Dutch wasn’t jealous of Bessie. Bessie was like his weird co-wife, she was the sister he never had, they got along better than Dutch & Hosea themselves some days. No, Dutch was jealous of that boy who swept the floors at the quaker church Hosea grew up attending, even though Dutch never met him, even though he didn’t even know Hosea’s name, because it was him who made Hosea realize he wanted men and Dutch can never claim that for himself. So Dutch will always be jealous. And Hosea wasn’t jealous of Annabelle! Because Hosea didn’t meet Annabelle until after Bessie died. He didn’t have the mental space to consider her anything but One Of Dutch’s Girls amidst all that grief, no matter how strong a personality Annabelle was. You know who Hosea was jealous of, around that time? The veteran turned bounty hunter who took Dutch “captive” while he was having a manic episode, who Dutch fucked a couple dozen times before Hosea came to rescue him. Because Dutch formed an intense connection with another man in the middle of the most difficult period of Hosea’s life, and Hosea can’t even say what that connection really looked like, since he only has Dutch’s word to go off of. So yeah. Hosea was a little bitter. Even after he blew off the primo pipelayer’s head.

Saw this up on a light post and thought it was fake but nope, pipelayers 69 is the actual name/number combo for a real union local.

It was organized in 2020 though so maybe someone did it intentionally? Either way it's hilarious.

"i cant wait to get out of retail and have an office job" or you could be a hairstylist or a fisherman or a teacher or a pipelayer or a bartender or a phlebotomist or a truck driver or an exterminator or a massage therapist or a cook or a stripper

whys everyone in my notes acting like office work is the only alternative to retail. "well its boring but its better than retail" you realize youre not saying anything at all because getting beaten with a stick for 40 hours a week would also be better than retail right. that is not a high bar. there are a lot of other jobs in the world for people to do.
