Cardan: *brings his ex back to live on the land and then exiles Jude who he married the night before & who just got back from enduring over a month of torture*

Cardan: *does not have any doubts that Jude could possibly misinterpret this situation*

#out of context just calls out to me I’m sorry #also poor Jude saved his life the day before too #Cardan and Jude not realizing how insecure the other feels about themselves in their relationship is just #I understand Cardan’s perspective I just love giving him shit for this #like you created the biggest misunderstanding that has ever been misunderstood #the way we could have avoided that #fuck you too Lady Asha you miserable waste of space #like ew keep out of ur sons love life I cannot believe u did that #Jude is the only reason that bitch was ever out in about in the first place and Asha did the opposite of paying her back #UGH like Cardan ripped out his heart and put it in those letters #and you just destroyed them?? #alarming #excruciating #distressing #cardan greenbriar #the wicked king #jude duarte

I’m not the first or the last person to say this but I grew up in the restaurant industry (third generation restauranteur) and everything that happens in The Bear is real life. Every restaurant you eat at? That’s what’s behind the kitchen door. There’s a crazy culture of abuse (both mental and emotional) as well as rampant substance addiction that’s considered “normal”. And I’m very serious when I say TV personalities like Gordon Ramsey truly make things worse by perpetuating the idea that yelling and screaming at both coworkers and subordinates is how a restaurant “should work”. And that attitude has genuine, real world consequences. So many good chefs- and good people- have taken their own lives because it’s so taboo to ask for help, or even just that maybe being yelled at all day every day might not be good for people’s mental well being.

The kitchen is a wonderful place. People from all walks of life come together in order to make people smile, to make memories, to make food that tastes the way food SHOULD taste!! But it’s also the same place where human beings are treated like absolute garbage. It’s where people plate hundreds of wonderful meals a night, but then eat their own dinner hunched over a trash can. It’s where people escape to a cold, dark, damp walk-in freezer to cry, because that’s the only break they get from being on their feet for hours at a time. It’s the place where chefs sometimes walk out after a hard night and choose not to wake up the next day.

The restaurant industry is changing. Owners and managers say that it’s because “nobody wants to work anymore”, but the truth is that people refuse to let themselves be treated as disposable anymore.

I dunno. All this is to say- remember the human beings behind every dish you eat. The chefs who put so much of their lives into food and the emotions attached to it. Whenever possible, eat at restaurants that have designated kickback fees to the kitchen staff. And if you work in a kitchen… you’re loved. You’re valuable. Please never be afraid to reach out if you need it.

Read more on restaurant service fees here if you’re curious what they are and how they work:

Hey, tumblr witchy ppl and fellow Cool Rock Enjoyers. I got a PSA for y’all.

Do not trust any place selling raw quartz for a two - and esp not a THREE - digit number.

Here’s why:

Bit of background, I’m a mineral and crystal fan who likes having Shiny Rocks in my crow hoard. I am also a bit cheap. I don’t get something I like if I feel the price is ridiculous, unless under very specific circumstances.

Now, most people know what quartz is. It’s extremely common compared to other crystals and relatively easy to obtain, but doing so is difficult enough that most people will just buy it from someone else. But it’s really easy to find quartz if you know where to look.

Because of that, I have a rule that any shop selling a piece of quartz smaller than my palm for more than $3-5 is not worth my time or cash. Please, do not buy a tiny bit of raw quartz for $10 from a fancy crystal shop, it’s not worth it. And if they’re charging that for quartz, everything else is probably overpriced too.

(Note that this is specifically about raw quartz - if it’s been cut or sculpted into a certain shape, I’m more willing to pay extra for the craftsmanship. That’s different.)

And for fluffs sake don’t spend a thousand dollars on Etsy quartz my god. I don’t care how big it is or what special markings it has it is not worth nearly that much.

Quick guide that I personally follow, set your own limits as you wish:

Can be carried by a few fingers: $1-3

Fits in palm: $3-7 depending on size

One-hand grip: $7-15 depending on size/shape

Two-hand grip or larger: $15+

Again, this is specific to raw quartz, quartz that was picked up off the ground and put up for sale, not anything that’s been cut or sculpted. If it’s more than $30 it better be fluffing massive. No one should fork over $15-20 for quartz that fits in your hand, that’s just not right.

