So for members of bdsm Dungeons, it's a rule that you don't approach other members if you see them on public for privacy reasons. They might not want people knowing they're a freak.
That said, it's normal to make friends in that space who you hang out with, outside of kink stuff. When that happens and people asked where I met my friend, my go-to line was "Spin-class," which is a very funny joke if you know me even a little. Very not my scene.
Well, funnily enough, while I was working at a homeless shelter, we had a very similar rule because of the homeless stigma. If a guest from the Shelter sees you outside of work, you don't acknowledge or approach them. They can approach you, but you don't tell whoever you're with where you know them. The guest gets to decide if they want to share that info.
Smash cut to me being out with a friend I met at the dungeon a very long time ago. I bump into a guest from the shelter who approaches me to chat. My friend asks how I know the guest, and without thinking, I blurt out "spin class" before remembering that's my go to lie for how I ment dungeon friends. These two proceed to have a conversation, neither fully understood.
Friend: ooohhhh okay i get it. Spin class! Me too. Stopped taking that class a while ago tho.
Guest. Oh for real? That's sick man, good for you! You got a good set up now?
Friend: The best!! I've taken up wood working so my furniture is all custom. Got plenty of space to do "spin" at home. It's coming together.
Guest: Hell yeah brother!!!
Friend: was really good to have my own space during the rona, but man it's lonely! I kinda miss the group dynamics.
Guest: Yeah, i heard that from my homie when he got out of "Spin class!" But it's for the best.
Friend: it can be, but its not for everybody. Can be safer to Spin in a group.
Guest: i know that. Lost a few homie to "spinning" alone. At least at the "class" you got other eyes on you.
Friend: I'm sorry to hear that! You know some elements of "Spinning" are risky but you never think anyone would get hurt. So, my buddy here still a real hard ass for safety?
Guest: oh man you dont even know. They revamped our whole fire escape plan.
Friend: Oh shit! They did that back when i was in Spin class too!
Guest: still improving the system i guess.
Friend: they still keep a bunch of robes outside in a shed so people who get out can cover up?
Guest: Yes!!!
Friend: Did you know it's their fault we have a 30 second rule!
Guest: Damn really!?! Makes sense tho, if there's a fire you gotta get out fast!
Friend: Yeah, I Never gave it much thought before they brought it up, but yeah the last thing you want is a fire when you're all tired up!
Guest: Yeah, that's true. I didn't know they came up with the rule, tho. I do like having the space between the beds clear...
Friend: Yeah it's so annoying when people block the path with their shit.
Guest: Yeah there's not enough space between beds for people to be hording shit.
Friend: Yeah! I loved that they always got people to keep their area clear.
Guest: not gonna lie i hate being told to clean up but it is better that way.
Friend: Yeah... haha.
Guest: well it was nice chatting with you brother.
Friend: you too, man! See ya around!
Guest: see ya!

Oh my friend, I shit an entire brick house.
Two characters are discussing something... but they're discussing two totally different things. Their actions and responses — vague enough t
When the health food store unionized, something wild happened that I thought was just a goofy one-off, but makes more sense now.
There was a big push to eliminate "degrading jobs" but the strategy was to eliminate the position, then create a new position outside of the bargaining unit to do the work. So like, we wouldn't have dishwashers, but we'd have people who washed dishes that weren't eligible to be in the union.
I was like A) what the actual fuck? Dish washing isn't "degrading", it's fucking vital. B) What the actual fuck? You want to create a union just to exploit different people?
There were enough of us to be like "Absolutely the fuck not," and put a stop to it, but I was absolutely flummoxed that people involved in a union would say that out loud. Working with more leftists now, it makes sense.
I think it was coming from a background that viewed labor as necessary to accomplish anything, but advocated for the equitable distribution of the gains made by labor... and then being thrown in with people who just thought labor was icky.
The first time someone told me that busing tables was "degrading", I was like "Oh, uhh, yeah, like it's very necessary work but under compensated for how vital it is?" and they responded "No, touching plates that other people have eaten off of is disgusting."
