WAKE UP BABE EASTERN EUROPEAN CHO CHANG JUST DROPPED

@kos-chei im REELING!!!

"first white person to ever sucessfully br racist against other white people" the oppression and violence against polish and other eastern european people in england and Britian extends before and after J.K. Rowling writing this piece of shit.

Like I get the "joke" but you're ignoring the decades of shit polish people have faced in this country that she building off of. Its not 'white people on white people racism haha' its contributing to structural oppression and xenophobia thar exists here.

I went to Ireland (Republic of) this summer and virtually every low-wage service worker from the cab drivers to hotel staff were Eastern European migrants, many of whom were refugees from Ukraine. This shit's nothing new. EU and rich non-EU European countries like Terf Island are built off of cheap Eastern/Central European migrant labor (and MENA + Asian migrant labor too ofc)

whenever I decide anything I need 15 people to say "that's a good idea" to me otherwise I feel like I'm making a catastrophic decision that will ruin my life. in a chill way I'm chill

common misconception! actually the only way to tell if someone is a top or a bottom is to know their preferences regarding penetrative sex ❤️

wait you guys actually think you can know someone's sexual preference from their mannerisms or an internet persona? like. that wasnt a joke?

oh you think bottoming is feminine and weak and generally a "lesser" form of enjoying intercourse.... no no yeah thats totally a #queer progressive opinion and definitely not a take from like 500 B.C.

Ask a community organiser: can you organise with Fran Drescher as president of SAG-AFTRA even though she's an antivaxxer? On broad based organising versus issue based organising.

Friendly reminder that unions are more effective at reducing workplace inequality than any corporate sensitivity training program.

[ID] Klaudia Amenábar @kaludiasays on twitter says “in all seriousness SAD asking for no cosplay of characters from struck productions the week of SDCC is a really smart move. if people actually follow it in solidarity it will be a REAL disruption these companies don't want bc they rely on fans doing 90% of marketing nowadays.

#what if people who were going to cosplay a struck character instead dressed all the same #like maybe they dress as picket signs or 404 error scenes #or they all do the holes cut in a sheet ghost costume #imagine a sea of 404 errors

marlinspirkhall:

This was the first I've heard of this but apparently SAG-AFTRA would like cosplayers not to dress up as characters from Live Action media

Even before the strike half the big companies werent doing big panels there anyway, relying on some actor promotion, their owned conventions and events, and [caps] FANS. [/caps] fans creating disruption as well to help the workers would be very visible as well.

and if it's for months and several conventions, and creators pivot their content away for long periods of time, it'll really make their pockets hurt bc they [caps] BARELY [/caps] pay for owned marketing anymore and again, rely on fans. [caps] DRAIN THEM DRY. [/caps]

[ID] quoted tweet from Estar Guars Tia @estarguarstia reads Ok guys I got a response.

We are asking folks not to do cosplay if it would promote struck productions. Yes, you can promote comics, books, and games, as this is not struck work. That being said, performers are being asked to refrain from promoting struck work, including past productions that would have been struck if produced today. [End ID]

Am I allowed to promote struck work on social media as a fan and not in a paid capacity?

Influencers should refrain from posting on social media about any struck work regardless of whether they are posting organically or in a paid capacity.

Can I attend conventions as a fan as long as I am not being paid to promote anything?

You cannot participate in conventions such as Comic-Con on behalf of, or to promote, companies we are striking against- this includes appearances, panels, fan meet and greets, etc. involving struck work. You may participate in a convention in ways that are wholly independent of characters from struck work or sponsorship by struck companies. If you have any questions relating to this distinction, please contact SAGAFTRAstrike@sagaftra.org. [end ID]

When I was a kid, my dad hated when I hung up anything on my walls. My art, band posters, movie posters, anything. Not with taxks, not with tape (it “ripped the paint off”) not with anything. At one point in 5th or 6th grade he came in my room and found me hanging up a Diary of a Wimpy Kid poster with tacos and he was like “EVERY HOLE YOU PUT IN THE WALL TAKES $10 OFF THE VALUE OF THE HOUSE.” so when I was mad at him, I’d insert tacks into the wall in places he couldn’t easily see just out of spite. Whoever owns the house now is probably wondering about it.

bro didn’t even know you could just fill holes with toothpaste 💀

I know this is about an owned house (that you should be touching up and repainting the walls of before reselling anyway???) but for ppl who are paranoid about putting holes in rental walls: don’t be.
Put up posters. Shelving if you need it. Have hanging plants. Invest in a studfinder. Spackle kits are cheap and everywhere now, or you can use white toothpaste, glue, or even soft air-dry clay to fill holes.
Scuffs and rub marks are considered normal wear and tear and landlords can’t charge you for them. Most places will have you fill holes but will have to repaint between tenants anyway, so even if the spackle doesn’t match the walls, it’s not a big deal. Check your state laws about what is considered normal wear and tear. Most states have laws covering everything from paint to flooring. For instance, in my state, carpet that is 3+ years old is considered past its normal life cycle and therefore any damage to it cannot be charged for because the landlord/management is expected to put in new carpeting.

Before any move-out, check local laws considering paint, flooring, light fixtures, appliances, etc. Landlords and management companies make BANK on people not knowing that they’re paying for paint rubs that they’re painting over anyway and carpet that has been paid for 6 times over.

Reminder: they’re never ever ever ever going to give you your security deposit back no matter what you do. have fun with life.

Actually, if your landlord isn't giving your security deposit back without good reason (in new york, they gave to give you a itemized receipt listing why they deducted from it) bring them to small claims court. Don't let the bloodsuckers get away with your money.

Our last landlord tried keeping all the deposit and charging is for more. When we moved in, I took a whole lotta pictures. I took pics when we moved out and did my research regarding local laws and looked at how frequently tenants win in small claims court here. Over 80% of cases are in favor of tenants.

So I wrote a very professional letter to the landlord and property management company. I provided this information and sent a CD with copies of before and after pics of the place with notes, like the place hadn't been cleaned before we moved in, there was a hole from the second bathroom to the outside, large enough to fit a fat raccoon, husky fur everywhere, nails, hooks, and tacks in the walls, footprints on the ceiling, human hair on the walls and ceilings of the main bathroom.

I informed them they had 60 days to return our deposit or we will take them to small claims court. Local laws state that if a tenant wins, we receive 3x the deposit, and the landlord pays all court costs and fees. 58 days after sending the letter, we received our deposit with an apology for "confusion."

These people are dependent on ignorance. Be aware, be knowledgeable, and make them afraid.

I never want to hear conservatives go on about repressive censorship in China, North Korea, and Iran ever again

To be clear to those unfamiliar: these are the companies that libraries use to lend ebooks.

They are literally cutting off library access to minors.

OMG wtf Hoopla literally has a "kid's mode" that's JUST children's materials FOR CHILDREN. Most of these apps do now! This is an overreaction and and overreach of power, plain and simple.

This sheep tablet woven band might be the cutest thing I ever did. Probably because I don't do cute things often. But now I get the appeal.

I just thought this was a good, temporary catio option for people in apartments or without a good space to build a more permanent structure.
