You’re here... Yay?

remember that time the admiral crawled into Jon's lap, shoved his furry butt in his face, and started purring up a storm because of how much he loved him. and then Jon said "yes, yes, I love you too" and started giving him belly rubs. y'all remember that.

do y'all also remember the horror trope of animals being sensitive to the supernatural and how they would growl/hiss at monsters and inhuman impersonators and whatnot. and how, in a season during which Jon is starting to really struggle with whether he's human or not, the admiral shows him just as much love and demands just as much affection from him as he likely would if jon wasn't getting eye-ified. he's not entirely human anymore but the admiral still demands belly rubs. y'all ever think about that.

I resent that there is no conceivable way for me to walk to the farmer's market even though the distance isn't so bad.

It's just that the road has no shoulder and if I tried to walk along it, I would become a statistic and not the LGBT kind

do goyische english speakers even know how many words they use regularly are yiddish Do they even know

there’s the obvious like mensch and mazel tov and bris and kosher but also chutzpah and klutz and dreck and kvetch and tchotchke and putz and schlock and SCHLONG! DO YOU GUYS KNOW THAT ONE OF THE FAMOUS TERMS FOR DICK IS YIDDISH! what about shmuck or schtick or GLITCH! GLITCH IS YIDDISH! DO YOU GUYS EVEN KNOW THAT BAGEL IS YIDDISH

well, no, they’re loanwords. english does it all the time with all kinds of languages. café (french), bazaar (persian), and kindergarten (german) are all loanwords. it’s not stealing, because languages aren’t really capable of the malice that implies. there’s also nothing wrong with using words from or learning new languages. what really gets my goat though is when gentiles mock the way yiddish sounds while using its words without even realizing it

y'all gave us bagel AND schlong?!?!? omg...thank you jewish people...

-as they are dragging me off to the gallows- endeavor x hawks is a good ship because they are AWFUL for each other and clearly filling roles in each other lives in an unhealthy way! hawks is filling daddy issues by fucking the only stable role model he’s ever had and i think the fact enji is fucking someone his ‘dead’ son’s age saYS A LOT TOO.

Matteo: Imagine if you became an apprentice to a Praetor. In ten years’ time, you could be a Praetor yourself. You could have a fleet! Imagine what you could do with a fleet, my goodman. Just imagine.

Darrow, like three years later: Y’all mind if I tear down this here whole color-coded Society?

Look what you get when you pre-order Light Bringer:

Thanks Matt for provinding this.

Submit your receipt to get one and a few other stuff. Unforetunately, US only 🐺💖.

Darrow: I came here to love my friends and family and to kill fascists.

Darrow, tears in his eyes, clutching his razor tight: and I’m running out of friends.

Just thinking about how Pierce Brown did the most for his fans. When he realized his books had found an unexpected home with the queer community he listened to their interpretations of his characters and said “yea absolutely 100% they are all bisexual and I accept 90% of your theories about who has banged” and then he doubled down by adding a queer character to his sequel series who became an instant fan fav. He wasn’t a token, he wasn’t a small side character, he was a new, main character, which was a huge risk when your fan base expects to spend time with characters they already know and love. But in typical Pierce Brown fashion he created someone so rich, nuanced, and heartbreaking that the fans responded with love. And *spoiler alert* before someone says “bury your gays” I will defend that choice because it was meaningful, powerful, and cemented his legacy as a top tier character. Besides, if you know these books you know the theme should be “bury your favs” lol I’m gonna go cry now.

I love my Tumblr dash

Do Not Let HR do this to you. It is not illegal to talk about wages in the work place. I did and got a 12% raise!

True info. Now let me add something: The power of documentation. (I was a long time steward in a nurses union.)

Remember: The "'E" in email stands for evidence.

That cuts both ways. Be careful what you put into an email. It never really goes away and can be used against you.

But can also be a powerful tool for workplace fairness.

Case 1: Your supervisor asks you to do something you know is either illegal or against company policy. A verbal request. If things go wrong, you can count on them denying that they ever told you to do that. You go back to your desk, or wherever and you send them an email: "I just want to make sure that I understood correctly that you want me to do xxxxx" Quite often, once they see it in writing, they will change their mind about having you do it. If not, you have documentation.

Case 2: You have a schedule you like, you've had that schedule for a while, it works for you. Your supervisor comes to you and says "We're really short-handed now and I need you to change your schedule just for a month until we can get someone else hired. It's just temporary and you can have your old schedule back after a month." A month goes by and they forget entirely that they made that promise to you. So, once again, when they make the initial request, you send them an email "I'm happy to help out temporarily, but just want to make sure I understand correctly that I will get my old schedule back after a month as you promised." Documentation.

[Image ID: Text reading: In the middle of a busy clinic at our practice, I got pulled in by my manager to speak to HR, who must have made a special trip because she lives several states away, and told I was being 'investigated' for discussing wages with my other employees. She told me it was against company policy to discuss wages.

Me; That's illegal.

Them: (start italics) three slow, long seconds of staring at me blankly (end italics) Uh...

Me: That's an illegal policy to have. The right to discuss wages is a right protected by the National Labor Relations board. I used to be in a union. I know this.

HR: Oh, this is news to me! I have been working HR for 18 years and I never knew that. Haha. Well try not do do it anyway, it makes people upset, haha.

Me: people are entitled to their opinions about what their work is worth. Bye.

I then left, and sent her several texts and emails saying I would like a copy of their company policy to see where this wage discussion policy was kept. She quickly called me back in to her office.

HR: You know what, there is no policy like that in the handbook! I double check. Sorry about the confusion, my apologies.

Me: You still haven't given me the paper saying that we had this discussion. I am going to need some protection against retaliation.

HR: Oh haha yes here you go.

I just received a paper with legal letterhead and an apology saying there was no verbal warning or write up. Don't even take their shit you guys. Keep talking about wages. Know your worth. /End ID]

At one of my old (shit) jobs my boss would continually come have these verbal discussions with me and would never put anything in writing I took to summarizing every discussion we had in email. Like “just to confirm that you asked me to do X by Y date and you understand that means I won’t be able to complete the previous task you gave me until Z date - 2 weeks later than originally scheduled - because you want me to prioritize this new project.

The woman would then storm back into my office screaming at me for putting the discussion in writing and arguing about pushing back the other project or whatever. At which point I would summarize that conversation in email as well. Which would bring her storming back in, rinse and repeat ad nauseum.

Anyway I cannot imagine how badly that job would have gone if I hadn’t put all her wildly unreasonable demands in writing. Bitch still hated me but she could never hang me for “missing deadlines” because I always had in writing that she’d pushed the project back because she wanted something else done first.

Paper your asses babes. Do not let them get away with shit. If they won’t put what they’re asking you to do in writing then write it up yourself and email it to them.
