i think that when god made stealing a mortal sin he didn’t know that walmart would ever exist

I’m absolutely not a rabbi, but I’ve been thinking a lot about this, actually, and what stealing might mean to gd. and I know this post is probably a joke but like I said. been thinking about it a lot.

So what a lot of people may not know is that the Torah is mostly like. a farming manual. A day-to-day life guide for 6,000 years ago. And so it has instructions for harvesting, of course. But it says specifically that you shouldn’t reap all the way to the edge of your field, and that you should leave that for the poor. It also says that you shouldn’t take the fallen grapes from your vineyard, and to leave that also for the poor. And a lot more little things like that.

So why is it encouraged? Why doesn’t it count as stealing for the poor to take the food you grew?

I think that gd’s definition of stealing would, in this case, punish you if you did take the fallen food from your fields, because you’d be taking it from the mouths and bellies of people who clearly desperately need it. It’s not the poor who are stealing, because they are simply trying to survive. I think gd wants us to remember, in our harvests, in our successes, that we have a duty to give what we can to those who need it, and if we don’t, that’s stealing from our fellow human.

In other words, pouring bleach on edible food thrown in dumpsters is stealing, and a mortal sin.

So I kept telling my husband to stop unfolding his clean clothes and leaving them on the floor, and he insisted he wasn’t doing any of that even though I had the evidence.

Just found the cat pulling t-shirts out of his drawer, which had been left slightly ajar. The culprit has escalated from trashcan crimes and is trying to cause upset in my marriage now.

I discovered the ruse a bit faster than the former but she ALSO pulls clothes off the hangers by trying to “climb” them so she can sit on the top closet shelf.

@machamp your tags are perfect

This seems like the sort of take that would be much improved by actually watching Clueless. Because no, that scene is not written such that “the takeaway is supposed to be that she’s airheaded or unintelligent.” While Cher Horowitz comes across as superficial and immature at the start of the movie, and a lot of her character arc deals with the way she grows up socially/emotionally, it’s clear all along that she’s quite intelligent, and this scene is absolutely not a joke at her expense.

Maybe it’s kind of quixotic of me to bother snarking about this at all, and ironically the latter half of those tags does sum up the actual point of the scene pretty well, but I guess I’m just getting increasingly sick of the fact that tumblr’s default mode of media analysis is “refuse to acknowledge the possibility that subtext could exist, then whine about how on the most literal reading a scene doesn’t agree with our views.” Also Clueless is a pretty good movie and deserves better.

It’s fun, definitely worth a watch. One of the originators of the trend of adapting classic literature (in this case Emma, by Jane Austen) as teen movies, and one of the best examples of that form.

Today’s gay disaster:

So two firefighters came into my store this morning. Now, we get firefighters in the store once in a while, probably because our complex is perpetually setting off the fire alarm, and every time they show up my whole team fawns over them like they’re walking sex gods and I don’t really Get It.

But y’all. Two firefighters came into my store this morning, and I Get It. Because that woman was so goddamn attractive, with her dark eyes and her muscles and her strong hands and her charming smile and her casual confidence just lounging around like she owned the place and a;dlfghadfghdfg I have never looked at ANYONE and immediately stopped breathing but y’all it HAPPENED. This woman was so stunningly handsome that I literally cannot tell you what the other female firefighter in the room looked like beyond “I think she was blonde.”

But you know what, I’m BoH so I didn’t have to talk to the stunningly handsome firefighter, and that was fine. I minded my business and tried (and failed) not to look at her. Until the next guests came in, and I said “Hi, welcome in!” reflexively like I’m supposed to.

And this firefighter. She looked at me with this cheeky little smirk, and she said, “Hey now. You didn’t welcome me in.”

And instead of saying something coy, or charming, or clever, the words that actually came out of my mouth were: “Well, you’re very attractive, and it threw me off.”

Y’all she chuckled and she WINKED AT ME. And I’m pretty sure I died on the spot.

She was so charming that I didn’t realize until an hour later that she wasn’t wearing a mask and I’d forgotten to be annoyed about it.

So today I get to work and my boss hands me my paperwork and… a lighter. A nondescript blue plastic lighter, which I flip over a couple of times looking for initials and then, not seeing any, I ask, “Whose is this?”

“It’s for you,” my boss says, with that look on his face like he’s trying not to give away the punchline of a joke.

And y’all, it’s relatively early in the morning. I haven’t been getting a lot of sleep lately. I haven’t had my coffee yet. So forgive me, because my dumb gay ass asks, “What for?”

Which it turns out is exactly what he wants me to ask, because he says with a big grin, “Heard you wanted to get someone’s attention at the fire department.”

All day long at regular intervals he points out flammable objects around the store.

I swear my entire team is out to get me.

Out to get you??? I have had some amazing bosses, but I’ve never had one that encouraged me to set fire to my place of business for the purposes of improving my love life.
