Whenever someone says "This would kill a Victorian child." Or "This would kill a medieval peasant." I have to think about Machete. Would he... would he survive eating a Dorito?

can we please have more haunted asylum house stories please

The funniest thing about the asylum is that it's not even the spookiest place I've stayed at tho it does get those extra points bc I had to live there for a year also we didn't know it used to be an asylum when we moved in we had to find out via history book about historical buildings in our county and the picture they used was the front of the house with two 1800s kids standing in front which I'm pretty sure just is the start of a horror movie but yeah the asylum was your basic creepy place at one point I heard horses in the stables despite us not having horses when we lived at that house at one point I was in the house alone and the tap started running and the dog we had at the time refused to go upstairs you know classic stuff

It's been like one week since I woke up to the US election results and I am already so tired of people, mostly cis people, loudly posting about how trans Americans Have To Get Their Shit Together Today, Right Now. Change your name! Change your gender markers! Get a passport! nobody seems to understand that we are all broke

If you’re looking for paper hardcopy resources to have on hand in the USA before online facts start changing, I highly recommend both of these books.

Clearly laid out and wide ranging. Lots of timelines and broad (not covering up the past) perspectives.

i have a lot of weird memories from my first job out of college but one i come back to constantly is the time my boss took me out to dinner to celebrate something—my one year anniversary maybe? we were a SMALL ass company—and we ordered wine and she was this whole like fancy wine connoisseur or whatever (she THOUGHT) and the poor waitress brought out our wine in stemless glasses and my boss was SO APPALLED that she actually asked for a stemmed glass and the poor waitress has to be like, “ma’am we had an accident with our wine glasses earlier and all the stemless ones fell off the shelf onto me and broke” and my boss had to huffily drink her wine from a stemless glass and she asked me “isn’t this weird to you? doesn’t it make it taste poorly?” and i has to tell her, “im 23. i literally drink all my wine from solo cups.” and i’d never seen her so appalled in my life

so far in the hell apartment i live in:

- there’s an old vent from the victorian era when the house was originally built that leads to a disused chimney that is full of bats. i have had to get rabies shots due to a bat bite from when my old roommate’s cat caught a bat that wandered in

- the shower water was electrified at one point. not the shower faucet. the water itself. the landlord called a plumber and electrician and neither of them could figure out exactly what is going wrong so they regrounded some shit and said “¯\_(ツ)_/¯ good luck”

- the wood panel that they had to cut away from the shower to get at its innards is now blocking the bat hole, along with a shitty packing tape cover job that i put on there before the wood panel.

- there’s a decomp stain in the bathtub. i have tried everything to scrub it off more than it already has been but it is very much a stain so it’s not going anywhere. her name is susan and she’s our third roommate. she doesn’t do much and never bothers anybody so it’s fine.

- the city finally condemned the shed out behind the house, which is great because its so collapsed in some places that you can see through it to the back alley, and it’s full of rats because the rest of the block has been gutted and renovated since i moved in, so all of the local rats have been funneled into this damn shed. the local stray cats are a big fan of this, i am much less of a fan of it

- the electrical outlets keep breaking. last night i tried to use my blender and found that i couldn’t because the reset switch that controls the outlet i was trying to use was broken, like the spring mechanism had broken through the plastic button and out of the wall.

- the old dryer used to shriek constantly when in use. the new dryer worked for a couple of months but now the circuitry that makes the heating element work is fried so we can only use it to air dry shit, which takes all day. at least it doesn’t shriek though

google diy hrt wiki

it’s safe and accessible, please consider starting testosterone ❤️

This anon is bait btw. Only posting it to let y’all know to pls don’t post about DIY T if that’s smth you’re interested in.

While I don’t recommend doing it, if you plan on doing so you NEED to be as private as possible and you need to keep that shit to yourself.

T is a federally controlled substance so if you’re found distributing it or recreating it yourself you could be sentenced to serious jail time and I’m not exaggerating.

Pls stay safe and don’t fall for bait. Especially rn. People are gunning for us rn, we gotta make sure we stay safe and keep things secure.

I wish I could summon a servant, so they could cook and find my lost stuff, while I go to the pharmacy, go shower, eat, go work my afternoon shift, and have them put a gun to my head because of how messy one of the corners of my room is.

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME BURROWS END WASNT FREE

[laf-outloud]

So following the photo payment deans (see Anna Kunerkster on twitter) it seems the photographer WAS compensated and she feels it was fair and met her wishes, but her photographer friends how found out what she was paid and thinks it was a bad deal.

I was obviously not involved so I can't say definitively but I have a few issues with how this played out. This is what Anna had to say about it (today, after letting everything go on yesterday for way too long tbh):

No one stole my joy over the album cover. Everyone was so supportive and excited for me. Those pushing for fandom artist to be paid fairly didn’t steal my joy, I believe fandom artist should get paid what they think is fair. I was compensated in ways that I feel was fair TO ME. So please know what I think is fair compensation for my own work is not the same as what others do. Everyone wants to get more out of a deal, whether it’s a business deal or a sale at a grocery store, but I personally am done talking about my compensation for this project. Thanks

Ok, so she's happy with it?? Cool. But she only says she was "compensated in ways that feel fair TO ME" which personally I think still sounds like she wasn't actually paid (and that lines up with what her friends were saying yesterday). It doesn't sound like she was saying she received a fair amount in payment, it sounds like her compensation was something that was mot monetary ('in ways that feel fair' sounds like it was something other than money). And that was what her friends (who specifically said they were in contact with her about it) were complaining about - she did not get paid for her work. I read a lot of the tweets from her friends yesterday and they all said the same thing, she wasn't paid. Now maybe she got free merch, or got a free M&G or something like that and she's fine with that but I can absolutely see why others don't think its fair.

Just a couple where it makes it sound more like she was promised exposure and one where they specifically say they know she wasn't compensated fairly and that the compensation should have been agreed upon before usage (sounds like RC decided to use it then asked later). There are a LOT more tweets like these out there.

Again, I don't know the details of the situation but how upset her friends were yesterday while still trying to be happy for her? Tells me they know she wasn't fairly compensated but she's too blinded by her obsession with him to realize it. If she's fine with it and agreed to whatever she got? Ok I guess. But a starstruck fan is much more likely to accept a subpar deal just to work with their faves and it still does not make the situation fair or right. Just saying.

Yeah, if she wants to consider it good, that's great for her, but RC and other photographers know what a professional photo for an album cover should cost. Therefore, it still sounds like RC took advantage of an over-eager fan who was willing to part with their work for far less than they would have had to pay a professional.

"But a starstruck fan is much more likely to accept a subpar deal just to work with their faves and it still does not make the situation fair or right." Exactly!
