Okay, so I’ve gotten multiple messages this week alone asking me to signal boost a fundraiser, all from people I have never once spoken to before. So let me make this very fucking clear- I am a person, not a fucking notice board. I reblog fundraisers from people I know and trust, and even then, I do so very rarely. This is my personal blog, I am here to have fun, and I do not want random people trying to use me to get eyes on their shit. If I don’t know you, it is not fucking happening, do NOT ask me to reblog your fundraiser. I will block you and report you for spam, and I will do so while absolutely judging your goddamn manners, since clearly you don’t have any.
If you need eyes on your fundraiser, please go over to @copperbadge’s Radio Free Monday form, fill it out, and stop dropping random messages in people’s inboxes.
Their flagship store and New York has unionized along with 3-4 other stores! This is happening! People are tired of being seen as dollar signs and being made to work just to get to work more, to survive instead of thrive. Keep it UP.
the issue with the dishes and getting rid of leftovers in the fridge and so on is that Well you dont want to do it because it sucks and is gross. so you can avoid it for a while. but watch out! because now its worse
worst relationship status to have w someone is “objectively they’re a fine person who is nice but i don’t enjoy their company as much as they enjoy mine”
second worst relationship status to have with someone is “objectively they’re a fine person but they Bother You”
secret third technically more harmless but in practicality more frustrating relationship status is “objectively they’re a fine person and they like so many of the same things i do but they like them in a fundamentally different way that is harmless but reads wrong to my brain and it has made attempts at forming an actual bond with them aggravating more than anything”
tbh i think stuff like this is why so many people, especially younger people, fall into this trap of “well if i don’t like a person or thing, they must be bad”. it would be so much easier if you could dismiss them as bad and move on. but it’s like, no, Objectively Fine people or things can just not mesh well with you for totally subjective reasons. and sometimes when they’re people you mesh much better with their brain than they do with yours. and sometimes you have to live with that.
compulsory abledness also (partially) explains why disability aids are forced onto some people and denied from others
prosthetic limbs are forced onto amputees whether they want them or not because the goal is to make disabled people look as abled as possible. whereas, all sorts of people who would benefit from mobility aids are often denied them until it’s a “last resort” because! you guessed it! the goal is to make us look as abled as possible
neither person in this situation is privileged. it’s just that the same harmful phenomenon impacts different groups in different ways
poor things, well we should definitely make this easier on them by never repeatedly mentioning their name and deeds on the “reblog things forever” website
Oh yay it’s the “cover evidence before the court case” move
The way people just assume that their experiences are universal. No thoughts, opinions or feelings about it. I’m just observing it.
“I’m not disabled in any way but I always go out of my way to avoid doing this completely normal everyday thing able-bodied people can do because doing that causes me physical pain.”
Dude.
“I’m not gay or anything, but on average you really do see more good-looking men than you see good-looking women.”
Bruh.
“It must really suck to have ADHD or something, I mean I forget what I was doing every 30 seconds and get yelled at about it at least twice a day, it would suck if that was like a clinical thing.”
Brother.
“I’m perfectly happy being a cis man but wouldn’t everyone rather be a woman if they had the chance?”
Apparently neopets not only managed to ditch the NFT bros, but with the closure of the Jumpstart brand weeks ago, neopets is now completely independent for the first time since the early 2000′s, got millions in a new investment deal and are currently installing a flash simulator so that all their games and animations work again.
