Been feeling nostalgic and missing lots of things from the past. If you're still here, hi :)

Walking switchbacks never ever occurred to me.

But I’m big on pacing myself. Taking frequent rest breaks, etc.

Maybe I’ll start using tumblr again?? Idk

[notso-nifty]

Hello!

Apparently the last time I posted on tumblr was 2 years ago but it feels MUCH longer than that! Hello to anyone who is still here!

When I see a post about someone seeing Cursed Child 10 times... how do you have thousands of dollars for one play? (Actually two shows including both parts)

HR: if they work 40 hours a week u have to give them benefits

Big company: hmm okay. They shall work 39

HR: if they work 8 hours u have to give them a half hour lunch and intermittent breaks 

company: 7 hours and 50 minutes, it is 

[airframeextender]

the law: if theyre employees you have to pay for benefits

company: lets staff through a temp service and wait so long to hire them in they quit out of frustration

[lolotehe]

the law: You must pay them this and no less.

company: I shall pay them that and no more.

[officialweatherwax]

The law: you have to pay your employees

Company: then we’ll replace them all with interns

[black-geek-supremacy]

The law: you gotta increase wages

Company: we’ll cut hours

[paramud]

the law: you have to give raises

company: mayhaps they would enjoy an extra five cents

[kinetic-elaboration]

the law: employees have rights

company: around here we call them “independent contractors”

I swear EVERY SINGLE ONE of my employers has been at LEAST two of these at once.

CEO’s are scum.

Alternate universe where I literally just to go to school forever (for free) so I can just learn about art and literature and history and languages for 100 years. No job skills. No credit requirements. No student loans. Just learning.

open and raw communication with your partner may be uncomfortable and feel so ugly and vulnerable but it solves soo many problems in the end

[hellfresh]

The idea that was sold to us of "love is effortless and you should communicate telepathically with your partner" is false. Love is awkward as hell. It's A LOT of straight up talking and realization of your self - your own needs. It's important to make those needs heard. Do not deny yourself full love

[sylviaplathstypewriter-deactiva]

that idea robs us of so much intimacy, the intimacy that comes with honesty and vulnerability and being known.

yeah theres no way to stop using amazon completely because they own so many things and many websites use them for hosting, but audible is something we really dont need. amazon is already trying to replace public libraries with “audible amazon libraries” and we cant let that happen. your libraries are already payed for with taxes ((though normally way underfunded because politicians normally dont care enough)) 

use libby or overdrive for audiobooks or ebooks, support libraries and buy from their used books sale (ive scored so many awesome books, and old books! as well as some great cds and movies) , and many libraries also mail out books!! theres so many options and libraries are always changing to make themselves more accessible for everyone, so support them! theyre such an important part of your community.

[cowboysuggest]

also you can just ask for your library to order a book if they dont have it, or they can borrow it from neighboring libraries in your county or even other counties depending on the place! libraries are the best and when i was homeless they were one of the best resources i could have asked for with free ac, wifi, good bathrooms, and books books books ad well as so many other resources, groups, clubs, events … please support your local library!

Doggust days 1-9!! I’ve been having so much fun doing these little gouache paintings.

One of my parents made a comment about me going to counseling that was pretty misinformed and hurtful. I know it’s because they don’t really understand, so I’m gonna try to have a talk about this to clear up some things. It would be easy to just rant about this and assume the worst, but I really do think it might just be a misunderstanding and we can reach a deeper understanding. Here’s hoping!!

After seeing a group of 10+ middle school/high school kids clustered around a table near the exit of a Starbucks, I now completely understood the Yelp reviews about how the manager had a habit of “shushing” groups of people. They were LOUD, blocking an exit, and most of them didn’t buy anything?

Hot take everyone needs at least one creative hobby to accompany their consumptive ones. I don’t mean just art and writing I mean literally anything where you create something. Embroidery, cooking, knitting, gardening, wood whittling, trap making, needle felting, instrument playing, bug raising, fandom analysis writing, ANYTHING where you do work and can hold the fruits of your labor in you hands. Anything where you MAKE something else.

Something that isn’t a career choice. Something you don’t have to be good at. As long as it brings you joy.

Please get hobbies, they enrich your life.
