphafox]

This is GOLD! You just saved me like thousands of therapy costs lmao

[headspace-hotel]

When I was writing my fic last few months the strategy I used was "just skip all the scenes I don't want to write" and it worked great in my opinion

DOCTOR WHO | 2.01

[silence37]

Did I include this moment in my ongoing New Earth audio-novelization? You bet I did!

It was like Cassandra was trying to count off the ways she could make Rose squirm – whether it was posing and preening with narcissistic delight, or flicking open a button on the Doctor’s shirt, or loosening up his tie… Rose had seen the Doctor do this before. At Christmas, in her mum’s flat. Stopping in front of mirrors, inspecting the thin, sharp angles of his brand-new reflection. This was different, though; this was completely different. Especially since she didn’t like at all how the Doctor’s hands were roaming so freely over his suit, his sides, down his… ‘But you thought so, too–’ Cassandra waggled her new eyebrows very suddenly and knowingly in Rose’s direction. ‘I’ve been inside your head, Rose Tyler. You’ve been looking…’ Rose felt her cheeks burn a bright, guilty red. ‘N–No I haven’t …!’ ‘Oh yes you have,’ purred the Cassandra-Doctor in a sing-song tone. His body inched itself over to her with a slither and a wiggle, dark brown eyes shining deviously. ‘Look at you blush! You’re always looking. You liiiiike it…’ And Rose really was blushing, now – and spluttering, and even had to pinch her lips together to fight back a laugh. She didn’t answer. Couldn’t. Wasn’t going to give Cassandra the satisfaction. The Doctor’s body came closer, and closer still. Much too close, invading Rose’s personal space with a crooked imitation of that same grin he always used when he called her ‘brilliant’. There was no warmth left there, now; no affection. But it was still enough to make her heart race… It’s not him, Rose reminded herself, praying the Doctor wouldn’t remember any of this. It’s not him, it’s not him, it’s not him– It was his eyes, though. And his voice, and his lips…

let's take a moment and recenter the fact that ilya rozanov is a massive cumslut. truly the poster boy for 'gobble me swallow me'

[fairycosmos]

god everyone and everything is annoying as hell. i get so worried about being annoying myself but it’s like hey the entire planet gets to be irritating as hell apparently and nobody gives a fuck

[sapphireh3arts]

i know folks are gonna call me a pedo for this one, but i grew up seeing my mom and grandma naked. they had health issues and at times needed care and help showering. and i truly think more kids need to be shown the nonsexual reality of naked women at a young age. there is nothing sexual about my grandmothers breasts, they were simply body parts. more women die of heart attacks because people are too afraid of breasts to do real chest compressions, because they are scared to touch their breasts. the sexualization of our bodies literally kills us. i need people to be more normal about naked bodies and i'm 100% serious.
