#for EVERY black or brown person

[brencerlove]

Truth, I think Brendon fucked up but those of you who are going back years and years to find something. I honestly wonder do you actually care or are you just wanting to join in on hating. It makes the concern about important issues seem performative. People should be allowed to grow, people learning every day, there’s difference between people who are straight up bigots and ppl who said dumb things when they were young.

Boy do I got news for you if you're shocked and appalled that the United States is willing to maim and kill its own populace to maintain global power

I’ve seen it way too much now for me not to point it out— why are ppl drawing Hobie’s lips so thin?

They literally look like THIS

ADD VOLUME. I’m BEGGING.

Whenever I see a user with a whole row of badges and rainbow checkmarks I immediately know their blogs are full of the most passively racist condescending white liberal shit known to humankind.

What's a fanon characterization of your favorite character that you don't like?

[cyarsk52-20]

what i hate is that ppl tried to play this as ohhh sympathy this sympathy that, BTCH SHE WAS GETTING TORMENTED! Like she was called a DEMON! for getting shot.. her mom just died and she didn’t have any other family members to support her like these ppl are evil

the way men band behind abusers is fucking evil like you really can't trust any of them I'm sick

patriarchy is Femicide

Misogyny is Femicide

Misogynoir is Femicide

the worst part of all of this is that the tory fans and men in the industry were almost happy to become extensions of tory’s abuse. y’all literally helped him abuse her. i will NEVER forget that.

diddy, Chris brown, LeBron: I hope you burn in hell and the same goes for everyone else who dehumanize her to slut out for her abuser and tormentor!

Megan is too kind for me I would have turned into a serial murderer

like I would’ve crashed out sooooo bad like all those niggas who have been exposed would be dead

☕️ the most important qualities for a sports venue to have, other than the obvious

thank you for asking, i completely forgot to do these yesterday and today i was beset by the agonies of the flesh, but with chinese take out we are rallying. anyway thank you for asking i have so many opinions

first of all, you need to have a place where i can acquire a latte or iced tea, ideally by a local chain. oracle ballpark? peet's, elite. sap center? VOYAGER, ELITE. ya boy NEEDS a cafe beverage to bear witness to the horrors. ideally with oatmilk or soy milk options. voyager was all vegan drinks, literally so joy-inducing at the end of the hockey season.

also. and i mention this bc yes it's obvious but SO many venues fail the assignment: gender neutral/family bathrooms. and they need to be well designated and very easy to find. i literally never figured out if sap center had them. i was fighting for my mortal life in that arena.

ALSO, and ik this is youth worker kas coming thru, but i do think you need a children's play area. hot take, every arena for every sport needs this idc who your target audience is, there will ALWAYS be parents with young children in attendance and the children will ALWAYS get wiggly and bored. make your arena accessible for parents and families!! it's not hard!! techcu isn't big but they tucked a children's play area in one of the corners on the concourse. they had giant wooden games and a woman doing face paint on weekends and the street team hanging out with the kids. the kids could make signs on barracuda-branded poster board and i always thought that was so cool, esp bc then you'd get to see 4yos holding up poster boards with giant scribbles on them during the game. like i wish EYE could hold up abstract art to tell the cuda how they make me feel. bay fc does this really well and has a lot of stuff for kids -- in fact, last bay fc game i went to, one of the corporate sponsors set up a little activities course the kids and that was so fun!! it tears me up when teams are like "we start em young 😌" and then provide no play area for young kids. like it's such low-hanging fruit to make your venues accessible to everyone.

also i think it's really funny that techcu makes their teams walk through the concourse and that paypal park makes their teams walk over the concourse on a sky bridge. i think more teams should do that bc it's really funny. like a little parade of flops.

and finally, i think if teams are really committed to local entrepreneurs they would invite the danger dogs vendors to every arena. obviously the bay area is good at this but i got really scared at the phillies' ballpark bc there were NO STREET HOT DOGS after the games. i don't know if it's a weather thing or the fact that there were only like five brown people at the game or if it's not of east coast culture to have street hot dogs after the games or what. but i think it's an integral part of the live sports experience to take your life in your hands and eat a street hot dog after a game and every arena should provide that experience.

[deathsmallcaps]

I work as the person in an amusement park who watches the children who get lost. Here’s some advice. This also applies to any mentally disabled adults that are under your care. Keep in mind that many places will not look for a minor ages 13-17 unless it is close to closing or they are disabled, as corporate considers it a strain on resources and employee use.

1. Teach them your phone number. Best gift you can give them. I’m not supposed to have my phone out at work but I can cut down dependent’s being-lost-time by probably 400% if I can contact you. It also assures the children That We Are Doing Something and that They Are Helpful and Smart. If your dependent has a poor memory, apparently writing your phone number in sharpie and then covering it in nail polish makes it stay all day, even if they’re sweaty or getting in the water. I haven’t tested this but I’ve heard a lot of moms recommend it. I’ve also seen bracelets with little plates or the beads saying the phone number.

Addendum: your dependent may tell you that they know your phone number, but they actually only know your passcode. True story. This summer has been a lot better, but last summer exactly one child the entire season knew his mom’s phone number.

2. Acknowledge that dependent’s memories are faulty, especially in new places. If you tell them to meet you in X spot or that your stuff is all in Y place, they may not remember where it is or remember how to get there.

3. All dependents, but especially little ones, have shit time sense. They might find your stuff, wait there for a minute or two, and truly believe that they’ve been there for an hour. Half the small kids that are brought to me are ones who *know* where their stuff is, but haven’t seen an adult they know personally in 5 minutes, so they’re going to panic.

