Violence set to happy music will never get old to me. Blood splattering to an 80s pop song is like a sister to me because I'm not allergic to fun.
A real thing that happened is me as a teenager.
I had what turned out to be a dangerous walking pneumonia, for a week, but the manager at Burger King wouldn’t let me off. My breathing was very loud and ragged. I was coughing on and breathing on the food.
I wasn’t allowed to leave. I was told if i called out, I was fired.
So Im shuffling around wheezing loudly swaying with my high fever as I work drive thru by myself, and a paramedic walked in to order dinner.
He goes ballistic, My friends. He demands to see the Manager. he chews him out at the top of his lungs so the whole restaurant can here. Guys working the back came up to watch. Customers staring and thinking hard about the infectious food they were eating. Dude losing his shit about how infectious I was and all the people management had been endangering for days judging from my breathing and I needed to be home on antibiotics RIGHT NOW and the health Department was going to hear about this.
I went home. i got the week off. Didn’t even need a doctor’s note.
Getting friends management doesn’t know to do this WOULD WORK.
Same manager not letting me take my influenza home a year later despite repeated vomiting? Threw up in front of customers. Customers demanded money back and started threatening the manager with lawsuits.
I got to go home and got time off until I stopped vomitting.
GO AHEAD and THROW UP in front of Customers. THEY will Complain.
Don’t be shy.
They are supposed to let you stay home when you are sick. Stop protecting management. (Hiding how sick you are protects management). They are abusing you. Let them reap what they sow.
Hey y'all. With the Writer's Guild of America on strike, you might be hearing a lot more about something called "residuals," which are payments that the writers get for the studios continuing to air their work on reruns and such. Already I'm seeing people trying to frame the union trying to bargain for better residuals as greedy and unreasonable, so I just wanted to give you guys a peek into my dad's full, 100% real residual payments for writing some of the most watched episodes of American late night television.
Yeah lol. If u hear anyone trying to frame the conversation around residuals as writers being greedy, please do me a favor and punch them straight in the face ❤️🙃🙃
The last time I saw any real money from film and TV was in 2008, when I got a substantial cheque from the WGA (who administer residuals and such) for my share as cowriter of the Beowulf DVD. And then DVDs were done and became a niche market.
These days residuals are... well, something you can take a friend to dinner with. Not something you could pay a monthly mortgage or the rent with.
(And I'm fine. My TV work over the last 5 years has been subsidised by my book and comics work.)
But I just got one even smaller than the one cent residuals...
Actually my trans womanhood has a lot to do with men. Gay men, gender nonconforming men, drag queens, femboys, these groups all inspired me to transition. Yes I wanted to live a life of a woman but I never even realized that was possible before being exposed to gender conformity in men. It provided the basis for me to realize that I too could dress and act in any way I wanted.
My trans womanhood also has a lot to do with lesbians and gender nonconforming women. The lines are blurry in my personal experience. It’s been blurry in our actual real history as a community.
It’s not transmisogynist to recognize and cherish these connections we have to other gender nonconforming people, women or otherwise.
I'm transfem, but my egg was cracked by seeing transmascs living and loving their best lives. Seeing more and more of the full range of human experience showed me that I am not confined to the boxes society put me in.
Funnily enough (though I don't identify as a man, I am f -> m) my egg got cracked the same way. I'd grown up in an incredibly insular, Christian community and family. Accidentally stumbling upon femboys and yaoi as a preteen was how I realized there were even other options, and then by 14... What do you know. I came out. Seeing people who do not conform is so, so important. You're all wonderful.
color palettes make my brain go brr :>
all these names came from my lovely friends and followers! they sent me the names, and i made palettes based on them! y’all can send me requests with the palettes (sorry if it takes me a while to do them my brain is soup) or reblog and use them yourself!
if you make art with my palettes please tag me! i really want to see it!
i am putting that in slightly bigger text so that people will see it and hopefully listen, i need the free dopamine
"you dont experience OPPRESSION for being a trans MAN but for being a TRANS man. hope that clears things up :)"
Actually I experience oppression for being a TRANS MAN because they are both significant parts of my identity and you can't erase one to emphasize the other. Hope that clears things up :)
there's a lot of reasons why "men bad" rhetoric sucks and isn't helpful but tbh i wish people would hear "it hurts transmascs" and that would be enough. i wish people would hear "it causes so much self loathing and repression to transmascs and keeps people closeted and miserable or out and abandoned" and it would be enough for them to rethink some things.
Anytime i see a bunch of pride flags i have to restrain myself from saying "where mexico" bc i doubt anyone will know I'm referencing this
