IT’S SEASONAL AGAIN LADS
‘Tis the season so I’ll reblog my absolute favorite Terry Pratchett quote ever
Happy holidays folks
welp
‘germanic warrior with helmet’ - osmar schindler (1902)
The second best thing about erotic art is seeing people reject their initial reaction to it. The comments are full of people saying “oh my first thought was,” and, yeah, your first thought was right. The barbarian youth is sexually dominating the old Roman order. If you actually could get your mind out of the gutter you’d be the first animal to ever do so.
I don’t know any other way to do it than to totally trust you!!

🎉Y'aaaaall!! We hit our 10k milestone for MERCY! 🎉
Our sincerest thanks and appreciation to our wonderful listeners for all your support and passion for the show! Your ongoing encouragement is what motivates us on this (occasionally rocky and always rewarding) journey 💖 MERCY is a purely voluntary production, but if you like what you hear and would like to show your support, I'd like to direct that support to my incredible cast & crew. They are the heart and soul of MERCY and the show would not exist without their immense passion, talent, and generosity of spirit.
I highly suggest checking out their other projects and artistic achievements. You can also send them love via their social media which you can find on our website here: https://strangekindstudio.weebly.com/mercycastcrew.html Finally, in celebration, we make a humble offering of a very average librarian with a very legitimate side gig, an aspiring Pokémon trainer, a perfumed doily cloth, The Manliest Man That Ever Manned™, and a loafing office cat.
Set during the tail end of the wild west, MERCY: A Queer Eldritch Western follows Wayne Sawyer, a grizzled jack-of-all-trades, who helps the folk of Mercy for a mere pittance. When he meets the bizarre and enigmatic academic, Doctor Daisy Gray, they are both thrust into dangers beyond human comprehension. For adult audiences only.

Gosh Wayne is so pretty. Wanna kiss his face
in case it helps, phantom pulse will feel like loud guitars, sticky venue floors, sharpied Chucks, jackets covered in pins and patches, inside jokes, doing it yourself, and found family; but also like a haunted house, like those creepy billboards about hell on the side of the highway, like a graveyard; like facing down your own death, like writing your name in blood in the annals of history and getting the dirt of hope under your fingernails
if you're into that sort of thing
Vibrating with excitement
i just wanted you guys to know theres a porn parody of the force awakens and just when this storm trooper dude starts feeling this bitch up, kylo came in and started doing his usual tantrum shit in the background unprovoked, meanwhile oblivious to all thats happening and let me tell you no porn has ever cut me so off guard and brought me to tears in .01 seconds until now
don't worry, they're professionals
I want to get out.
DO NOT SUPPORT SALVATION ARMY
I can back this up. It isn’t only their shelters.
I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.
My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.
Do not give to the Salvation Army.

Do Not. Give. To. Salvation. Army

My turn.
I’m a wildfire and disaster logistics specialist.
I deal with a lot of agencies who provide disaster relief.
I used to say the Salvation Army’s disaster services were the one (literally the ONE) good thing they did.
They would come in, set up a canteen trailer, make and pass out hot coffee and donated food in a disaster, usually being one of the first agencies to get there and the last to leave.
Then I found out.
Every time they did this, regardless of if they were actually invited or deployed by the agency in charge (usually FEMA, sometimes others) they would SELF-DEPLOY. Meanjng they would just show up. Ok. That’s not TOO bad, sometimes agencies have to take initiative and get there before the red tape is sorted out. BUT. They, after they left at the end of the incident, they would send FEMA or the host agency a BILL. They used one or two paid employees (usually the driver of the truck and a supervisor); and many VOLUNTEERS, but they would bill for EVERYONE’s Labor at standard federal rates. They would bill for the food they distributed even though it was all donated by another agency or private parties. They would bill for the coffee they made and the supplies. Except they would use electricity from the shelter location, water from donations or from the shelter, and in many cases, they would get the coffee and industrial filters DONATED, but bill for them at retail prices.
Don’t FUCKING give to the Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army is also ass to the workers. A good number of people join it, naively thinking that it’s doing good, and end up leaving cynical and beaten down. The management is hostile, if not outright abusive, and demand some ridiculous hours of it lower to mid-level staff. Don’t support these people.
Unsettling update
Find better local charities and shelters and give to them instead!

Also just for even more horrific context on the original twitter thread?
Salvation Army reached out to Milknmuffins and asked what shelter she’s at with the promise to address the abuse in it. She…ended up saying where she was. She was thrown out onto the street. It’s also all on Twitter.
They invited her to a personal talk so she could explain the situation in person.
And then they threatened her with a screenshot of a rape-threat made supposedly by her:
And then threw her out into the street while claiming she broke house rules that
So yeah, the Salvation Army is a bunch of entitled assholes that will treat the most vulnerable like shit if they dare try to do anything that makes them look bad
The “Fuck Salvation Army” posts are making the rounds again, so conisder this your reminder: Do. Not. Give. These. Assholes. A. Single. Fucking. Penny.
Do not support them in any way, shape, or form.
‘Tis the season to say FUCK the Salvation Army.
Your yearly holiday reminder that the folks ringing those bells think they’re doing something good, but they’re not. Please donate to a food program instead.
It's that time of year again
