it fucking sucks being a disabled person who can't work and having to see these fuckass posts where someone's like "ahaha jobless people have no life and that's why everyone shitty online has No Job" and everyone and their mother reblogs it joyfully onto my dash for me to see. yes unemployed and unemployable people are truly without exception dogshit people with no hobbies and no redeeming qualities. you're so right. anyway if you'll excuse me i have to start my shift at the I'll Never Be Employed Because Of Permanent Disability And I Love Knowing How You Really See Me store

[adriagan]

if ur able to work can u reblog this i am seriously SO sick of it.

[adriagan]

btw this isn't solely a disability rights issue or an issue about people who are entirely unable to work. you should also be thinking about the people who are regarded as unhireable. transfems are hugely discriminated against in this way, people of color are passed over for less qualified white people, anyone who has any difficulty playing the interview game is less hireable... frankly anyone who made the mistake of pursuing the things they love and now has a degree for a niche field. if you still joke about Jobless People it's because you've fundamentally connected the worth of people to their labor, and specific labor, work that you see as valuable. and while i'm at it stop making fun of people who still live with their parents. asshole.

Honorable Mention from the comments/reblogs:

All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury

*note: this is actually a collection of short stories and clocks in at about 72k words

**Originally published in the New Yorker in 1948; interestingly, the New Yorker still has this story archived on their website BEHIND A PAYWALL. CAN YOU IMAGINE.

"All Summer in a Day" is the correct answer. I actually didn't read the short story first, I watched the PBS WonderWorks adaptation of it in the 80s, when I was way too young to be that traumatized by a story of bullying and isolation and climate disaster, thanks, Ray

from a certain standpoint birdwatching is a sort of gacha

[shithowdy]

-reliant on RNG random encounters

-instills a deep sense of fomo

-seasonally-cycled releases

-becomes increasingly financially prohibitive the more you want to expand your list and/or document your encounters

-achieved goals sound meaningless to those not in the hobby

[shithowdy]

never give up!

Sandhill Cranes (Antigone canadensis), “colts”, family Gruidae, order Gruiformes, Sarasota, FL, USA

Crane chicks are referred to as “colts”.

Sandhill Cranes breed in the far north of North America, and overwinter in the southern US and northern Mexico.

There are small separate southerly breeding populations in Mississippi, Florida, and Cuba.

Your daily fish #38

Arapaima - Arapaima gigas

BIG FISH ALERT!

They can grow up to 4.5 meters and weight around 200 kg, imagine if one of them charges at you at full speed!

They are strong and resilient swimmers, they can survive when there's low oxygen because they breathe air, they swim to the surface to breathe, and they have a very diverse diet, they basically eat anything.

They can leap out of the water to snatch anything that comes too close, even birds and small mammals.

A absolute unit right there. I love how they look kind of primitive, big thick scales, round fins... reminds me of the coealacanth.
