#can this please happen at my company

exciting update on the state of the scoundrel and the scientist's marriage/engagement/complicated roommate situationship:
It Sure Is Going!
#caeru's finally learning how to gossip. im so proud#sometimes i send rp responses between these two just to act out their dynamic. im playing with my dolls#yin-thoughts#fallen london#currently we're at 700+ wedding prep. the scoundrel would of course accept no less than a marriage at the bazaar itself#so their status quo is just gonna continue to be bickering fiance haters for the next while#i'll post when it finally Does happen so anyone who wants to attend can come along#the scoundrel's guest of honor was always gonna be mr wines anyway. all other invitees are side pieces in comparison#(at least. to their gay little mind)#the scientist is already testing his own patience doing this scheme in the first place. he'd welcome any company that isnt his spouse#any company. ever. please. for the love of all that is holy. Literally Anyone. he's so tired of putting up with them.#though if you suggest he simply moves out he gives you a weird look and mutters about how preposterous the concept is#their relationship is complicated.#scoundrelventures

Who gave Sondheim the right to write a song as bittersweetly perfect as Sorry-Grateful?
#company#company musical#stephen sondheim#please please let me have the chance to work on that show someday#even if only so I can sit and hear that song from backstage#it’s one of my favorite musicals but if I’m choosing to listen to it it means I’m very confused or stressed in my (lack of) romantic life#in this case I’ve gone on two dates with a really really great guy but am unsure how to move forward#and it’s like deciding to date him opened my eyes to other possibilities and I’m like Hope what is happening#including a new guy who I’ve only JUST met like barely 2 weeks ago but in a few ways he’s like perfect on paper#including the fact he works in the same field as my dad and has actually emailed him in the past#and at the bar we and a bunch of other people were at he took the time to rave about my dad to everyone at our table#and explain how much he admires him from the few email interactions and his general knowledge of what my dad does#and I’m like ok ok major green flags#and yesterday was a hard day for him and I was witnessing it throughout our performance#and I was just finding myself feeling really really concerned and wanting to make him better#and now I’m listening to company and I’m like Hope. what. is. happening.

Internet Archive: Rally on the steps of the Internet Archive!!
This Saturday! April 08, 2023
Battle for Libraries sign up if you are going to attend the rally!
If you can't attend/can't make it that is completely fine! You can check for the live updates on Twitter by Internet Archive following the hashtag #DigitalRightsForLibraries
"...Make & share a rally sign & tag @internetarchive. Need a suggestion? Try:
- Internet Archive is a Library For Everyone!
- eBooks are Books..."
Here is a post with info better summarizes of what is happening to the Internet Archive
To summarize in case you have no idea what is going on (or just don't want to read the link).
Four (4) book publishing companies HarperCollins, Wiley, penguin random house LLC, and Hachette book group are suing the Internet Archive because during the pandemic their sales of books did poorly. So they are blaming Internet Archive, a library for the internet, for their poor sales because they believe their system for ebooks is flawed. Even though it's the exact same system as any old library with a library card.
Donate to Internet Archive!
#internet archive#signal boost#protect our library#rally#get the word out#it's already bad enough that many politicians can remove our books from many libraries but if we lose Internet Archive#then we lose what is equivalent to the Library of Alexandria#Don't think that this will not happen this is the fourth time they (Internet Archive) lost in the courtroom#These companies are desperate to take our internet library away! All because they did shit during the pandemic.#Which is so stupid because sorry for making sure I don't get covid during the pandemic book publishing companies#My bad for saving money to buy what I need during that expensive time I'll buy your expensive books when the next pandemic hit#reblog is very much appreciated#please get the word out so we can protect our internet liberty#that is also an archiving place to ya know Archive history of any medium

studying psychology literally does nothing for your understanding of yourself btw. you just end up with better knowledge of excel
#going to rant in the tags a little because maybe someone has the same experience#like. i am aromatic. and probably asexual. sometimes i feel like i might be in love with a person because i start craving company with them#but when i think about any romantic or intimate touch i start dissasotiating and get really weirdly sad and unenthusiastic about the idea#apathetic even. it's like i want something i can't describe or even get realistically#and my own relationship with touch is also really weird#i remember when i was an early teen i would deprive myself of touch in times of stress#if i was crying or something i would sit and spread my limbs so that they weren't touching each other bc i didn't feel deserving#of the comfort#and like!!! wtf!!!! nothing ever happened to me to cause that. did it#i'm literally just a normal girl#why am i like this and what is wrong with me. why can't i love normal why is it always an obsession and a game#why do i get interested and then when i finally understand the person i'm not anymore. people aren't rubix cubes but my heart thinks them so#sigh. please can i have one normal relationship with a person. one good friend#anyways LOL bye

