Text: PSA to anyone with a tree nut allergy who frequents starbucks. We have a new drink called the pistachio cold foam cold brew and our pistachio sauce not only has real pistachio in it, the syrup sticks inside the blender and will 100% not fully wash off with the rinsers we use (its just water). I highly suggest if you want a cold foam drink during Jan-March you request it done in a sanitized blender to lower the chance of having a reaction if you are at risk.

y'know, one thing i don't see get talked about much in regards to asexuality is how it feels to never be 'sexually motivated' by anything

and not just when it comes to advertisements using 'sexy' models to try and sell you stuff, but like. in general

sex as a favor, sex as a bribe, sex in exchange for whatever

casual sex, 'friends with benefits' situations, even simple flirting

it all looks a whole lot different from the perspective of someone who's immune to manipulation via sex appeal, who has virtually no understanding as to why sex would motivate someone to cheat on their partner, etc. etc.

sex is worthless to me

i mean, it's useful as a story element in fiction, but it genuinely perplexes me that sex is such a driving force behind so many aspects of irl society & of people's individual lives, for better or for worse

and that it's so deeply ingrained into how the average person views the world & various situations, because the average person feels sexual attraction, whereas i do not

i think the barrier between aces & allos is actually even deeper than it seems on the surface at times, because it's more than just the grating expectation that everyone must want to 'settle down' and have kids, it's also the fact that the majority of the world is sort of 'in' on a joke that aces will never truly be a part of

Hello friends, it’s time to combat misinformation: Amazon’s thank-your-driver program ran out of money and is OVER.

The purpose of the program was to encourage people to download and use the Alexa app. Getting users to try a new piece of software is a massive hurtle, but one they might do ‘for charity.’ Once people have learned to use it for one thing, Amazon hopes they will use it for something else.

In a brilliant marketing strategy, Amazon leveraged the widespread public dissatisfaction with their employment policies into a viral news story that will encourage people to use their products more. Due to the nature of viral stories, this one will continue to encourage Alexa usage even though the program itself is no longer paying out.

(You can still thank your driver and Alexa will still tell people their driver has been ‘thanked’ with no mention of the $5 bonus which is, of course, not being paid.)

SO if you see people sharing articles about it remember to pipe up and explain the program is OVER.

It's true that like once you start having ambiguous gender feelings it's a little bit of a free for all like yes I'm a woman but I'm also male and I like being called a boy but I'm not a man like sorry I'm on Advanced Gender nuance now but also my gender is that stuffed fox on a chair.

what if instead of having a fake name for internet personal-life purposes we could have a fake name for professional work-life purposes
