The people who go "well who's going to look after you when you're old?" when you say you're not having kids are breathtakingly naive. Our next-door neighbour, somewhere in her mid-80s, has a son, grandkids, and a grear-granddaughter, and who's the one she calls when she needs help, and checks that she's not spending christmas alone? Me and my boyfriend.

Having kids is irrelevant if the answer to that question is still going to be "the mentally ill faggots next door."

I actually do feel like the "unemployed friend on a Tuesday" meme actually helps de-stigmatize unemployment because it frequently affirms that when you don't have a job you're more likely to be getting up to some weird shit rather than just lazing around. But I also feel like the unemployed friend is frequently up to some random shit because there's a whole pile of miscellaneous life tasks that full-time employment keeps people from. The unemployed friend is helping their cousin move, or babysitting, or checking in with a neighbor with mobility issues. The unemployed friend is a walking thesis on the inflexibility of our current labor landscape and just how much work exists outside of work.

just read this interview with Nive Nielsen where she says that she’s “pretty sure what was meant is “tuurngaq” [not Tuunbaq] and I say it like that in the TV show” and I want to talk about this for a second. because in the interrogation scene in ep5, the way Crozier and Blanky pronounce the name of the creature is so clearly different to how Silna pronounces it and she even corrects them after they say it wrong. but neither of them listen to her and continue to pronounce it as “Tuunbaq”. it’s the continuation of the colonial tradition of gradually destroying Indigenous languages but it’s done in such a subtle and seemingly harmless way that most people wouldn’t really bat an eyelid at it. I mean, what harm can two people pronouncing one word wrong do? but that is exactly how the eradication of indigenous languages began. with ignorant Europeans finding a similar pronunciation that is easier for them to say

The Thomas Jopson Guide to Customer Service

transcript + details under the cut

STEP 1: PROJECT

Mommy / daddy issues? Or are you nursing a broken heart? GOOD! we all have problems, it’s best to get some good use out of them!

Project your traumas & form an unhealthy attachment to your boss!

A deep personal tie to your job is proven (by me) to increase motivation!

nightmares about your boss abandoning you are a good sign of a successful attachment.

STEP 2: SMILE

A more or less warm smile is a good response to (almost) any situation.

- Surprise overtime? Smile!

- Promotion? Smile!

- Want to kill your customer? Smile!

- Boss reminds you a bit too much of your mother and it’s making you uncomfortable… smile!

Do NOT smile when the coworker you hate finally gets what they deserve. [poorly disguised smirk]

STEP 3: LOOK YOUR BEST

“Turmoil on the inside needn’t show on the out” - a wise man

Customers will come back to a pretty face.

The boss you’re attached to might turn up out of nowhere to take care of you, so being sick is no excuse.
