Concept: Depressing dystopian factory where everything is gray and samey and the workers are called by their employee numbers by an ominous deep voice.

But it's a really great place to work with high salaries, excellent benefits, and a flexible working schedule with plenty of paid leave. They just like the dystopian aesthetic.

PA system: Worker 72094. Leave your working station and report to the Supervisor immediately.

Supervisor: Worker 72094. You failed to meet your quota for 3 weeks in a row now.

Worker 72094: I can explain!

Supervisor: You're clearly burned out. I heard you moved recently. Take a mandatory two weeks paid vacation to readjust and report to me then.

Worker 72094: I... thank you?

[charlesoberonn]

Shadowy Board Member: Worker 11335. Do you know why you were summoned?

Worker 11335: Is it because I badmouthed the company during lunch?

Shadowy Board Member: That is correct. We are very displeased, Worker 11335...

Shadowy Board Member: ...with ourselves, that is. We hold ourselves to high standards of excellence which we clearly failed to meet. We were hoping you could advise us on necessary improvements. You will receive appropriate compensation, of course.

Job Interviewer: *wearing a featureless mask and speaking through a voice changer* Welcome to Hopeless Inc., Worker 100100.

Worker 100100: What's with the mask?

Job Interviewer: I'm shy 🤭

[charlesoberonn]

Of course. All Hopeless Inc. employees are due-paying members of Mindless Drones United.

It's a very responsive union that cares about its members on an individual level. They just love the dystopian hivemind aesthetic.

We should be fine as long as we do not reblog bread.

[xikar]

Question.

I’ve rebogged bread.

[doublereversequadrupleagent-blo]

What?

[arthurkingsmen-archive-deactiva]

I have done nothing but reblog bread for the past three days.

[blurry-yeensman]

Where, where have you been sending it?!

[infamouslydorky]

[impiusangelus]

I love how there are more reblogs than likes

[silver-tongues-blog]

This post. This fucking post. I cannot believe after nearly 7 years its still going around. Let alone ON MY OWN DASH! A kid born on the day i posted this would be entering 2nd grade right now.

[omegaversereloaded]

yes, but rarely

no, but i think it's a normal thing for others to do

no, and i think it's an odd but harmless habit

no, and i find it alarming when people do it

i'm sure these options don't cover everything so feel free to add any nuanced thoughts in the tags lol

[omegaversereloaded]

this is something i've been curious about because i've always had full-on conversations with myself out loud since i was about 9. it really helps me organize my thoughts and think things through.

[queermania]

fundamentally i cannot vibe with the posts about feeling left out of the gay ship canon parties because like 1. if you don’t think destiel was canon by the end of the show that’s on you and more importantly 2. the decade plus we got of dean and cas falling in love and persevering through fights and deaths and break ups and make ups and choosing each other and the family they made together over and over and over again is so much better to me???? like congrats on your first or second season canon kiss. ill be over here watching destiel play out every romantic trope known to man in a decade long slow burn that permanently rewired my brain ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[queermania]

what im saying is destiel flew so those other ships could skip a little

[hellenhighwater]

of COURSE there's been an emaciated wild wolf spotted twice today at our campground. Of course.

[hellenhighwater]

The park ranger came around to tell us about this and stuck around to hang out for a while, because we were easily the most chaotic and least troublesome campsite, and she went "I hope you guys aren't offended by this but you seem like the cast of a horror movie," and I gotta say...we've got that energy. Our main camping group consisted of:

a zookeeper

a librarian

a solo traveler/Chinese voice actor

an IT specialist/mechanic

me, a criminal attorney/group-designated Final Girl

She really couldn't figure out how we all knew each other, because we're such a random assortment of people. Which is fair!

We're going to be setting up wolf-watch into the wee hours of the morning and mostly just hanging out by the campfire telling old stories and seeing if we can't collectively solve an embezzlement case.

[hellenhighwater]

We made the ranger guess what each of us did and (in order of appearance) her guesses were:

guy who disappears into the woods every weekend

teacher

they/them (correct)

gamer/car guy

plant and animals person

Which is remarkably spot on; we're recommending she send in an application to the local psychic.

[bippysaurus-rex]

But…. How Do You All Know Each Other? You can’t just drop that kind of information on us without any backstory.

We have needs!

[hellenhighwater]

oh we all used to run a con together

[that1girlarreis]

Like a convention or like a heist? I feel like it could go either way.

[hellenhighwater]

Don't worry about it

[hellenhighwater]

Since we decided to keep the park ranger, I am able to update that the wolf was safely caught and will be relocated. Happy endings!

[gallusrostromegalus]

I am choosing to believe your group is keeping the park ranger in the same way people keep cats they find out in the yard. i.e. in a secure enclosure and extremely spoiled.

Tragedy! You set out to read a negative review of a piece of media you dislike, only to find that the critic is being completely unfair to it and making a bunch of bad, unsupportable arguments.

[quasi-normalcy]

#yeah. this is actually the worst#because if someone likes something for the wrong reasons and you like it too you can just sort of shrug off their opinion#but if they dislike it in a way that's unfair it's actually infuriating because now you've been put in the position#of defending this absolute dogshit piece of media - even if only in your own head - against their unreasonable complaints#it's the exact opposite of catharsis

Honestly the best part of being a barista was charging cops for their drinks. They're so used to getting free shit so it was SOOOOO good for them to pull up to the window and for me to be like "$6.47 :)" and them to make this whole elaborate display of slowly pulling their wallet out and handing their card over bc they weren't expecting to pay. I'd charge you double if I could, oink oink bitch

how could you leave this in the tags

One thing that's likely not visible to all younger queers is that little kids shows have gotten radically queerer in the last 10 years.

I'm not just talking about Owl House, Kippo etc, much as I love them.

I mean like stuff for kindergardners.

Characters in Strawberry Shortcake and Superhero Girls and more have gay parents just unremarkably in the background. That was unthinkable 15 years ago.

But the thing that shocks me utterly is the casual inclusion of nonbinary characters.

Dee and Friends in Oz, Polly Pocket, Craig of the Creek...it seems like half the shows my daughter watches have nonbinary characters just seamlessly included. Not even a Very Special Episode. Just...here's the scarecrow in charge of scarecrow village who uses they/them pronouns that everyone just uses without comment.

I was almost 30 before I found the word nonbinary. For my kid to just grow up with this is astonishing.

Conservatives are so mad because it's INCREDIBLY hard to just put this kind of inclusion back away. Once something is normal, and clearly not causing anything bad to happen, it's hard to convince people to be scared of it.
