Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.
#You're going to feel like you're being rude and that's okay#They're going to act like your best friend at first#And slowly get more agitated#the more you try#To stand your ground#But they're not your friend#They're trying to sell you something you don't want

My fellow bitches under 5'5. Whatever the money, do not take a job working at a middle school. A fellow adult tried to put me in detention last month and would NOT give up until I showed her my badge proving Yes, The School Hired Me To Work Here. It's not meant for people our height.
#personal#back to work tomorrow prepare thyself#i have had other adults try to take my phone away ask if I have a tardy pass the aforementioned detention incident-#THE LIST GOES ON#i usually get an apology after they realize im twenty fucking six but sometimes im like#....if you need to apologize this profusely for talking to me like that when you realized i wasn't a student#maybe you shouldn't be talking to the students like that either?#i get it they're irritating as hell but like. as soon as you realized i could report you for yelling at me the way u just did#u HELLA backtracked.#maybe some self reflection is in order?

ok not to be that guy but like. labor rights and working class rights can coexist with 24h services and late amenities. its certainly hard to do so without worker exploitation in this political and social environment, it’s not a conflict likely to resolve overnight. but 24h services are important and especially valuable to those of us that are disabled or are on a different circadian rhythm. in fact more professional, health, and government services should be available or at least possible to work on asynchronously (if applicable) during late or odd hours, while workers also get sufficient pay for their labor and proper consistent scheduling. this would be much easier on the workers with night schedules if the entire professional world didn’t grind to a halt at 5pmEST
#just like. it doesn’t have to be this way#the number of people I’ve talked to who would absolutely do a night schedule if it didn’t suck ass because you can never get anything done#like. go to the doctor. without waking up at your equivalent of 2am to make their latest afternoon slot#the sleep deprivation of trying to keep a normal schedule and trying to get stuff done sometimes on my natural schedule are like#the same. I started getting fevers any time I stayed up longer than 14 hours bc I had to do it so often to make appts#it’s only a little better now because I’ve been strict with a schedule that’s somewhere in the middle#so I at least have 2 hours to try and do stuff before the entire country fucks off to bed#.txt

Part of the reason I'm so adamant about encouraging people to get comfortable with bugs, my own interests aside, is because we cannot have a bright, solarpunk future without them.
A green future is not a bugless future. It is, in fact, a fairly bugful future. If you care about ecological stability, then you need to start with bugs, because they're the most at risk with our current use of pesticides.
#solarpunk#I'm sure someone actually working in conservation can chip in with more detail but#I just notice that a lot of these solarpunk aesthetics tend to be full of plants but often bereft of bugs#and people tend to avoid them as a whole out of courtesy for people who might be afraid of so much as an image#but we NEED to get comfortable with them existing and being around us#we need to stop encouraging fearing and hating them as a bonding activity#and to all of you trying to do that right now even though you have a phobia: I'm proud of you.

Yall ever think about how Ford had to relearn how to be a normal human being after 30 years of isolation

#notes:#Stan was trying to haggle with what is effectively a 7eleven employee... Because they didn't have the money for it#and also because Stan and his money anxiety... ☹️Ford probably has had to fight for scant resources and kiII for less...#Both of them need to get mental help and realise that it's okay#and that it's safe now.#You have money... And you no longer need to fight for everything you have#gravity falls#ford pines#grunkle ford#stan pines#grunkle stan#stanford pines#stanley pines

Peace and love
#pink posts#i saw a tweet that was like “i see other people's art” --> i get discouraged#i understand that seeing art that is prettier than yours can be discouraging but why not twist that a bit?#why does it look prettier to you? is it the colors#is it the textures they used? the brushes?#study them and try to put your spin on it#and maybe you'll find your art beautiful as well

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU
***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***
Blacked out part is my name.




I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too
AND
I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.
And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.
A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am
#us politics#donald trump#election 2024#aclu#a promise to myself#how is this comforting you May ask#bc we are not fighting alone or uninformed#we have good and strong groups in our corners defending what we believe in#it’s not over yet#we have to try and pushback#added Alt image descriptions since this is leaving containment#happy to see many engaging with this to either donate time or money or both#really warms the cold heart of mine#wow this broke containment#overall it’s been pretty nice seeing people engaging with it ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work#they did the travel ban right at the beginning of the previous presidency too#also every major civil battle in the last century#brown V board of education- the one that desegregated schools#loving V Virginia- legalized interracial marriage#roe V wade- legalized abortion#United States V Nixon- watergate scandal WHICH LIMITED US PRESIDENTAL POWER#Edwards v. Aguillard- helped allow schools to teach evolution#Planned Parenthood v. Casey- another abortion case#ACLU v. NSA- to stop the NSA spying on wikipedia users#Ingersoll v. Arlene's Flowers- fought to stop LGBTQ discrimination from businesses#Obergefell v. Hodges- case that legalized gay marriage#literally WAY MORE GUYS#so don’t fall into dispair! these are literally one of the good ones!

drawing deltarune every day until chapter 3&4 drop ✨(day 101)
childhood sweethearts
#deltarune#noelle holiday#kris dreemurr#utdr#weird route#snowgrave route#fanart#daily deltarune#blood tw#kriselle#<- if you want it to be. the idea i was trying to get across is that before noelle actually understood what romance or marriage was#as a kid she just was like ''well i would marry kris bcuz they're my best friend ^_^''#also ive always been interested in the idea that these two were sort of always ''expected'' to get together. like not FORCED to#but their parents would always comment on how well they got along and would kind of assume they might start dating eventually#like yknow. the whole thing of our families are friends so wouldnt it be cute if our kids got together and tied us together??#ive having difficulty wording it but i hope you know what im talking about lmao#edit: THIS IS NOT ABOUT COMPHET!!!!!! KRIS IS NOT A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#5k#10k
