Equal parts master, of both class and disaster🦄🌼🌹🌸🌺🌻

Okay so the CW owns Supernatural, but if they sold it for a profit(which I guess they need because they're bankrupt) then another streaming service could make a gayer ending, soley for the fans. Because whats the fuck, I haven't even watched it but because I have social medial I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. So maybe they could gay up the ending so Destiel could idk die together or whatever happens

I mad cupcakes and brought them to work last night on my baking sheet because its the only thing big enough and I FORGOT THE BAKING SHEET IN THE LOCKER ROOM🙃 WE ONLY HAVE ONE I DON'T THINK IT'LL BE AN ISSUE BUT HOW DO I ALWAYS DO THIS?????

I just realized all I watch on Instagram is shiny beautiful glitter eyeshadow application videos, nail tutorials, and shiny beautiful dresses videos. Not pictures of friends and love ones no, no, no. Just the things that attract my shiny crow brain. Its the person whos actually controlling me on the inside.

For Valentines Day my boyfriend and I went to the restaurant we went to 3 years ago for our first Valentines Day together, where he asked me to be his girlfriend, and they sat us at the SAME TABLE AS 3 YEARS AGO! It was so cute we just kept walking and I was thinking "oh this is the room we went to on that date. Oh this is the same side" and then they sat the menus down and I was internally screaming "THIS IS THE SAME TABLE OMFG IT IS FATE!" Just a cute little story😊💕

Omfg Snape is like Mr. Darcy if, she said she still didn't love him, and if Snape had the balls to ever change for another human WHILE THEY WERE ACTUALLY ALIVE

I wonder how many times I've avoided harm by just deciding, even passively, to stay doing what I was doing. How many times have I decided to watch another episode before I go walk my dog, even tho it still twinges my guts to make her wait, and avoided a stray male who thinks I won't fight to the death for my own life? How many times have I sat in my car at the back of the parking lot at work, because thats where we're told to park even tho we walk in at night and leave before first light since daylight savings, and been moments behind my own flattened brain splattered on car and pavement, not even clocked in yet. How many times has my being with just one other person on a night out been the straw that broke the predators back when selecting their new play thing, to stalk, or harass, or follow silently into broad daylight. Even now I'm wondering about when I hit post and unlock the door after checking the peep hole beforehand, will they hear me coming and duck? Will I hear the movement over my single headphone in and at half volume? Will Nate hear me scream in the lobby, will I have a chance to scream, to fight? Or will it immediately no longer be my problem ever again to hope for my own safety? What if you reading my post puts you in danger, makes you wait too long? OR what if you finish and realize you just missed the order time for your favorite restaurant, but theres an E Coli outbreak or a Doordash driver that becomes too interested in you living alone obviously ordering food for one? I'm sick of being conscious in and of, such a volatile and equally restless universe. What a world, that I can only experience through one headphone at a time because using 2 would show it how vulnerable I'm willing to make myself, but the truth is I'm not vulnerable, I'm volatile too, I am fucking pissed off. And anything trying to derail my progress in my path, the universe included, will never take me down without a chunk of it going down with me between my cold dead lips.

Oliver then proceeded to detail how with $50 and knowledge of the law he was able to successfully apply online to create a debt buying company named “Central Asset Recovery Professionals,” or as Oliver put it, “CARP” named after “a bottom-feeding fish.”

After setting up a rudimentary website for CARP, the satirical, but still real company was offered a $15 million package of medical debt for $60,000.

Oliver explained that the debt was out of statute, which means it is the kind of debt that a collector can only continue to collect, but not sue the debtor for.

Then, instead of chasing down the 9,000 debtors in the debt package as a normal collection agency would, Oliver decided to stage the largest one-time giveaway in television history and work with the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt to forgive the $15 million with no consequences for the debtors.

Okay but now I know what I want to do of I get rich?

You dont have to be rich to do a bit of this actually

RIP Medical Debt is a charity (and therefore takes donations). They buy the rights to medical debt and then forgive them. So far they’ve forgiven over 1B in medical debt.

So a little ray of hope for someone out there today.

Hospitals are struggling for nurses right now because people are leaving the profession entirely or leaving for temporary travel contract positions that pay well. They have been treated poorly, underpaid for the work they do, and inadequately protected this year, and they’re done.

My brother in law said they’re advertising for a position in his normal unit, offering twice his salary. But they won’t offer him extra to stay after risking his life working in the COVID unit for months, so he’s out. It’s absolutely insulting, and so many industries are going to have a major reckoning coming up.

My father retired early because they refused to hire just one person to help with the work load. They had to hire 5 people to replace him.

This is a common occurrence amongst his retired coffee group.

One lady was a head nurse that ran two floor at her hospital. They wanted her to take on more work. She agreed to do so oy if they gave her a small raise and hired an assistant for her. They refused so she retired early. They had to replace her with 20 people.

You are NOT replaceable!!! They tell you this to make you complacent to their exploration of you.

