Good lord I am tired.

@awalkingshitpost

a he/they nonbinary disaster lesbian ready and willing to ruin your day. I love my beautiful trans wife. I have DID. Alters will tag accordingly.

Having DID where an alter is 7 is equal parts frustrating and hilarious. "What is this?" At LITERAL porn and getting upset that it's in the stuffies tag and then proceeding to spam my account with ducks. Gotta love her.

List of alters:

Chrissy, she/her, 7

Ezra, they/them, mid twenties

Ry, she/her, 15

Henrietta, unsure on pronouns, 32

All posts from alters will be tagged (i.e. #chrissyposting)

At first Netflix said, come write for us. We’ll save your cancelled shows and write about whatever niche story you want. Our algorithm says people will watch it!

Then a few years later they said, regardless of our promises or contract obligations we are cancelling shows after two seasons without telling anyone. Turns out no matter how loved a show is, we get less subscriptions after the second season.

How many subscriptions did we bring you? Netflix won’t say.

So writers started writing two season shows. Just give us two seasons, Netflix. Like you promised.

Then Netflix said, oops sorry! Turns out your show didn’t premiere at #1 and the views in the first day weren’t what we wanted so we’re cancelling your second season.

What were the numbers? How many people watched our show? Netflix doesn’t say.

Then, they did something extra special. They started taking shows and splitting their first season into two halves. Inside Job was not two seasons. It was one season split in half.

Oops! Sorry! The second half of your first season didn’t do as well as the first half, so now your show is cancelled!

Why? How many people? How much money? These companies are making cash hand over fist and they refuse to tell people the truth: people loved your show. Loved it. But some corpo exec wanted an infinite money making machine. Do you know how long shows are in production for before you watch them? Years. Like, 5+, even 10+ years. And Netflix gives it less than a week before they decide whether you’re getting cancelled.

Note that the context of this GIF is that Zelda suspects the frog in question is psychoactive and is attempting to convince Link to eat it so that she can observe his reaction and determine whether she’s right.

Whether that makes it less romantic or more is left as an exercise for the reader.

no it's romantic. doing experiments on you is one of the main ways that girls show romance

Don't know if this has already been done but...

Include in the tags which character you main I'm really curious to see how this pans out!

I felt like this was a pretty inclusive list and I tried to divide it up across every single game. Just pretend there's a game that includes every Mario Kart Character and have fun with it.

Good for this person. This is exactly what you do. Screw the job.

I had a job that made me work an all nighter, 30 hours straight, over Thanksgiving. I resigned that Monday and it was one of the most satisfying decisions I’ve ever made.

Please pay attention to all the manipulation tactics this boss uses, because they’re pulling out every trick in the book.

  • “I’m not your boss, I’m your friend”
  • “Other people will be hurt by this and it’s your fault and I’m going to tell them all that”
  • Mocking language
  • Jobs are important too
  • “Be a team player”
  • “We’re your family too”
  • Talking as if this is a thing you must do
  • “We all make sacrifices”
  • Undermining your authority
  • “You caused all of this, really”
  • Accusing you of being “unprofessional”
  • “Look at the money you cost us”
  • “Just laugh it off and come back to work”

This is like a 101 course in how employers use guilt trips to coerce you into putting up with their bullshit. This is precisely why you should never trust those employers who insist that they’re “like a family.” They are not. It’s just a ruse so that your boss can neg you into putting your job ahead of your actual life.

“When you’re a trans woman you are made to walk this very fine line, where if you act feminine you are accused of being a parody and if you act masculine, it is seen as a sign of your true male identity. And if you act sweet and demure, you’re accused of reinforcing patriarchal ideas of female passivity, but if you stand up for your own rights and make your voice heard, then you are dismissed as wielding male privilege and entitlement. We trans women are made to teeter on this tightrope, not because we are transsexuals, but because we are women. This is the same double bind that forces teenage girls to negotiate their way between virgin and whore, that forces female politicians and business women to be aggressive without being seen as a bitch, and to be feminine enough not to emasculate their alpha male colleagues, without being so girly as to undermine their own authority.”

Jokes about fat people who need mobility scooters are fatphobic and ableist. Fat disabled people are targeted for scorn and it must stop.

There is NOTHING wrong with needing to use a mobility scooter.

Mobility scooters are not a joke. 

It’s ok to be fat and use a mobility scooter. Or a wheelchair or a cane or any other type of assistive device. 

NB 👏 Does 👏 Not 👏 Mean 👏 Woman 👏 Lite

every single person who uses “nonbinary” as a stand-in for “people i consider to be women” needs to do some work on themselves, no matter their gender, sexuality, or any other marginalization

THE POST OFFICE DOES NOT COST MONEY

IT IS SELF FUNDED

THE. POST. OFFICE. IS. SELF. FUNDED.

THE POST OFFICE IS SELF FUNDED I AM GOING TO KEEP FUCKING SCREAMING THIS UNTIL THE PRIVATIZATION ARGUMENTS CEASE

reblogging this again because it SHOULD cost money we SHOULD be pouring tax dollars into it and sending letters should be FREE and packages should be LOW COST and FAST because we SUBSIDIZE with community money.

I swear to God there's a whole swath of people in the US who will not REST until we're all charged by the minute for the water we drink, the air we breathe, and every blink we take.

Stop coming for the USPS. Not only is it self-funded as mentioned above, but "it's not profitable" should NEVER be an argument against services that support basic needs. We should be working toward making things like public transit, healthcare, utilities, etc. entirely free-to-use via government funding, not arguing to whittle things down for not being Amazon-esque-enough.

The Economist can eat my ass.