If you want an alternative that’s less likely to overcharge you, the best thing I can think of rn is a natural history museum or something similar. Full disclosure, I’ve only been to a couple, but they usually have a section for small crystals and minerals that are a few bucks each. Affordable, quality, and supporting a valuable public service - I’ll take that over an overpriced shop any day.

#it speaks #crystals #witchblr #minerals #decided to check out a crystal shop in a mall and they wanted me to pay $15 for THAT?!? that little thing? no #don’t waste your money kids it’s not worth it #I’m not a Crystal Person but I’m adjacent enough to those spaces to feel offended for them about this #seriously do not pay that much for a small piece of quartz no matter what #you deserve better than that

Hii, I saw your post about that ask who said they can’t afford groceries and honestly thank you for responding to it the way you did. I used to get sooooo much hate.

And honestly as a Palestinian it just keeps getting worse. First I lose my family, then I have people online telling me we deserve when we’ve done nothing wrong, then I have people telling me to kill myself. It does get exhausting tbh but I will never stop talking about Palestine. Anyways I just wanted to say thank you for what you’re doing.

listen I want you to know that if I could bash this person’s head into fine powder for you I would

#I’m really sorry this waste of space exists. Please block and move on #palestine

you haven't released new chapters for the Baji x tutor reader story in a while, if that doesn't sound rude then when are you planning on writing a story?

Not rude at all..!:)

Honestly, I’d love to write more for Baji x Tutor!Reader! However, the only WIPs I have in drafts take place after Fragility/Aftermath… and I’ve honestly been scared to continue… I’m not sure if i should finish the WIPs, or think up a confession piece first? Or what scenarios people would like to read for first… I don’t get asks like that, so I’m not sure what people would like to read outside of what I think up.

I guess I’m at a loss of imagination right now?

Simple answer, I would love to write, but I am severely depressed and worried about posting …

Feel free to reply in this post/submit an ask with what you’d like to see from the Baji x Tutor!Reader series ? Even if I don’t accept it, at least this way I have an idea where I should direct my focuses…

it’s amazing how men can just ruin everything

#literally just by existing #like at what point do i say that’s enough #like how many times do you have to repeat that what’s happening is nothing do with them and yet they’re still like #but what did i do #lol nothing i’m going through something i don’t have to share every detail with you #i don’t understand it #how do they make everything about themselves #please i just want one good one #please #one that will just go okay ur upset and i did nothing and you want your space cool #not try and start a fucking argument and follow you around like a lost puppy #fuck offfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff #like i’ve lost all motivation now #he’s just taken it #and just as i was about to start and open up my laptop #he wants to come to bed #after spending the few hours i had downstairs with my laptop trying to cause an argument and distracting me #and if i go okay i’m gonna go back down then so i can do want i wanna do #it’ll be omg why do u never wanna spend time with me #WE LIVE TOGETHER #WE ARE TOGETHER 24/7 #all the timeeeeeee #but it’s fine when he wants to waste all his days on fucking warcraft #fuck offffff

just lost several wars against canned goods

#i got the bad can opener in the roommate split last year i guess #bc i had to use a fucking knife today . that’s how much of a waste of space and money this can opener was #also i sliced my finger on the can #but it’s FINE i’m going to have CHILI and CORNBREAD and i will be HAPPY

[miss-fortune-thinks]

existing as a queer person who isn’t exceptionally educated on politics is so funny because i’m as educated as i need to be to live sustainably but it’s not enough to justify my existence to some people. obviously i strive to be informed on things that are important but it is simply not feasible for my mental health to keep up with all of the things that these people deem me required to be an expert on.

#queer community #queer #it’s so fucked #i shouldn’t have to be some queer #history and information fucking archivist #just for you to decide that i’m not a waste of space

Mmm. I hate being sick.

