no idea where i was going with this but i abandoned it at the most disconcerting moment possible

Once US civil war 2 happens, Cuba should take Florida while they're not looking

A genocide researcher who is also a genocide survivor is rejected for job because of her evidence-based posts on an ongoing genocide.

oopsie our administrative staff (smol beans) just happened to enforce the bigoted status quo and selectively upheld rules against minorities while ignoring the actual hate speech and harassment that goes on under their watch! oh well, human error! "mistakes" happen, you know! 🤗🥰

Wind Waker

In retrospect maybe I should have taken it as a sign when the first anime I really got obsessed with as a teen was the one about the angsty gay girl and her upbeat canon girlfriend

I Think This Is Tom Cruise.

Just went to the grocery store and it is very close to midnight and so everybody there was pretty scrungy and tired and maybe whacked out, buying shit like cocoa puffs and cake (I was buying candy and ice cream so no judgement) and people were looking at me weird and I only realized until after I got home that I am like fully made up in a nice outfit and was very smiley and giggly bc I was listening to funny podcast and probably appeared to them completely out of touch with the reality of the situation I existed within

I truly don't have any words about what's happening in Ohio right now. I want to post something like I usually do. Give vocabulary, etc, whatnot. It's important, it's so important. But I don't have words. What could I possibly say about the level of devastation that has happened, is happening, will happen in the future? This is worse than the BP spill. And I don't know how to respond to that with anything other than a shocked numbness.

this sucks

I have a lot of words, many of them profane.

One of the things that makes me the MOST angry about the way teeth are treated in the US is the extremely open way that we discriminate against people with “bad” teeth. This is a perfect example. This lady lost her teeth to domestic violence and found herself the victim of a ridiculously discriminating “smile policy.” Sheetz is actively discriminating in hiring based on peoples’ looks. There is plenty of talk (and plenty of peer-reviewed research) about how “bad teeth” can lead to discrimination in the US, and this is a perfect example of how our feelings about teeth can ruin lives.

According to Business Insider, the employee handbook says “applicants with obvious missing, broken, or badly discolored teeth (unrelated to a disability) are not qualified for employment with Sheetz.”

First off, what the fuck does that even mean? Who is defining disability here, and who at Sheetz is qualified to diagnose an applicant’s dental issues?

Second, and I think this is way worse, is that this policy is directly hurting people where Sheetz is located. According to their website, Sheetz is located in Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland. That’s a lot of Appalachia and Rust Belt areas. Even if everybody in these states could afford comprehensive dental care, there are not enough dentists in these areas to serve people. PA, OH, and NC in particular have massive dental HSPAs (health professional shortage areas), and in WV and VA, you have people relying on Remote Area Medical clinics that are sporadically scheduled and often have massive wait times, simply because the people living in these areas are so removed from towns that can actually support a dentist. Imagine taking off of work for three days to camp out in a sports arena parking lot just for a chance at seeing a dentist and you’ll see what some of these people are up against.

Make no mistake: This policy is a way for Sheetz to discriminate against poor people, a lot of whom are the very clientele they’re serving. IMHO, that’s total bullsheetz.

And a disaster for the discussion of non-anime TV shows in fandom.

"Cool-down episodes" aren't filler.

once my brothers friend walked into his room and just started sniffing the air and went “oh i smell a quarter” and then walked over to a pile of clothes and moved it and picked up a quarter and i literally can’t stop thinking about it it’s been like a year and it haunts me to this day

did some silly little Sonic characters redesign/redraws
