it cracks me up that there was a secret society of American journalists who, from 1965 to 2006, slipped the phrase "it was as if some occult hand..." into articles

this all started when one guy used the phrase in an article and his friends thought it was so hilariously out of place that they all started using it

it drove their editors crazy but they kept doing it

that was like. the whole thing. they called it the Order of the Occult Hand and all it did was put a random metaphor into as many news articles as possible

they picked a new phrase in the early 00s, which has not been revealed yet- to my knowledge

[undeadentropy]

Holy shit, how does that even happen? It's as if some occult hand

If you would have picked one that's not here, apologies, tumblr only gave me 12 options, which is still two more than I anticipated

[cowboybiboh]

I was a longleg monk in the dnd oneshot I played and I KICKED ASS but also got stuck in a tiny submarine, it was hilarious.

[tokiro07]

I thought you said Longleg Mink and realized that's a rad combo that's gone completely unexplored

Minks are all natural born martial artists, so giving them access to Longleg combat would be pretty sick

before the poll, a quick definition of terms:

"mutual" - you found this post from a mutual (on their blog or your dash) "following" - you found this post from someone you're following, but who isn't following you "random" - you found this by scrolling through someone's blog, who you don't follow. this includes people following you "For You" - you found this on the For You page "recommended" - you found this in a "Check out these blogs" popup, or a "recommended" post when looking at a different post "other" - you found this post some other way. comment how? "reblog ✅" - you're going to reblog, queue, or schedule this post "reblog ❌" - you're NOT going to reblog, queue, or schedule this post

with that out of the way:

More importantly?

Stop electing ‘Business People’ to Office.

Business People ARE NOT politicians.

Running a business is NOTHING LIKE running a Government.

Businesses are NOT, in any fashion, Democratic. The MASS majority of people who make a business work? HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO SAY In what it does, HOW it works, or what its rules are.

Businesses are run by single individuals (CEO’S.) who dictate what a Companies Goals are+ where, when, how it achieves those goals (AT BEST? Co.’s are run by Board of Directors who’s interests ARE NOT Employee Interests)

Businesses are Autocracies/Dictatorships

Business people think/function/operate as Autocrats/Dictators. Compromise, Public Welfare, & Public Service are UTTERLY FOREIGN CONCEPTS to them. Autocrats/Dictators make ATROCIOUS Government Leaders.

Stop electing ‘Business People’ to Office.

i need to make up a new assignment for a writing class about multimodality

anyone have any ideas?

[saint-ambrosef]

I keep seeing people online say that any job offering unlimited PTO is a "scam", because it's reverse psychology and you'll actually take less than normal, or that the manager still has to approve it and won't actually allow more than a few weeks.

I'm sure this can happen, but it's not at all a given! My husband's job offers unlimited PTO and he takes a cumulative average of 6-8 weeks off every year. Management is totally cool with it because he's a good worker who gets his projects done on time, and he's considerate by not taking off during the few weeks of the year that his team crunches for deadlines.

Don't scare people into avoiding jobs that offer good benefits in case they might not pay out. Instead, teach them to ask the right questions during interviews so they can gauge accessibility:

What are common reasons a PTO request may be denied? What's the criteria to be approved?

What's the average amount of time your teammates take off every year? (This will tell you how realistically you will get to take off)

How often do you (the interviewer) take advantage of the PTO policy?

Are there any exceptions to the "unlimited" policy, such as certain weeks of the business year, or length of consecutive PTO days taken at once?

How long does a new employee have to work for the company before the unlimited PTO policy kicks in for them?

Remember, you're allowed to ask questions during interviews! Use it to your advantage. And don't avoid jobs just because someone told you the benefits are too good to be true.

There should be a new name for Frankenstein’s monsters as a species. I love Frankenstein’s monsters, I love mismatched flesh tones and visible stitches, but I can’t keep calling them Frankenstein’s monsters because A) most of them aren’t made by Frankensteins, and B) it’s a fucking mouthful every time. We need a generic no name brand Frankenstein’s monster.

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

Creature is too generic, and zombie isn't quite accurate. i've heard the word golem thrown around, but that's an entirely different creature from Jewish folklore. I'm thinking something medical, like transplants or grafts or donors. I like graft; it's short, sweet, and to the point.

Frankenstein's monster is a graft named Adam. Victor isn't a necromancer, he's a grafter (graftist? a scientist who creates grafts?).

Thoughts?

[thestuffedalligator]

Graft is fun. I like a few of the suggestions in the notes that have a similar energy as graft like “patchwork” from Girl Genius or “stitched” from Twig. Like the main thing that distinguishes a Frankenstein’s monster from your average reanimated corpse is the cobbledness. The stitches. The proof of being made.

[seenthisepisode]

no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity

Girl are you the Hays Code the way you consider media irredeemable if it depicts anything that strays away from the norm you're comfortable with or depicts anything morally questionable without definitively condemning it and anyone associated with it, therefore creating worse stories and content and making it difficult for people to engage with complicated issues from a nuanced and controlled perspective?
