Teachers when a child shows a single ounce of individuality or creativity:

As a teacher: the big sharpener should have just made her laugh. It’s funny.

But the 70 sharpeners thing is where it gets a bit dicey because yes it was obviously the child joking and having a sharpener collection but on the other you have to think: Why does this child have so many blades on school property?? Obviously you can know the child won’t do anything awful but you don’t know what some other person might do if they get it or if administration that DONT know your child finds it

what nefarious thing is a child going to do with 70 intact sharpeners already at school? sneak into the bathroom where they hid a 2x4 and a tool box to build a macuahuitl?

hold on i need to google something

yeah this is funny

GIRL

thinkin about last summer when I flew to meet my friend in the city & was in my low-stim, no-fuss summer airport biker shorts+t-shirt combo, and when I got there I realized she upgraded me to first class to surprise me! noticed I was dressed down compared to the other passengers around me, but I thought, who cares? It's a flight. But when I landed, I was greeted by another surprise, a personal driver. like in a fancy car and a suit. and I was like ha, well now I'm a lil' self conscious about my outfit but who cares?

so the driver takes me to our hotel, and as soon as we pull up I know I'm cooked. A bellhop comes to greet me (with a little hat to match his uniform and everything) and he takes my luggage and leads me into the hotel, where an Actual, live string quaret is playing in the dining room as we pass by on our way to the lobby. there are sculptures on display, on loan from an art museum. And I get to the room and I look at my friend, who is wearing a beautiful dress and beaming. And I say, "perhaps....a short text about the dresscode....."

Because this is the very outfit I was wearing while the bellhop escorted me past the live cello music.

She said, "I wanted it to be a surprise."

And to be fair, I think that the fact I was wearing socks with crocs in a hotel with a live string quartet demonstrated that I was, indeed, surprised.

Anyway now whenever my friends plan outings & we want to know if it's fancy, we say, "is this a Fishin' is Life situation?"

later, I decided to take a nap while my friends went out for drinks. I forgot to put the "do not disturb" tab on the door, and the hotel staff thought we were all out. I woke up in the dark to a man in my room, and, half asleep, I yelled, "WHO ARE YOU!" He was just as startled by me as I was by him, so all he did was squeak, "strawberries?!" Which of course meant nothing to me and I said, "No!" and he said, "Sorry" and scrambled out of the room. About as soon as he closed the door behind him, my brain finished coming back online. I turned on the lights, and saw he had delivered champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries.

So I put on my crocs and I went to the desk and asked for him so I could personally apologize for yelling at him in confused terror. Wearing my Fishin is Life Shirt, obviously. He thought it was very funny, which was good, or else I couldn't have ever gone back to that entire city if I'm honest.

You know that post that was going around like a year ago. That said something like 'hey you don't need to wear any makeup' and people kept commenting shit like 'yeah just a little eyeliner is enough'. This is how this post feels to me

Oh my god

hot take apparently but i think it's good for white people to relate to poc's art. i think it's good for straight people to relate to queer art. stop acting like we're different species who could never possibly understand each other what the fuck is wrong with you

Does tumblr know about the animation union yaoi yet

The rest of tumblr might but I do not so please fill me in

Ok so I'm not fully informed on it but here's the basic outline from what I've gathered:

The Animation Guild has been in negotiations with the AMPT (studios) to get better protections against AI, better pay, fewer layoffs, and generally more respect as an industry. To raise awareness, Animation Workers Ignited (not officially affiliated with TAG but a community-run account made to build support and organize) have been releasing animated PSAs starring Adam Conover (Adam Ruins Everything) as a fast-talking, suited-up organizer and Alex Hirsch (Gravity Falls) as a green-shirted, scared audience stand-in.

Sometime last night, Alex Hirsch and the director of the shorts shared exchange in the comments of their most recent PSA on twitter:

Which led to:

And finally, the art that kicked this whole thing off:

So, because this is the animation industry, everyone immediately jumped onto the new ship and started drawing fanart for it, ranging from silly doodles to full art pieces

AWI themselves are fully supportive of this and see it as a great way to spread awareness and get people to engage with the union. Even the Canadian Animation Guild posted about it. We are genuinely helping their cause by posting yaoi art. This is a good thing. Great, even.

TL,DR: People are showing support for and actually helping negotiating animators by posting yaoi art of characters from their PSAs.

y'all gonna love this one. Jesus.

My brain just blue screened.

This... This ain't getting you anything.

I am a glorified office administrator who understands server hardware why am I the only person in this company who gets what social engineering is?

Total stranger on the phone who we’ve never spoken to before: I have power of attorney over the CEO of this corporation and we are a customer of yours. Please change the administrator password on the server to XXXXX

My boss, putting on white grease paint and a red wig: Oh, of course! Let’s do it quickly so that you’ll want to keep working with us since you’re going to be making business decisions!

Me: I would sell you to satan for one corn chip and I’m allergic to corn but before you do this maybe you should call someone who is actually on our contact list for our customer and see if they’ve ever heard of this stranger.

My boss, looking through a selection of shoes that honk when you walk: Oh, but she said that it was very important that none of the employees know what was happening because they’re making staffing changes.

Me: As your lawyer I recommend that you just call a single one of our contacts and see if they’ve ever heard of her name.

My boss, shoving all of our technicians into a VW beetle: You’re not my lawyer.

Me: HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW? I COULD BE! YOU SHOULD MAYBE CHECK ON THAT.

TIL everyone’s employee ID at my company is the last five of their SSN.

Boss: On the bright side, it’s only the last five

Me: YOU CAN COMMIT FRAUD WITH FOUR

Security firms that are hired to check the security of banks will often use the following tactic: They will walk up to the teller in a suit with their ID badge and a clipboard and go:

“Hello I am [name] from [security firm] we’ve been hired to verify the security of the facility I need to see your computers.”

“Erm…I’ll have to verify that with my managers.”

“Congratulations, you have just passed the security verification.” [Scribbles on clipboard] “But in all seriousness I do need to verify your security so I need to see your computers.”

“Oh okay.” AND LETS THEM IN.

“Social engineering” is a way too fancy word for what it is. I know a guy (not personally) who broke several people out of prison by essentially writing “Greetings, please release this person, signed, whoever the judge is” on a piece of paper and faxing it there. Because no one would have a fax machine in their own house I guess.

not to derail, but holy shit that praxis

The duality of man is thinking “children cannot help themselves and we all need to be patient with them as they explore what it means to be human in public” and also “damn, I wish this crying baby was not on the plane rn :/“

Just as courage is not the absence of fear but doing the brave thing in spite of it, patience is not the absence of irritation but doing the kind thing in spite of it.
