I’m bored, so I am going to add to this spn class discourse with the following:

It is absolutely true that the Winchesters grew up poor. Nobody is disputing that. We don’t see a lot of them struggling with it in the show - throwaway lines about having to hustle to eat, occasionally sleeping in the Impala (though we do most often see them in motels before the bunker), etc. - but as someone pointed out, as a struggle, it’s not a primary focus.

I know people are pointing out that Kripke said that the brothers are blue collar and hunting is their “job”, but really, that’s not exactly correct if we want to be accurate here. For starters, they don’t get paid, so it’s not a job. It’s vigilante shit. They’re self-appointed (or Chuck-appointed, if you want to get into the whole, Chuck-was-writing-a-story-the-whole-time bit, which I’d say Is worthwhile to point out) supernatural law enforcers, essentially. But they’re not actual, paid law enforcement. So it’s not actually a job. Also, Kripke can be wrong. He was certainly wrong about male sexual assault being funny, so.

“Black collar” does seem to be a term, though it appears to be more colloquial in nature and doesn’t have as many references as white or blue collar. It seems to refer to “unreported employment”, or illegal work done without reporting to the government for tax payment. And Sam and Dean definitely aren’t paying taxes.

However, as we learn at the end of the show, Charlie gave them some hacked credit card that always works. It’s always good. They don’t have to hustle anymore, they can just use the card and they have unlimited cash. So they aren’t paying taxes, their pockets are bottomless…it’s a billionaire’s wet dream. Until their luck gets fucked up, they are doing just fine financially. More than fine. Someone did point out that having a blue collar job does not equal poor, same as a white collar job does not equal rich; it’s the nature of the work that gets the designation. Secretarial work is white collar work. That doesn’t mean the secretary is loaded. A lot goes into a person’s financial situation in relation to so many things. So, to the person who said they’re an economist and pronounced Sam and Dean as blue collar: it sounds a lot like you’re equating being blue collar with being poor, buddy.

So, I mean…if Sam and Dean aren’t getting paid, and they aren’t paying taxes, and they don’t report any earnings to the government because they don’t have any, and the job they have isn’t actual law enforcement, and the way they get money by the end of the show isn’t by hustling, card games, or odd jobs but instead by a hacked credit card with unlimited money…it really isn’t wholly accurate to call them blue collar. It’s obviously not some huge crime to call them blue collar offhandedly, but I do think the black collar moniker fits much better. They are making money through illicit means, and are performing a job that doesn’t exist as a paid position, and are doing it under the cloak of darkness because as we know from the show, when what they do is discovered by the general population, they get arrested…for crimes. Including credit card fraud, which is - you guessed it - generally considered a white collar crime.

Also, because this came up for some reason: sure, I bet Dean has eaten women out. I don’t see what that has to do with money, but I will say that eating a woman out doesn’t make someone a feminist, either. So. Yeah.

The #asexual tag is getting overwhelmed by bots, and we need your help

For whatever reason, this was the tag the supplement and NSFW bots decided they wanted to attack today, so if you have the bandwidth, please help us by doing one of these things:

Post and reblog actual ace content! Saw a funny garlic bread meme? Found cool merch? Have a favorite informational or support comic? Want to spam the ace/aroace/aro flags? Do it, anything is better than bots!

Report and block! I'll be honest I have no idea what the backend process is for reporting, but if nothing else blocking keeps it off your own dash.

That's it! Thanks for your support, and happy hunting!

Abby Audios pt 2

Y’all seemed to really like the other audios soooo

[the-ships-to-rule-them-all]

the level at which people are misusing the term "Never Again" in the far left absolutely infuriates me.

"Never Again" doesn't refer to the idea of no more genocides -- unfortunately people are evil and corrupt and seek scapegoats and destruction, there were genocides in the years following the Holocaust, there were genocides 10 years ago, there are multiple genocides going on as we speak

"Never Again" means we as Jews will pay attention to the warning signs, will not mindlessly allow antisemitism to fester and take over our communities, we will fight back. it means we will be proud. it means we will not let you hate us without a word of refusal.

"Never Again" is a warning for us, it is a reminder that what happened then can happen now -- is happening now. The Far Left doesn't get to use it against us. You don't get to turn our tragedies into hate-speech and antisemitic rhetoric.

Y'all. I just read the new Rise comic, and boy do I have some THOUGHTS

MASSIVE spoilers under the cut.

First, these are the GOOD FUTURE GUYS!!! Canon future Casey and April designs! Raph canonically lost his right eye sight in the movie now, plus he still loses his arm eventually. Splinter apparently DIES like, what, a year after the movie if that? Leo's portals can just go haywire? A 17 YEAR OLD LEO FRESH OUT OF THE PRISON DIMENSION ACCIDENTALLY SENT HIMSELF PORTAL HOPPING THROUGH THE UNIVERSE?!?

FRIDA DESIGN!!! Love her, can't wait to make/see fan art it her. But also: THEY HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER EXCUSE ME?! Is this a net new person? Renet helped train Mikey? The triceratons tried to invade?

Seriously, for how short this comic was, it is PACKED with new info. Someone please come rant with me.

[hansgrubr]

Back on this blog again after the longest time bc I went to see a DIE HARD PLAY and it was awesome

featuring my Hans sweater I absolutely couldn’t go see this show without 🥰

The show was so fun!!! It’s a one man show in the style of epic poetry and I loved it a lot!!!!!!

The actor/writer was in the lobby afterwards to talk to people but I was way too nervous to go up to him in the crowd, I lowkey regret not at least saying he did an amazing job but there’s nothing I can do about that now (curse my anxiety for real)

Anyway Richard Marsh if you’re out there you fucking killed it dude !!

And if anyone is in the Chicago area and wants to see this it’s showing until December 15th and I highly recommend it 👍👍👍

[captain-sodapop]

I know people like to complain about later seasons spn, but without them, we’d have no Charlie, no Kevin. No Donna. No Garth! No Rowena!! No JACK!!! Later seasons spn you will always be special to me.

[abby-splaty]

It's kind of crazy how there have been so many physical Splatoon zines that I now have a stack of them the size of the first two art books!

Just imagining how many I'm missing and how big this pile would be if it included all the digital zines that have happened is nuts to me! Like wow! That is so much work so many people in this community have made!

Anyways I'm plugging the big spreadsheet of Splatoon zines so anyone who sees this can also go appreciate all the cool stuff this community has made!

[icequeenabby]

A bit of encouragement for the bot hunters in the #asexual tag:

There's already been a huge difference! There's not nearly as many bots, so keep up the good work!

Every bot I've seen has a few other random tags on it, so by destroying these bots, we're helping those tags too 💪

Take breaks! Drink water! Then go bash those bots!

I wish tumblr told you if you've been follow someone for like 10+ years like i want to know who i was in the pit of teenage angst with

[the-ships-to-rule-them-all]

Don’t think I don’t notice how many people that follow me engage with my reblogs about pop culture/Judaism in general but refuse to engage with my reblogs about the massive rise in antisemitism that Jews are facing worldwide, even though those posts frequently occur back to back so you all are definitely seeing them.

Fucking support us. Jew Hatred should be something you have a problem with irrespective of your feelings towards Israel.
