providing non-sexual dominance can be so fulfilling. making choices for someone who trusts you? gently guiding them with a hand on their back? drawing them closer when it's crowded? noticing and fixing their messy hair? leading them through busy areas by holding their hand? caring for their well-being by suggesting when to eat or sleep? god tier

A good rule of thumb for AI is "would you trust a trained pigeon to do this?"

"We trained a pigeon to recognise cancerous cell clusters and somehow they're really good at it" okay great, that's something that could plausibly be a thing.

"We trained a pigeon to recognise good CV:s and left it in charge of sorting through all our job applications" uh perhaps consider not doing that.

i feel like we dont point out that its christian doctrine that god thinks we all deserve to burn for eternity for the crime of being born and the only way he'd forgive us is if we completely and utterly devote our lives to him. what a fucking prick.

NEVER GIVE UP

[cryptidwithacopiccollection]

for old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. let’s do it for the love that used to be here!! it is reason enough!!

[cryptidwithacopiccollection]

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

Listen my dudes Ancient Egypt existed for a really fuckass long time. Literally just Pharaonic civilization lasted 3,000 years. That’s not even including predynastic civilization and Roman rule. If you lump that in you’re looking at more like… 5,000 years. Like. If you want a comparison of how long that is: THE YEAR IS CURRENTLY 2018. TWO THOUSAND. TWO-THIRDS OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PHARAONIC CIVILIZATION HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THE ‘BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST’ We comparatively just entered the Third Intermediate Period. The Greeks will not take over for another 700~ years. Cleopatra will not be born until the year 2931.

It’s a really long time guys.

I studied abroad for a few months and for a while I was placed with roommates who were not very good to share a living space with- especially a kitchen. It got so bad I ended up asking other students on the trip if I could use theirs to cook- but that was if I had the energy. When I didn't, I'd go to a local burger joint, which not only had giant portions to fill my otherwise underfed stomach, but my ideal burger setup: the barbeque bacon burger. (They also have the best burgers I've ever eaten, hands down no question.)

The last week I was there, our kitchen was basically unusable. We had finals, and I had no energy to clean the massive mess they left, meaning I had nowhere safe to cook (yes, it was THAT bad)

I went to get some food. The owner smiled when I walked in and asked: "barbeque bacon burger?" And when I say I almost burst out crying. Even though that time was incredibly stressful, even though I felt unsafe eating most food I had available because it might've been contaminated due to the crappy conditions my roommates left the kitchen in, that guy made me feel so much better. Not just with his delicious food, but the simple gesture of remembering me and caring enough to let me know. So, yeah.

Since I just saw a post on this and since I work in food service now:

Guys, being a regular and ordering the same thing every time you come in is absolutely fine.

Literally no one is going to be side-eyeing you. The fact of the matter is we have other stuff going on.

That’s not a put-down or anything. I try to make sure all the customers who interact with me feel like they’re our most important customer. However, we are busy and often people just sort of slip by unnoticed. 

When I do think about regulars that come into the store, it’s not usually: “Oh my God, I can’t believe they come to Panera every day. Yikes, so cringe.” It’s usually: “I wonder how John is doing. I hope his coffee was alright. I had to get it in a bit of a rush today because of all the to-go orders.”

And I really want to scream this from the rooftops because I had a guy just a couple of weeks ago say how embarrassed he felt for always ordering the same thing. That he felt ashamed of being so predictable. Meanwhile, I’m just glad he didn’t order something we don’t have (looking at you Panera wraps) and that he’s not yelling at me. 

You know what’s cringe? Getting snippy with Panera employees because we don’t have the thing you wanted. You know what’s cringe? Complaining about the prices to me when I can’t afford to eat at this restaurant without the associate’s discount. You know what’s cringe? Yelling at Panera employees because you’ve had a bad day and they made the mistake of working in retail. 

That’s cringe. Eating the same sandwich every day? Not a problem. If you get noticed for it at all, it will be: “Oh, thank God, I know what to do with this one and have a low probability of getting yelled at.” Most of the time though, it’ll be the barista trying to remember everything you ordered, double checking the receipt to make sure they got it right, and then handing you the order before moving on to the next one. Because, let’s face it, you’re the twenty-sixth person to order a bagel with plain cream cheese this shift and the orders start blurring together after about the fifth one.