Last night i dreamt that the whole chat history between me and my most beloved ex-coworker had been deleted. Truly one of the most horrifying nightmares i've had in a while
#first thing i checked when i logged in this morning was our chat#i was so sad in my dream lmao#also the way his name is so far down i have to scroll to find him is truly upsetting#ahhhhh#today was the first tuesday without him#(tuesday is urology newsletter day and i always worked for him that day which meant lots of fun exchanges#today was my first time being responsible for the whole newsletter too. scary)#(also it's not like i couldn't just reply to him on whatsapp and maybe get a reply back so we can stay in touch#i just genuinely suck at staying in touch outside of work. like please just let me send messages‚ brain‚ I'm begging you#)#tomorrow is office day again and i gotta say I'm really not looking forward to it#(also i really don't want to take the train lol. i know that it's stupid but i still think of that sound and jolt of the impact yesterday#i'm aware the probability of this happening twice on the same route within such a short time is very low#but it's still unpleasant to imagine- maybe I'll just stay in the back of the train from now on lol#or at least until I've forgotten about it)#okay oversharing time is over and i shall go to bed now#void screams#(but seriously do they delete these accounts at some point or do people who left the company stay there as ghosts#with a permanent out of office note~ i hope they do.)

boooo my sneaky plan to find out my potential new managers last name failed
#im not trying to do this for creepy reasons im doing it so i dont sound like an idiot at security tomorrow#bc in our limited communication so far i have only known him by his first name. and i feel like thats weird if i just say that at security#like yeah im meeting with so and so. no i do not know their last name. please let me in#like maybe itll be fine but just eugh#anyway my plan was to ask for this dudes email bc i know the company emails are like first initial last name#and i was like hey i can email you my servsafe certification if u want.#but he was like ok you can email it to me on your first day. buddy#and obviously its too weird just to ask someone WHATS YOUR LAST NAME like jeez#god.#and i cant find him trying to like see if he has a linkedin or something#oh well#much of life is sounding like an idiot it has happened before and it will happen again

when i get drunk in la i spend an hour pitching a wolf 359 tv show to any tv development executive in the area
#i did seriously pitch it to a company i was interning with but i fucked up because i told them to start at the beginning#and not at episode 9 like they probably should have#no matter. it WILL happen#hell if i land this development assistant job i’m circling i’m going to fucking MAKE it happen#it would make a great sitcom that slowly turns into a thriller#i just can’t decide if it’s a half hour or an hour long format#but just know this my dear tumblr fans. i will make this show happen by hook or by crook#i did chat with gabriel urbina on twitter at one point about the possibility of it#and he’s fuckin down so that’s not a limit. he just isn’t pushing it to studios he’s like if they want it they can come to me#well i’ll just have to make sure that happens then. because out of all the audio dramas i’ve listened to w359 would adapt the best imo#and i need to see zach valenti playing douglas eiffel please please please#literally keep the actors in their roles except for hilbert obv. they’re physically perfect no need to change them#but mark my words tumblr#it’s going to take some time but we WILL have a show

ngl it seems like everything has been going wrong for my dads side of the family these first two months of the year
#my grandads heart tried to fail twice and he had to be taken to hospital in an ambulance and get an operation to get a stent in#my grandmas alzheimers is getting worse and putting mental stress on my grandad and on top of that she was in hospital last week#for what we thought was a stroke but turned out to be a viral infection causing stroke symptoms#and when we went down last week to visit/for the concert we found out that my dads younger brother#who went to look after them when these happened till we could get down for each incident (he lives less than 2 hrs drive away#and we need to take a plane and then long drive to get there) actually had a fall at work#because the construction company he works for doesnt fucking care about their workers. and he hit like three or four things when he came off#the ladder and hit concrete ground and broke a vertebrae and other bones#and nobody! came! FOR FOURTY MINUTES#EVEN THOUGH THEYRE SUPPOSED TO WATCH CAMERAS FOR ACCIDENTA EVERY 2.MINS#he had to CALL THE AMBULANCE HIMSELF and now cant work for like 3 fucking months#so dad has got to help out both parents and his little brother and like fuck dude#can you give my family a break PLEASE

