[petruchio]

you ever think about what obi wan and that diner alien had going on

[petruchio]

both the length of his pause and obi wans reaction imply several things that go entirely unexplored in the rest of the series

proof of life:

i made it to round two of an interview process!!

retail and a ton of other shit has gotten to me - not that i've even been active that much

[gayestcowboy]

this might be a hot take but i think we should still be required to wear masks on airplanes

[gayestcowboy]

[gayestcowboy]

we need to start hounding people into wearing masks again. why aren’t you wearing a mask on public transit? why aren’t you wearing a mask in the crowded grocery store? why aren’t you wearing a mask in the literal hospital? if you’re half as progressive as you claim to be you’d require masks at your busy events. you’re not a progressive if you’re leaving out the immunocompromised. plus covid can still fuck you up even if you’re perfectly healthy and had your vaccines. wouldn’t you rather be unnecessarily cautious than risk getting yourself or someone else sick? put your mask back on in the crowded mall. coward

Learning to delete/mute/block before a negative comment takes root in your mind is a modern survival skill. If you're going to wander the overgrown countryside of the internet, you need to develop a quick eye for ticks.

It's deeply tempting to respond to the "well, actually," to the cruel assumption, to the unjust accusation, to the odious viewpoint. It's tempting because you're defaulting to the etiquette of dinner conversation. This isn't a dinner conversation. Someone is shouting at you from a moving car. Turn away.

This is an extremely good and helpful sentiment, and one I’ve subscribed to for a long time. Delete the message quickly and permanently. Last time I got a nasty anon ask I skimmed it, realized what it was, and deleted it. Did one or two phrases sit with me for a while? Sure, maybe 20, 30 minutes. I really wanted to respond. But if I had, that cannonball would still be hanging around my neck and present on my blog, and as it is I don’t remember what it was about or even those two phrases that I thought I would. 

I also am of the opinion that it INFURIATES the commenter/sender not to get a response, because why would they be a dickhead if they didn’t want a response, so the longer time passes without one, the healthier I am and the angrier and more anxious they are. It’s good for your mental health AND the healthiest form of vengeance!

everyone giving up on masks is so fucking stupid, like it’s like if everyone was like huh, we’ve been wearing seatbelts for a while now and it’s really decreased the amount of injuries people have had in car crashes. let’s all stop wearing them now cause we can’t live in fear forever! no more seatbelts unless you really want one! Oh, you’re still wearing a seatbelt? Didn’t you know you don’t have to use those anymore? why are you being so paranoid?

[sureuncertainty]

the way people are like WELL IT DOESN’T DO ANYTHING IF YOU’RE NOT SICK as if that time where everyone was wearing masks and flu season was practically nonexistent didn’t happen. wearing my mask has absolutely drastically reduced the amount of times i get sick (pre pandemic i’d get sick about 4-6 times a year, and in the past three years i’ve gotten sick a TOTAL of like 4 times?) and at this point living in florida i’m basically the only person wearing a mask, it definitely has protected me lol.

 also it’s about it being a group effort anyway which is the main difference in my analogy, since seatbelts are only to protect the wearer while masks are to protect both the wearer and those around them. i am aware of that, i know it’s not a perfect analogy but like. if you look at the literal evidence from scientists and studies saying that masks drastically reduce spread of illnesses regardless of whether people are showing symptoms or not like…. it’s substantial lol

some people just wanna feel better about the fact that they’re killing disabled and immunocompromised people and don’t wanna be confronted with the reality of their actions, when it’s literally a piece of cloth like i got used to it very quickly and i have severe sensory issues so get over yourselves lol

(@ everyone in my notifs agreeing tho i love you all)

[spacebifriends]

i hate wearing a mask, but because i'm immunosuppressed as a result of a transplant, i suck it up and do it anyways. so... y'know, please mask up so i don't get sick.

I am so untrusting of minors on discord as well as feeling bad for them and I think both feelings can coexist

[hidingoutbackstage]

I have been in public discord communities where the majority of fans are minors and honestly the behavior they exhibit is both inappropriate and shows a lack of caution

There have been kids I've seen who immediately post pictures of their face in photo-sharing channels, but it gets worse than that. They've posted baby pictures, pictures of them with friends and family members (mentioning those people by name as well) pictures at locations with captions relating that location to where they live ("me at the park by my house!") pictures of them at school.

If you are on semi-decent terms with these kids, and you ask, they'll often tell you what state they live in. Plenty of kids outside the U.S. will straight up tell you what country they live in as if to brag. If you ask someone what time it is for them out of concern that they're staying up to late, they'll tell you what time zone they live in and often end up talking about sleep schedule, home life, etc.

