Why was only one orange uughh
I’m guessing the orange one was the original? Maybe just ran out of the other filament but idk. It did make it a little weird but it was still super cool!!
when people are like “the hunger games just stole the plot of battle royale” like listen everything steals from the plot of everything the lion king is just furry hamlet westworld is jurassic park but sexier lost is edgy gilligan’s island there are no original stories and the only good piece of media is jennifer’s body
Michael crichton wrote westworld and jurassic park tho so he just pirated himself
michael crichton keeps TRYING to tell y’all about the evils of capitalism impeding on the progress of science when will y’all LISTEN
Maybe he just doesn’t like theme parks
michael crichton in line for a roller coaster at six flags: fuck this
Jesus Christ, that’s the height at which every rollercoaster and dark ride is a decapitation threat
how am I ever supposed to leave tumblr when it takes me on journeys like this
They have their own store where you can continue to support them.
Okay so I work at target so I know a little abt this. (Bear in mind that I’m just a fulfillment guy tho, I have no decision-making power, and I’ve only worked two days a week bc of going to college, so there may have been more recent developments since the last time I worked that I’m unaware of.)
It wasn’t just threats—employees were attacked and in one store the pride display was actually set on fire. Headquarters had to make a decision real goddamn quick and they decided on the recall (which varies by store seemingly bc mine only pulled kids’ merch and the dollar spot stuff, but I know someone in a diff store who says her store pulled all of it). They didn’t target (no pun intended) specific designers or brands, it was a blanket recall. I don’t know what they’re planning going forward (again, I’m store-level) and I’m absolutely pissed abt it, but I understand why they made this decision even if I don’t agree with it. Yes, it’s cowardly and we’re correct to be pissed abt it, and HQ knows ppl are pissed and they’re not arguing with that—HR team leads in a lot of stores are making sure to check on and support us workers, especially us queer workers. The HR lead at my store has been making sure to tell all of us (queer and straight alike) that his door is open to anyone who wants to talk and/or vent. They’re not doing it just bc they were looking for an excuse to stop selling pride stuff. They had to do something immediately to protect store-level employees while giving themselves time to figure out what to do in the longer term. Target’s supported the queer community for at least a decade now, and they’ve been ahead of the curve in a lot of ways. I’m hoping they develop a more robust policy for protecting us and customers, like the company as a whole is real lax abt kicking ppl out when they’re being dicks and I hope they change that—this isn’t the first year we’ve had ppl complaining abt the pride merch. It is the first year people have committed arson abt it, tho.
Again, I don’t agree w this decision—it’s cowardly as fuck and it feels like conceding to these assholes who’re coming in and attacking ppl. It’s only going to embolden them, just like a bully on a playground. They’re gonna think they won. But in terms of protecting workers and customers and having stores not be on fire, it’s prob the only thing HQ could have done right away. Remember, this shit has only gotten this bad really recently—it wasn’t nearly this bad even this time last year. Until the past couple years the needle was swinging more towards acceptance, and I’m not sure anyone predicted it would get as bad as it is this quickly. Honestly I think HQ got caught w their pants down and they panicked. Hopefully they’ll get their feet under them and sort out a better response soon.
Btw, I just checked my target app and it’s all still available online.
I was teaching kids today and they got fixated on the usual ‘are they dead now?’ question when I was talking about historical figures. So I was just like ‘Yes, they’re dead now, everyone who was alive in the 1800s is dead now.’ and then one kid was like ‘Except for you’.
I’m sorry to hear about your scalp.
Okay I must clear this up more concretely since this has gone far beyond my circle of folks who have the context of Why This Is Actually Funny, because there are thousands of people here who are like ‘kids are so rude, kids are so evil, I hate kids’ when…
1) Kids are little humans and they’re learning and they should be treated as little humans who are learning. Don’t be a dick to kids. Adults who are assholes to kids is such a bad look, and kids remember that shit.
2) This particular child was being SO earnest and ‘except for you’ was said not as an insult but like ‘oh…you’re the last one left 😢’.
I dress like this everyone:
