petty school bullshit sorry and i will sound even more immature than usual due to lack of sleep but i want to throttle my uni counselor so bad i didn't spend weeks of non stop reading about how shit and deregulated the mining industry is only for you to say "but you have to make a realistic thesis, the rules exist and mining companies do try to follow them, you could make a thesis about how to nicely accompany them in best practices :)" i hate this environment school and its absolute absence of backbone and its constant discouraging of students to have a political lens when it comes to the environment

like yeah i can't write a thesis starting with "it's shit." what i can do tho is not give an ugly ass business school veneer when addressing a very serious environmental issue that especially affects indigenous people and marginalized communities

As far as I’m concerned, seeing booth after booth staffed by independent artists celebrating queer people is one of the greatest perks of Pride celebrations. Where else can I go to find a group of sellers like this? Where else would they be targeting their wares in such a way? What other opportunities can I have to directly support so many local artists, many of them queer themselves, at the same time? There may exist queer-focused artisan’s galleries, but they I can’t imagine that they get nearly as much widespread attention as Pride.

One of the things that Pride should be about is community, and part of having a strong community is supporting each other. Letting small businesses rent booths at Pride is a natural extension of that.

So let's talk about this for a minute.

First of all, how do you think Pride events fund themselves and stay free for attendees? O.o Vendor fees aren't all of it - a lot of money comes from sponsors - but like... we paid $1300 to vend at Seattle Pride this year. That's the money that pays the people who work to make Pride happen. That is not free. Pride as an event does not just magically happen. A lot of people work really hard to make Pride happen and to clean up after it.

We're a small trans-owned company and 100% of our employees are trans & queer. We jokingly refer to Pride as "Gay Christmas". The money we make during Pride means we stay open, Pride events get vendor fees, and our employees get paid for the rest of the year. This company does not exist without Pride events. The only reason we survived as a company during COVID is because my wife has a stable, good IT job.

This shit isn't free to do. It does not just magically happen. Performers need to get paid. Tech crew needs to get paid. Equipment needs to be rented for performers. Stages need to be rented. Electrical services need to be paid for so food can happen. Ice and water cost money. Trash pickup costs money.

A lot of people volunteer and donate, but festivals and big community events? They cost money, and the money we pay to be able to vend is part of how Pride events happen. Without that, small queer businesses like @nerdykeppie don't survive and the only people putting their money in to make this happen, AND MONEY NEEDS TO CHANGE HANDS FOR EVENTS TO HAPPEN, are Smirnoff and fucking Wells Fargo.

For fuck's sake. Y'all want small queer businesses, but you really don't want us to actually survive, do you?

I'm like 90% sure you haven't answered this before, but sorry in case you have, lol. What was DU drow’s motivation for stopping Shadowheart from killing the Nightsong? He seems to not really like pushing her one way or another, so is it basically the same way he felt about Astarion ascending?

He didn't stop her. Shadowheart spared Aylin of her own merit without his intervention🤷‍♂️

DU drow had no reason to get in her way. He finds this Shar junk extremely self-defeatist, but their friendship has always been based around not-getting-into-each-other's-businesness. He still wanted Shadowheart to fullfil her desires and fully expected her to follow through with the Nightsong's sacrifice - her change-of-heart was a shock for him as much as everyone else, but he was ultimately relieved about it. He kinda knew this small kindling of a friendship would have likely vanished otherwise. After sparing Aylin, they became much closer.

If anything, Shadowheart's actions served to further cement his choice both in resisting his father and pushing against Astarion's plan to ascend. So she was more the catalyst for his future actions rather than the other way around.

Hey Lovelies! @blakbonnet was kind enough to explain to me the little lovely letter game going on here on tumblr, and I think it is the coolest and sweetest thing! 😭😭😭 I'm trying to participate too but i'm gonna be a little slow! Sorry for the delays! Today got away with me!

But seriously, how damn awesome are all of you sending love like that!?!?! You're just opening up and sending and receiving love, and I feel like it's 100% what we all need right now (and helping some folks normally nervous to get some love!). It's just incredibly heartwarming, and I wanted to say how happy it made me to see it.

This post is getting insanely long so I'm gonna cut off here tonight, but I wanted to share something lovely our lovely Pirate Queen Ruibo Qian shared on IG. -- I adore all our mutual weirdness and imperfections and there's no other people I'd rather be weird and imperfect with than you all :) Good night and good day lovelies!

I think all busineses (except actually essential ones) should be closed on Sunday. Not just to give workers a break but everyone in general. Normalize relaxing at home at least one day of the week. At least.

