If you work or worked in retail  and been screamed at by a customer, like/reblog this post

If you’ve dealt with physical assault or threats to you or someone you know dealt by a customer, reblog this. If you feel like being specific add it in the tags or replies. I’m also curious to know if the police were called on the customer or if the situation was defused otherwise.

Trying to prove a point to someone who thinks “Who screams at cashiers?” and that cops come to the rescue of abused retail workers.

ICE made a decision to order all international students whose universities are online to leave the country or risk facing immigration consequences and getting deported which essentially means that students will have to decide between leaving the US or risk their health. many countries don’t even have their borders open and some people may not even have places to go so please sign this petition which requests that international students get the option to finish their degrees and remain in the USA

[sammyblep]

this is an official whitehouse.gov petition - americans, PLEASE sign this and don't let our country's obsession with deportation ruin even more lives

Just found out about this game today and I'm already enthralled by it. Amazing artwork, story, And music. These are truly talented people that deserve much more recognition.

Elizabethan Peasant 2: Verily, and to compose as well.

Elizabethan Peasant 1: With haste, then, how is the word “i cup” composed?

Elizabethan Peasant 1: what ho, I know a sporting jest! What art thou when thou art a peasant and art occupied in a privy?

Elizabethan Peasant 2: I wist not, but certain am I that thou shalt tell me speedily.

The therapist I wanna be.

[positivelyqueerace]

Text in the image:

“I’m a therapist and keep this poster in my waiting room, apparently it’s saved a few lives.”

I don’t like the phrase “a cry for help.” I just don’t like how it sounds. When somebody says to me, “I’m thinking about suicide. I have a plan: I just need a reason not to do it,” the last thing I see is helplessness.

I think your depression has been beating you up for years. It’s called you ugly, and stupid, and pathetic, and a failure, for so long that you’ve forgotten that it’s wrong. You don’t see any good in yourself, and you don’t have any hope.

But still here you are: you’ve come over to me, banged on my door and said, “HEY! Staying alive is REALLY HARD right now! Just give me something to fight with! I don’t care if it’s a stick! Give me a stick and I can stay alive!”

How is that helpless? I think that’s incredible. You’re like a marine: trapped for years behind enemy lines. Your gun has been taken away, you’re out of ammo, you’re malnourished, and you’ve probably caught some kind of jungle virus that’s making you hallucinate giant spiders.

And you’re still just going, “GIVE ME A STICK. I’M NOT DYING OUT HERE.” “A cry for help” makes it sound like I’m supposed to take pity on you, but you don’t need my pity. This isn’t pathetic. This is the will to survive. This is how humans lived long enough to become the dominant species.

With NO hope, running on NOTHING, you’re ready to cut through a hundred miles of hostile jungle with nothing but a stick, if that’s what it takes to get to safety.

All I’m doing is handing out sticks.

You’re the one saying alive.

[ultimate-science-nerd]

I legit cried at this. I’ve needed to hear it put this way. Bless this post.

[tea-rabbits]

Every time I see this post I stop to read the whole image. It always helps — even on the good days.

Because it wasn’t weakness. It wasn’t shameful to seek help. It wasn’t pathetic to “cry for help”. I was looking for a stick, be that from myself or from someone else. I was trying to find a way out. I was trying to heal myself.

[aurora-nerin]

this is fuckin incredible. 

[irondad-not-ironsad]

I’m sorry if I repost to many of these, but if it could be someone’s “stick” then it’s worth it

How come period pieces are almost always dramas, anyway? I want to watch a sitcom about a dude in renaissance-era Tuscany trying to get rich quick by scamming the local merchant princes.

[lastvalyrian]

Sitcom about a dude in Bronze Age Mesopotamia trying to get rich quick by scamming people with sub par copper

[teashoesandhair]

*cracks knuckles* well:

Upstart Crow - comedy about Shakespeare, starring David Mitchell in a truly unflattering wig. Inaccurate as shit and also great.

Horrible Histories… OBVIOUSLY. I am sick of seeing people recommend Drunk History when Horrible Histories is right there, doing the Lord’s work. Watch this and tell me I’m wrong.

