what if they did that thing, you know the thing XD
Union Real Talk for a mo.
My coworker broke her foot today because of an unsafe wobbly cart combined with a poorly maintained ramp.
Our union rep (when contacted) came over and had a quick less than 10min chat with the supervisor. After that chat?
1. My coworker was given admin time to go get X-rays as opposed to needing to use sick time.
2. The Union rep helped her successfully fill out the worker's comp forms so she doesn't have to pay for it
3. They're getting rid of that cart
4. All carts are being re-routed to the front entrance until the ramp is fixed
5. She's going to work at home for the next month while her foot heals.
Without a union present? Maybe #5 would have happened, but the rest? Doubtful
i learned about Tim Wong who successfully and singlehandedly repopulated the rare California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly in San Francisco. In the past few years, he’s cultivated more than 200 pipevine plants (their only food source) and gives thousands of caterpillars to his local Botanical Garden (x)
I believe very strongly in “I didn’t say it was good, I said I liked it”
but what might be even more important is “I didn’t say it was bad, I said I hated it”
I just wanna say if you hate something good because it sends terrible messages that’s fine but you can also just hate it because you hate it. free yourself of the struggle to find a “good enough” reason. sometimes it doesn’t hit right.

this invokes an unidentifiable emotion deep in my core that i am hoping with every fiber of my being is not lust
I read this and thought, “unfortunately I think I know exactly what they mean”
u guys know theres other movies and books than hp right. like you dont need to and cannot "find ways to read/watch hp without supporting jkr". unless youre literally doing literary research, engaging with it knowing about jkrs shittiness is a form of support. fucking read something else
‘why does every setting consider witch and wizard the magical genders’ they dont, read other books ‘im upset at how all goblins are antisemitic stereotypes’ they arent, read other books ‘im unhappy that the only careers shown for these kids after wizard school is wizard teacher and wizard cop and dont explore the wizard world outside of the school’ boy, would you be thrilled to hear about this thing called other books ‘its so unsatisfying how they never really went anywhere with the house elf liberation thing’ i am going to beat you with a copy of ‘feet of clay’ ‘but theres no other female fantasy authors to give a good role model for aspiring women writers to prove a woman can succeed in male dominated literature’ i could make a moderately sized house of of the books written by Ursula K Le Guin, Anne McCaffrey , and Margaret Weis alone, with the front door made of the awards theyve earned ‘we cant ignore her contributions to popular culture’ oh yes we can! Margaret Weis, who i pointed out above, was part of the team that put dragons in dungeons and dragons, i would argue thats more of a sticking point then ‘what if wizards went to school’, which, itself, was handled infinitely better by Ursula describing magic schools and apprenticeships and got made into a ghibli movie so its hardly an original idea that a small child is treated badly but then hes told hes the protagonist and gets to go to the land of whimsy where he always wins and the education consists of ‘point stick and say stoppus badguyus’ and school houses that just reinforce brittish social classes and magic racism READ
OTHER
BOOKS
theres a lot of them, theyre good, many of them are free, i could write a list of books that have really good magical settings/systems thats longer then my arm
for real once you realize that you can actually wear whatever you want and call yourself whatever name and pronouns you want and have whatever interests you want and be whatever gender you want your life gets so much better and more fun
