IM SOBBING ABT THESE

44% of the audience of Guardians of the Galaxy is female and all the speculation states that women went to see it for Chris Pratt’s body. I don’t think that’s fair. Maybe (and this is cr*zy) they just like kickass movies with space shit and explosions. Maybe women can do things without men being their motivation. Maybe.

honestly...it’s ok to just use your skills on yourself! sewing clothes only you to wear, making art to hang up in your own personal area, singing and recording songs for you only to listen to...like not everything has to be for other people’s consumption!

Friendly reminder that doing your best means doing what you can WITHOUT jeopardizing your mental or physical health. Doing your best doesn’t mean pushing yourself into a flare or a breakdown. Doing your best doesn’t mean forcing yourself past what’s healthy and sustainable.

Things Not to Do in a Cemetery

By someone who works at one. 

Please don’t leave glass items on your loved one’s grave. I understand the urge, really I do. But those vases/picture frames/beer bottles/fancy solar lights/etc are gonna break eventually, and be a pain in the ass for everyone involved. 

Different cemeteries have different regulations when it comes to what’s allowed in the park and what’s not, and some are more lenient than others about enforcing those regulations. If you’re not sure, ask someone who works there.

If you put up tiny plastic fences and solar lights and garden decorations around your loved one’s space it will probably be removed at some point bc y’all… The grounds crew needs to mow the grass. And some of that stuff is probably technically against the rules anyways, but everyone’s trying to be nice about it. 

Do not sit on or lean against any of the markers or memorials. They may all be made of granite, but the upright ones will flop right over if you push them hard enough, and if the ground is wet the flats will sink into the dirt. Also it’s fucking rude. If someone sees you sitting on their mom’s headstone, they might just kick your ass. 

Decorations around a grave will be removed if they are broken, or if a grave side service/ burial is going to take place nearby. We do need to bring heavy machinery in to dig graves, and for outside services there are also tents and chairs laid out. If you notice the decorations have been disturbed, it’s probably not vandalism BUT if you’re not sure, it never hurts to ask. 

I personally don’t care if you want to place food or drink on your loved one’s grave. It’s very common. But if you complain about ants all over the headstone, and I go out to see that it’s because you left a whole ass packet of oreos and an open six pack of corona, I’m not gonna be impressed or happy. Like I’ll be nice about it, but I will think you’re a dumbass. 

If the cemetery allows you to bring pets into the park, that’s great. That’s chill. Please pick up after them. No one likes to see a big pile of dog shit in the middle of the cremation garden. 

Do not fuck in the cemetery. I swear to fucking god. Don’t even make out in the cemetery. You shouldn’t be doing that shit in public anyways. I don’t care about your morbid goth fetish. Some grandma is going to see you getting frisky next to her son’s grave, and beat you to death with her purse and the ten pounds of silk floral arrangements she brought to place there.

Don’t be afraid to visit. We want these parks to be a place where you can both mourn and celebrate the person who died. I regularly see families who have picnics out there, especially on holidays. If you haven’t visited in a while and aren’t sure where your loved one is, ask someone on staff. It’s our job to help you find them, and no one is going to judge you for visiting for the first time in like 10 years.

Gluten free needs to actually be gluten free

*might rant a little*

Okay so buckle up because I’m about to go off.

So today was one of the rare occasions I decided to go out to eat. And I was thrilled to discover that the resteraubt my family had chosen had options for gluten free buns and pizza crust. So I of course was thrilled and excitedly ordered my gluten free food (specifying that I have a severe allergy) and ate happily....Ten minutes later I was on the floor of a public bathroom wanting to cry because something in the supposed gluten free options had triggered a full blown reaction.

Now personally I know that I’ll be okay in a few days, granted very uncomfortable and sick. However for the sake of my currently trashed stomach and for other people with sensitivities I have decided to write the following list of announcements.

- Falsely advertising this can seriously hurt people and even put lives endanger

- For every person who doesn’t eat certain foods for personal reasons there are people who have serious dietary restrictions. ITS NOT YOUR JOB TO DECIDE WHOS DIET IS VALID

-Everyone deserves to be able to safely enjoy a meal and part of ensuring that as a resteraunt (or even just hosting) is being honest about how you make things and the ingredients you use.

- FOR FUCKS SAKE DONT TRY TO SNEAK IN FOOD ALLERGENS TO “CHECK IF THEY’RE ‘ACTUALLY’ ALLERGIC (yes that dessert had wheat in it I know because I’m now laying on your bathroom floor)

-RESPECT DIETARY RESTRICTIONS REGARDLESS OF PERSONAL IDEAS ON THEM (No one cares if you Great Aunt Margret fixed her peanut allergy through positive thinking or if you think gluten allergies are invented by Capitalism)

- If your friends or loved ones have restrictions let them choose somewhere/something safe to eat. At the end of the day their health and safety should matter more than if you were really craving pizza.

-DONT BE A DICK (It’s awkward enough having to triple check our orders/ingredient lists/if we’ve taken enough enzymes. We aren’t trying to annoy or inconvenience anyone, just trying to stay safe

Now I know mistakes happen. It’s why I carry stomach meds and ginger candy everywhere I go. But my hope is in the future these things can be more easily avoided because being exposed to allergens/sensitivities/triggers SUCKS and can seriously disrupt your life even if they aren’t life threatening. Living with chronic conditions is hard enough as it is.

This has been a PSA from a pissed off person whose immune system attacks bread
