oh this collar? no no it’s not a sex thing, yeah it’s not really for fashion either. yeah no it keeps my head attached. yeah my head? it’s detached? yeah no it falls right off if i don’t wear the collar, huge pain in the ass. the jingle bell is a sex thing though.
Short-staffing has become a major problem in all sectors. Retail, food service, health care, education, factory production lines, call centers, child care, IT, office support staff, etc. Every corner of our society and economy.
Now we know that even in creative spaces employers are not willing to hire sufficient staff to accomplish necessary tasks, demand workers do more than their fair share of work, for longer hours, without fair compensation or reasonable breaks/time off.
So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriend—who unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!—by becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the “friend zone”.
Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!
Don’t forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about
It always fuck me up that older people don’t understand how this story is as essential to most american children as Gone with the Wind or Mary Poppins was.
unironically, this is one of the best books/movies for young people that exists
Kissing Kate Did Nothing Wrong
And the technical writing of Holes is perfect. Like, it’s one of the most technically-perfect books ever written. Basically any plotting or pacing or characterization issue you’re having, read Holes and really study how Sachar did it. THE LIZARDS! THE LIZARDS.
the twisty prophecies! the lizards! the lipstick! the humor! this book doesn’t play. a true classic.
we justifiably give Biden a lot of shit but I think “at least 3” is the funniest possible response to some right wing dipshit asking you how many genders there are
Someone here on tumblr mentioned how adults in their early 20’s are being called “postminors” and stumbled on the conversation that prompted this
Honestly this whole thing sounds like eugenics.
Consent is a human right that shouldn’t be subject to arbitrary testing or “licensing”.
Attempting to reduce it to a simple pass-fail test or license grossly trivializes the important conversations that must be had to ensure that consent is being given and received in a responsible and respectful manner.
The second I read the words “mental exam” in the context of deciding who can consent, this went from stupid to horrifying. Holy shit.
lmao someone told me it was “grooming” to have the characters in my romance novel be 23 (turning 24 like right as the book starts) and 27. the kids are not alright.
SORRY SHE SAID WHAT????
years ago like I think it was 2017 this popular Tumblr user randomly got hold of my three note post which was just nerd shit about villains from a series I liked at the time and she was going off at me calling me pro fascist and slavery and when I replied to just shut the fuck up she hit back with “me, a literal 21 year old minor and you’re 23 whole ass years old???”“ Like we wouldn’t be in the same retirement home together lmfaooo
Tumblr I’ve been here for well over five years now why am I getting this 😭
congrats on 50 likes!
one thing about helluva boss that should be talked about more is that moxie and millie genuinely love each other. like theres no vitriol in their relationship. its so refreshing to see a couple that is built on trust, communication and love in media. theres waaaaay to many shows that have the married couple at each others throats.
