It will never not annoy me when people treat Labor Day as a raaahhhhh USA USA USA *eagle thats really a hawk screech* holiday. This is a day to remember the workers, laborers and unions that brought change to working conditions, hours, and child labor during and since the industrial revolution.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

[carbomcoco]

they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

[aphony-cree]

people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"

they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited

Administrator at work yesterday told me my bump is WAY too big for how far along I am and now I am unreasonably self conscious even though I genuinely couldn’t give a fuck less?

[skulls-n-ivy]

More evidence that there is literally no reward for hard work or exceptional performance. So why even bother?

[andorology]

brooding men who cannot communicate their feelings if their life depended on it are only hot when they're fictional. if i have to deal with one in real life i will curse him and pray for his downfall every night before i go to bed

[kestrel-tree]

It's because the writer communicates their feelings for them. If people wanna pull that off in real life they need to hire a guy to walk around behind them narrating.

[bananonbinary]

#can i be the guy#ill narrate SO incorrectly#theyll all learn how to talk for themselves just to shut me up (via @cirrus-grey)

i'm loving the implication that this isn't something they hired you for, but something you'd do as some sort of public service.

There will never be another character like Blackwall Dragon Age. He's a Grey Warden. The first time you meet him, he saves you from being kirked. He's an idealist. He's a romantic. He's a war hero and a protector and a knight in shining armor. He's a liar and a bullshitter and a coward. He's a family man. He's traumatized by his family's tragedy and his own failures. He's a sports fan. He hates nobles. He's trying to impress nobles. His best friend is a lesbian half his age. He made a suicide pact with his coworker. He's a fuckboy. He genuinely likes women. He helps his friends get laid. He makes toys for children in his free time. He's a child murderer. He always lies about who he is. He always tells the truth about who he is. He gets psychoanalyzed by Varric without either of them realizing it. He fucks so loud it scares the horses. He idolizes courtly love. He's not a Grey Warden. He's every Grey Warden that ever walked on Thedas.

Bisexual Blackwall did not exist because he would have been Too Powerful.

“i should take a walk for my mental health” boring, tired, i don’t even really wanna do it tbh

“i need to check the perimeter” i need to check the perimeter

people should be allowed to have low ambition, and also be able to feed a family on the salary of a cashier at a convenience store.

[aetherograph]

And! We need cashiers. And convenience stores. And I think it's kind of broken that society says people who want to do stuff like that have "low" ambition (not you OP, I get you're using it illustratively because that's what society labels said jobs) and don't deserve to live at the same standard as people with "high" ambitions.

If we need someone to do a job, that job is a role in the community and deserves not just a salary but cultural respect for the role.

"high" ambition jobs are all jobs that involve domineering and controlling others. "low" ambition jobs are all jobs that involve service to others. Have you noticed? Because I have noticed.

But serving others is actually more needed than controlling them.

is actually more needed

than controlling them.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[batsandboba]

when i say “girl” randomly as an interjection i’m speaking to the omnipresent all knowing being of Girl. asking her for mercy. taking girl’s name in vain

[skulls-n-ivy]

Ugh, stress stress stress. Fuck all of this.

[skulls-n-ivy]

Also apparently I’m growing a 90th percentile baby and my body is NOT keeping up. HOW am I supposed to stretch any farther?????

[skulls-n-ivy]

Ugh, stress stress stress. Fuck all of this.

"only 90s kids remember-" wrong, if you're poor and/or rural enough, old tech and fashion doesn't just disappear when it stops being trendy. We had dial-up until 2012

[depsidase]

[theunsinkablesappho]

And I think it's worth noting that "fittest" and even "best adapted" does not necessarily mean optimal, ideal, best, or even most efficient.

All too often, evolution means "good enough." We have countless examples of hazardous traits persisting in nature because while it is hazardous, even outright detrimental to the individual, it is not so detrimental as to prevent reproduction and thus... good enough.

[skulls-n-ivy]

I made lemon garlic alfredo with roasted salmon for dinner and an apple zucchini cake for dessert. Tomorrow I am making Jamaican oxtail stew. All from scratch.

Food is my love language and I love me 🤤

let’s all quit our jobs and just go on walks
