Hey, you know what actually? I'm not having a good time and if you're gonna call me privileged for my abuse then I'm just gonna put you on blast.

I have nothing productive to say other than "lmao" and "fuck you"

Hello - I saw an ask about Mackintosh and you asked if someone knew anything about him and John Owen-Jones. I think the anon was referring to him not inviting JOJ and Rebecca Caine for a Les Mis celebration and not casting JOJ for neither Les Mis 25 and POTO 25. He also blacklisted Rebecca Caine. Imo JOJ deserved and should have played the phantom in the RAH concert. I think he only cast JOJ for the POTO Restaged Tour because otherwise no one would go see that rubbish production. I also think it was blatant sexism of his part not casting Rebecca Caine and Frances Ruffelle for the 10th anniversary concert of Les Mis when he did cast the three original male leads.

Sorry for the rant.

Um, I knew about the beef between Rebecca Caine and CamMack but she does show up in Les Mis celebrations, mainly because it would be a bit weird to not invite her? Look no further than the 20th anniversary celebration. As for the 10th anniversary, the lady playing Cosette was Judy Kuhn, who was in the original cast for the Broadway production and is a an amazing performer in her own right, while Lea Salonga was a rising star at the time and they probably went for her in order to also attract the audience that were fans of her through Miss Saigon. They made an effort for the 10th anniversary concert to have people from various productions in it - Colm Wilkinson and Michael Ball were from West End, Judy Kuhn, Lea Salonga and Michael Maguire were from Broadway, Philip Quast from Australia (and not one of the original three male leads, that was Roger Allam), and so on. So I'm not sure what you mean by "blatant sexism". There's also the fact that both Rebecca Caine and Frances Ruffelle were on tour for other projects, so maybe they felt like doing that instead of doing Les Mis all over again.

And you can think JOJ "deserved" to be in the Les Mis 25th anniversary concert or the POTO 25th anniversary concert all you want, don't get me wrong (I would have preferred him to Ramin myself tbh), but maybe he wasn't in the Les Mis concert given he was in the UK tour at the time (so, you know, busy), and maybe he wasn't in in the RAH concert because he was in the West End production of POTO (so, again, busy). While we're at it, why was it Sierra Boggess instead of Sofia Escobar? Why was it Hadley Fraser instead of Killian Donnelly? And the list goes on.

As for the restaged tour, I'm not a fan of it by any means, but I think it's not about trapping poor JOJ into having to perform it, but more about CamMack casting people who had already played the roles and who were generally well-liked by the audience - not just JOJ, but also Earl Carpenter, Katie Hall, Simon Bailey. The idea when you're having a supposedly revamped tour is to attract people to come and see it, and putting in well-known names usually helps with the box office, right? You know it's not usually a sign that the product will be bad, right? Josh Groban was stunt casting for The Great Comet of 1812 but that doesn't mean that producers thought the product was going to be bad and that Groban was going to be the only thing attracting audiences, ya know. A big help? Yeah. But not a sign that they didn't trust the product at all.

Side note, and I apologize in advance if I'm mistaken, but if you're one of those people who's been constantly sending asks to other POTO blogs about JOJ, for the love of God, please leave me alone. I'm not going to gift stuff with JOJ and especially not with all the badgering going on.

as i grow older and age in fandom especially, i have waning patience for 2012 style fandom wars. i don't have time for the type of person who goes "why is this the 2nd top ship on ao3 when it bugs me", i don't have the energy to be friends with people who go "i specifically expressed dislike for this ship and people still write it?" and i have absolutely no time for someone who goes "this very personal trauma i have projected onto this random character and ship should be recognized and agreed by everyone else, otherwise they're bad people"

Honestly pokemon is the ideal universe not just because there’s cute animals that are your life companions, but because they have walkable cities and adequate biking infrastructure

I agree that "in Germany your boss legally has to provide you with work while you're at your job" is a bit funny considering the German stereotype. But I am really annoyed at people who act like this is some horrible hypercapitalist thing on that post about pushing people out of their jobs by just not giving them anything to do. When really it's very basic worker protection (within the context of German emplyment law.) Because under most circumstances you can't just be fired from your job. Your employer has to provide a reason for firing you if they want to get rid of you. You also have a right to specifially the work you were hired to do.

So your boss having to give you appropriate work makes illegal any of the following:

a) Making you clean toilets instead of (or in addition to) the clearly defined office job you agreed to do

b) Not giving you work and then firing you for not doing your work

c) Waiting for you to crack under the intense boredom of having to stay on one place with absolutely nothing to do for eight hours a day while your coworkers are roped into it to shun you (or hate you because for some reason you're the only one who doesn't have to do any work) until you quit "voluntarily"

or d) waiting for you to crack under the aformentioned pressure until you do what the people in the notes said they'd do, like watching movies or doing a second job instead which is something you then can be reprimanded and fired for

I wish people understood more that animals go through puberty just like people do, and that "teen" animals will have new and often unpleasant behaviors as they grow and try and figure out their place in the world.

Many of the animals I see being rehomed are right at the one to two year old mark, when maturity is still an ongoing process and their behaviors get more intense. Be patient with them! They DO grow out of it!

Aster was a holy terror until he was almost 3 and now he's the best cat I've ever owned. If you can't deal with these changes, adopt a mature animal instead of getting a puppy or kitten, because it's more likely than not they will have a turbulent teen phase.
