there are monarchists in the notes now

[cnwarforged]

I forgot kings are a thing and thought this meant people who fucking love butterflies

[natalieironside]

Fortunately I don’t live in like England (but for the grace of Jod) so sometimes I’ll see people talking about the concept of monarchy and my first thought will be “You mean like in The Lord of the Rings?  That’s not real”

nothing like stepping outside while the seasons are changing and suddenly feeling a change in the weather that knocks you back in time by several years

“Mean girls all grow up to be nurses!”

“Mean girls all go into social work!”

“The mean girl to teacher pipeline!”

Y’all, these are just pink collar jobs. The reason you think there’s so many “mean girls” in these fields is because they’re all like 97% women. Of course some of them are gonna be assholes. There’s assholes everywhere.

We get it. Your job isn’t like other girls’ jobs. It’s a cool job.

[onepunchman]

it’s true that there are some incredibly cruel people in all of these professions.

it’s also true that they all suffer from chronic underpayment, overwork, lack of institutional support, and insane bureaucratic demands that would make them fail the people in their care all the time even if every single one was a saint.

[rotationalsymmetry]

That’s absolutely missing the point.

While those are all “helper” professions and they very much are pink collar (and are underpaid, that’s not an incompatible idea), they’re also ones that involve power over vulnerable people’s lives. (And I’ve only encountered it as a comparison to, say, male bullies becoming cops, it’s not like men aren’t being mentioned here.)

Secretaries/administrative assistants aren’t on that list for a reason. Flight attendants aren’t on that list. Housecleaners aren’t on that list. Receptionists. Customer service representatives. Dental hygienists. The people who style hair or do nails. That’s not a list of pink collar jobs. It’s specifically (pink collar) positions where if you want to abuse people you’re relatively likely to get away with it.

It can both be true that “nurses who care for disabled people need better pay” and “nurses who care for disabled people have a lot of opportunities to abuse their power and that’s something worth talking about.”

Women aren’t immune from treating people badly because they’re women, or because women are underpaid. They’re sure not immune from specifically seeking out jobs that will allow them to be cruel without any consequences to them, if they get personal satisfaction out of being cruel.

You are trying to shut down a conversation about abuse.

Can you stop for a moment?

Just stop and think about how far you’ve come. Think about all the times you’ve picked yourself up. Think about all the times you’ve kept going when you weren’t sure you wanted to. Think about how many times you’ve gotten through things that were so unbelievably hard. You’ve done so many things that I bet you don’t give yourself credit for.

I bet you’ve accomplished so much more than you realize. You should be proud of yourself

Also hey btw

The term "masterpiece" originally and traditionally meant a piece of work that an apprentice or other aspiring craftsman created to show off to his master or the town's guild. So naturally, it was intended to be the best fucking thing that you could make, demonstrating just how fucking good you are at what you're making - 100% to flex your skills. And if it was approved, the applicant was accepted as a member of the guild and could now call himself a master, and work in this craft in this city.

So the next time you're looking at The One Great Thing you made and think "this is it, my masterpiece, I have peaked, it's all downhill from here", consider looking it the other way: Making your masterpiece means you're only getting started.

idk how this "prev tags" nonsense got started but i promise you i am not following a breadcrumb trail to find out what those tags were. if they're that funny then share them with the class in a reblog like a normal clown this isn't twitter

[ezhilmozhi]

There are angry Tumblr users screaming their tags were stolen. I have been here for a fricking DECADE and this is the first time I've had to say #notmytags. #notmypost.

This is a big reason for Tumblr reblogs falling. Twitter, instagram users migrants think REBLOGS ARE SAME AS REPOSTING. THAT USING OG TAGS IS STEALING.

[somecunttookmyurl]

wow can't believe i just made this meme and already got to use it twice

[somecunttookmyurl]

we talk in the tags and then the tags go to peer review and if they're deemed Good Content somebody ELSE will put them in a reblog and publish them

replies also go to peer review and get added to the main post if they pass the board

[ellynneversweet]

How could you leave this in the tags, etc.

[somecunttookmyurl]

had to go through peer review. the applicant thanks the board for its approval
