Ancient scribes detailing horrible events

happy ballpiss day!

"drug tests are good and keep people from coming to work impaired" is right up there with "cops catch bad guys"

literally knew people who's bosses would leverage threats of drug tests to get them to do very dangerous work without proper safety gear, knowing that they'd fail any drug tests because they give them shift schedules that would be unsustainable without stimulants

Somewhat related: Did you know that fentanyl can’t be absorbed through your skin like the old wive’s tale of it being absorbed through a cop’s leather glove? What most likely happened is some dumb cop took drugs he took off a dealer and snorted turbo heroin that hadn’t been diluted to a safe dosage yet, and instantly overdosed like that scene in Pulp Fiction. A year or two ago the local county Medical Director got in a public pissing match with a Chief of Police for pointing that out when another dumb cop passed out during a drug bust.

Not only is it not weird, it is ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED. Authors LOVE IT when people do this!!! Its not "weird" and its not "neutral" -- its a fucking DELIGHT. Feel very absolutely free to read though an author's entire back catalogue, leaving kudos and/or comments along the way; we absolutely freaking love when someone does this. There is nothing more joyful than getting a comment notification for an old fic. It will make our day, I promise.

There needs to be a special word for the warm, gratifying feeling that you get when you watch someone kudos everything you've ever written in a specific fandom in backwards order over 3 days. and that word needs a modifier to express the inexpressible joy when they start leaving comments on every story no matter how old it is.

nothing online is ever truly deleted. except that one fucking thing you're looking for

i just saw a post on reddit titled "the writer is cooking but the food doesn't agree with me" and it was about OP clicking off a fic because they don't like the direction it's going in. slightly different context but can we all be more like this reddit OP. i think "the writer is cooking but the food doesn't agree with me" should be the new "don't like don't read." dead doves may give you diarrhea but don't make that everyone else's problem.

Are YOU gonna let THE GOVERNMENT tell YOU what YOUR GENDER is? That doesn't sound like Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness to me! PROTECT your individual FREEDOMS and call your senator: we want the GOVERNMENT to stay OUT OF OUR PANTS! GENDER FREEDOM NOW!

Two men in your neighborhood are married... to EACH OTHER? Congratulate them for exercising their AMERICAN RIGHT to follow the footsteps of our FOUNDING FATHERS! They've got a fully AMERICAN spirit of FREEDOM and REBELLION! GOD BLESS THE USA.

Your coworker has a different RELIGION from yours? Well, that's just INTERESTING and you should talk about it on your UNION-APPROVED LUNCH BREAK. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA was FOUNDED on Freedom of Religion and ANYONE should be allowed to seek the AMERICAN DREAM!

You think someone might be in this GREAT country ILLEGALLY? NO YOU DON'T! No one is in this country illegally! The minute anyone steps on our SOVEREIGN SOIL they're your FELLOW AMERICAN and where they come from is NO ONES BUSINESS.

it's funny yeah, but guys this is actually how you reach the people who prefer these terms to frame all things Good and Correct.

not what I thought they was talkin about

#man cookie monster you're fighting bc the lid is closed!

Also me right now

love seeing revisionism in the wild “free the nipple never meant you can walk around topless every where that’s still sexual harassment it just meant for like breastfeeding and stuff”no it literally means you should be able to walk around topless anywhere because get this. breasts aren’t fucking sexual organs.

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s