When my grandmother lived in Spain she said most businesses were closed on Sunday. Idk if it's still like thay there (this was under fascism but nonetheless a rare W)

[deesi-academia]

USA really is retrogressing right now and it's so funny to be a spectator tbh.

The world is fighting for queer rights and the Supreme Court goes on to say busineses can reject working for queer people if they want to.

The biggest most helpful step in education of a population was canceling student debts and oooh the Supreme Court said the president trying to improve American lives was unconstitutional.

They say "lives matter" but oops no abortions allowed and gun laws are practically non-existent.

IM SORRY THE "FIRST WORLD" COUNTRY AMERICA IS SO FUNNY RIGHT NOW.

（︶︿︶）I fucking hate this kind businese bad guys╭∩╮If they meet me I will absolutely bring the bad guys to justice and take them to the police. I'm so pissed off!!!

Women are forced to have sex with tea plantation managers in order to work in Lipton tea, PG Tips (Unilever) and Finlay’s tea (supplies Tesco, Sainbury’s and Starbucks). The issue is clearly systemic and wide spread. I don’t buy tea from these brands but I will definitely double check the ethical standards and transparency of the supply chain when I make a purchase.

Get it?! Lan~*

[ophernelia]

you ONLY grew up around black poeple? how?

Chicago is very segregated. Out south and out west is primarily black. Exclusively so when I was growing up. Most times you won’t see people of other races unless you go to certain stores or busineses. Or if they’re gentrifying the area. Or if the corn man is around, but I haven’t seen much of him in years.

Day 7 - Perth

Today I rested and explored Perth. My first impression of Perth was underwhelming. There were some nice old stone buildings but nothing jazzed me. After wandering around town today, I've completely changed my opinion. It's a beautiful town (locals claim that it's the most beautiful town in Ontario) with historic stone buildings, influential Canadians that have lived here, art, culture and most importantly, food.

Town hall built 1863 - 1864.

The Matheson House built in 1840 is a great example of the stone architecture in Perth.

Homes dating back to about 1820 & 1850.

The Tay River runs through town supporting Stewart Park and busineses.

Art and culture is everywhere with flowers, murals, and theatre.

It wasn't until I was thirsty and hungry that I found the hidden gems of Perth. Perth is a "foodie find". The town has 2 craft breweries (making excellent beer, personally verified), a coffee roastery, numerous cafes, and unique restaurants. I think that if I stayed a couple more days, I'd discover more culinary gems and love Perth even more.

Fun story. I stopped into North Folk Cafe to buy some kombucha. I got talking to the server, Damon, and found out that he had a gravel bike and he rides the Trans Canada Trail. He's had trips through Waterloo, Lindsay, Haliburton, and a number of towns that I've spent time in. We compared notes on trail quality and lamented how portions of it have been torn up by ATBs. I later learned that his wife was Mexican, he's studying Spanish, and he visits Mexico every year. It was crazy to learn that we have been living in a parallel universe. I expect to see him again.

no because like heres the thing right i know i havent shut up abt hunchback for the past like,,,6 months but i wanna make it clear that i dont,,,support disney or anything??? and i know that hypocritical and contradictory to say because i regularly post about the musical which is also owned by disney. i dont support shit like that? i think theyre just money hungry and like,,idk man fuck the industry.

i also dont support or at the very least look forward to the new remake. its laughable because the productions put on by disney have a penchant for having tone problems. this was an issue in the 90′s, it was an issue with the musical and it will be an issue when the remake comes out. you cant disney-fy hunchback because its not a happy story. thats why the cartoon didnt work thematically speaking. the musical was a lot better because it strayed from the happy ending, but it still stuck to the altered disney plot, which doesnt work bc??? thats not how hunchback works? like you cant have both, either change it completely or just make a dark movie oh my god the world wont end. i just think its funny that the conclusion they’ve come to is “ah! lets make another remake of a movie that has historically not done well and is part of a series of remakes that are generally critically badly received. because we’re disney.” 

idk man i think it’s kind of fucked, can’t wait to see the one token poc female actress in hollywood they choose to play esmerelda, and if lin manuel miranda ends up playing clopin i might snap a pencil. 

fuck big busineses, fuck the rich, support local creators, and cast a different goddamn performer every once in a while for christs sake.

LOOK FOR THEIR BUSINESES

LOOK FOR CONTACTS

PEOPLE THEY FREQUENT

EITHER THAT OR TRAP THEM HOME

IF THEY TRAP THEMSELVES HOME IT'S THE SAFE GAME AND THEY ARE DESTROYING EVIDENCE

MAYBE NOT THEM BUT CONTACTS
