Why is it so controversial to want to be able to have a life outside of work? Why is it expected to work extended periods of time with heavy workloads to the point that by the time you get home, you're too pooped to actually do anything? I don't mind working but I don't want it to be my whole life. I want to work to live, not live to work

concept: organized crime in metropolis must be SO good at noise abatement operations. superman shows up and within weeks there’s an arms race for the most silent equipment possible. an absolute run on foam insulation

not at all serious addendum to this concept: clark, at the beginning of his career, is probably not very practiced at perfect filtering. and since superman tries not to listen in on anyone having sex, one gang gets the bright (?) idea as part of their operations to have two of their members LOUDLY hook up outside wherever they’re breaking into in order to make him ‘look’/listen away. this works for a little while but then thorn shows up to kick their asses

Maybe if you people stop treating your coworkers like mindless NPCs or evil incarnate you'd feel less lonely. It wouldn't kill you to talk with and have compassion for the people you work with.

Hey! Slightly different post here, but i feel the need to say something important.

Lovejoy used to be my favourite band, i have been in their top 0.1% of listeners for the past two years. That being said, the frontman is an abusive asstwat.

So, friendly reminder, Spotify(not sure about other music apps) has a feature where you can access audio files from your device through a playlist usually titled 'local files'. If you download videos, or screen record them from youtube and convert them to mp3, they'll show up there. No revenue goes to artists if you listen to their music from a download in your local files, and you can add tracks from your local files into playlists.

if you want to go a step further, you can download the unofficial lyric videos from other youtube accounts, then convert those to mp3 instead of the official one.

You can do this with individual songs, or entire albums. If you have a cd or cassette already, no revenue goes to the artist per listen, so if you like the music just hold onto it imo, and you can usually rip the music from the cd or cassette onto others, or onto a laptop.

The same thing goes in reverse, if there's another album you really like, you can download the mp3 as before, and put it on a blank cd or cassette and decorate the case yourself!

I don't think I can let go of Lovejoy easily, so this is what I'll be doing, and I have such a strong attachment to ycgma and msr that I couldn't give it up. Instead, download and listen to unofficial versions so you can enjoy music without supporting an abusive person who is believed to still be dangerous :D

If Lovejoy comes out with new music, I'm unsure what I'll do then, but the same practice still applies, download from unofficial accounts and listen separately!!! I would fully support joe, mark and ash if they decided that once the tour is over they want to split lovejoy up, though unfortunately i don't think they will, given they have probably witnessed the abuse before and not done anything :/

All this to say, even if the members of your favourite band are shitheads, you can listen to their music if you go through the right processes! Just don't allow for profit to be made <3

I love learning new things at work

Like how men's pants have multiple measurements that are present in the size numbers(i.e. waist measurement - in-seam measurement - (possibly)outer-seam measurement)(plus the size numbers are the actual inch/cm size and not some arbitrary number) AND there are like a lot of different cuts available??? how did I not know this

i also learned that i r e a l l y have no idea what romantic love/attraction is?? and whether or not i experience it?!?

I am so beyond ready to quit this job. Wednesday cannot come fast enough.

If you want to hear something really wild I’m pretty sure my cousin doesn’t get any PTO or benefits (including health insurance!!!) at her full-time job. Which like. I would say is completely wrong (and it is lmao) but she could totally work somewhere else if she wanted to, but she likes the ~vibes~ of this place and thinks they’re good people (it’s a really small, new business). They brought cake for everyone once which my cousin thought was great and I said “I’d rather have insurance than cake” 🤦‍♀️. I wasn’t popular for that one. Anyway that’s my rant lol

this is a reply to something I reblogged several weeks ago but I forgot to respond. anyway yea the job market in the US is appalling in many ways. no PTO for full time is horrendous even by our standards though. I hope she gets out of there

Happy to see you on tumblr! I love your fic and am excited for the ones in preparation 😄.

Thank you so much! Also, I'm taking this as an excuse to spoil part of the I don't know if I'll post it as chapters or a series of one-shots one that I have on the go that isn't the Lust Conquers All one because I've been keeping it to myself far too much

(Also, I'm gonna put the excerpts under a read more because they're not smut but there is certainly Jamie saying some vivid things to try to talk Roy into going for his totally foolproof idea)

Okay, I'm gonna put a long chunk from near the start because how much can you really spoil the very start of a fic???

And I’m going to spoil more to give an idea of where it’s going beyond just another fic where they hook up in Amsterdam

And one more baby chunk from later on

(Also, they're definitely going to fall into the if this happens in the game, then this happens after thing and it's all going to be fun and games at first until the first part doesn't happen during a game and Roy still tries to hook up with Jamie and Jamie's down for doing stuff for Roy but like no, I didn't earn that about stuff for him and Roy ends up concerned and taking care of his not boyfriend and having to rethink some things)
