LOVES me a comic relief character w/ a reputation for The Melodrama—but once you consider their backstory/working conditions you realize they are actually holding shit soooooooooooooooo much closer together than most-o-us could manage in the same situation.

there are MANY goons and mooks and goofy best friend characters this applies to, but i wanna give a shout-out to the Living Prima Donna Embodiment from phantom of the opera.

woman with 20+ years experience, most respected professional in her field, refuses to work under unsafe conditions (aka shitty colleague literally trying to murder her) and instead of listening to her massively justified concern, the new tech bro investors decide to just have an entry-level employee fill in for her.

Carlotta shoulda personally been allowed bring that crummy chandelier crashing down on her shitty bosses' heads!!!

If you're in the US, now is a great time to talk to the young people in your life about the US military:

All of this!

If you want an organization who WILL tell you the truth about your rights to conscientiously object, how to legally get out of the DEP (Delayed Entry Program) or about any of your other rights in the military (whether you’re enlisted, thinking about enlisting, or a family member or friend of someone enlisted (or thinking about enlisting)), who will do it confidentially & for free, you want the

GI Rights Hotline

run by NGOs & non-profits, which has been counseling folks for DECADES now:

Or by phone:

first rule of storing tupperware is have fun and be yourself. second suggestion is slam the cabinet door quickly and don’t worry ‘bout it.

wearing sky-colored shoes to hide from the devil. earth colored hat to hide from god

Iron breastplate to ward off fairies, Fishnet leggings to ward off cod.

You're evil and you know it

good thing they're hidden from god and the devil

Absolutely insane lines to just drop in the middle of an academic text btw. Feeling so normal about this.

Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like "I'm not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it." Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.

I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have historically been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.

Taking these screenshots from Facebook because they make you log in and won't let you copy and paste:

today i learned that the finnish word for ‘hazardous waste’ is ongelmajäte, which can also translate as ‘problematic garbage’ and my roommate and i immediately agreed this is a word that belongs on tumblr.

Your fave is ongelmajäte

in german it’s Sondermüll which means special trash and that too belongs on tumblr

One man’s ongelmajäte is another man’s sondermüll.

Like clockwork, every year, sometime past the solstice, before anything could be feasible for early spring, Sunshine Man destroys the living room. Every year. Utterly destroyed. There are powertools and wood glue involved.

Cabin fever real

for reference, I woke up this morning and was fucking around on my phone and checked the weather. Without exaggeration or hyperbole I asked sunshine man if it was actually as warm as it said it was. And he said "Oh yeah the thermometer downstairs says its negative 5" to which i replied "sweet!" Because thats a 31 degree temperature increase since yesterday.

So like. The unhinged home improvement kick is perfectly understandable. For some people, it manifests as rearranging all the furniture and other people. It manifests as building cabinetry and rewiring every fucking outlet in the entire goddamn house.

we have now entered the stupid argument portion of the program.

Please let me paint the cabinets you got for free. Yes I know they're oak. You can see that they're oak. You can also see that they were free. We live in a log cabin. Let me paint them. The counter top is a lacquered project panel. That's too much wood.

"Come be my little fishie!" He says.

"Okay that's not some wierd sexual innuendo because you dont know what those are or how they work, but that is what I defaulted to, so I have no idea what you want from me" says me. (this is just what I talk like on a Saturday morning in my destroyed living room)

"I need your skinny little arms to help me fish this wire through the outlets under the counter"

Yep that makes more sense

"moment of truth here! Let's see if anything goes sparky when I plug 'er in!"

Did not cause electrical fire. I am now a pressing weight because thats more convenient than a clamp and also i can update Tumblr on the goings on.
