Sorry guys but I’m having to lock my messages down to mutuals only bc after I shut my inbox the spam just moved to messages and I’m tired of playing whack-a-mole. Non mutuals are still welcome to engage with my posts, I just don’t have the bandwidth to keep up otherwise.
Everyone reblog with your most unemployable traits
I went looking for more info on this school, and found it's part of a larger! effort in educating women both in modern skills and in traditional local arts. (Educating girls is a proven way to improve health and fight poverty for the whole community).
Great quick read if you need a break from doomscrolling :
I like that this implies that it's a difficult thing for employers to do and that it will take two years to roll it out. Like just write it down girl
...who in the UK is NOT showing salary in their job ads?

Today has been A Day
Awake again. Off to the cop shop, got an event number for insurance. Called a towing company to try track down Dad’s glasses (came off during the accident). Lovely bloke said they didn’t have it, but he called around for me and found the car!
I’m seeing the doctor, was going to pick up a prescription and get a mental health care plan but might have to use it for the accident instead, not sure if I can do that due to privacy laws but we’ll see. Then I’ll swing by the towing yard - opposite direction to the hospital, sadly - and see if I can get Dad’s glasses. Then off to the hospital and hopefully Mum can come home with me.
terfs posting their Ls
its nice to see stuff like this because it reminds you that theyre actually the weird ones. their rhetoric just relies on them portraying themselves as "voices of the people" fighting for what no one else will stand up for, despite most people probably thinking their behavior is embarrassing and not worth it. open terfs, racists, nazis, homophobes, misogynists, general transphobes- are all just extremely pissed off and angry minorities that make it everyone else's problem as much as they possibly can so that they seem bigger than they are. that doesnt mean they arent dangerous, it just means we can win. we've got a fighting chance against these losers.
This really ought to top every, “Best Opening Lines,” list. The 21st century reading public is sleeping on Dorothy L Sayers.
The whole first paragraph is worth quoting for its snarky conclusion:
"The best remedy for a bruised heart is not, as so many people seem to think, repose upon a manly bosom. Much more efficacious are honest work, physical activity, and the sudden acquisition of wealth. After being acquitted of murdering her lover, and, indeed, in consequence of that acquittal, Harriet Vane found all three specifics abundantly at her disposal; and although Lord Peter Wimsey, with a touching faith in tradition, persisted day in and day out in presenting the bosom for her approval, she showed no inclination to recline upon it."
Evie meets Kali, clocks her as a baby Ravnos and immediately decides that she needs to fuck with her on principle
She's then absolutely yelling to Zain about it because 'I FOUND ANOTHER ONE!!!'
Zain, uncertain as to whether he should be horrified or delighted: oh my god there’s two of you
Life sucks and shit happens update
NO ONE is answering their phones rn except for my brother. I’ve texted two of my coworkers that I’m not coming in and neither of them have seen my message. Parents haven’t checked their phones either and I don’t know if Dad even had the presence of mind to take his out the car - obviously they’ve literally just been in an accident so no shade on them but the waiting for SOMEBODY, whether them or coworkers, is killing me rn
Update.
I have been running back and forth between the carpark, my mother’s room at the hospital, my dad’s room at the hospital, and the copshop, and I am Exhaust.

Can anyone help me find an image post? It was by a conservative Christian, lamenting that trans people twist and shape their body in defiance of god's will or something. Does anyone know the one I mean, or something similar? Reblogs appreciated for visibility.
You discover that you have control over a certain thing, as determined by spinning this wheel. We're talking full-on magical girl/superhero/supervillain/your label of choice control.
Fire? Oh my.
My apologies to the superhero genre. Turns out, the mask isn't just a cheap and hackneyed trick to have your cake and eat it too (look cool like an outlaw, behave like a cop), it's got legit uses.
I mean I HAVE to do some firefighting during the summer / wildfire season. Environmental concerns and loss of life aside, even just selfishly, it's depressing to see forests go up in smoke, and extra depressing to know it's a toss-up if they'll eventually regrow or some real estate vultures with government contacts will swoop in to turn the ashes to fucking concrete. It's heartbreaking to drive by burnt forests every fucking summer, every fucking September, especially when you remember them lush and green last time you passed by, and all while observing the desertification of the Mediterranean in real time. So that's a no-brainer.
But OFF the wildfire season? When organised fire departments with lots of people and vehicles on standby are orders of magnitude more capable to handle small scale fires across large areas than a single magic person? And me with full fire control? Why, I HAVE to cause problems on purpose. And insurance fraud.
Control of the void. I am going to outer space, I will catch y'all later. I am willing to bring scientific instruments with me! Anybody wanting to get shit up there, give me a bell!
If absolutely pushed, if something apocalyptic is happening, sure, I guess I can swing by and put the big bad in a pit of emptiness. That'll be fine. But I'm not going to be here most of the time, so don't be depending on that or anything.
Why is there not an option for 'make mischief'?
I've got full control of crystal. I can make crystals in crystal shops vibrate and glow. Even levitate.
I can control actual gemstones! The British Museum is going be stripped of its stolen treasures. Blood diamonds will be MARKED.
I can control salt and sugar crystals. Nothing will ever taste right again unless I want it to. You will never know if you're about to eat sugar or salt until you taste it.
Edit: I have now Googled it and apparently we have crystals in our bodies, especially our eyes. Congratulations. Human eyes now glow when I feel like it. Maybe I'll make us RL Mary Sues so we can have different glowing colors depending on our emotions.
I got time.
I’m going to Christmas Carol the SHIT out of some billionaires!
