one of my favorite senarios to imagine to put yukio in is sending him 10 years into the future (with the exwires usually) and everyone from their class are like chill adults including himself working their boring ass exorcist job and hes trying to assert dominance over them as the teacher™ but they're all like bro why so serious?

Klara: "Okay but explain quickly, I still need to finish my workout."

Toby, who just came to explain something he found related to Klara's work, but has now lost his train of thought: "Um. 😳"

(based on the idea i've had abt something that happens in the beginning of their friendship teeheeee)

Can't even mention that a store near me is clearly using abusing the TFW program because they refuse to pay little more than minimum wage in a high cost of living area (also you won't get benefits and you'll only be part-time) because the fascists and right-wingers will jump in to say it's about immigration and white replacement.

No, it's because rich white people want to hoard even more money and found an intentional loophole to both make more money (via paying employees less) and also have more power over employees, employees who may or may not know Canadian employment laws (or safety laws) and even if they do, don't have the ability or support to try to hold the company accountable.

You can absolutely criticize the federal government for keeping the loophole open but it predates Trudeau by decades and it was Harper who both expanded the program and added a way for companies to fast-track TFWs. It was also under Harper that companies started firing Canadians (or not hiring them) and then requesting permission to mass-hire TFWs instead.

But the way the right wing talks, you would think Trudeau started this whole thing and the poor multi-million and multi-billion dollar companies are being taken advantage of. Also that housing prices, lack of new developments, and zoning issues started with Trudeau and are the fault of mass-immigration he has a boner for instead of being an issue for decades and experts warning this would happen if governments didn't act ASAP.

Instead the neolibs and cons kept cutting back and kicking that can down the road, a can that started being kicked by Mulroney and the Conservative Party.

savoir faire is the representative skill for ultraliberalism -> speed boosts motorics (including savoir faire) -> ultraliberalism incentivises using speed -> you get people like marielle charpentier (the estate agent in the apartments) whos on preptides and can be found still working into the dead of night insisting that martinaise's economy will soon flourish

My roommate when she was ordering food 3 times a day: hey I know you're disabled and have to cook all your meals, but when are you gonna move heavy boxes out of the way for me? Why didn't you mop the floor? Why are there still dishes in the sink? That's so gross. Yeah I'm just the kind of person who needs to clean dishes immediately after making food, otherwise it bothers me. You know we need to all clean out the fridge and pantry together. Are you going to get this thing I didn't buy for the household when my other roommate moved out? Can you get something at the store for me?

My roommate when she had to cook herself dinner: yeah Im sorry I didn't pick up weed for you like I offered, I didn't even bother going out because I realized I had to choose between cooking and errands. Next week, ok? Also, I piled all my big pots and pans in the sink without rinsing them out, I was just so exhausted. I didn't bring in the trash can either.

What is it about me that makes old white men think I'm a conservative? I need to know so I can change that.

The more I sew the more I understand why modern factory-made fabric things have such a short shelf life

My sheets were made with such screwy thread tension that if the thread in the seam breaks anywhere the whole thing will come instantly undone

My shorts have never heard of a backstitch

This shirt’s using a nonflexible stitch on extremely stretchy fabric

The cape that was the first clothing I made was hand-sewed with barely any idea what I was doing and will last longer than the fifty dollar cape I just bought. The very first thing I machine-sewed was alterations in a shirt and my alterations could last years longer than the shirt itself. Commercial fabric stuff is made without the basic things you learn on sewing day one

No wonder pre-industrial clothes could get passed down through generations with five kids per generation! They were made with actual skill and time and care!

I wear clothes until they literally fall apart, which they do, because fast fashion really isn’t on consumers, it really is on “clothes made this cheaply are made really hecking badly” (even when they’re sold expensively)

I don’t really have a point here it’s just interesting to see how very poorly the average modern fabric product is made and to get now why fabric products from earlier periods are so insanely much more durable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ok wait i’m starting to feel maybe an fe16 kick again bc there’s an ashe centric oneshot i never got to finish which was mostly an excuse to Make A Real Character out of a canon mc’s mom (as i am wont to do)

i just need one person to come to my job and say make me something delicious the best sandwich you’ve got for my life to turn around. next thing you know this hoe is turning to his friends like yo i’m on some fire new shit you’ve gotta get the little emo bitch at the grocery store deli. that kid will do you right. people coming in left and right clamoring for my sandwiches. they want it. they want me. they’re waiting for me outside after i clock out to meet me in the smoking area. they’re slipping me tips under the table because they know i’m not earning what i deserve. the bosses start offering me full time and promotions, they wanna show how it’s a company anyone can move up in but that’s not my dream i mean i still gotta finish school. they say well at least let us make your recipe official. but i’m no sellout. i’m not living in a world where they weigh out my ingredients on the scale and calculate the price for each item and charge 9.87 for a premade sandwich. i’m not letting these things rot on the shelves. i leave my hat and knife (we are not allowed to have our own knives) on the boss’s desk and i’m never seen again. i fade away for the next ten years until i run into that very first customer again on the street, and he’s old as shit like retired now and he says kid you had guts. you took a stand. and i haven’t made my sandwich in years but that night i release the recipe online and it blows up all over again, but it’s free now. by the time of my death it’s as much a staple of every sandwich maker as a blt, classic italian, or ceasar wrap
