If you take a young man and woman and they both tell a stranger that they work in the same restaurant, it’s very likely that they will assume that the woman is the waitress, and the young man a cook.

But I thought a woman’s place was in the kitchen? Not when she’s being paid for it. I can’t believe it took me this long to realize the implication of this. A woman’s place is one of servitude.

this fucking hit me like a fucking train

How and when did I replace tumblr with instagram? I like tumblr more. I like the community and the posts more. When did this happen and how do I switch back

That relatable (older) Gen Z memory: when all the projectors and white boards got replaced by Smart Boards™ around like fifth grade and none of the teachers knew how to use them but they Had To Use them otherwise the school just wasted a bunch of money and it was a rlly weird transition

In 2009 my gr 7 teacher had a smart board and it was futuristic af. I support that shit. This might be the only technology at school I actually support

Hi, all.

My mom lost her job today. This is excellent news for her mental health - that place is a train wreck - and disastrous news for our financial state. She has been supplementing my income for quite some time so I can afford to, uh, live, and now…buh-bye.

Now, I’m okay at this precise moment, and so is she, but we’re not gonna be for long. She’s investigating her options for a new job, up to and including moving in with me, but the absolute earliest that would be feasible is probably March. I’m on daily medication, my cat is on daily medication, I’m driving a car that desperately needs maintenance, my computer is hanging on by a thread, and I still have five figures worth of dental work that needs doing. Also, y’know, I need to eat and keep my apartment. I’m working my ass off, but it’s not enough to live on, and I’ve already been denied a raise this year for bullshit reasons I won’t get into here.

Tl;dr - I’m in the infancy of a full-blown financial panic and would prefer to not let it get to full-blown status.

So. Do you have some shit that needs proofreading or copywriting? Is your resume or school paper in need of polishing? Is there something else I can do for you for pay? Please to be hitting me up. I promise I won’t gouge you.

Alternately, if your wallet just feels heavy and you wanna let a couple bucks go because you’re generous af, my Venmo is gracieminabox (like my username).

Thanks, loves.

Shout out to my Arabic teacher that looked at us yesterday mid-lesson and said, “I’m worried. You all look exhausted and depressed.”

Of we were all like, “Oh yeah we’re dead inside, you haven’t noticed?”

And he snapped shut the textbook, threw up his hands and said, “That’s not healthy! No more vocab! Time for dancing!”

And he taught us a dance from Iraq and we danced instead of doing vocab. We didn’t stop dancing until he saw all of us laughing and was satisfied that we were all feeling better. It was perhaps the coolest, most kind-hearted thing I’ve ever seen a college instructor do.

The year is 2022. You and your gang shoot down Amazon delivery drones and sell their contents for a living.

This isn’t fiction. This is going to be my career. @writing-prompt-s wanna start a gang?

I am down. What’s our gang name?

Being adult is having the “We have food at home” talk with yourself

voldy-morts:

do you ever think about how Alice and Lily were pregnant at the same time and since knew each other because of the Order they probably swapped pregnancy tips (and pregnancy horror stories) and picked out baby clothes and read parenting books and talked about names for the baby? do you ever think about how James and Frank bonded over how excited and nervous they both were to be new fathers and talked about what books they would read to the baby and how they just couldn’t wait to meet their new child? do you ever think about how Harry and Neville could have grown up together, having dual birthday parties and play dates and being as close as brothers, but instead when Harry and Neville boarded the Hogwarts Express for the very first time, their childhoods tainted with abuse and tragedy, they were nothing but strangers

I came on tumblr just to reblog this BECAUSE THIS JUST DESTROYED ME