Blackadder - I 100% do not need to introduce Blackadder, because it’s Blackadder, but it’s Rowan Atkinson of Mr Bean fame being terrible and hilarious in many different time periods, and it includes Hugh Laurie as an Elizabethan dandy, so get on that immediately. Final series (set in WW1) ends with an actually heartbreaking scene that will ruin you spiritually. Love 2 laugh.

Plebs - sitcom about Roman peasants! Hilarious! They are, indeed, plebs who really just want to get girlfriends and have a nice time! Also there’s grain!

Quacks - legitimately ridiculously funny sitcom about Victorian doctors, starring many of the Horrible Histories cast. I would die for Mathew Baynton always, but especially in this. It was cancelled after season 1, which is despicable, but it’s still great. See for yourself!

Bill - a comedy film about Shakespeare, again by the Horrible Histories crew. It’s incredibly inaccurate and Shakespeare would have thoroughly approved.

I mean, I have to mention Monty Python’s Holy Grail (Arthurian japes) and Life of Brian, right? Like I’m contractually obliged to mention those? Good, because Life of Brian in particular is a fucking delight (follows a man who keeps getting mistaken for the Messiah when the real Jesus is RIGHT THERE, ACTUALLY, LEAVE BRIAN ALONE).

Another Period - a parody of Keeping Up With the Kardashians set in early 1900s Rhode Island. Weird as fuck, mostly because of how accurate it is.

The Madness of King George - a comedy drama, really, but Rupert Everett is hilarious in it. About King George III of England, who suffered from bouts of unexplained madness. Less devastating than it sounds, but also a bit devastating in parts.

‘Allo ‘Allo - a bit dated and definitely, erm, of its time (namely the early 80s-90s) but it’s set in WW2 and follows members of the French Resistance, some more willing than others. It has hilarious lines, but you do sort of have to watch with the acknowledgement that a lot of it is beyond the pale today. Mostly the sexist jokes.

The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff - Dickens parody set in Victorian England. Stars every British actor ever. Imagine a Dickens novel which knew it was ridiculous, and that’s this.

There are probably 900 more but I am merely one human and can only consume so much media, alas

pirates: mostly men, allowed gay marriage, attack sailors

mermaids: mostly women, not usually interested in men, attack sailors

conclusion: pirates and mermaids are sea mlm/wlw solidarity

Holy shit! :O A Christian! I almost never see those folk around anymore.

[xxtc-96xx]

I usually try to keep religious stuff off my dash, dangerous waters and all, but as a Christian myself man this feels good, for once I see a Christian related thing where I don’t have to say “I swear we aren’t all like this!”

we should take the “does it spark joy?” question to social media. go through your facebook, remove friends that do not spark joy, go through instagram and unfollow people and pages that do not spark joy. don’t surround yourself with things that don’t make you happy.

straight boys are weak and pathetic, queer girls walk into the ladies changing room and see ten women naked, do they stare? do they say something inappropriate? do they make them uncomfortable? no because they have the common fucking sense to recognise when a situation is sexual and that people deserve the most basic level of respect to not be harassed, yet here we are banning shorts and low cut tops in school because straight boys are weak and pathetic

[floozys-deactivated20180908]

okay i made this post this morning and it has since had eighty two thousand notes, it’s been featured on reddit, facebook, twitter i’ve been sent multiple death threats and messages that i don’t even want to describe 

and i have to apologise

i’ve seen the error of my ways

straight boys are not ’weak and pathetic’ 

straight boys are weak, pathetic and fucking annoying

Why are they deactivated?

[princess-of-positivity]

Stop guilt tripping people into reblogging your posts. No one has to reblog it; they’re not a bad person for choosing to reblog your aesthetic posts over your other posts that have to do with war and tragedy. Many of us are on tumblr to get away from seeing that stuff everywhere; many of us get anxiety attacks when we see it. It takes a toll on your mental health. Maybe they don’t reblog it on here, but they share it and talk about it outside of tumblr. Maybe tumblr is their happy place.

You don’t know the reason why someone doesn’t want to reblog something like that.

To my followers: you don’t ever have to reblog a post. Period. No matter how manipulative it may seem, you are never obligated to reblog it.

While out shopping at Ikea, the grim reaper appears. You ask to challenge for your life, and they agree - your task: escape from Ikea in under an hour without adding anything to your cart.

Protagonist's best friend: "Why am I friends with this idiot again???"

Protagonist: *smiles at their best friend.*
