This sounds like something from The Handmaid’s Tale, ffs.

This was an ad in the early 90's. I first saw it in a textbook in the late 90's, used as an example of the "slippery slope" fallacy.

Now it's over 20 years later. It's happening.

Maybe - Eddie Munson

“There’s no way you’re old enough to know or like the Grateful Dead,” The deep  voice shakes you from your scrolling. 

To be fair, a customer hasn’t come in in almost 45 minutes, leaving you with no more counters to rescrub, and cups to restock. So, yes, you’ve been scrolling. 

“I know you’re not about to quiz me,” you joke back to the man in front of you. He must be at least in his mid 30s, his long curly hair accompanied by tattoos all across his arms. You’ve never seen him in the small coffee shop before, which is weird considering you know just about everyone in this town, but you can already tell he’s a joker.

What you don’t expect is the way his smirk makes your cheeks get hot. 

“Alright alright, no quizzes…today,” he smiles, glancing over the menu. You pretend to make yourself busy pulling a shot of espresso, trying not to look at the way he bites his lip while he’s focusing.

His eyes look up to meet yours, knowingly. “I’ll just have an iced Americano.”

You nod. “Small or large?”

“Large.”

You chuckle. “What?” He asks, a playful glint in his eyes. You try to bite your tongue, you really really do, you shouldn’t be flirting with this man.

But you’re a barista, and honestly, it’s part of the job. “Nothin,” you say, eyebrows raised as you pull up his total on the small screen in front of him. 

He taps his card to the screen without even looking. His eye contact with you only falters as he scans over your body. “No no, let me in on the little joke,” he taunts.

You move over to the espresso machine, and there’s no way he’s not looking at your ass. You’re so lucky there’s no one else here.

I think this is your first full length fic since everything you were going through right? You did so good. This was amazing❤👏. I'm proud you mama.

THE WRITER AND ACTOR’S STRIKES HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PAUSED THE PRODUCTION OF 4 MARVEL MOVIES!!!! thank you striking creatives.

Elliot Page has the chance to do the single funniest thing in the history of Hollywood.

I am a BIG fan of all the workers fighting to unionize, fighting for better conditions and pay, striking, and standing in solidarity this summer.

May this rising sea work to lift all boats and, remember, don’t be a scab!

Solidarity Summer is well and truly ramping up. AS IT FUCKING SHOULD.

And another one! 📢

Barnes and Noble booksellers are working on forming a union as well! 

https://www.reddit.com/r/union/comments/rwczci/barnes_noble_workers_want_union/

Their flagship store and New York has unionized along with 3-4 other stores! This is happening! People are tired of being seen as dollar signs and being made to work just to get to work more, to survive instead of thrive. Keep it UP. 

let’s be honest this is the girl dinner

Rise of the Pink Ladies was nominated for choreography Emmy this week. You cannot legally watch an Emmy-nominated show because god forbid the studio has to pay workers for it—that’s the state of the industry with streaming right now. That’s why SAG and the WGA are striking.

i could be your loser boyfriend. do you ever think about that

Special thanks to my friend and meme genius @scarlet-willow for being a great bad influence on me xD
