Castle. Random fandom blog and occasional poet. She/he/they pronouns. 20+. Bisexual. Currently obsessed with AvM and Six of Crows and play Minecraft, but things may shift over time.

there's something so compelling to me about the fact that sometimes leaving a blade or bullet inside the wound it made is the only way to prevent you from bleeding to death. something about the ironic symbolism of it. when the thing designed and intended to kill you is the only thing keeping you alive.

I'M DOING AN EXPERIMENT

To prove something to a friend, please

prideful whumpee who would do anything to hide their pain / what they saw as a sign of weakness from their friends.

  • when they unconsciously gritted their teeth or held their breath, without being aware of their action, when a wave of pain hit? nice.
  • when they said no when they were asked if they were in pain, only for the paleness of their skin and the layers of sweat on their forehead to betray them? cool.
  • when they said they were fine only for them to fall to the ground once they stood up? lovely.
  • when their stubborn ass finally accepted the help from caretaker and let caretaker carry them bridal style back to their bed? I’ll never get tired of this trope.

Guys I really don’t think we all have to worry about that age comment alan made. As someone already said, things on avg arent really thought about. PLUS a big detail people are missing is that before alan said they were 12, DJ had asked “how old are they? Since their creation?” So alan replied with 10-12, which is only about 2-4 years off from the episode orange + second first appeared in, which was 8 years ago. DJ was only asking how old they were since *creation*, which isnt necessarily the same thing as age.

And of course if that feels like too much of a stretch, just.. feel free to ignore the comment that was said in a side channel video with 5 seconds of thought!

But yeah, i think we can calm down a little bit guys, it’s nothing worth getting worried over :)

MAKE UNIONS GREAT AGAIN.  That is the only way that workers can finally receive the salaries they deserve.  The reality is that businesses CANNOT SUCCEED WITHOUT EMPLOYEES.  

WORKERS UNITE.

Hooray for the UPS workers union! May they continue to score wins!

One time my dad came to family dinner all excited “you know that show Sherlock? I hear fans are writing whole new stories for it online”

And in perfect unison my sister and I yelled “DAD NO!” So vehemently he stopped in his tracks.

Then a look of dawning comprehension on his face.

“Oh, this is like Kirk and Spock, isn’t it”

And I died right then and there.

Yeah quiet quitting is great and all but have you tried chaotic working?

Like. I remember back in my grocery store cashier days I did so much crazy shit.

When WIC (Women, infants, and children voucher program to help low income mothers/families with children) people were in my line I would pretty much know who they were. Before the cards they had to tell us upfront they were WIC and show us their vouchers for what they were allowed to get (it was awful some times. Like. 2 gallons of milk. $4 worth of vegetables etc etc). They’d always have items hanging back, waiting to see what the total was and if they would have to take it off the belt.

I began to place the fruits/vegetables a certain way on the register scale so that like 1/2lbs of grapes read as like .28lbs or something. Then act shocked when I said that they still had X amount of lbs left. They got all their fruit and vegetables.

I think it started to kinda? Catch on to the women? Because I would have the same moms in my line month after month. And even after they switched to the cards (they worked like food stamp cards?) I’d still do the same thing. They were able to get more produce for whatever shitty max amount Indiana gave them.

Anyways. Be chaotic. It’s more fun that way.

YOU HAVE POWER AS A WAGE WORKER

Abuse the bosses' dollar as much as you can. Give things away for free. Use your work's "Cop/Military Discount" for regular ass people. Let people steal food.

Fuck'em it's a worker's world.

[Image ID: Text reading: "Good Work" Strikes

One of the biggest problems for service industry workers is that many forms of direct action, such as Slowdowns, end up hurting the consumer (most of them are also members for the workering class) more than the boss. One way around this is to provide better or cheaper service -- at the boss' expense, of course.

Workers at Mercy Hospital in France, who were afraid that patients would go untreated if they went on strike, instead refused to file the billing slips for drugs, lab tests, treatments, and therapy. As a result, the patients got better care (since time was being spent caring for them instead of doing paperwork), for free. The hospital's income was cut if half, and panic-stricken administration gave in to all of the workers' demands after three days.

In 1968, Lisbon bus and train workers gave free rides to all passengers to protest a denial of wage increases. Conductors and drivers arrive for work as usual, but the conductors did not pick up their money satchels. Needless to say, public support was solidly behind these take-no-fare strikers.

In New York City, I.W.W. restaurant workers, after losing a strike, won some of their demands by heeding the advice of I.W.W. organizers to "pile up the plates, give 'em double helpings, and figure the checks on the low side." /End ID]

Plain text: you have power as a wage worker
