literally fuck companies that don't want their employees to act "unprofessional" in front of customers. I'm at a five guys rn and the employees here are joking around calling orders back and forth to each other and saying things in weird voices and laughing with each other while they work. Someone just came in for their shift while I was waiting for my food and was greeted by the whole kitchen with a secret handshake lookin thing. It was so silly and cute I love seeing ppl have fun at work and I know my food's gonna be bomb bc the ppl there are having fun with each other. Let employees be people and friends and have fun what is the issue!!!!

Hate to be the guy who takes this post very seriously but the reason bosses don’t like this and don’t encourage it is because what follows is talking about wages and treatment at work and then unionizing lol

i needed to read this today so im sharing it to all of you!!

Listen When I was a scared little babygay not even willing to think the word "gay" to myself, I stayed alive because Sailor Uranus would be very disappointed in me if I didn't, and that was enough for twelve-year-old me to hold on. One of the most emotional experiences of my life was meeting her (new) VA and being like "I can't thank her, because she's not real, but she kept me alive until I could keep myself alive, and can I hug you?"

Yes, it works. Yes, it matters. And yes, it's entirely fine to take your meds everyday because the Horde wouldn't want you to take your meds and fuck those guys.

If it keeps you going, go on keeping it.

Oh fuck I gotta pee. Wait wait, I can’t stand up I’m gonna fall over. Shit I haven’t eaten in like 23 hours. Damn I’m thirsty, maybe I should— fuck why am I nauseous? Oh, I didn’t eat, right. It’s WHAT time? 3AM? Do I even have time to eat? Shit, I forgot to take my meds earlier. Or did I? Damnit. Why is my head pounding, oh, right, haven’t eaten and I’m dehydrated… fuck I still gotta pee

You know what, fuck you. *Romanticizes the monstrous in a way that is deeply compelling to people who feel they've been ostracized from mainstream society in one way or another, and also at least a little bit horny*

i'm literally begging people to relearn how to use earbuds and headphones. i don't wanna hear your fucking tiktok while im waiting for my flight.

100% this.

i was going to be like “there are burgers that cost more than headphones”  because i know some places make $15-$30 burgers but then i checked the cheap headphones prices at a major chain here and

there are headphones cheaper than not just a maccas burger but also the Loose Change Menu mcwhatever burgers

like you are not an audiophile anyway if you are using the tinny phone speakers so you might as well just get a couple pairs of cheap headphones

“it’s weird for queer minors to be friends with queer adults” oh my god. ohhh my god.

intergenerational community support, especially in a community that is split so much age wise as the queer community, is immensely fucking important. get to know older queers and younger queers. this is how communities frazzle out and die to infighting.

the hypothetical queer adult that people are mad over in the post this is refrencing is 35 years old. only 35.

its weird for any minors to be friends with any adults, queer or not. There should be no reason why unrelated adults or minors should be making close relationships in any sense outside of professional ones. I understand wanting education, but they can be taught when they are adults as well.

is this a joke.

That commenter seems to forget that children are human beings too

Has this person never been involved in hobbies or politics or religion or the arts or any environment that normal people interact in?

I think part of the problem is thinking there’s only one kind of friendship. The friendship I form with a kid is going to look different than a friendship I have with someone my own age or friendship with someone significantly older than me. But that doesn’t mean it’s not friendship. I mean, being kind to each other, talking about similar interests, giving each other support and advice when needed— these are good things, and there may be another type of relationship you could term this, but I think friendship works just as well.

Unless you’re the type of person who thinks that friends will inevitably take advantage of each other, or that a friendship always has potential to turn into a relationship. Because those are the circumstances where you would need to watch out with an adult becoming friends with a kid.  But just because those bad apples exist, doesn’t mean you should cut down all the apple trees. 

I think they’re the type of person who thinks all adults are looking to take (sexual) advantage of any person younger than they are, and can literally not fathom the concept of a community made up of people across all ages interacting with each other as being healthy, despite that being the standard way of living throughout pretty much all cultures throughout all of history. They’re really going to have problems when they eventually graduate into the working world and have no idea how to socialize with most of the people around them.

Never mind that, you know, if a queer kid's parents kick them out for being queer, it's probably good if they have SOME other safe adults in their lives who might have, like, a couch they can crash on?

My adult friends were the ones who took me out to lunch when my dad died and told me they’d been there too, and what it was like. They mentored me in math and volunteer work and my job. One drove me to synagogue every week and added me to her family plan. They have life experience that no one my age could dream about—my tap teacher was even in the original Broadway cast of Hello, Dolly! I absolutely love my friends who are my age, but they’ve never asked me to help them name a hurricane.

I’ve only felt unsafe with adults a few times in my life, and I could see the danger signs BECAUSE I had much experience with good adults. Having adult friends throughout my childhood helped me learn how to be a good adult, too.

Knowing different kinds of people helps you grow and understand who you want to be. If I didn’t have so many good influences from my (adult) friends, I might have turned out a very different person. I’m forever grateful to them.

I'm a queer adult with queers friends who are minors, and guess fucking what?

That's good for everyone involved, I get not become jaded and disconnected from today's youth, and the kids get to learn from mistakes and experience. Some of them even get the bonus of having adults in their life who actually supports their identities and respect their individuality.

Yes I can cannot interact with minors the same way I can with friends my age and make sex jokes or whatever. But I don't need to do that, I can talk about fandom stuff, I can talk about my own interests.