listen i have a LOT of really pretty smut books but i think the one i got in the mail this week takes the cake
[the chromatic fantasy by H.A.]
beautiful spot foil on the front cover plus guilded pages??? hell yes. hes a weighty boy for his size and *feels* incredibly luxurious in ways book nerds are sure to appreciate plus the art is absolutely gorgeous
very soft, sketchy style evocative of like 60s and 70s animation. every bit ive peeped at so far has been gorgeous but not super tightly cleaned like a lot of modern comics, so it feels really organic and raw, even at a glance. vvv refreshing
i preordered on a whim back in like, march when the announcement from @silversprocket crossed my feed and i have Zero regerts. i cannot wait to dive in and actually read it
#mochi rambles#mochi's bookshelf#is this a review???#i guess sort of huh#like i am incredibly easy to please so just cos i like something does not mean its some perfect product#but damn for a small pub title from a company AND author i had never heard of i am *impressed*#like its a perfect bound paperback the binding is basically the same as any others i have#but the design choices like the spot foil and guilding is just#clenches fist#so good for the art and story concept#and the paper weight and manu were both obviously chosen with care for the final product#like my only complaint is that my copy arrived a bit dinged up#but the box was a little crunched too so im sure it happened durring shipping#it happens nbd#but man i am like three seconds away from ordering a bunch more from silver sprocket now that i have a feel for em#if i can stop fondling the chromatic fantasy lmao

I wonder if the gang comes together in the finale to print Richie's photos of cops targeting gay men, and they all decide to blow up absolutely everything because they have nothing left to lose now that Constance has control and they choose do the right thing
That would be a good ending
#in the trailer Constance stops the presses on something#everyone runs into the room and it looks like they're up against Tina#but then Tina's in the last shot where joyce says everyone will know what we did#Richie is holding papers that say something about police#Doug's missing from the group but he's in shots with Constance#so he could be on the inside while everyone cause chaos behind the scenes#it's photos of cops brutalizing gay men#this is beyond minx#if the show gets renewed maybe they start a new company#all together#if they start over everyone can be in the positions they want to be in#if everything is gone it's just the six of them and they build what the want#blank slate#the magazine also felt like it got too big so if they're forced to start over it'll bring that underground underdog feel back#wait hold up stop me I'm writing the fanfiction ending I want to see#because if that's what happens I'll accept some of the things I didn't like about the season#it'll pay off#I've been holding out with some of my thoughts to see how the season ends#please let it come together#minx#aff watches minx#minx spoilers

I had so much to say halfway through the last episode, I was going insane, I had to walk away because it was so insane like twice. I was Prepared to say Everything that was on my mind afterwards but then BUT THEN THAT HAPPENED AND NOW IM JUST-
If I was more hydrated I would be BAWLING
Don't get me wrong, I'm gonna say everything I thought in another post, but I'm gonna do it later to give people time to block tags, but also seeing as we are literally #1 trending Hours before the season was officially supposed to drop, idk if there's anyone that HASN'T seen THAT yet. Also THAT is also already gifed and at the top of the page so like. Dear fucking God I am SO glad this actually came out early because if I only watched 1 ep every night for the next few nights there was NO way I wouldn't have been spoiled and been Absolutely Shocked and whiplashed
Anyway @neil-gaiman I'm devastated and now I have to go to work in a few hours after I wake up and I am Not gonna be able to think about fucking Anything ever again until this shit is Resolved.
I'm reading Every fix-it in existence after this.
I'm in shambles
I'm inconsolable
THERE'S A FUCKING CRACK SHIP THAT'S CANNON AND DOING BETTER THAN THEM IM NOT OK TTTOTTT
I have to stop typing now or I will never stop
#gomens spoilers#good omens s2#good omens 2#good omens spoilers#i legitimately collapsed off my bed. fully once. and partially once.#i spun in circles for a minute straight and monologued for 15 because i was so excited and happy about what was happening#AND THEN THEY HAD THE GAUL- THE FUCKING GAUL TO CALL ME OUT IN MY CROWLY-ISMS#YES WE ARE UNTRUSTING BECAUSE WHAT IF SOMETHING LIKE /THIS/ HAPPENS#*SOBBING SOBBING SOBBING*#*HYPERVENTILATING*#I AM GOING TO STOP EXISTING#i can't fucking do this#do not#DO NOT MAKE US WAIT 4 FUCKING YEARS-FUCK THE STRIKES#TAKE AS LONG AS YOU NEED FOR THOSE STRIKES BUT ALSO PLEASE COMPANIES JUST GIVE THEM THEIR FULLY EARNED MONEY SO US GAYS CAN /EAT/#TTTTOTTTT#im gonna be catatonic while at work

