The Snarkiest Of Llamas

[thesnarkyllama]

Get in on a #limitededition #stockingstuffer before the #holiday rush - I found some #sample sets! These are basically #collectorseditions! Each set has one each: #butterfly, silly #sheep, silken #rainbow, black & white sheep, rainbow #tree, and Llalla, my #llama logo. There are 2 each with small, large, and locking findings in each set. No changes will be made to the assortment or findings. They’ll be sold #firstcomefirstserved until they’re gone for $12/set which includes US first-class shipping. Please message me with your email address and how many sets you’d like (limit 3 per customer), and I’ll send a PayPal invoice. https://www.instagram.com/p/BqIoictlTZG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15b68f93nu7oy

the full music video for this is just… a serious mood.

I want to be friends with this man

[wlkingcontraindication]

What if everyone in the US who makes under a living wage just… didn’t show up to work for 1 day.

Just 1 day.

No big march or loud protests that seem to be getting ignored lately.

Instead you stay home and don’t go to work.

Take it a step further and don’t buy anything either.

Can you imagine the chaos??

The 1% and ‘upper middle class’ wakes up for their morning Starbucks/drive through/ gas station/ breakfast run only to find the doors have not been opened yet?

People rushing from business to business, completely confused and upset because there is no one there to serve them?

PR reps for corporations panicking because they can’t just say “they didn’t show up because we refuse to pay them enough to live” that would tank the company. And what are they going to do? Fire everyone? There would be no one to replace that many people because it’s not like the upper classes would condescend to work a “low skill, entry level, job meant for teenagers”

CEOs and shareholders losing shares and billions of dollars because their greed singlehandedly ruined the company.

Capitalism depends upon your participation.

What if we chose not to?

[imjustabagofbags]

I’m waiting.

[equality-is-anarchy]

It’s called general strike and it is an immensely powerful action

[thesnarkyllama]

Except the people who make less than a living wage can't afford to lose a day of pay - how's that for the circle of life

[teashoesandhair]

Dear everyone who is currently working on a Thing, whatever that Thing may be,

Good luck with the Thing. You can do the Thing. You will do the Thing. You just have to do the Thing.

Best wishes,

Someone who is also doing a Thing

Reasons why I need the A in LGBTIAQ to stand for Asexual, not Ally

Because my mother told me that all I needed to do was get drunk and lie back and let my husband have his fun. Because if I was drunk, I’d be more relaxed and it’d be over sooner

Because my sister told me that I was trapping my husband in an abusive marriage, and that one day he was going to leave me

Because both of them looked at me in disgust

Because my asexuality is considered to be as great a crime against my husband as a woman who has affairs and cheats on her husband

Because my cousin didn’t even try to understand, and just kept asking ‘but what about in five years? how will you feel then?’

Because I was so afraid of my body and so afraid of sex that I didn’t seek medical help for a legitimate question for over a year for fear of being labelled a deviant or something broken

Because I still ask myself at least once every day if my husband wouldn’t be better off without me

Because I still ask myself at least once every day if I’m broken

Because I still tell myself at least once every day that I’m pathetic and useless and an abnormality

Because I love my husband with every fiber of my being, but everywhere I turn I’m told I really don’t, because love = sex

I need A to stand for Asexual because nobody ever talked to me about asexuality even when I was an outpatient at the women’s hospital for 18 months, and everyone told me desire would come in time

I need A to stand for Asexual because we are literally invisible, and so unimportant that people assume we don’t even need representation, because everyone assumes our lives must be bland and unimportant and lacking in challenges or bigotry

For every asexual that wants a relationship, for every asexual that does not want a relationship, for every asexual who has not yet come to terms with their identity, for every asexual who was told we were abnormalities, for every asexual who was told we just weren’t doing sex right, that we needed a good fucking, that we needed to be drunk, that we needed to relax, that we needed to be raped

We need representation, and we need visibility

That is why the A needs to stand for Asexual, and never for Ally

Fucking Important Post.

[left-hand-path-notes]

Just so we’re fucking clear, this blog is inclusionist. If that’s a prob, gtfo.

[theomachomai]

People don’t understand the enormous and insidious pressure aces are under to just give in and pretend you like it already. This at an individual and institutional level- look at the way psychologists treat people who don’t want sex, whether they are ace or not. Conversion therapy for aces is so normalized that people don’t even notice it exists.

I made Dave motivational posters :O 

Go get them in the SHOP.

[p0dunkpunk]

For those of you who don’t know, I work at an anarchist co-op coffee shop.

Apparently, all the Chicano/Cholo boys in my neighborhood have caught on the the fact that I sneak food and stuff to all the little punk kids and homeless kids at the coffee shop.

There are three in particular who call me Mom. Not Mami, not Ma, Mom. The rest refer to me as “Miss”.

They’ve decided to always have one of the three of them there with me on my night shifts. (Especially after they witnessed the last bad shift where I had to kick a bunch of tweakers out. Said tweakers lit my fucking bulletin board on fire.)

Tonight, one of the boys actually charged up a crackhead who wouldn’t get out when I told him to leave.

About an hour later, I was emptying bus tubs when that same lovely boy walked in and wetted a wash rag. I asked what he was doing and he told me not to worry. So, I went about my business, doing dishes, bussing the main dining tables, etc.

I’d left a broom in the smoking room and a fresh trash bag in the bathroom for once I was done with the dishes.

When I walked out, everything was spotless and the trash had been replaced. He’d wiped all my tables, swept, mopped, and emptied all the ash trays.

He’d also picked the lock on the bathroom so his friend could take out the trash for me. (Which I’m not sure whether I should scold him for. Haha)

They snuck around and did my closing shift duties to thank me for keeping them warm and fed.

I’m fucking crying.
