I have an interview next week!

And tonight got yelled at by an elderly lady who demanded that I warm up her food for her.  A few days ago during the same ritual I asked if she’d bought her frozen pizza in our little convenience store, bc I detest pizza and have no idea how to microwave one and was looking for some directions.  She decided I was accusing her of stealing it.  No amount of apologies or explanations could soothe her wrath.

Tonight she yelled at me again over the pizza thing, and then demanded that I reprint receipts for all the things she DID buy in our store.  Great.  She can’t remember what DAY she bought any of them so I get to sift dozens of receipts. Ask her what she bought.  Cheese sticks.  Okay, that gives me an amount to search for, so I print off the relevant receipts and give them to her.

THIS DOESN’T SAY CHEESE STICKS IT JUST SAYS CASH

Yes, that’s how all our receipts work, I can write it on if you want but–

NO THE COMPUTER NEEDS TO SAY IT IT SAID IT ON MY LAST RECEIPT

That is literally impossible, our computer system only displays “cupboard” because our stock and prices change a lot.  I can write it but I can’t type it in or anythi–

MAKE THE COMPUTER SAY IT WHY CANT YOU JUST MAKE THE COMPUTER SAY IT YOU’RE NOT VERY GOOD AT THIS ARE YOU I’M TELLING YOUR MANAGER THAT YOU’RE ACCUSING ME OF STEALING

good. you do that. please tell him how i refused to do the actual literal impossible for you. i’m out.

not voting isn’t refusing to play the game. You’re in this country, you’re subject to the game whether you like it or not. The only way not to play is to leave, and the vast majority of us don’t have that option.

Not voting is playing the game but saying ‘pass’ every time your turn comes up and then wondering why you lost.

Making young people not vote is actually a tactic used in politics to keep the satus quo. The young vote is always the one for change, so dissuading them from voting at all is actually a political tactic used by the people in charge to keep themselves there.

Voting is rebellion.

What do we say to people who say “gradually pushing our agenda forward via the electoral system won’t work for the far left”?

We say “it sure worked for the far right”

I still don’t understand people who think it’s perfectly acceptable to outright torture “unpleasant” animals. I’m not saying you can’t smack mosquitoes, but pulling their wings off alive, going out of your way to make sure they die slowly, is creepy and horrible to do no matter what. They aren’t bloodsucking parasites specifically to spite you, they aren’t being cruel or mean. Any animal deserves at least a quick death if it has to die, and you can’t say “that’s just a bug” because I’ve definitely seen almost everybody come together with rage over cruelty towards butterflies or ladybugs..

People show the same attitude towards reptiles, rodents, anything they don’t like, as if an animal being dangerous or inconvenient is an actual act of “evil” on that animal’s part and they have to suffer some kind of karmic punishment for …….the way they evolved I guess?

I’ve even heard of people getting stung by a jellyfish and going out of their way to leave it in the sun to dry up and die. We don’t know what if anything jellyfish can “feel” but that doesn’t make an act like that any less twisted. That overall senseless, spiteful obsession with vengeance is just creepy as shit.

I am deeply uncomfortable with anyone who does this kind of vengeance cruelty under the banner of ‘it’s just a __’.  Just the pure intent and anger shown through such cruel action will make me immediately, deeply not trust a person.

Princess Leia & Princess Shuri || Hair Parallels 

“One day on set, Wright’s hairstylist was playing with putting her hair in buns when director Ryan Coogler walked in and remarked, ‘Hey, you look like Princess Leia! You gonna wear that?’ Wright played coy, but says she ‘turned up on set with my Princess Leia buns — and he loved it.’”

I accept this passing of the kick ass female character torch.

Both Disney princesses, both hair icons. I am here for it.
