you do realize i am the last person to tag when you want to be self deprecating, correct? I have a love godzilla. a tar pit full of love. i will smash you to death with rocks of pure love, and then resurrect you so i can do it again, until you APOLOGIZE TO YOUR LOVELY SELF
also i am cool by sheer force of will so fucking remember that
Well, I had this coming to me. Did I realize it would get this aggressive? Not really. But tbh it made me wheeze xD YOUR LOVE IS APPRECIATED! We stan aggressive appreciation.
I also did lightly flick myself and apologize, because falsehoods are bad, so weโre โGucciโ as the kids sayโฆ I think. Idk what the kids say.
Anyways, I hope youโre having a good day/night because timezones are weird. ๐๐๐
Across the United States, there are 556 federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native nations. Each one has itโs own unique history and culture. American education has not bothered to tell us that Native people lived in peace and effectively governed themselves before the Europeans came along. American education has not informed us that Native Americans have been slighted ever since, not even being recognized as citizens (despite the fact that they were here first) until the 20th century.ย
But we donโt have to push these facts aside. We can stop celebrating a man that began a genocide and a terrible theft of land and culture, and start celebrating Indigenous Peoples for their rich history and their equal contributions to society.
To all Indigenous Peoples out there: weโre glad youโre here!
We will stand with you in your continued battle to be recognized as legitimate human beings instead of the stereotypes perpetuated by Columbus and those that came after him.

My college doesnโt want us to make popcorn in their shitty microwaves
look Iโll be the first to agree colleges couldnโt possibly take more money from us without just making Faustian Bargains but if one more freshman trips a fire alarm at 1am and makes the whole building evacuate because they donโt know how to make popcorn Iโm gonna fill the whole lobby with sand
Freshman who wants to make popcorn:ย
Senior who just wants to sleep:
HOW DO U FUCK UP POPCORN THERES A WHOLE ASS POPCORN BUTTON
Everyone going shopping on Black Friday, be aware of three things:
The retail workers are working 12 hours shifts. We are threatened with losing our jobs if we donโt show up unless weโre dying in the hospital. I had an assistant manager show up with fucking strep because he wouldโve been fired otherwise. Yes, he did infect 7 and hospitalize 2 coworkers; who knows how many members of the public he infected.
The stores have, maybe, 5 of that special cheap thing youโre after. Corporate does this on purpose, and stores are not allowed to order enough. The prices arenโt even that much lower. They lie about how expensive something is to fool you into thinking youโre getting a discount. You arenโt.
Most of the workers you will come across will be new hires for the sole purpose of being bodies for about three months before theyโre fired. They actually donโt know anything because theyโve been working there for maybe two weeks, and have had no real training. I was once hired at Staples a week before Black Friday and expected to know how to deal with phones, coupons, the online ordering site, and AS400 after five 6-hour shifts. This is the kind of person you will likely be dealing with at Black Friday.
Do me and my retail family a favor and donโt shop Black Friday. Any company that needs a sale day like Black Friday to get their sales out of the red doesnโt deserve to be in business.ย
This also goes for anyone that works shipment too. Weโre suddenly expected to stay as late as they want you to even if they know you donโt have a car and rely on a ride to get you to and from work and know you canโt stay late. Shipment workers will suddenly start getting berated for not getting things done and it is by far the most stressful time to be a shipment worker for any store. Especially when they throw in new hires that donโt know how to process things and are expected to work at the same pace as the people that have worked there for a while.
Retail is shit around the holidays, especially Black Friday
ok fellow millenials, itโs time to kill black friday
LETโS KILL BLACK FRIDAY
This goes double for Thanksgiving. More and more places are opening late on Thanksgiving; Gamestop is opening at 3 PM on Thanksgiving. My employer is and always has been open 24 hours on Thanksgiving.
Sometimes going out is unavoidable, please be as kind and understanding to the people forced to work as possible.
