@skinnylatte classmate from art school ended up kitchen manager for the in-house catering for Amazon in Seattle.

He said it was torture, because the kind of employee who won't get up from their desk for lunch wants pb&j or chicken nuggets with no sauce

Tumblr, you need to make peace with the fact that being queer means many people you admire and respect will be unhappy with your choices.

This is the "doing crimes" part of "be gay, do crimes" because being gay is itself a kind of crime.

I'm realizing that the reason why everyone on Tumblr is griping about the legitimacy of their various poly relationships is because Da Pope has issued a decree saying that marriage is a contract between two equal partners.

Which, progressive! They're not being homophobic! maybe we'll get a pope saying gay marriage is "fine as long as you commit to one person" within my lifetime.

But also, Tumblr, what did you expect??

Tumblr, the pope is not going to come out on his little balcony wearing a flower crown and decree that destiel is cannon.

Tumblr, the best we can hope for is the Catholic Church publicly condemning gay divorce.

@simx72 @0xabad1dea Ahh yes, the Three Cueing system.

@0xabad1dea this is like when they say art students should all be focusing on marketable skills like graphic design, as opposed to useless make-work intro classes on color theory and composition.

@ai6yr to be fair, Meta employees jacking off in the office was a notorious problem among security when I was working there.

I never saw it, but I heard a lot of stories.

@futurebird I think the "loneliness epidemic" is because women would rather be alone than date a guy who sucks. This is also true for queer relationships, but it's especially a thing among straight people.

I've heard lesbians have a high divorce rate, but I'm willing to attribute that to the lesbian tendency to U-Haul across the country to be with someone you've never met irl.

Told the clerk I was getting the old pro out of retirement for One Last Job.

FLOWER TIME.

I would not let mom buy ferns at the store. It is like buying blackberries at trader joes.

Flower time continues, we have picked up what I would consider "normal flowers" from the Safeway flower department, and we are making a quick pit stop for ice tea before going home for sword ferns and garden roses.

I have been stung by something (probably a yellow jacket) on the back of my knee.

Mom's yard

You may behold my bucket.

I have iced the sting/bite, we are equipped with garden roses and ferns, and on our way back to the hotel.

Why yes, I will live-toot my own wedding.

This car would smell great but mom is chain smoking, as is her right as an American.