I understand a lot of the criticisms and hate Disney gets, and I’m not an Iger cheerleader per se, but seeing Chapek out & Iger back in as Disney CEO is giving me some small bit of hope for something that -like it or not- has been deeply connected & meaningful to my family for four generations. I’m celebrating in my own little way & holding onto this (hopefully) good news with all my strength.
#Disney#I haven’t displayed my cast member name tag for a while - it felt right to unearth it tonight#For the pain of what happened Sat. night and all the turmoil lately- I’m grateful for this silly tiny bit of good news#Re. the parks & imagineering specifically- there are a lot of other facets of the company that I know will also benefit from this-#- but with park cast members going back to my great grandfather- I want to see the ingenuity & artistry & care come back to the parks#Now can we PLEASE also start treating cast members better? With pay & benefits to match the unparalleled quality that’s expected of them?#And put an end to the decimation & forced-transplantation of Imagineering?#🎃 cryptid sighting

#my reading for class is discussing how whiteness is seen as neutral in the US while other races are seen as races#and i was thinking abt ppl using the yellow vs skin-toned emojis#(i'd rather use the yellow ones bc imo asserting whiteness as race can come off as white supremacist-y)#(but i'd love to read discussions of it from POC)#anyway then i was remembering this bizarre thing that happened when i was working with the bakery#i was assigned the task of taking inventory on the loaves we'd baked in a day and sending that amount to the number-cruncher#i've now forgotten her name#and she always sent me the dark-skinned thumbs-up to indicate that she'd gotten my numbers#which i was so pleased by bc everyone i'd met at the company was white#(cincinnati is 40% Black for context)#i was the only jewish person#i felt like she and i were secret allies against the overwhelming WASPiness of the company#i never said anything bc i didn't want to be weird#but it was a nice parasocial thing so i didn't feel so alone among all the normative whites#anyway i finally meet her one time when i'm at the main location#AND SHE WAS WHITE TOO!!#the /betrayal/#they finally hired two latina women later on so at least there was that#we got to share culturally specific stories it was great#but i'm still haunted by this woman#why did she use the dark-skinned emoji???#food mention

Uh oh
#i think a lot of people are about to mass quit at work#or something idk#theres stuff going on behind the scenes that i keep my nose out of because i wasnt born yesterday#and keeping my head down means keeping my job#but i walked into work today and the energy was immediately foul on top of me being here sick as shit#several call outs#one person said they were gonna text me about whats going on or something and now I'm freaked out#idk man idk i know daycares have high turnover because companies of all kinds are not immune to the corruption of greed#this just feels like my last daycare where they changed so much and threw so much work on me i quit#on top of fucking me over on purpose because of my wife having medical issues that turned out to be cancer#im just super not excited for this#can i please hold a job for longer then a year please...?#i worked at the liquor store for 3 years and they ran me off#worked at the pizza place for 3 years then we all got laid off#bro whatever happened to maintaining longevity of employees rhetorical question#idk i wanna go home i feel like crap#can we go back to a few months ago when the director we all adored was here and this place was decently run just with some bumps???#i went from having a director who i respected and loved to someone who is just another boss who pretends they care