But I want to eat off of clean plates. So somebody is going to have to touch/clean those plates. And I respect that person and want them to be able to afford to live.
Those people sound like a guy I'd make up to be mad at.
I mean, that job definitely had a Truman Show vibe. If they hadn't been in-person interactions, I'd think I was getting trolled.
Just to put a bow on it:
In bargaining, someone on the Union side suggested that we eliminate all the cashiers and exclusively use self-checkouts (they were a cashier and didn't like it). The organizer told them that the union wasn't in the habit of eliminating bargaining unit positions. (This is the same person I've talked about how said that "as a prison abolitionist" we just needed to execute most criminals.)
When I explained holiday scheduling (time off requests granted in order of seniority, shifts assigned in reverse order of seniority). Someone was angry and said that time off requests potentially being denied "wasn't in the spirit of the union". When I pointed out that our departments made like 30% of our annual revenue between Thanksgiving and New Years and that required production staff to be working, they said that we just needed to create a class of positions ineligible for the bargaining unit that wouldn't be able to request time off. (Which again, most of us figured we'd just rotate holidays or something, but assumed that some holiday production was mandatory.)
I was on leftie tiktok (as a creator) for a bit and I saw this attitude there as well. I specifically remember one argument around cleaners where someone said that employing a cleaner was, like, ethically bad, and that "after the revolution" we wouldn't have cleaners.
It got me thinking, along with Ann Russell talking about how to treat cleaners (being a cleaner herself), about how we conceptualise domestic service as particularly degrading in all its forms, when, really, why is that? Why is paying someone to do something intrinsically bad?
Like, even in a moneyless, gift economy society, there would still be people whose primary contribution to their communities would be cleaning. Some people like to clean, and are really rather good at it.
I've talked ad nauseam in the past about how British attitudes towards cleaners and other service based positions today are the descendants of Victorian attitudes. That is, both the attitudes of conservatives and many progressives of that time. The trade union movement was particularly exclusionary towards service workers.
I think people on the left thinking about forms of labour can sometimes be worse than people on the right. People who have taken these positions generally just conceptualise them as something you need to do to get by, and there are particular employers where these positions are degrading but in general the jobs themselves aren't.
Yeah, that really sums it up. There's stuff that needs to get done, so I'll never be of the opinion that it's degrading work. I worked in kitchens for a long time, and every other position is reliant on having clean dishes, so nobody can really be "above" washing dishes. The shitty thing about washing dishes or busing tables is how people treat the people doing it. The work itself is vital.
And some of those jobs are like, sure, you can throw almost any warm body at it and get it done adequately, but you still run into people where you're like "Holy shit, you're good at this."
People doing a job most people don't want to do should be paid MORE in order to get people to do it. That's how it would work if we weren't mired in a schema assuming that less-frequently-desired jobs are the province of people who "can't do better" and "deserve" poverty because they have less value as people.
Yeah. Shit jobs should have Platinum wages, and command a degree of respect at least equal to the relief you feel for not being the one who has to do that job yourself.
I'm reminded of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. There was a point in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, where the Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B was revealed to be crewed entirely by people deemed "useless", and included telephone sanitizers. After this, the Golgafrinchans still living on their homeworld died from a disease spread entirely via unsanitized telephones.
I should draw rouge the bat. But in what circumstance
I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

Where else but tumblr can you see greater insights to your own nature completely detached from your self made by strangers that know you without knowing you and will only ever recall the phantom of an echo once farted into the abyss, never your name
And nobody will even tell me how to draw rouge the bat

@penny-anna ok i've promised myself i'll actually do the things i need to do today after this. but first. i have followed up the mystery of the weird bathroom flat
first of all. it is definitely a false lead on the hmo front (but i think i solved that with the 5 bed hmo across 2 flats earlier.) this is the building across the road whoops. i got the numbers mixed up. this explains why it looks so different.
i've made it in to a new post cause of that. to not complicate matters by talking about 2 different buildings on one post.
