How much does a box of paper weigh?

Oh …

belle-tane

I love how all these reblogs from ableds are like “boxes of paper are 20 pounds GOTCHA” as if every single person in a 60-person workplace needs to be able to lift a box of paper.

“What’s that, James? You tore your rotator cuff? Sorry, we have to let you go. What if the printer needed to be refilled and the other 200 people in this building were home sick? It just wouldn’t be fair.”

I deserve more intellectually challenging low-effort justifications for bigotry. Please try harder next time. 1/10.

hi! i’m a secretary with a lifelong congenital back issue that i had fixed via surgery.

the first thing i want to point out is that the box of paper that @bransrath posted is not the weight of the box. the 20 lb in that description is the paper weight, which is the amount of force a piece of paper can take before tearing. i know this because it’s described as copy paper, and copy paper is by default 20 lb weight. so posting that picture as a ‘gotcha’ in response to this post is ignorant at best and intentionally ableist at worst. in reality, that box probably weighs no more than 15 lbs.

secondly, i have never had to actually pick up one of these boxes ever. and i have to deal with them a lot, given that i’m a secretary who, prior to the pandemic, was printing off 1000+ pages of booklets per week. i’ve never had to pick these up because you can literally just open them, grab a ream of paper, and take it to the printer to load it in. there’s no fucking reason why you would need the whole box. most places, like my office, also store them on or near the ground because they’re heavy, so what i do is a just drag the boxes to their designated corner until they need to be used.

so “must be able to lift 20 lbs” is a tactic of discrimination, and there’s no excuse for it in office jobs like mine. i can’t actually lift more than 15 lbs and chances are, i’ll never be able to lift more than 20 lbs. i can still do all the duties of my secretary job, though, and it’s really easy to find work arounds for things like heavy boxes of paper. even i can, and my office literally employs 3 people including me. a weight limit is not a reason to deny someone a job.

He was an activist who inspired millions to fight for their rights. He knew what was wrong with our country and risked his life to help his people achieve equality. In the society where black were treated like animal he did everything possible to change this. His brave soul, his will and courage changed the history of America , changed the people. He made us believe we can win this war. He payed for it with his life. He will always be remembered.

Respecting his memory also means acknowledging that his fight is far from over, black people are facing the same issues that ha birth to the Black Panthers, and that the FBI is basically trying to launch COINTELPRO 2.0 against BLM and other black activists. Hampton should be more than a history lesson, he should be a rallying point.

everyone else on fb and instagram: hi guys just turned in my final thesis here is a look at the cover page 🥰🥰 hard work but worth it

me emailing my professor my finished draft:

Crabs amaze me. They’re the perfect life form, a tank made of legs and living hate-armor. It’s not just about their physicality, though; it’s the soul of the crab. See, no crab in the bottomless history of the sea has ever questioned itself, doubted itself, worried, or been afraid. A crab is pure motion. A crab is pure id and unrelenting forward force. Crabs invented the word violence and they will scuttle on the surface of the world while the red giant of Sol creeps closer to devour everywhere we’ve ever known. They will look into the sky and clack their claws and there will be no fear.

Excuse me how the fuck did you create the perfect illustration for what I was trying to express

Anyways for the kids who are getting themselves really riled up abt this pr*defall stuff:

4ch.an does this like every year and to anyone who’s been in the community for a while it’s old news. They’ve called it by various names but it’s the same shit. It generally just boils down to a few incels posting somewhat vulgar shit in the pride tags for a day or two and then getting bored/banned and stopping.

If you’re really concerned, maybe private your blog/turn off your ask boxes and submissions and avoid tags for a few days, but don’t send yourselves into a panic attack over it. There’s a reason older folks aren’t as bothered as you guys are. This is practically a routine occurrence by now.

The main goal of it isn’t even usually to actually post things. It’s to make sure that their post about it travels about a shit ton so they can watch a bunch of kids get anxious about it. Pls don’t stress yourselves out over it.

HOW can you not show the picture of abby

My problem is less with the language and more with the possibility they are overfeeding their animals

sqoks-aesthetics

love the fact tumblr has no awareness for obese animals not being healthy at all and allowing an animal to be Like That is straight up abuse lmao

therestlessforest

*sigh* all you had to do was scroll up a little and all this rage could have been avoided

sepialunaris

Lmao imagine thinking an organization as reputable and pro conservation as Monterey Bay Aquarium would overfeed their animals

ctxrover

Lmao imagine thinking that all animals that have fat on them are obese, overweight and unhealthy rather than some animals just being like that i.e. walruses, seals, etc. because they have to be fat and have blubber because it protects them from the harsh and freezing environments that they live in.

ixiagrey

Next up, Tumblr attacks bears for eating too much in the fall.

fatsexybitch

They do that every year during the fat bear contest, keep up

Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare.

jumpingjacktrash

the reason it’s rare is because without chlorophyll, the plant can’t get energy, and dies shortly after sprouting unless it has some other source of food. so if you see a plant as big as the one in the picture that doesn’t have any green in its leaves, it’s getting its nutrition from the roots of a neighboring plant of the same species, feeding on the sugars created by the other plant’s photosynthesis.

albino plants are basically vampires.

heywetotheotherworld

For a long time, scientists thought they were parasites, and couldn’t figure out why the bigger plants didn’t release chemicals to kill them.

Turns out, the lil’ ghost redwoods benefit their hosts by filtering toxins and acting as a sort of backup immune system.

They’re vampires, and they’re commensal, symbiotic mutualists!

this is super cool! I had no idea

Glad awareness is being spread on this, bc male bystanders need to know this and start standing up. A child or young woman’s safety shouldn’t depend on the presence of other women

(the casting in tma is so fucking funny like I'm really trying to imagine these conversations)

Jonny Sims: Okay, Alex, yes you, my coworker and good friend, the person who brought me on to rusty quill to do this show because you liked my idea. Would you like to be in my show.

Alexander J Newall: I mean I kind of assumed I would, who will I be?

Jonny Sims: My boyfriend. Now, I need to find someone to play my ex-girlfriend that I parted with on bad terms and is very angry at me at the end of season 4. Hmmmmm....... Oh I got it! Oh my darling wife! My darling wife that I love, would you like to be in my show??

tweetsongs

it’s even funnier when you think about jonmartin not being considered as a mutual canonical thing until later on, so it’s more like:

jonny: so alex, you’re going to be playing my subordinate, who has an unrequited crush on me, sounds good?

alex: not the weirdest pitch i’ve gotten

*an unspecified amount of time later*

jonny: i think this isn’t working out, we might have to tweak some things

alex: like what?

jonny: i think i’m going to fall deeply in love with you

Jonny: Mum, I've got the PERFECT role for you, wanna play a badass, morally ambiguous granny who blows up eldritch rituals?

Also Jonny: Dad I can you voice an old guy who basically lives in the basement? He'll get brutally beaten to death with a pipe.

badgerhat

And all of your names will be in the show, but not as any of the characters you're playing
