@MorePerfectUS: Bangladesh is raising the minimum wage for garment workers by 56% after workers led mass protests. Weeks of strikes had shut down factories for brands like Gap, H&M, and Zara. Worker groups plan to keep protesting, saying the new $113/month wage falls far short of fair pay.

I’m lowkey excited for the show, but I can’t actually handle horror very well so…we’ll see.

the whole time I was reading Mexican Gothic it kept reminding me of this tweet

happy halloween! here is a ghost duet

WHAT THE FUCK

sometimes, when you’ve been collecting ponies for a while, you get one and then you realize that’s the last one you needed in a set. today the pony I’m washing is mommy bright bouquet; she’s part of the loving family pony line. these ponies were sold as families of three. in the united states they came all in one big box, though i believe in the uk they were packaged separately and you could also buy an additional sibling. but whatever country you’re collecting in, they are vintage toys, and it’s obviously really common for them to get separated over the years, so you’re pretty much just gonna pick them up one at a time. in my case, i started actively collecting in around 2004, and at that time hasbro was not manufacturing any boy ponies. which means when i was looking at the vintage toys, i was very drawn to those. so from the family sets, i tried to get dad ponies. in the case of the bright bouquets, i actually already have a dad and a baby, so i was pretty excited when i was going through my big bag of ponies that need restoring, and i saw that the mom was in there. i think it cleaned up really nicely, and it’s going to look great on my shelf, next to the family. but, i have to wonder: from the pony’s perspective, does she just accept this as a happy reunion? can she not tell these apart from her original husband and child, or does she feel in her bones that something is not quite right? and, of the two possibilities, which one would be worse?