#rambles from the floor #delete later #it happens so much and it drives me crazy #I feel like I’m sick every other week sometimes #I always feel all useless lying around #and it’s like I COULD be doing stuff I’m CAPABLE of doing stuff #but I don’t feel the best when I do but lying around is bad too #and so I’ve basically been sitting around all morning feeling like a waste of space #...and my stomach hurts

Self portrait I was going to title “You’re A Mess” until my friend gave it a new meaning

#please tell me I’m not the only person who sees inherent poeticism in the way that I was drawing a self portrait to illustrate how I see #myself as a pointless directionless waste of space and all he saw was me and the fact that he loved me. Is anyone else dramatic #do u want to be dramatic with me #🍂 #🍱

[reedreadsbooks]

this is fully me being a bitch but i kinda hate the wine cellar tbr metaphor. or at least i hate the way people use it as a justification for buying copious amounts of books that they’re never gonna read. like the fact that you made a comparison doesn’t make it not consumerism. spending hundreds of dollars of things you don’t need or even particularly want that much is still bad.

#like i get the idea that book collecting is a separate hobby from reading #but it’s okay if your collection takes years to build #you don’t wanna have to constantly do massive unhauls #because you wasted space on mediocre books that you could’ve eread. or got at the library #idk i think i’m a little over tired rn so. ranting #my thoughts #bookish #books #reading #booktok #booklr #bookblr

Ahhh, tumblr.

It was the same last time I was here. Every day I would rb other people’s work, but when I post my own, no one would ever reblog mine.

I know, it’s probably not your thing. It might be from another fandom. But have you thought for one moment the amount of joy that having a mutual support you in whatever you’re doing brings?

I wish I had that. I wish someone would think, ‘fuck yeah, cosmic. You go girl. Here have a reblog, you’re writing is awesome. Keep going. You’re wanted here.’

*sigh*

#on tumblr #I fight the depression demon every single day #I sit on this app trying to be the change I’d like to see #trying to bring light and love wherever I go #it just ends up making me so miserable #personal #shut up cosmic #I’m such a waste of space I should delete myself

I think the reason trans girl mob goes off so hard is because… the show is inherently about a kid who’s an outcast learning to be his best most happy self. Like people always say be yourself yeah but that usually doesn’t actually mean anything.

Mob psychos thesis statement is you are NOT special, and that is beautiful because it means you can be anything. Just because you’re a good artist and a shit singer doesn’t mean you should do art instead of singing, you should do what makes you happy and strive to be as good at it as you can, because mediocre is an achievement when you aren’t special, it’s about self improvement, not being the best.

And then you get a kid, who’s constantly terrified of his own emotions and how they effect others and is seen as naive, who doesn’t fit the stereotypical masculine world well (weak as hell, cares a lot about emotions, pacifist) and doesn’t fit the stereotypical feminine world well either (reserved usually, in the body improvement club, horrible fashion, not able to read a room) and you say part of being the best, happiest possible version of yourself is realizing your gender, and it’s not a sad thing, and it’s not about anyone else, it’s about being the best you possible.

I don’t think mob in show is trans or would be any better or worse at being a girl than he is at being a boy, because it isn’t about that. It’s about the idea that when people do the things that are important to them without regard for what other people might think and only focus on being who they want to be (not who they think they should be, not on who they are, who they WANT to be, who would be both a good person and make them happy) that that is the best, happiest, most successful version of them. And I think that’s beautiful.

#trans girl mob #trans mob #Trans Sheigo Kageyama #mob psycho 100 #meta thoughts #trans #just thinking about if everyone’s not special then maybe you can be who you want to be again #and you’re the protagonist of your own life #might be because I saw the episode with the depressed room and the cultural fair again #and how they thought the one guys problem was being unable to grasp his own life #mob and serizawa both having breakdowns about possibly wasting their lives and mob deciding he doesn’t want his age #to be the only thing that changes #and how mob worked really really hard on the costumes and the result was no one said anything good but no one complained #and how he got 70 in the marathon which isn’t a lot but is over TWO HUNDRED places further than before #and body improvement club in general #the beauty in you don’t have to be special and aren’t and that’s fine because everything is still beautiful and impressive in its own way #like yeah I might be living in one room and sharing living space with people I don’t know #instead of my own apartment or house #but I’m still fucking doing it and I’m happy and it’s cheaper than my last place #it’s important to hold onto and chase what matters to you #without clinging to things just because you always have and it feels safe or like you want it bc it used to be important #and to not want soemthing so bad that what you have now doesn’t matter #but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still reach for something better #anyway I’m rambling if you haven’t watched mob psycho go do it it genuinely changed my life for the better
