The thing is a part of me will always be a bit of an Emerald Fennel defender solely because of the fact she was on Call the Midwife. Like, that’s my girl Patsy! She did lesbianism in 1960s London east end! She had gay sex in a nunnery!!!

the concept of book elphaba deeply hating religion her whole life EXCEPT for saint glinda. the concept of her praying at saint glinda’s emerald city altar every time she knows she might die within the day. the concept of her finding fiyero dead and immediately going to saint glinda’s convent, then staying there for seven years. the concept of her being named after a saint herself and STILL only finding comfort in following saint glinda. the most doomed to ever yuri tbh.

“The thing is, the song wasn't scripted. We'd rehearsed the scene as it was, then when the cameras were setting up, Rosie was noodling around on the piano (just for fun) then she started to sing this most beautiful song, which I now know to be 'A Case Of You' by Joni Mitchell. It was mesmerising.

As I say, it wasn't scripted, but it fitted the mood of the scene so perfectly that we decided to film it, not knowing whether we'd be able to use it or not. Joni Mitchell very rarely gives permission for her work to be used like this, so we wrote to her and explained the story... and she gave us the thumbs up. Can you believe it? We felt very honoured and very lucky and very grateful. It's a breath-taking moment, and I think it's the most extraordinary thing l've ever had the privilege of being part of shooting.”

idk what neurodivergent young adult needs to hear this but you are NOT supposed to give 100% at your job. I've gotten more promotions and raises since I started giving 40-60%, which my evil CEO uncle informed me is what bosses actually expect when they say 110%. My mental health has improved tremendously. I've spent 2 out of 5 workdays secretly writing my novel for the last 2 years and I've never been more respected and appreciated. Also--when you see glaring wasteful errors in the company's operating systems, say absolutely nothing! Embrace inefficiency. It is your friend in this capitalist hellscape.

[mbrainspaz]

@sparrow-va Seen a lot of people asking this and here's a starter-pack, which others have also added in the comments:

Start on day one. It's almost impossible to scale back if you started out giving 100% —it might be possible though, so don't give up hope.

If you can get away with it, 'waste' roughly half of your time. You can work on a personal project if IT won't clock you, or go for long walks if you can sneak out of the office. I walked 3-4 miles every day when I started my current job. I also walked to Barnes & Noble to sit on the floor and read comics. I've spent a few days just watching TikToks or Fall of Civilizations. If you have Work From Home days, buy a mouse jiggler! (Don't install mouse jiggler software, that shit's traceable.)

If you're still not sure, pay close attention to how much work your worst coworker is doing, and copy that. I bet you it will be 40-60% of what you feel you could easily do, especially if they are 50+.

Never finish anything immediately. If you want to get a project done, knock it out, and then set a reminder to send it at least 2-3 days later. I fuck this one up the most, if I'm honest, 'cause shocking people with how fast I can accomplish things is like a drug.

Remember!!!! Being the fastest and the best will get you NOTHING—except possibly the kind of attention that gets you abused and fired. Promotions for hard work are a myth. It's capitalist propaganda you MUST expunge from your brain. Aim to be the worker your manager expects, not the one they're impressed by—except in a social sense. I got a $2 raise for singing in 3 part harmony with my bosses once.

Survive.

They're squeans I'm pretty sure! If they pop like that anyway. But the term for this kind of "symbol to refer to the general vibe of something in art" is called "Emanata" because it emanates from a person or object.

really unethical of stephen schwartz to cut out the part where glinda faints into elphaba's arms and starts purring and then begs elphaba to take her to the sex club

❝For when she chose to remember her youth at all, she could scarcely dredge up an ounce of recollection about that daring meeting with the Wizard. She could recall far more clearly how she and Elphie had shared a bed on the road to the Emerald City. How brave that had made her feel, and how vulnerable too.❞ — Gregory Maguire, The Wicked Years

Came across this fallen Chaffinch nest, fortunately fallen before any eggs laid it seems. Absolutely gorgeous nests

[hewasnumberwan]

Mickey's Attrition fanart inspired me to continue the mirror kiss scene

"...

Elphaba blinked herself out of a trance, then as if wanting to put distance between them so that she may find clarity, she turned her head and came into view with her profile in the mirror, her heavy breath fogging up the glass.