And they're still some of the best friends I've ever had, I fucking wish more adults were willing to befriend kids. If they did we'd have a lot of less grumpy assholes producing traumatised kids

For those of you just tuning in: drinking or eating anything even mildly acidic an hour before or after you take your ADHD meds can pretty much negate their effects. Vitamin C, aka Abscorbic Acid, aka “natural preservatives” is an acid that can do just that.

Which is why I start my day with a glass of chocolate milk like my third grade self wished I could lol.

I talked to my actual medical doctor about this. she had never heard of it, so she looked at a few medical journals, then said ‘oh! yeah, that’s wrong.’

people taking recreational stimulants would use vitamin c to get the drugs out of their system before taking a drug test. They would have to consume huge amounts of it (like, multiple vitamin c SUPPLEMENTS, not just a couple glasses of oj) to have a chance of passing, and even that didn’t always work.

point is, my doctor assured me that having a glass of orange juice for breakfast should have negligible, if any, affects on your adhd medicine. I recommend asking your own doctors abt it at ur next appointment.

actually since tags get removed:

- your doctor who prescribes your stuff knows the dosage better than anyone on tumblr

- FDA labels and the like have to put every single possible thing down on the manual. almost everything is contraindicated for diabetes because there are so many diabetics that someone is bound to have a diabetes-related reaction to something. it doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed or common

- most articles i looked into agreed that you have to take like a TON of supplemental vitamin c. not just the amount that would begin to replenish your usual levels, but an excessive amount

- consuming a small amount of vitamin c along with your medication will not impact it anymore than the usual levels of the vitamin in your body that it would have encountered anyways

- if you find a difference when taking a stimulant with and without vitamin c, talk to you doctor about determining causality and then what to do about it

- the chemicals in grapefruit that cause such significant medication interactions are furanocoumarin chemicals. they aren’t highly prevalent in other citrus

Thanks for this; I kept seeing the “vitamin c will neutralize your meds!” thing on tumblr but I know that medical misinformation is very common online.

talk to your doctor, they aren’t right about everything by virtue of being a doctor but they will generally better understand how medications work than Random Tumblr Post

DUDE DON'T YOU DO THIS TO ME

When we’re new to adulthood, it doesn’t immediately occur to all of us that you’re almost always allowed to leave a situation, because growing up we’re forced to stay in situations until someone dismisses us and/or takes us home, or if we do leave on our own accord there’s someone waiting at home to say “we don’t quit in this family!” Boring party? You can leave. You don’t like the lecture? You can walk out. New doctor not working out? You can end the appointment, you don’t need to wait for them to dismiss you. Bad date? You can just go home. Leaving a situation prematurely might have consequences, but unless you’re under arrest or serving prison time, it’s pretty much always allowed.

A while back, I called for a Lyft ride home from the airport. The lyft pulled up, he called my name, and I opened the door and climbed in. While I was climbing in he was getting out, which I didn’t realize until he opened the back door on the other side.

Him: I’ll put your bag in the trunk. Me: Oh, there’s no need.  Him: I’ll just put it back there.  Me: I prefer to keep my bag with me.

I was also still holding onto it so he couldn’t just grab it, and when I said “I prefer to keep it with me” this cloud of rage crossed his face.

Him: Then get out.  Me: Excuse me? Him: Get out, I don’t want your bag fucking up my upholstery.

Now, this was a weekender – essentially an upscale duffle bag. Small, almost brand new, easily fitting on the middle-seat beside me. I don’t know if he was just really intense about his upholstery or if he was running some kind of scam, but either way I now DEFINITELY was not going to let him separate me from my bag.

So I said “Okay,” and I picked up my bag and got out, took out my phone, and cancelled him as my driver.

He looked at me like I’d grown a second head. There was this moment of total disconnect in his face, and then he started ranting about how someone had damaged his upholstery and they needed to put their bags in the back and he wasn’t going to have me getting his upholstery dirty. 

I said, “I’m out of your car. Drive on, I’ll get another,” and held up my phone.

This had clearly never happened before – it looked like plenty of people had thought “This guy is crazy” but went the “so I’d better let him do what he wants” route instead of “so I’m getting out of his car”. Which is totally normal! We’re socialized to prioritize “not making a scene” over personal safety. But when you do call that bluff, when you defy the social convention that the other person is counting on to make you do what they want you to do, they don’t know how to react, which gives you time for a clean getaway. And maybe he thought I was a dickhead but what do I care what an asshole thinks of me? 

Anyway the moral of the story is yes, you should know that you can almost always leave a situation and often it’s in your best interest to do so. 

(Right after I called for another car he picked up a fare using Quick Match or whatever it’s called, peeled out of the Lyft lane, and hit another car well nigh immediately.)

[ID: The Benefits of walking away. (Illustration of the back of a person walking away. ) 1. Makes bad things disappear quickly. 2. Gives everyone optimal view of your back. 3. Answers question, “I wonder what would happen if I just walked away”]

friendly reminder that you're allowed to need people, in fact everyone needs people. needing the company of others does not make you weak. spending time with other people is how we learn and grow.

It is morally correct to be horny on main.

If we really want to fight against this puritanical culture that seems to be hell-bent on running sex workers off the internet and banning pornography wherever they can find it, you have a moral duty to post hole on main. Doesn't have to be your own hole but you got to post it.
