FYI if your employer does this, if they have done it for a long time especially, you and your coworkers could be owed huge amounts of unpaid wages and it would be an easy suit if there is a paper trail like this and your employer is placing strict requirements on your behavior while not at work. Employment lawyers generally work on contingency. Just food for thought.
You know that study that found when doing a blind taste test the majority of people prefer pepsi over coca cola so coke changed their recipe to taste more like pepsi, and people actually liked the new coke a lot less because the people who were buying coke didn't want it to taste like pepsi they wanted their coke to taste like coke. That's what a lot of the new changes tumblr is working on feel like.
ID: A retweet of a DiscussingFilm tweet by Emily @memilies. The original tweet contains a picture of Louis and Lestat from Interview With The Vampire and reads: “Interview With The Vampire Season 2 has halted filming due to the studio’s unwillingness to give the actors fair pay and working conditions.” The retweet reads “I love this phrasing, more of this please.”

no webcomic will ever be as funny as this strip from oglaf

Is he aware that we physically fucking can’t
? physically cant what?
Bend our ankles like that
Like what???
At steep angles! Bones fuse and prevent that if you don’t do it regularly as a kid. It’s the same reason we don’t climb trees like monkeys, whose ankles don’t have the same restrictions we do
Human ankles don’t normally work like that!
Iirc someone did an anatomical study and people of slavic descent have shallower hip sockets that allow that movement more easily as well.
Yes! This was something we talked about in my physical anthropology class, that like, some people physically cannot slav squat just because of their bones and skeletal structure.
Look until this post started going around I had no idea some people couldn’t do this???
Reblog and tag with whether you can slav squat or not.

there’s a ton of shit you can get in life if you’re willing to submit yourself to the mortifying horror of asking for it.
me: can i take this exam…a different time? prof: sure me, crying on the inside from the effort of asking: thanks!
subjective perspective =/= unreliable narration
like. i am holding you gently by the face. listen to me. all narration will reflect a subjective experience. this is not the same as an unreliable narrator. the unreliable narrator lacks credibility for a specific reason - they’re an exaggerator, they’re insane, they’re a joker, they’re an outright liar. a character whose view of things is merely coloured by their backstory and experiences is not inherently unreliable, simply subjective. an unreliable narrator is intentionally or significantly altering the truth, to position the audience deliberately. it’s a specific literary device, not a default in POV storytelling.
adding to this to say that a subjective narrator (most narrators fall in this category) is the conduit through which the reader discovers the story. it will never make sense for the subjective narrator to have ALL the information immediately — as they discover things, so does the reader. yes, the reader may realise things before the narrator, and that’s okay! it still doesn’t make them unreliable. remember that you (the reader) are not within the narrative, and are able to step back and view all the details in a way the character can’t.
in some cases, this is totally intentional! when the reader/audience knows something that the narrator (or other characters) doesn’t, that is called dramatic irony. it is a device most often used in the theatre, but can be used in books as well. again, the use of dramatic irony does not mean the narrator is unreliable!
in identifying an unreliable narrator, ask yourself if the character has an agenda. what would the character gain by manipulating the way the story is told? if there is no agenda at play, then the narrator is merely subjective, not unreliable.
The increasing number of graham crackers and chocolate bars in orbit has created a growing risk of Kessler s'mores.
People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.
Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.
Check out these crazy ass Lair Actions:
The player party are a group of heroes who have been sent in to deal with a Sphinx who threatens the kingdom. It's an epic battle but unbeknownst to the characters, each round the Sphinx is moving time forward by 10 years, occasionally stopping to babify a character or two (cos fucking lol). Then after 10 rounds of combat the Sphinx shunts everyone to a random plane, and then on the start of its turn immediately warps itself back to its lair, stranding the players far from home.
The players are now determined to get back and deal with this Sphinx. After a short adventure to find interplanar travel and a greater restoration spell to re-age a toddler (I would totally replace them with Halfling stats) they finally arrive back at the kingdom.
To discover 100 Years have passed. Flung into the distant future where the Spninx's rule is law. Now the fools seek to return to the past and undo the future that is: Sphinx!
Favorite thing about renaissance faires is that they have fuck all to to with the renaissance. This thang is not about historical anything this is about dressing up like a fairy and watching a joust
