One more dragged into the Six of Crows found family hell. No one is normal here.

I just wanna know if anyone else has this problem or it’s just me. I haven’t eaten very many Takis in my life for reasons being I’m not a big fan of spicy foods, I’d rather eat sour things. Well.. I’ve tried a Taki recently, after being told I have acid reflux problems and I probably SHOULDN’T eat Takis, but who cares what the doctors say? My throat burned so bad and for the rest of my Writing class I was just choking on a blue Taki, good times.

shoutout to the guy who after unsuccessfully hitting on my sister and being politely declined asked her "is it okay if i ask your brother instead" and when she said yes gave me a long and searching look before sighing and going "no. i am not drunk enough to go for a dude. but you look like an angel" happy bisexual pride to this man and this man only. hope you figure it out soon king

I keep seeing people use this image as a reaction to people's original posts:

Which I think is really incorrect, because with an original post they haven't come up to ur window, u've come up to their window.

So I made this, as a more accurate reaction for original posts:

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

Thinking about my mom and I arguing on Christmas cuz she thinks customer service workers are rude and should show her more empathy.

Thinking about the customers who have been angry at me for saying "I'm alright", or not agreeing to a date, or calling the number they gave me, or saying happy holidays, or or or...

Thinking about the customers who have yelled at me cuz they didnt hear me say hello to them. Even when I did.

(Tho that shouldnt matter if I did or not)

Thinking about the customer who asked the women around him if we'd ever had corn on the con eaten our of our asses.

Thinking about the customer who has said, on multiple occasions, that he has mistletoe in his car. Its just right there, come on, join me. And Laughed, cuz it's just a joke.

Wishing that maybe some customers showed us a little more empathy when we're not 100% perfect. Maybe You were polite, but We are tired. Exhaustion does not equal rudeness or disrespect. Maybe we didn't say your welcome, maybe we didnt gush with you about your holiday recipe, maybe we didnt smile quick enough. But please, we're so tired.

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

in case you're wondering what the greatest AMV of all time is, it's this one from 2008.

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?

Palestinian men should not have to repeatedly hold up pictures of their family struggling through a genocide, for us to care about them. Fundraisers conducted by/for Palestinian men, should not have to repeatedly refer to their mothers, sisters, wives and children, to make us realize their humanity, their vulnerability. Enough. Isn't it enough after so many months? Hadn't it always been enough?
