i do care if someone hires someone to clean though like you can’t just throw that out there as if it isn’t well known that those people that are hired to clean your home exist because they’re poor. wash your own dirty dishes

[raging-fan-human]

I understand what you’re saying, but you also seem to be ignoring the fact that people who are hiring these poor people to clean their houses are giving those people jobs. If they weren’t hiring them to clean their houses, these people may not have a job at all.

[70slesbian]

i don’t agree with this logic. i don’t think we need to settle for a job or nothing, is the same to be said for women who work under slavery like conditions in clothing factories in poor countries? why can’t we fight for change instead of accepting that some people just have to be maids

[jellybeanforest-a-go-go]

Before she moved in to take care of her, my aunt hired a maid to come to my disabled grandmother’s house once a week to clean for like 2-3 hours and paid her $80 every time she came over. There’s no way my grandmother, who had a bum hip from a car accident and hobbled around with her walker (back when she could even walk), could clean her own house. Maids provide an invaluable service, especially for the elderly and disabled, and they shouldn’t be eliminated just because you think their jobs are somehow not good enough for anyone to be doing. Many jobs like housecleaners, gardeners, etc., are great for people who may not speak the local language, who may have had a limited education, or who came here as adults with limited opportunities. My grandfather, who could speak four languages fluently but his English sucked, became a janitor at the age of 58 to support his family when they first came to America, and his kids always advocated that you should treat blue-collar and traditionally low-paid workers with respect because those jobs are valuable and even someone who cleans toilets is a person who is trying their best. Basically, we shouldn’t try to eliminate these jobs; they should just be better compensated.

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

There are like 6 cleaning companies in my local area and they’re all run by local women who just LOVE CLEANING

We really need to stop thinking that some jobs are ‘beneath’ people.

If you can’t/don’t want to do something that needs done, hire someone.

But PAY THEM for their value and RESPECT THEM as people

It isn’t humiliating to do basic labor as long as you’re treated with dignity.

[letitrainathousandflames]

The lady that cared for my grandma (elderly, disabled and with severe dementia) was vital to… well, everything. She cooked, cleaned, kept her company, reminded her of her meds and helped my aunt by taking care of my grandma when my aunt had to leave for work. And yes, she did the “less dignified” work of helping grandma bathe and wipe herself. But you know what?

She loved her job, and she loved my grandma. When my grandma passed away, she was devastated. As of now, she is currently caring for another elderly person while studying to be a nurse, and cares for them like they’re her family just as she did my grandma. She enjoys doing this. Taking care of people is her thing, and she does it with passion.

Last but not least, of course - my dad and his siblings paid her a full-time wage (even though she’d leave at night when my aunt got home), plus health insurance, plus her meals and anything else she might’ve needed while on the job.

No work is either demeaning or rewarding in itself - the way one is treated while doing it is what makes it so.

please tell me you all know the only reason he brought back lexa was to take advantage of your passion for her, to boost his viewership, and amplify his chances of getting his shitty prequel green-lit? please tell me you understand that? he used all of us. this is not a win, my dudes. he’s manipulating the lgbtq+ community one last time for his own selfish fucking purpose, and he needs to be called the fuck out on it, not praised. god, i’m literally raging.

The 100 series finale SPOILERS:

We didn’t get Clexa. That wasn’t even Lexa.

Listen I hate to be THAT person, but we can’t let Jason off the hook for that Clexa BAIT at the end. Because that’s all it was. Bait. An attempt to calm us, shut us up, make us forget the fact the entire final season and everything about it was trash and out of character. It was Jason going “I’m going to PRETEND to give the Clexa shippers what they want in order to appease them about the fact that I already killed and buried the gay ship and ruined the final season out of pettiness and spite!”

Because that wasn’t even Lexa. That was the “Judge” or whatever. It took her form because it takes the form of someone the tester loves. Same being that was Abby for Raven. So yes, Clarke truly loved Lexa! WE ALREADY KNEW THAT. But Lexa didn’t come back from transcending like Clarke’s friends because Lexa was already dead. Just like Bellamy, who got murdered by Clarke meaninglessly, couldn’t come back to be with her. Or any other person who died before this episode. They are all wherever dead people went before the transcendence. That judge isn’t gonna be hanging around in Lexa’s form either, it only came to explain things to Clarke.

So no, we shouldn’t cut Jason ANY slack. He didn’t even throw us a fucking bone, he threw us a rubber chew toy disguised as a bone hoping we wouldn’t remember he’s still a trash show-writer who buried his gays, kills characters out of spite and desire to be “unpredictable” and made the female lead act out a scene of losing her child not long after the actress herself actually had a fucking miscarriage.

[ourfandomcrazyuniverse]

I’ve been watching this show, since the day the pilot aired. I was Charlotte’s age, I’m now about to start my second year in university. I’ve watched every episode since it came out.

And I feel absolutely fucking nothing knowing the finale is next week.

[thecuriousblitz]

To those still watching The 100 and providing updates in the tags for the rest of us who just can’t stomach what the show has become, but self-torturously need to know how this whole garbage train implodes for the sake of closure - thank you. That’s a damn public service.

[ID: A series of tweets by @/Jane Prester that read,

“If you are trapped inside by the smoke and watching your air quality steadily decline- here is somethung you can do right now to make things slightly better.

Get every spare pot/pan/container/bucket you have and fill them halfway with water, place these everywhere in your house you have the space to safely do so. The idea is to create as much watery surface area as possible- the water will gradually absorb smoke particles and clean the air. It’s small, but if you have enough surface area it can make a *very* meaningful difference over 2-3 hours.

Another thing you can do is run a hot shower until your bathtub is 1/2 filled up- leave the batroom door open. The rush of humidity into your living space will knock many of the smoke particles down onto the floor. (Do this every few hours as needed as needed).

I know how it looks but this set up has kept the air quality in my bedroom basically normal for the past 3 days. It’s an improvised solution- but it’s one that works surprisingly well and doesn’t require much in the way of materials.”

The end of the series of tweets is followed by a picture of many containers of water and a fan, domonstrating the set up described. /END ID]

Remake 👀

[theropegeek]

The filmmakers stated that ICE threatened to subpoena raw footage and “threatened legal action” if scenes that negatively portrayed their policies and actions were not removed. 

The pair went as far as to start using encrypted messenger services, installing cameras in their office and moving the raw footage to a secure location to thwart what they believed was very aggressive rhetoric by ICE through the negotiations around the finished film.
