#we should have higher standards

[aria-i-adagio]

Oh for fuck's sake! The textbook (Pearson subsidiary) not only didn't provide a date for this text (or any other text), but they actually changed the name of the selection from how it is cited elsewhere, making it more difficult to backfill all the missing contextual information.

Honestly, if a publisher can't/won't follow basic conventions of academic documentation and style, they shouldn't be in the business.

Mysterious Lotus Casebook (2023) | Ep. 19

I know I make this post every leak night but genuinely wholeheartedly if u want a shonen that believes abusive fathers don’t inherently deserve forgiveness and actively does want to tackle the systemic issues it creates one piece is in fact Right There. Like I know it’s long and it’s older than this website and basically a meme at this point but I’m dead serious going from whatever bs was happening in jjk/bnha to one piece months ago was like a breath of fresh air it was like oh wow! A series written by someone who enjoys and respects his work and genuinely understands the themes he wants to portray how novel!

look im gonna level with you. as a survivor of multi-instance SA whose abusers were usually men and boys: if ur afraid of men, what i hear is that you believe in the validity of patriarchy and its philosophical positions.

hey loves. i know this isn't ideal, but any future icon borders will start having a minimum price on ko-fi. i love creating things and coming up with designs, but i need to also focus on breaking even with the costs of my licenses, and perhaps stop making a loss financially with this. it's my hobby, yes, but i also view it as a side project & a pocket money style income stream. prices won't be expensive, but expect the minimum to be between £0.50 and £1.50 from hereon out.

free borders and dividers will still be shared, as well as psds when i come to making them. paid dividers will be due to their levels of customisation.

with all this being said — the rules remain the same regardless if they are paid or free: all content must be credited appropriately, failure to do so will result in blacklisting, if it happens on a consistent basis then that will result in all downloads being made private & through IM only, with evidence of crediting being provided. if you buy a product that allows you to input your url, that does not mean you can claim you made it yourself. credit me.

it’s so funny that people can’t wrap around the fact that some people aren’t looking for romantic relationships and are fulfilled with their friendships solely and i’m constantly seeing people on twt saying that self love and friendships don’t fulfill your romantic needs… we know that?? but have you also thought that some people don’t have the incessant need to be in a relationship?? just a thought…

Lol out of curiosity I looked up my old job on Indeed and yes they ARE urgently hiring for the position and if I didn't get treated like dog shit for expecting a stress free work environment with reasonable expectations and not wildly cunty management who seemed to be under the impression they were doing THE most important job at THE most important store ever maybe I wouldn't have just not shown up one day 🤷🏻‍♀️ asshole thing to do to my poor coworkers but I didn't even have the energy to quit right after spending a month and a half feeling deeply surveilled at every aspect of my job lest I get another frivolous writeup no one else got for doing their jobs worse than me so fine. You want me gone enough to threaten my livelihood and SHRUG when I point out I have rent to pay, fine, but I wouldn't put up with that behavior from anyone in my life generally and I LIKE those people so my JOB pulling bullshit? Oh hell no, if I wouldn't take it from people I CHOOSE to be around on purpose I ain't taking shit from a fucking JOB. I refuse to be in a work environment that's unaware it's a GROCERY STORE, not a 5 star establishment frequented exclusively by world leaders or some shit. Like Sam, my job is cooking food at a fucking sobeys and you're acting as if I'm disarming bombs it's so important get reasonable priorities and standards for employees and then apply them equally to managers and not EXCLUSIVELY minimum wage staff 🙄

Which is funny because my new job everyone seems surprised with how fast I've caught on to stuff down to a coworker yesterday telling me he thought I worked in a shoppers prior to the pharmacy I'm in because Im catching on so quick. This isn't unusual for me either, some time in the last five or so years I've found every workplace I'm at I end up being heavily relied on because I'm good at my job, so fucking sucks to suck for sobeys because it took me some week or so to be consistently praised for being better at the job than the guy I replaced only for them to throw that out because they think management should be able to do whatever the fuck they want while they shove minimum wage staff under a fucking microscope to ensure they're doing their shit right and even that isn't consistent. They punished me exclusively because I did not lay down to be treated as a door mat and dished the treatment I got handed. If you treat me like shit I WILL treat you the way you treat me, no worse, and sometimes a little better because I don't lose my moral standards in that treatment either. Just because I'm being an ass doesn't mean I'm willing to do whatever the fuck, just enough to ensure that the person who's decided I'm their new plaything knows that'll be going both ways so fuck off. I've never had a job so willing to keep on shit management they had at LEAST a dozen meetings with regarding performance and I was the one who got punished for being frustrated about that. But I will take a new significantly less stressful job 🙌🏻

Why is it that the good employees (always on time, do what they are supposed to do, make an effort, actually show up to work) are always shit on and the bad employees (who don’t try, don’t care, leave their coworkers out to dry, and don’t even show up half the time) seem to always be praised and face zero consequences for their actions? If I just decided to not show up I would be fired, but this other girl faces no consequences ever, It’s bullshit

petition to stop making fun of people who like those pinterest-esque posts with sad quotes and whatever bcs to you they may be edgy and cringy but to someone out there it might be the first time that they are seeing someone put into words the confusing experience of being Human. same goes with those bad ya books like. yes they are objectively, technically bad and most times just badly mimic something someone else did but someone will see deep ideas explored in them for the first time and marvel. and maybe instead of going lmao dumb kids we should go 'hey if you liked that book you might like [a book that was much better at exploring trope from that angle'. peace on planet earth or whatever

If I see g*nshin imp*ct shit outside of my like, two mutuals I allow through my filters so I can keep up with Ateru, I am reporting it as spam.

lowkey gen ai usage in higher ed should get you barred from some professions. like you should not get to make decisions on infrastructure or ppls healthcare if you cant bother to do your own work

[irkedisaac]

sorry just saw the worst take ever lmao. if "small talk" were essential to community building it wouldn't universally feel like a hostage situation. never in my LIFE has "small talk" felt like it got me any closer to understanding or connecting with another person. without fail it involves me going on autopilot for the entire interaction because theyre all the same. i don't need to devote any of my energy to that trash, talk when you have something to fuckin say

I feel like when you go to visit another country you should take the time to research what things are commonplace there that might not be expected in your home country so that you can be respectful to the places your visiting and the residents you’re interacting with. This includes people visiting the U.S. from other places. This post is about tipping. I understand it may not be a thing where you’re from, but especially if you do know about it beforehand, I do think it’s kind of an asshole thing to just fuck over some random waitstaff employee because “oh, well it’s their employer’s fault anyway”. So you’re okay with this person being under compensated for the work they do and you’re going to benefit from that work anyway and even though there is a system in place to throw some extra money their way so they DON’T have to be as fucked over you’re just. Not going to??? Yeah I think that’s kinda fucking rude.

Look, it is true that fashion industry has changed rapidly during the last 30 years, but sometimes when I see people bemoaning how "clothes are so bad and flimsy nowadays" it basically boils down to the solution of STOP BUYING FAST FASHION.