Kids will turn on their cameras in a public vc if someone else has theirs on too. Kids will feel embarrassed that they're on mute in a vc and always explain it with "my mic isn't working," never, "I'm not comfortable sharing my voice"

They'll share personal information like interpersonal relationships those in the server aren't a part of. They'll link their other social medias, even private ones. They'll introduce themselves in introduction channel with real name, age, and often their neurodivergency or even their triggers. And if you have a vent channel, they'll use it like a substitute therapist.

If you're a minor in a public Discord server, I get that you want to make friends, I really do. But you have GOT to be so careful in these situations. You CANNOT trust people, no matter how nice they are to you. You should ALWAYS exercise caution when operating and being part of a discord server. Please, this is not me being a wet blanket, this is me trying to help you be safe.

(P.S. Imo, minors should never be mods if 18+ people who know what they're doing are on the server)

[intersexelphie]

I’m 26 and I still don’t really share my full name around on here or twitter, especially not publicly. Minors, please please be careful.

"If stuff was just handed to me I'd have no motivation to do anything! That's human nature!" No, babe, that's depression. Psychologically healthy people are still motivated to do things even when their survival isn't being actively threatened.

okay so like, we all know that housekeeping in a hotel is a Shit Job, right?

I worked with a woman who was independently wealthy. But she liked working housekeeping. So she did. And if the manager got bitchy with her, she’d just shrug and be like “Okay, I can quit.”

Like the manager treated her like a human being because she knew she had to because otherwise she’d lose one of her best workers.

Yes, everyone should be just handed the money to live.

[actualaster]

I worked with a lady who’s husband made more than enough to support them both.  She just did the retail to have something to do with herself part-time.

There’s a lot of people who’d happily do the same sort of thing.  Honestly?  A lot of the jobs we consider “shitty” jobs?  Are shitty because the employees are treated like garbage.

If employees weren’t being screwed over by people higher up the chain constantly or being forced to kiss the asses of customers currently shitting all over them, those jobs would by and large be a whole lot more bearable, and appealing to more people!!

[bevismusson]

I don't know what charity shops are like in the rest of the world, but in the UK a lot of charity shops are run by volunteers (usually, but not always, with a paid manager if some kind) many of whom are either retired and don't need to work but want to and enjoy it or who don't need a regular income and are choosing to give back to society in any small way they can. Money is not, and should not be, the only motivator for doing a job.

sometimes i wish i could grab my childhood self and shake them by the shoulders and say YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE WORTH LOVING. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES ARE MADE BETTER BECAUSE OF YOU. YOU ARE NOT A BURDEN. YOU ARE NOT DAMNED. SOMEDAY YOU WILL CRY OVER SUNSETS AND POETRY MORE THAN YOUR OWN PAIN. I NEED YOU TO REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE WORTH LOVING. but i can't go back in time, so i say it to myself now. because i believe there's a future version of me looking back on this moment feeling the exact same way.

[jungwildeandfree]

When times are tough I live on love borrowed from the better times. When times are good, I remember when times were tough, and I hold that mourning in my heart for myself to cherish when times are tough again.

finally queueing up a bunch of photos on my more professional photography tumblr and damn does it feel good

This sounds like a shitpost but people should be allowed to be horny. As in, sexuality is just part of life for most people and there’s no reason for consensual sexual behavior to be punished. A celebrity getting “caught” at a sex club shouldn’t be a scandal. No one should be fired for having a fetlife profile outside of work. Nudes getting leaked shouldn’t be career-ending. Denying and hiding (consensual) sexual interests doesn’t make anyone more professional, it just makes everyone more repressed. And sterilizing ourselves to be better work drones isn’t productive, it’s just creepy. I’d rather my surgeon get absolutely railed on camera and come to work in a good mood, frankly.

blah blah aging tumblr population etc etc if you are ever visiting a family that just had a baby, and you know that they have other small children, bring a little toy for each of the other kids. it doesn’t have to be anything fancy, but even the most charitable, well-behaved child starts feeling left out after the nth visitor brings gifts and attention for their parents and baby sibling and isn’t there for them at all, especially since their parents have probably been completely consumed with the new baby. make their day and they will remember that bit of kindness and attention from you forever.

hi today i walked a mile round-trip to get tea.

it was 6 months ago that i could only walk a half-mile.

do i miss their lemonade drinks because they're not pasteurized? yes.

but was it nice to get out, support local businesses, and enjoy something i didn't make? yes.

tl;dr - i'm healing.