4. Don’t take naps!!! And don’t let your dependent go anywhere you can’t go or at least go where you catch them at the end!!! Yes you’re staring at the play structure your dependent entered, but can you see them? No? Then there’s a good chance they went elsewhere. So many of the littler kids that are brought to me are brought by genuine, good-hearted strangers who see lost children and take them by the hand. Away from the spot you’re napping in front of/staring vaguely at.

5. This might just be something from my work, but we will not call dependent’s descriptions over the loudspeaker. This is because if an asshole were to see your dependent, hear the description, know it’s a lost dependent, and decide to steal it, they can then use the excuse, “I know where your guardian is! Come with me!” And then lead them out of the park or toss the dependent over their shoulder. Do you know how many crying and screaming dependents leave the location every day? A lot!!! We’re a fun location!!! We’re not going to know if the dependent is screaming because they don’t want to leave or if a stranger is taking them away. We might call the description over the loudspeaker if it’s past closing time and the dependent still isn’t found. But before that, we will only report it over secure radios across the park.

6. Tell a park worker right away. Preferably someone with a radio. Even if you spot the dependent within the next minute, that means the dependent will have less being-lost time. Especially if we already have the dependent with, you guessed it, me. Also please tell us when you find the dependent.

7. Take a picture of your depdendent at the start of the day! That way security guards can have a good idea of what to look for. One mother told me her daughter was blonde and showed me a picture. Her hair color looked brown to me, but then I knew what to look for in the crowd.

8. Keep at least one person in your group in one spot at all times, especially if you don’t have access to your phone or forgot to give out your phone number to the guards. That way they can find you if they pick up the dependent. If you are the only person in your group, then PLEASE stay in one place or at least stay with ONE security guard. It sucks for the dependent if they can’t find you right away even if the both of you are looking for each other and a guard is helping them. You are NOT helping if you panic and run around. And keep your goddamn phone on you and answer calls from unknown numbers!!!!! God. This is a good time to do that.

9. If you lose your dependent in an attraction like the lazy river at a water park, and you have that ONE person staying in place, then this is what you can do with 1+ mobile people.

A. If only one person can be spared to be mobile, have them pick a spot and stay right there, watching the river go by. Eventually, if the dependent is in the river, they’ll go by.

B. If you have two people that can be mobile, both start at the same place in the river and go opposite directions. If you meet up again without spotting the dependent, well, they’re not there.

C. If you have more than 2 people, you can do B but also station different adults at the lazy river entrances/exits.

10. Don’t blame the dependent! Even if they ran away and/or are pissy that you’re upset once you all reunite, trust me, there’s a 99% chance they’re upset too. Yes, this is a good time to have a serious conversation with them. Yes, if this is a repeated problem, and/or you warned them you’d leave the park if this occurred, you should not back down. But also - they’re dependents. They’re not stupid, and they should be told consequences and dangers so they can make good decisions, but they will never have the adult/guardian perspective that you do. Be kind.

Also please for my sake teach them if they’re brought to someone like me, that it’s THEIR job to be safe and listen to me while us park workers look for you. It’s YOUR job to find the dependent, not the dependent’s job to find you. I had a six year old little girl genuinely toddler-howl at me because she wanted to go look for her mom. I’ve never before heard a kid her age howl like that. I can trick kids out of crying 9/10 times but howling came as a surprise lmao. I think I can manage it now that I’ve experienced it but damn.

Also make sure those kids are DRINKING. Being in a water park is NOT the same as drinking water. They should be drinking every 15 minutes at LEAST, I am NOT kidding.

Also if I call you to tell you your kid is here, please don’t call or text me back after you have the kid. I’m sure other places have phones for these types of things but the only one I have is my personal phone. And I am happy to get the kid off my hands and into your arms, but I’m using my personal phone so plz. Don’t call me back. Absolutely call me if you need directions to my ‘office’ in the park. Don’t call or text me after. I have stories about that hoo boy but this post is already long.

[cherrysnax]

and maybe im sensitive and maybe im easily agitated and maybe im reminded how little of us it really is on this website but seeing white mfs call this place the white website without a sense of irony or shame is pissing me off

[epic-the-musical-confessions]

I feel like people kinda need to chill about epic. Like this is meant to be a fun musical adaptation, not the most accurate Homeric canon compliant thing ever. And- hot take here- you don’t have to be a damn literature professor to enjoy media. Yeah there are tons of kids on here that honestly have no clue about the themes of the story or which characters are good or bad, but that doesn’t automatically mean they’re racist or sexist or “defending sexual assault.” maybe they’re just. people who haven’t taken a literature analysis class because they’re 7th graders, and they see a hot evil white Guy and go “he’s my babygirl!” nothing wrong with that. They’re kids having fun. And I’m saying this as someone who relates to the story of the original Odyssey very deeply, and I write analysis of the morals characters in the story with regards to actual Ancient Greek customs and values for fun. leave the kids who are being just a little stupid about this story alone

[tariah23]

This Latina lady just came up to me complaining about the outcome and how her daughter and son couldn’t even get out of bed and were crying all night- (I was smiling at first and asked her how she was doing and she replied “shitty-“ and started going in- and even though idgaf, I know that sm others so do like I’m not about to laugh in another brown persons face for being emotional even though it is what it is 😭.)

[girlscience]

I hate getting into something that has a canon(ish) sapphic couple, but I only end up caring about one of the two women 😭😭😭

[underwater-i-will-go]

hello everyone 🍬

friend did my hair last night and i like it. please ignore the photo of nick pope. it's just there for some reason.

[pa-pa-plasma]

growing up ace/aro is so funny because you spend all your time thinking that just being able to acknowledge someone is conventionally attractive or "hot" is sexual or romantic attraction & then one day someone hits you with the "I would actually date/have sex with this person & would change my behaviour/life to do so" & you're like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt???
