honestly if we found out vampires were real and living among us, how would you genuinely react?
[image description: a tweet from Turnt Grandpa (@/Turnt_Grandpa) that has been obviously edited to read, “I live in fear that some vampire will bite me who lives at 822 58th St, Apt 2 on the 4th floor, keeps door unlocked cant miss it” /end id]
Can we normalise not calling people slurs
It should not be a controversial take for me to say that reclaimed slurs are still slurs and it is neither nice nor normal to use them on random stangers even if in your mind it is no longer a slur
I think a good rule of thumb when communicating on the internet is asking yourself "would saying this get my teeth kicked in were I to say it to a stranger in person?" before you say it
almost crying on the train this morning bc store by crj came up on shuffle and I was suddenly launched back in time to my welcome week where the song was playing in the student society room. and all of the sudden like 7 years have gone by and graduation is next week. inviting ms jepsen to my convocation for her constant support w/o her I would not have these degrees
no patience for motherfuckers who hear me say something mean about Franchise and are like 'well i'm allowed to enjoy it'. like yeah bitch you are why do you need me, a blogger, to tell you that. am i your boss. am i your dom. am i the Pope. why is it so important to you that a stranger validate and endorse your Enjoyment of Brand
when i'm god-empress of mankind nobody will be allowed to enjoy things and anyone caught deriving any type of joy from media will be viciously beaten with sticks and thrown into the nearest river
hey can i enjoy this post
you are going to have your Brains sucked out by a big machine to power my cool glowing chair, fatally
there's a not insignificant number of blogs on this website whom I actively enjoy and find them funny but I don't follow them because I'd probably get annoyed with them very quickly if they were on my dash. it's easier to let my mutuals filter it to only the Good Posts

one major difference i have found between service industry work (in my case food service but this is widely applicable to similar jobs) and other public-facing positions is that the job itself is often very similar because people is the same, it's just in service everyone approaches you already thinking they're right and you're a fucking idiot and its their god given right to disrespect you, where in other positions even if they are not nice to you they usually acknowledge that you know more than them on issues pertaining to your job. like the difference in behaviour from people who see you as serving them vs helping them is unreal. i am doing literally the exact same things. customer is always right mentality did irreparable damage to the fabric of society
me at the library when ive been typing for ages because i misspelled the title of the book a patron wants like 5 times and also accidentally closed my window: haha my computer is being slow sorry, just waiting to see if the system search turns anything up
patron: omg no worries take your time thanks so much for helping me
me in food service after i made the customer wait 0.4 seconds because i had to turn off a machine before it exploded hot oil everywhere while they glare daggers at me, reciting a policy i read so often i had it memorized: yeah so 10% was yesterday's deal, today is buy one get one free, they're actually on a weekly rotation and we don't control any of it you can even look at the buttons on the cash register if you w—
customer: but i got 10% off yesterday
me: i know. but i cant do that today. there literally is no button for it and if there was i cannot press it or else they would write me up
customer: but i want 10% off. they did it for me last time
me: ok i understand. i cant do it this time though
customer: it's 10% off at [other location]
me: ok. not here though. we don't price match.
customer:
me:
customer: give me the number for corporate

sometimes i do not understand people's writing/reading pet peeves saw someone say recently you shouldn't use words that cannot literally describe speech as dialogue tags. as in things like "she laughed" or "he breathed". sorry but if you cannot understand the tone of voice intended to be conveyed by "he breathed" as a dialogue tag and ONLY understand it as wheezing in and out while they speak... skill issue

inside you, young transmasculine person, is a voice that will tell you not to like certain things because they're For Girls. that is the voice of the devil, and you must never listen to it.
my favourite part of editing is using the comment function to leave instructions for myself pointing out how shits fucked. my least favourite part of editing is having to actually unfuck all the shit i noticed

rip to all the “fuckyeah___” blogs that carried our society at one point </3
starting to think what some of you mean by "people should be allowed to make mistakes and grow from them without constantly rehashing the mistake and its consequences long after they have done everything feasible to repair the harm and move forward" is actually more like "people should be allowed to do whatever with impunity and if you bring it up no matter how recently it happened, how much harm is caused, or if they have attempted to fix or even acknowledge that harm, then actually you're a bad person for dredging up the past"
like some of u will describe heads of imperial states as "making mistakes". this is a word for when someone made a tone deaf Facebook post 11 years ago, and not for george w bush starting the Iraq war. hope this helps
if i bring a book someplace it doesn't necessarily mean i want to read it mayb i just want to take her own a walk. Get her some fresh air and a change of scenery