Fun fact! This sort of reckoning happened after the Black Plague, also! I'm no historian, (and history side of tumblr, please come in with the accuracy) but I did look into the history of the Black Plague for writing purposes, and in that case, it was because there were so few people left that peasants started agitating for better treatment and fairer wages, and because there were so few people who could do the work they had been doing that they were able to gain better wages and better hours. Historically, the labour shortage created by pandemics means a heightened bargaining capacity for workers of all sorts - an if there was ever a time to take advantage of knowing history, it's now. Because the thing is, in these "unprecedented times" there are precedents, and the precedent leans toward workers. During the Black Death, villages emptied, fields were left, and people migrated to find work that paid them better and offered a better way of life. Wages for lower-class workers rose drastically. In Oxfordshire; a plowman who had earned two shillings per week before the plague could command 10 shillings per week afterward. Pay rates for artisans increased, too. In Paris, wages for masons quadrupled between 1351 and 1355.

This isn't to say that the elites just let this happen, either. Laws were passed to limit wage increases, and threats were made, but the workers had economic bargaining power on their side. Labour was in such short supply that employers and landlords had to take what they could get. The people held out - and so can (and should!) YOU.

This was the start of peasant revolts, popular rebellions, and - ultimately, more labour protections, political representation for the lower classes, lower taxes, and an end to serfdom. People could afford to own their own land, the feudal system vanished, and eventually, the Renaissance would rise. In these unprecedented times, there is a precedent, and that precedent is that when workers know their worth, agitate for better and for more, when they hold out and unite, they force the elites to loosen the reigns, giving more power, autonomy, rights, and profits back into the hands of the workers, and with that freedom, society improves.

Know your worth. Know that you have bargaining power. Let's make this pandemic part of the precedent. <3

I'm bringing my bullshit back to Tumblr because I've become bored with the other 4 apps I routinely hop to and from, so I'll be here until I once again fall off the horse and hate it for another year and a half because I don't know how to navigate it to my best advantage. Thanks you for your time, welcome aboard the roller-coaster to hell, there are exits but its a tuck and roll scenario💕

Tumblr Code.

If I ever see any of you in public, the code is “I like your shoelaces”
that way we know we’re from tumblr without revealing anything
I’m just going to say this to strangers until i find a tumblr person

must keep reblogering!! Im going to be so suspicious if any one tells me this now!
Remember the answer is: I stole them from the president.

always reblog tumblr identification

This is an absolute tumblr relic. I feel like an archaeologist right now. This is incredible that this is on my dash.

date of origin: 2nd of july, 2012.

Bro what it’s the second of July 2020. Happy 8th anniversary of this classic tumblr post!!!!

happy 9 fucking year anniversary

My dreams are so fucking bland like 99% of the time and then I have a dream I finally remember because it made me excited and what tf is it??

That the jankey always broken, barely hanging on by a thread work phone I have to carry for 12 hours a shift, finally got replaced. Thats it, a new phone to carry around at the job I've only grown to hate more and more everyday. Not those flying dreams I used to have as a kid, not that weird one with the dinosaurs, NOT ANYTHING MORE INSTERESTING, OH NO OF COURSE NOT! I MIGHT DIE FROM DELERIUM IF I HAVE TOO MUCH FALSE HOPE FROM A DREAM.

This is not the life I thought I'd be living 20 years ago...🙁

I really stopped getting any new followers after they banned porn off here lol. I mean I get it but my ego is still hurt...

I FINALLY HAVE A PROMPT FOR WRITERS.

We are in exactly this day and age but scientists are developing a new cream. What does this cream do? Well you're gonna find out because you're in the trial, it pays a lot, and that's good but also worrying. Why would they be paying so much if it wasn't really wrecking peoples bodies??

First day of the trial you walk in and they ask you if there's any part of your body you've ever wanted to modify with surgery. Seems like an okay question right? Like if this cream is gonna be some miracle surgery shortcut but that seems REALLY unlikely. You say sure you've always been a bit self conscious about some tummy fat, and cellulite, like everyone else in this modern world. They say no, not any tissue augmentation, thet want to know if you've ever wanted to remove or resculpt bones.

You're confused, but you know immediately what you're going to have done, because this shit, WORKS.

End of prompt.

Now you still have some OPTIONS HERE!

1. Remove funny bone, or bone that exposes nerve that makes you feel that way when you get hit there.

2. You resculpt your ear bones because you've always been deaf and somehow these "genius" doctors never thought of this application. The cream grows bones if you use it after the expiration date of course. You are now self conscious of your voice and why didn't ANYONE TELL YOU THAT TORNADO SIRENS GO OFF ON A TIMED SCHEDULE TO MAKE SURE THE SYSTEM IN WORKING AND NOT ONLY WHEN A TORNADO IS ABOUT TO COME AND KILL YOU??????!!!!

3. Ask you remove your boner bone, because you believed your mom/dad/grandparents when they said if you keep touching it you're going to break it. You have lived a very sheltered life...obviously.

