WHAT THE FUCK IT’S CHRISTMAS EVE WHY DID SOMEONE REBLOG THIS

TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!

MERRY HALLOW’S EVE

JINGLE BONE, JINGLE BONE ROCK

full offense but it’s okay for girls to be into weird shit even if they’re not conventionally attractive lol

My current employer once said to me, “I get the impression you work to live, not live to work.” Uh, yeah motherfucker.

me after reading this:

A boss once sat me down and said, I swear to fuck, that it was a bad thing that I was interested in leaving work on time. Like he said something like “I’m told that you like going home at the end of the day.”

I asked him what I meant. Like I point blank said “Are you saying I don’t work enough overtime?”

“…no,” he said, since we got in trouble if we worked OT. It was treated as a moral failing on our parts.

“So are you saying I should be working for free?” I asked. This is a trap question. It was a corporate job. Which meant he actually was limited in the shit he could pull.

“….no,” he grudgingly replied.

“So what is the problem?” I asked. And he had to admit that, technically, I had done nothing wrong.

But he tried to guilt me over LIKING TO GO HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY. After each 8-10 hour shift where I was allowed ZERO breaks, despite the law requiring I get a minimum of 15 minutes every 4 hours.

He also got pissed off that I was very open with telling people I had given my notice. I didn’t bad mouth the place. I wasn’t negative. I was just open that, yes, I was moving and had therefor quit.

GEE I FUCKING WONDER WHY I WAS SO EXCITED TO BE LEAVING.

Anyone who’s foolish enough to tell me that working is a privilege I should “live” for ought to be drawn and quartered.

I’m dead serious; people are dropping dead like flies because of overwork. 

This is why we NEED labor laws, people. 

This is why we NEED labour unions and organized labour.

The audacity of feeling like your employees owe you time you refuse to pay them for…

“I’m told that you like going home at the end of the day” BITCH, DON’T YOU? And if not, WHY NOT?

Health Care is a Human Right.

Got some more alligator ASMR for y’all- crank up the volume for prehistoric chills

lol this weird ass bird

Squat

And

Okay but after seeing this I started doing it too and it’s amazing how many men I’ve run into bc they expected me to move

Gotta try it

I work (and walk) on a college campus. I’ve lost count of how many men I’ve smacked shoulders with.

Recently, I was standing outside my son’s classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didn’t; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadn’t leapt out of his manly path.

Now I’m wishing I’d leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, “My Liege!”

I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.

Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where I’m the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.

Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friend’s medication, and I didn’t understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literally—one guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because that’s just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.

I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought I’d had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.

I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I “looked like a soldier.” I’m not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.

Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

WALK LIKE YOU’VE BEEN SENT TO MURDER CAPTAIN AMERICA

It’s called the Murder Strut.

IT’S BACK!!!!!! I was searching for this to show my daughter the other day and couldn’t find it. I’m so glad IT’S BACK!! I will always reblog the Murder Strut!!

A guy on a bike went around me because he could tell I had no intention of moving. Thanks to this post.

One day and I bumped into a guy while doing the Murder Strut and he apologized to me even though I was the one who had bumped into him.

It works wonders.

In case you were wondering, yes you can do this in a wheelchair. Same look in your eyes and let ‘em know you will run them down. Just picture yourself in a sports car accelerating towards someone with the intention of flattening them.

If there’s anything more satisfying than watching Abled men leap out of my way when they realize I’m not moving for them, I can’t think of it atm.

Walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

Wheel like you’re gonna win the Indy 500 and don’t care how.

Your crutches are short swords; walk like you can see them buried in the bodies of anyone who crosses (in front of) you.

I had never seen these updates to the Patriarchy Chicken Game before and they are all a goddam DELIGHT

@phoenixonwheels what the hell kind of asshole expects someone in a wheelchair to circle around them???

Almost everyone. I shit you not.

when you have a sudden realization about something that was supposed to have been obvious from the start

people talk all the time about “primal instincts” and it’s usually about violence or sexual temptations or something, but your humanity comes with a lot of different stuff that we do without really thinking about, that we do without being told to or prompted to

your average human comes pre-installed with instincts to:

we are chalk full of survival instincts that revolve around connecting to others (dog-shaped others, robot-shaped, sometimes even plant-shaped) and making things with our hands

your primal instincts are not bathed in blood- they are layered in people telling stories to each other around a fire over and over and putting devices together through trial and error over and over and reaching for someone and something every moment of the way

My god this is beautiful. Such a refreshing change of pace to the constant glorification of instinctual human violence.

Candy-eating French Bees - Bees in France eating sugar from a nearby M&M factory began producing blue honey

I’m begging some of y’all to google things. This is actually a really, really neat thing that’s happening and it’s being discredited just because folks don’t wanna take literally two seconds to use a search engine.

I found a Time Magazine article literally as the first result when I googled it. And there are loads of other sources too, including Reuter’s.

Here is the Time Magazine article if anyone is interested.

So I remembered reading something about the honey having to be trashed after this incident. When I grepped for sources, all I could find was “they threw it out because reasons”. I had had the impression that they threw it out because it was toxic, but I can’t find a source for that. But anyway, yeah, the general consensus was that this was very bad for the bees involved.

If you have no sources that this was bad for the bees, do not spread informations with articules that don’t support that clause. They threw the honey out because it was BLUE. It may be news to you but most people aren’t going to eat blue honey, let alone blue honey made from m&m’s being thrown away. 1+1=2. Stop spreading misinformation.

It isn’t misinformation. The articles linked mentioned that it’s not great, and if you fucking google the thing - like one of the posts above is begging you to - you come across a very clear reason why it’s bad:

“The fact that the bees are resorting to artificial sources of sugar at all is worrisome. “When bees go to non-floral sources, it is a sign that the environment is short of resources, ” says Toni Burnham, vice president of the Maryland State Beekeepers Association and a columnist for Urban Beekeeping. Occasionally, a hive will die when bees bring something home that seems sweet but is actually toxic, like improperly stored antifreeze.”

In short, FOH with your antagonistic crap.
