Side note i discovered a small customer service hack
sometimes when I gotta scan a book a small child picked out, toddlers who think I'm just taking it from them might get stressed out or start to cry cuz they don't understand what's happening
But I figured out--since children love sound effects--if I say something like "it's okay, it's just gonna go "Beep!" Then I'll hand it right back to you! Ready?" And then I scan it. And it seems to go over better. They're intrigued by the noise
Yesterday this toddler was on the verge of tears when his mom had him hand me his book but then I did this maneuver and he broke into a huuuge grin when the scanner beeped. I'm literally some kind of sorcerer
Tumblr the only dot com where you can say the stupidest thing imaginable for a laugh and all the tags are like "#OP you have a gas leak #can I suck it out your thing?"
Since the r-slur is making a comeback (you know, the word that starts with R, has six letters, and ends in D), I'm gonna make a little PSA:
Yes, it's an ableist slur.
Terms like "asshat," "head-up-ass," "up their own ass," and "high on their own farts" exist. There's also words like crap, dogshit, half-assed, assclown, and chucklefuck. And on the less vulgar side, there are terms like ridiculous, nonsense, train wreck, pointless, insipid, self-absorbed, pretentious, annoying, boring, contemptible, vile, and disgusting.
Substituting words like restarted, poptarted, brain damaged, smoothbrain, etc. is still ableist, because either 1. you obviously still mean the r-word, or 2. you're still using disability as an insult.
personally if i accidentally came out via gay joke at the fan convention i would not keep doing gay jokes at the fan convention. but misha foot in mouths georg who lives at the convention and makes over 10000 gay jokes a day....
in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years
