today at work a customer walked in wearing a reanimator t-shirt and after doing the most violent double-take to make sure it wasn't just my brain conjuring up delusions, i spent a full minute figuring out how to compliment it without coming across like a total rabid maniac

I am one of two people in two teamss at work who knows the Ancient and Forbidden Art of Refilling the Toilet Towel Holder.
The other one works part time.
The instructions on how to do it are on the inside of the dispenser, in helpful pictures.
At least once a week, several dozen fully grown women, trusted by a bunch of tight fisted fossils from accounting to pay out ten thousand euros or more, from both teams (including the leader of the team I'm not part of) see an empty towel holder and decide, rather than try and refill it themselves, rather than fetch either person who can fix the problem, what they really want to do is dry their hands on a soggy roll of toilet paper several people with wet hands have used before them, or just not wash their hands at all.
Our department head is mystefied how we hit the flu wave so early every year.
Today someone decided to throw out tuna in the nonrecyclable waste in the toilet. The trash cans are located in the least well ventilated area of the room.
And to top it all off, someone stepped in something that looks and behaves like excrement, walked into a stall, noticed stains that look like... well, shit, on the floor behind them and, instead of looking inward, walked to the other, still clean stall and soiled that too.
I've never been happier to be wearing a dress at work.
I already look forward to the email full of corporate euphemisms we'll get from the department head tomorrow asking what the fuck is wrong with us.

rage against america is so real and so legit and BOY do i feel it too. but also no power on earth will make me stop celebrating Explode Things Day because exploding things is a form of catharsis that i value deeply and lighting shit on fire is a fundamental human joy
and sometimes the thing you explode is decorated with some annoying patriotic rah rah USA bullshit, which means it’s actually REALLY satisfying to light that shit on fire y’all

100 Good Things From 2022
100 Good Things From 2022
I’ve been meaning to write again for a while, but I haven’t had it in me for one reason or another. Full transparency – I’ve ended 2022 exhausted. Mentally, emotionally, and physically worn the fuck out. Sure, 2022 has seen fleeting triumphant moments, joyful moments, and blissful moments, but for the most part, it’s been a harrowing deluge of fear, hopelessness and grief. But, I want to…

1941 - Disney animators went on strike after Walt Disney refused to let his workers unionize. The workers were angry about unfair policies on pay and benefits. On the picket line the animators lynched and guillotined an effigy of Walt Disney himself.
After four months Walt Disney caved to the demands and let the workers unionize, striking a deal which included the reinstatement of employees fired before the strike, equalization of pay, a clearer salary structure and a grievance procedure. [source] (this is a remake of a post that was deleted by @staff)

Czech customs taken out of context:
•Calling family and friends to kill a pig and eat it in an almost ritualistic nature
•Setting a flame and drowning an effigy of a winter goddess in an actual ritualistic nature
•Driving around a drunk ram in a decorated cart
•Guarding a shaved tree decorated with colorfull ribbons
•Chasing girls with a willow branch whip
•Carnival, but instead of dressing up as your favourite anime character, you wear funky tall hats with colorfull pom pomps glued on it, a hay costume and a bear mask, sometimes you see two dudes dressed up as a bride and a groom
•Dressing a young boy in a girl costume and pretending hes a king running away from Hungary in disguise
•Dressing up as Chort (Čert) to scare children
•Dressing up as white creatures with long beaks called "Lucky" to scare children but also adult men
•Divining future by throwing a shoe against the door, looking inside a frozen river, cutting open an apple or making a nut shell boats just to see if anyone dies or gets married next year
•Burning witches...that's it
•When drinking a toast, never cross hands with anyone, and make eye contact
•Tapping a glass of beer on a table before you drink it
• And if youre driving a car and see a village sign decorated in colorfull roses and ribbons, you're not getting out of the village any time soon

[REBLOGS > LIKES [tags appreciated!]
oh, but i'm outside, and waiting to see: a glow in the snow, coming closer to me
Tumblr media
[tumblr fucked the quality open in another tab]
GRAHAHHAHHHH THIS TOOK SO FUCKING LONG. GOD. BUT THEY MAKE ME SOOO ILL. I love you paladin i love you black gauntlet smothers flame i love you longing across traversable distances. fun fact i was intending to put echo particles since effigy's echo is like Right above her but it was too cluttery/didnt fit well. but know he is there. forced to watch his closest friend succumbing to this fate
crossing starscapes is co owned with @drake-dragon
something so fucked up to me about the only glow in the snow being the pearl- the manifestation of gauntlets unending rage as she has lost her mind to animal instincts. she knows she lost so much. she can't remember any of the joyous memories- the laughter, hell, their names! but she lost them. and she promised herself in the past she would not forget. and she hasn't. And she is fucking angry.