4. You add horns like Hellboy to pull off the greatest costume transformation the world has ever seen! Using expired cream to remove afterwards with the only side effects of this dramatic transformation being a small rash at the area, extremely sweaty feet, extreme rapid hair growth but only on your toes, and sneezing in succession but only when most inconvenient or when you have to pee really bad, which all lasts 2 days.

5. Have them remove your toe bones, have your toes webbed together, win the Olympics taking all the gold medals home.

6. A simple nose job, enlarging or reducing it until you are completely satisfied.

7. Elongating your arms and legs to give you a Slenderman type appearance. You train crows to bring you gifts and to follow you at sight in exchange for friendship and food. You wait for the stupid popular kids to take a camping trip, and make them piss themselves as they TRY to run away, but you have longer legs and none of them make it out alive. You've trained the crows to speak the "run" beat edm drop and those kids will never be the same again.

8. Long knife fingers, you're hands have to be registered as lethal weapons now.

9. Longer fingers but to peruse your dreams of being a hand model and expert lover.

10. Grow every bonee in your feet, move to the pacific northwest, and really give the Big Foot Fandom something to talk about!

11. Grow all your teeth. I have no real world application for this but maybe chewing more at once?🤷‍♀️

12. Grow your pelvis for an easier birthing experience, or to lure the 17th century man of your dreams with your time machine and wide birthing hips. Make Barnabas Collins choke on his morning blood, I mean OJ.

13. Grow only your canine teeth, to be the closest thing to a vampire that has ever strolled through Forks, Washington.

14. Alter your skull so you can shave your head but have it looking flawless.

15. Your trans and you want to reshape the feminine/masculine features formed in puberty to look more on the outside how you feel you should. You do, and you feel so at peace😊

16. You make your collarbones more pronounced and become famous in South Korea for said impeccable collarbones.

17. You rob the secure supply room of the new drug to help your grandma who just broke her hip, it revitalizes every bone in her body and shes so strong now that she can check out of the nursing home and go back to being a firefighter. She then outlives all her relatives and curses you as her nemesis for damning her with immortality! She still fights fires because SHES THE GOOD GUYS AND YOU'RE THE MONSTER IN THIS SITUATION!

18. You slather it over your whole body and now are taller than Shaq. You get tons of offers to play for the NBA, EVERYONE WANTS A PIECE OF YOU, but you don't wanna play ball, you wanna cut topiaries for the botanical gardens. They win prizes from Better Homes & Gardens and eventually you trim your prize winning, mind-bending, extravagant topiaries for both The Queen of England, and Beyoncé.

19. You become a secret miracle worker for injured horses and other large animals, that without your visit and the secret application of this cream they would surely be put to death just to spare them from a short, weakened, broken life in a body that can no longer support even half their natural weight. People believe just your gloved touch heals them, you never correct them. You like being mysterious.

20. You go around digging up long dead skeletonized bodies only to apply the cream and leave them exposed on overturned earth so that news slowly spreads across the globe that gigantic skeletons have been found in grave yards and cemeteries having apparently continued to grow and simply burst from the pressure out of their graves, and onto the topsoil. This prank does have a few felony charges to go with it if you're ever caught but you can't own up to it now that you've perfected using a small drill through the trodden earth, and the casket lid to insert a time release capsule of the cream suspended in water inside a small vial also containing part of one of your wisdom teeth that you grew after having them removed(Oh yeah I worked in the growing teeth prompt baby!). It should work but you'll wait until you see results. The plan works of course and the next day it is broadcast that a local funeral has now had a 800% mortality rate as the ever growing skeleton did, in fact, explode with great force out of the ground and splayed horrifyingly close to the ongoing funeral service nearby. 7 died from heart attacks shortly after and one from being crushed by said giant skeleton. There was also reports of one twisted ankle from a child trying to run away and one nervous breakdown from the first person to realize they have 8 more funerals to plan and pay for now, oh and little Timmys therapy sessions. You claim NOTHING!

Go my children, spun me a yarn of bones, cream, and CHAOS.

Does anyone follow those accounts of "lost" and "abandoned" places? I was just talking to Nate about how they should be free if they've been officially/legally abandoned to anyone who wants to redo them. If you find a mansion and you want to restore it or at least fix all the broken windows and try to live in it, why the fuck not? It should go on sale for a dollar so you can use all your money to redo it and hopefully actually succeed. Idk why people think its better to just let things keep rotting when they could be fixed now.

I want Trans peoples opinion on JK. Rowling rn. The good and the bad. I love Harry Potter but I don't want to support her anymore because of the transphobic stance shes recently decided to comment about to the public, going as far as to write a book apparently from the standpoint of a man who dresses up like a woman to murder women. Which seems like Hitler publishing Mein Kampf, and like her final solidification into the metamorphisiation of a real life Delores Umbridge. The irony seems to be lost on her but still here we are.

Oh no being goddess of class and disaster just makes me the all time Olympic Gold Medalist for drinking Dumb Bitch Juice..
