Irony 30%

you are not immune to inventing an arbitrary set of rules that only you have to adhere to

the strongest bond is probably pad wings to themselves. the weakest is probably pad wings to your underwear

I absolutely adore dogs but I think dog haters are (usually) more justified than cat haters wrt their reasoning

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

Hell yeah moon holiday

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY

moon day is 20th July!!!

Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!

Happy moon day to all who celebrate

This is your reminder to prep for Moon Day on July 20th.

OH HEY, THATS TOMORROW

plot twist

kinder surprise

the plot chickens

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?

"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

The FAA had to explicitly make rules about how long pilots have to have off between shifts, and how far away from their home you can pin their home airport, because it doesn't mean shit that someone has 10 hours between shifts if they have a 2 hour commute each way. They had to make these rules because multiple passenger airplanes crashed because the pilots were exhausted from tight scheduling. Employers won't just work you to death, they'll take a hundred random customers with you.

I don't know how anyone can think your bosses won't work you to death when we literally had premature back to work orders during a massive viral pandemic not that long ago. I'm sorry but have y'all memory holed Covid so stubbornly that you can't even draw on recent experience? We went back to work so airlines could make money and our government could pretend everything was fine and white collar bosses wouldn't have to acknowledge how absolutely unimportant and inflated their roles were revealed to be by remote work. Does nobody remember the refrigerated trucks full of bodies in the first couple years of Covid? Does nobody remember how many truly essential workers died? So many of you stopped masking as soon as people up top said it was time to party again, even though rates were still high, people were still dying, and long covid remained a serious risk even with mild infections. If you're willing to kill or disable people just to go to brunch or the bar you better believe they're willing to kill or disable you for profit.

Thank you so much to everyone who has reblogged and shared (and added some very kind tags)! Sitting here still teary eyed. I will have to keep reblogging this from time to time because my social media presence has shrunk to just this tumblr - whenever you can, please give this post a boost! ;*; <3
