There is a level of mad delusion only accessible to syphilitic inbred European monarchs and upper middle class Americans trying to start a small business.

Hey since you’re a trans /man/ i don’t think it’s very appropriate for you to reclaim “bitch” anymore. You should find other language to use instead
actually elton john told me i could reclaim it.
@who-canceled-roger-rabbit i am fully in love w u
statistically someone will end up being The Last Shopper In Target At Closing Time, so here’s some little reminders in case someday that person is you
- yes, the employees are tired and would like you to leave so they can close the store and go home
- if you are a normal human about it and treat the employees like they are humans, you will all be okay
- when the “The Store Is Now Closed” announcement is read, it is absolutely no-exceptions time to stop shopping and head up to the front. there were 3-4 other announcements preceding that one.
- any staff still on the floor will probably call on their walkie-talkies that they see you, some identifiable piece of clothing (grey jacket, green hat, etc), and the direction you are going.
- you do not have to self-flagellate your apology, a friendly “i’m so sorry, i’m ready to go now!” is enough
- if you realize at checkout that you forgot something, do the following calculation:
- if you can live without it until tomorrow morning, just finish the transaction and deal with it tomorrow
- if you can’t live without it for the next ten hours (baby formula. tampons. i get it) PLEASE tell the person helping you, or one of the half-dozen other front-of-store staff waiting to close the lanes. it is likely someone will RUN to get the thing for you. we want you to get your shit and leave!
and most importantly of all:
- getting belligerent, screaming, cursing out the front end managers and staff, and otherwise making a problem of yourself will get you absolutely nowhere except kicked out, potentially without any of the stuff you wanted.
fuck it. ralph bakshi gandalf big naturals
ID: six screenshots from Ralph Bakshi's "The Lord of the Rings," featuring the wizard gandalf. His beard has been shortened to reveal large breasts, complimented by a teal-colored dress with a low neckline. From the first to fifth image, in order, he is shown talking with Frodo Baggins, descending a staircase, holding the One Ring, smiling neutrally, and wielding a sword and his staff. In the last image, he is throwing off his grey robes, revealing a white robe over a lacey bralette and long white skirt. End ID.

HarperCollins Strike Update
For the full breakdown of what’s been going on since November, read here.
January 20, 2023
It’s been over FIFTY days. The strike is still ongoing. Harper has yet to even speak to the union.
Union members are still scraping on their second and third hustles (which most entry-level publishing people have) and donations to the strike fund. The union has set up a hardship fund (here’s the post about it on their official Instagram, for verification) so no more fiddling with checks or Venmo.
If you can donate, please do.
And whether you can or can’t, please do still share.
Reminder that big publishers have seen record profits in the last few years. None of these have trickled down the the editors, marketing, design, legal, and more that are essential to getting a book published.
The strikers are asking for three main things - better pay, a bigger commitment to diversity, and more security for the union. That they’ve been striking for this long and can’t even get that shows widespread problems in the traditional publishing industry.
Please support and boost where you can. Everyone involved in getting you your favorite books deserves a fair wage and better job security.
happy new year!
