#and things marginally improved

[foureyes802]

if i had a dollar for every time i really liked a female character with a doctorate who was a major character in a male-dominated series but ultimately relegated to hypercompetence and also had a jackie kennedy thing going on in her first appearance. well

my boss earlier also sent a slack to everyone to be like “i’m thinking of opening on sundays in the fall if anyone is interested in working those days! :)” and i was like UGH!! and the two new kids of course were like “i would be interested!” since they only both work one-three days a week. and then i spent a good portion of my day fantasizing about how long i could live off my savings if i just quit. maybe SHE can come in and work on sundays

Okay, who kickstarted the return of the Mareach baby fever? Because I logically shouldn’t post even more Expectant/Parent Mareach when I literally just posted one such fic two days ago but DAMMIT NOW I’M IN A MOOD.

…in my defense, for all the crap I’ve posted, I still haven’t given my fankid a name. 😅

i love reading things set in countries that i'm knowledgeable and/or have been to because i can point out really minor errors in fanfiction. i think the average american does not know that in england (and apparently some of asia! which i only just found out) there are switches on power outlets so you can just turn it off instead of unplugging it. like 9 times out of 10 that won't come up but on the off chance it does i'm like ohoho. this clown has never been to england...! my favorite part though is watching americans (specifically americans because i swear to god people who speak english as a second language and/or are from any other country have some idea of what it's like to have an accent / personally know people who have accents? idk) try to write british accents like it is REALLY funny. i literally only lived their for five years and i never picked up a full accent myself (certain words and tones i did but they're mostly gone after living in the states again for a few years) but between living there and having a ridiculous amount of family there & visiting them often (like once a year if im lucky) i like KNOW what british accents sound like. i think some americans genuinely dont even know theres more than one or two english accents i think some people think there's like posh english and chav english and nothing else. maybe scottish accent gets thrown in there if they remember the uk is not in fact just england. i would bet real money they've never heard a welsh accent. anyway my point is it's really funny watching people who don't know as much as i do write this stuff. like i see it and i understand how doctors read this and go Oh that is so medically inaccurate. i get them now. anyway i dont remember what my point here was but please know if you are attempting to write a british accent. reddit and youtube are your best friends if you don't have a british friend you can ask and also rest assured even if you do ONE google search. it will not be the worst attempt ive seen guaranteed

oop. crazy how many people i have unfollowed/blocked today for the cyclical and asinine sentiment along the lines of "well leftists are you HAPPY now????"

girl we've done this 3 elections in a row. definition of insanity to still be blaming this on us especially when the numbers do not support your accusations. like we voted for the fucking war criminals and you STILL lost.

The leftism leaving peoples’ bodies when I tell them that our hypervigilant internet culture which thrives on making callout posts on and cancelling random people for being “problematic” (ie mistakes they intend to learn from, normal parts of growing up they’ll grow out of, shipping something someone doesn’t like, etc) and never giving people second chances is inherently un-leftist

analyzing hermes, emet-selch, the ancients and ascians, how they're written, and the fandom's reaction to them be like hm. emet-selch's role in this fuckery is compounded by the fact that his backstory as a genocide survivor is incongruous with his ruling a huge genocidal colonialist world power in the present da [ANTISEMITISM BLAST]

[hussyknee]

Y'all are all like "let the soft animal of your body love what it loves" until someone likes something you think is cringe or problematic and and then it's "IMAGINE STILL BEING A FAN OF THIS" and "I HOPE YOU DIE".

2022 art summary! 😋

[pom-seedss]

I don't think that a magic button like that would inherently mean structural changes.... Maybe the button gives people whatever they need in the moment to improve their circumstances in the current system. Maybe it is just marginally making people's lives better instead of overhauling the system, and changes in ways that everyone else gets a boost in the current system and literally nothing changes for me what so ever.

I'd still hit the fucking button.

If nothing changes for me, but a homeless person gets accepted into a housing program they'd been waiting for, great. If nothing changes for me, but that struggling university kid gets access to a tutor and helps them pass their classes, great. If nothing changes for me, but a kid finds $5 on the sidewalk and buys themself an ice cream because they had a hard day, great.

I'd hit the button for large changes, I'd hit the button for small changes, I'd hit the button even if the only thing other people got was a bit of respite for a short time.

And even then it would make my life better. Just knowing that I had the power to make everyone's lives a little better, a little easier, a little nicer? At absolutely no cost to myself? I am slamming that button for all it is worth. It would make me feel good to know, that with absolutely minimal effort of pushing a button (something I have been doing this entire post, nothing but a series of button presses!) then I would do it in an instant.

It would feel so good to be able to help so many people with such a simple act. What a power fantasy, seriously.

I will never truly understand the people who would not hit the button, even if nothing changes for them.

I genuinely believe that some people could encounter a button that says “if you push this button everyone in the world has the opportunity to live a better life and your life remains exactly the same” and they would not push it.

They’d be like “well that button’s not fair to me, though,” even though there’s literally no other buttons around and nothing newly bad would happen to them if the button was pushed.

Why Factoring can be a Lifeline for Truckers During Economic Downturns

A lot of truckers are familiar with factoring, but maybe you haven’t thought about how it could be a life saver during economy uncertainty. Everyone’s feeling the pinch with fewer loads, longer wait times, and the unpredictability of when payments are coming in. Right now, cash flow is more important than ever, and factoring could be the thing that keeps your business steady while you ride out…

My life if I wasn't such a picky eater

[dillydedalus]

my office is moving this month so the next few weeks are gonna SUCK but once that's gone i'll have 1) a bigger office, 2) also probably not quite as loud + hot but time will tell, 3) easier commute (same duration but i won't have to change trains), 4) former work bestie in the same building again, 5) generally nicer building, 6) TEMPELHOFER FELD VIEW FROM MY DESK BABY