ok so this square fan is at the front of the house. the window by the bathroom has a round fan. so if i find the round fan i can find if the bathroom is in the stairwell or not
there was a tree in the way on maps so i went on google earth
so opposite the square fan i found the window from the stairlwell
went round the back to look for the round fan.
but the windows were all warped!!! so i couldnt see if the fan was there or not
anyway based on the windows that we can see in the listing photos this is the part that we know is the flat
so without any other way of knowing. i reckon the flat extends a bit past that and the bathroom is one of those double windows at the back which would make it...in the entryway of the flat?????
so yeah. case closed i think.
it does really look like a lovely area. theres really nice allotments there. it was being sold for 30k so i really reckon someones got a bargain if they can do it up nice. bit of work and you'd never know it once looked like that
OMG I SPOKE TOO SOON. NEW LEAD
That is a chimney!
Making the actual location of our flat here
Here's the front door (has locks)
So where is the bathroom?
On both sides of corridor there are these weird lumps
And there are 2 doormats even tho there can't be room in that stairwell for 4 flats. Therefore I am proposing. The bathroom is outside of front door. You get to it via the stairwell.
this is all excellent analysis but on close inspection of the photos
i think this has gotta be the bathroom door?
Me today, all day.
Yes, exactly!

I need to run a survey really quick. This isn't serious, but I need people to cooperate and not cheat for the sake of it because it'll skew the results.
Imagine you wake up tomorrow and you realize you (and everyone else in the world) can turn into an animal (And back into a human) at will.
Please go to this link to see what animal it will be for you:
Generated a random animal species: A goat, armadillo, orangutan, porpoise, cheetah... Nearly 200 different animals!
(this is random, and yes, you only get one, no redos)
With this in mind, please reply to the following questions as truthfully as possible based on your current situation. (Not an ideal fantasy one.)
How do you feel about this, in general?
Good! I like this animal.
Okay. I'm not thrilled but not disappointed.
Meh. Not the worst.
Not great. I'm pretty disappointed.
Horrible. This is my worst nightmare.
It's complicated./I'm conflicted.
How often would you turn into this animal?
Pretty often, just for fun.
Pretty often, for a specific task.
Sometimes, just for fun.
Sometimes, to do something a human cannot.
Rarely, but still for fun.
Rarely, only if I absolutely need to.
How open would you be about what animal you are?
I'd tell anyone and everyone!
I'd tell my friends and family.
I'd tell my closer friends and family.
I'd try to keep it mostly secret.
I'd prefer not to tell anyone, ever.
Would you want to get to know other people who also transform into the same/similar animal?
Yeah! I'd join a subreddit or a club for sure!
Probably. I'd like to know what makes us similar.
Eh, only if it comes up in conversation naturally.
Not really. I don't think it'd connect us in any way.
No. It's not a good metric for friendship.
I got a zebra! :D
i....found a rare shoegaze tape. legit. band does not exist online. tape is at least 20 years old. This is so Sam
rare tape.
ok ok....track for you from rare tape. ripped by me
I HAVE SOURCED MORE INFO!!!! from my friend who works at an nz audio archive and they HAVE THE TAPE THERE? COVER:
Final info ive put together after i have just looked over the insert notes (inside the other tape) sent to me by my friend:
This band had Steven Wells and Andrew Bain in it - they went on to be in a pretty popular NZ rock band called Fur Patrol from late 90s-2000s, so this is a precursor to that. in the notes they also thank Campbell Kneale, a prolific underground nz musician in bands like Birchville Cat Motel and Black Boned Angel. they also thank "Drinkwater".
alright everyone. after 33k+ notes on an obscure 90s indie song from Aotearoa i gotta admit many want to hear the rest, & as i cant think of a better format to supply this, here's the rest of the tape in this post. please let it stay here where it needs to be, don't spread it like its yours. its not mine either! i now present to you: Clayflower - Still (1993, Aotearoa, Cassette, Shoegaze/Indie Rock)
beautiful and cool obscure music like this is everywhere if you just wanna look for it even for a few minutes. dont let yourself think someone has to come along and show it to you <3
