thehairiestfeminist:

When women are not taught anything about sex–that it should be pleasurable for them, that their partners should listen to them and care about their needs, that they are allowed to say no, that they should never be coerced, guilted, or forced into having sex–women go into the sexual phase of their lives completely unprepared. It leaves them very vulnerable to being used, manipulated, and abused.

Dear Diary,

I may have to begin upkeeping daily updates.

Two days ago, we received spoilers on season 14 via pre-screenings, with promises of multiple punches in the face to antis in mere minutes.

Yesterday, we received the gift of Jensen merrily filming Misha Pieing Trump* in the face.

Today, 10/4/2018, Mitch Kosterman, brother of Clif, J2’s bodyguard, formerly in close association with the Kelloggs Club, retweeted this.

I am unsure the state the fandom will be in. There is one week left in hiatus and this shows no sign of slowing.

Honorable mention: J2 Hats are still arguing and angry about Jensen’s last interview and Jared’s lack of appearance. This storm may take the full week to subside.

Dear Diary,

It has not even been an hour, much less a full day, but the updates are still coming.

Fandom is reaching dangerous levels of JenMish. Everything is becoming rainbow. Please send some monochrome color palettes. 

I am SO IN for all of this rn.

Dear Diary,

People are staring at me while I am writing in my diary and aggressively eating popcorn, enraptured. Also, it has been brought to my attention that I failed to incorporate major updates of 2k18, such as The Ineffable Post. Perhaps, of course, because it is Ineffable. Apparently I deleted the memory base due to the level of personal exposure for the subjects related to the event, but it has been restored from my mental recycling bin. This, partnered with Mitch’s retweet, is threatening to make *me* think in Cockles wavelengths.

Help is needed, situations are dire. Packaged heteronormativity is urgently requested.

I am l i v i n g

Dear Diary,

The saga rapidly continues, unfolding before my very eyes. Mitch Kosterman seems to be taking some kind of stand for and about Cockles shippers. I am admittedly shocked by this course of events.

The tweet is still there.

The follow remains.

I commit these thoughts to text to ensure come-morning that this wasn’t some sort of lucid hallucination. 

*scratches in a late update* 14 years of awareness of anti behaviors cited directly from Mitch to those apologizing for the J2-hats currently hate tagging him.

Is this the real life

is this just fantasy

Shamelessly reblogging myself to add:

This is my second greatest moment on Twitter.

OMG THE “I LOVE THIS SO MUCH” IS MY TWEET I HAVENT BEEN BACK ON YET YIKES

Mitch: retweets a nice video of Jensen & Misha and may or may not have missed the caption.

Antis: do their usual and start harping on at him over something trivial.

Fandom: apologises for tinhats and supports him.

Mitch: Don’t worry I don’t care, ive known they’re idiots for 14 years nothing’s changed. Follows a bunch of cockles accounts. Doesn’t delete the original retweet.

“Millennials have made it clear they most want career advancement and growth, something not every workplace can offer on demand. But in lieu of those opportunities, many companies are resorting to quick fixes in an attempt to shape culture. Whether it’s free snacks, Ping-Pong tables, or beer taps, these perks—like participation trophies before them—are trinkets that do not thoughtfully consider the symptoms of the problem before providing a treatment. Vacation usage—a benefit repeatedly found to be more valued than raises, bonuses, and retirement plans—is a measure of trust and an important part of the work-life balance equation. Despite its value, a study by Project: Time Off revealed Millennials are not taking the vacation they earn. In fact, they are the most likely generation to forfeit time off, even though they receive the least amount of vacation days. Research into Millennial vacation behavior shows they are afraid, not entitled. Compared to Boomers, Millennials are at least twice as likely to say they are fearful of losing their job. This cohort worries about what the boss might think, wants to show complete dedication, and does not want their bosses to see them as replaceable. These findings are counterintuitive to the coddled Millennial stereotype that ignores the circumstances of the generation’s experience. Coming of age during an economic downturn has consequences.”

this sponsored post on the atlantic for a vacation planning app has a sharper insight into current labor issues than eight years of obnoxious thinkpieces from the atlantic abt millennials, this feels like a diss track

This

A thousand times this

I have almost 30 days on the books but things are so off balance I can’t afford to take time off. I took 4 days off last December and it was a disaster when I came in the next Monday. I’m running 55-65 hours a week because so much responsibility is put on me.

@deadcatwithaflamethrower If you need a good war chant.

Heres the basic info on this balad, since I don’t actually have the time to do an in-depth analysis. The first time I heard this song was by The Dubliners.

This version is my favorite.

OMG I love this and I am possibly now stalking this band.

YO

U.S. Amazon employee here!!!

Do not buy into that bullshit about us getting a “raise”. It’s not a raise. Not when workers who have been there 2+ years who made $13 when they started and now make $14 are only getting that $15 like every other new employee is. We should be getting payed $16 but we aren’t.

They already took away our ability to earn payed days off. Yup that’s right. Thru points earned thru productivity we could earn a payed day off if we had a certain amount of points.

Now they take away our monthly bonuses too that we earned thru attendance and productivity.

AND they took away our stocks because of this so-called “raise”.

All they did was move the money elsewhere. Actually, I haven’t done the calculations yet but I bet we LOST money from our pay.

That “raise” is bullshit. Fuck Jeff Bezos and fuck Amazon.

yeah from news reporting and other knowledge it is indeed an overall loss in compensation

they literally figured out a way to pay people less and also get bernie off their backs about it

Funny, my brother works for Amazon – he did the math and it’s actually better, especially since now people don’t have to wait for stocks to mature so they can sell and get their money. They’re just getting the money out right. Also, his wages, which were already higher than the 15 an hour, are going up in corresponding fashion.
