booktok videos should be categorized as some sort of threat to public health

If a worker who isn't the owner says ANYTHING similar to "I'm not really supposed to do this but-" and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.

Employee-customer solidarity

Even if they don't- Your review can be the thing that wrecks someone up accidentally;

"Janie was so helpful when I wanted to buy a new washing machine on Friday, she stayed with me for half an hour and wasn't pushy at all, we had a good laugh about our cats' silly antics and she got Adam and Suzy to carry it to the car for me- 10/10 excellent service, I'd come back any day!"

-But Management has a policy that workers should spend no more than 10 focused minutes on any customer at a time, and that they should always try to upsell the insurance and the higher price model, so Janie was breaking policy.

-And they aren't supposed to have their phones on the sales floor, so now Janie is going to be quizzed on whether she was showing photos of her cat to a customer.

-Adam is a warehouse worker and shouldn't have been in the front-of-house at all, Suzy is a porter, and store policy is both to use a trolley to move heavy items, and that only the porters should do it, so now Janie is in trouble for pulling Adam off-task, Adam is in trouble for walking through the shop floor, and Suzy is in trouble for poor handling procedure. Maybe the store even has a paid delivery service that Janie was supposed to upsell as soon as you said "I can't put this in my car without help", so this was all against policy.

Your review should always be as bland as possible, "10/10, five star service, will shop here again, thank you to Janie at the Town Street branch" You NEVER know what was technically a rule-break, capitalism is not your friend, the review process is part of the panopticon.

FIVE STARS, TEN OUT OF TEN, VERY GOOD, NOTHING MORE.

a great thing about people transitioning is it presents us with scenarios where we have the perfect control variable to undeniably reveal sexism in the workplace. I read about a trans man neuroscientist who was told he was “so much smarter than his sister” (his sister being his pre-transition self)

and damn i knew the gaming industry was notoriously sexist (even more sexist than other stem fields, and that’s saying a lot) but seeing it laid out so clearly like this is so demoralizing.

Ben Barres was that neuroscientist

Barres has been discussed a lot by my peers, and is generally considered an icon for people like me. And his biting statements on sexism are a HUGE part of that. I don’t have much to say other than yes, it’s a big problem and still is.

Hello, humiliation fetishists? Just wanna let you know your fetish is so normal and there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

so i have this friend who, every time a new Oh Joy Sex Toy comic would come out, he would make a point to rant about it. like clockwork. did not matter the topic, he'd find something about it to shit on. and like i get that not everyone is into their style or their casual tone or whatever and certainly the creators themselves are sometimes kinda annoying. but even if I'm not into them i always felt like the OJST comics were generally harmless at worst and unilaterally good at best, cuz they demystify sex and help to teach and normalize a bunch of queer and kink stuff that has largely been taboo or demonized. helping people feel less ashamed of sex and sexuality. thats cool. but this guy, he hated that. he felt like their comics were HARMING sex and especially UNDERMINING queer sexuality. "they're taking the magic out of it" he says. and i could not figure out what his deal was. until one day when replying to him, it dawned on me. i was like Dude you just have a shame fetish and you've been inserting that fetish into all your sex. and you think that making sex less shameful is bad for sex because you approach all sex through this fetish of yours. and he uh. he did not realize that other people dont feel ashamed about sex at all. he thought shame was integral to sex. so yeah i'm the joker baby

You’ve always been the joker tbh

(post from 2018 i still think about sometimes)

A dating service where matching is based on people’s search history exists. You’re a serial killer. You go on a date with a writer.

Serial Killer: metaphorically, if you were to kill someone, how would you do it?

Writer: Air shot between the toes, it’ll look like a heart attack.

Serial Killer who is obviously in love already: *sucks in a breath* ok

Writer: how long would it take to die if you were to potentially stab someone in the guts

Serial killer: anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes

Writer, already bringing a ring out: *shaking* thanks

A++ addition

Writer: *shows the serial killer the murder scene they’re writing* babe, i’m not sure if this would actually work?

Serial killer: *kisses writer on the forehead and leaves, comes back later, a suspicious scent of blood coming off them* it works baby, you’re doing great

I LOVE THIS

Oh no, murder comedy is my jam

I’m cackling at how wholesome this is

I love this my gods
