The bros at my work have always been dicks to me, calling me stupid and whatever, and recently they've been whispering and grinning at each other when I'm around.
I just found a note saying "Grunt, white boy" in my locker, what does it mean?
Aside from the note, you notice the smell in the locker. But is anything different? The astrophotographs are on the door, your shirts are neatly stacked in case you need a fresh one, no, everything else is the same as it always is. "Grunt, white boy. A bit silly to put something like that in the locker of an Indian-born IT administrator. You make a note in your remarkable to install a security system for your locker.
Some joker also changed your favorites list in the browser. What are you interested in protein powder stores? Or porn sites. If they are porn sites. At least they show pretty naked pretty muscular fellows. Fuck, why does your dick jump at that? Okay, these fellows are really hot! You don't realize how long you've been surfing the NSFW pages until a colleague calls you and asks if you'd like a coffee for breakfast. Shit, you've been looking at bodybuilders for over an hour. And on the side, you bought over $200.00 worth of supplements.
Your colleague says at breakfast that the radical buzzcut suits you. A bit unusual, but suits you. Emphasizes your bull neck. You shovel in the liter of low-fat curd cheese with protein powder that was in your compartment in the refrigerator and nod. Tell your pal something about your training and nutrition plan. He looks at you a bit uncomprehendingly and asks if you want to watch the transit of Venus together with your telescope tonight. You laugh and say that you don't stalk bitches. But with the hot Latino stud from across the street, you're in.
Back at your desk, you're a little unfocused. Taking care of your to-do list is really hard for you. You haven't really accomplished anything yet. But you take your lunch break a little earlier than usual. You get your gym bag out of your locker and take the subway to the gym. Lifting iron will bring you back to the right thoughts.
Yes, you've overstayed your one-hour lunch break a bit. Your boss calls you on your cell phone and tells you to get your ass to the company, there are problems at the wastewater treatment plant. Of course. Always at the squats. You don't bother to shower and change. Wastewater treatment plant doesn't sound like it's a white collar job. So get in your pick-up truck, head to the company, get to your locker and get into your janitorial overalls. And then see where the problem is. Fuck, you literally have to go knee-deep into the shit. So once again the rubber fishing pants over your clothes. The long gloves are helpful, you don't need a gas mask anymore. The other colleagues are wimps, but you grew up on a farm in the Midwest, you are used to slurry and pigsties. And with a well-aimed grip in the shit, you've also solved the problem.
Your cell phone rings again, you take off your right glove and answer it. One of the trucks won't start. You are really the handyman around here. To avoid making a big mess, you walk around the outside of the building. Nevertheless, the people you pass hold their noses. Idiots! Yes, you stink of sweat and feces. But someone has to do the dirty work. The nice thing is that everyone still stares at you. It's clear, in your work clothes your big muscles come out even better. The next tie-wearer who stares at you, you grunt like a pig. Come on, it's true! You're not an animal in the zoo here!
Tumblr media
Nevertheless, the colleagues in the car shed refuse to repair the truck with you. First you have to wash yourself. If they want to, let them get a hose. That's how you did it on the farm, too. You have no problem with that…

Do you know of historical shows/movies with incest in them? I know it's very specific but something about it just hits different lol I've watched The Borgias, Borgia, Los Borgia, El Cid, Game of Thrones, Crimson Peak, Rome and Spartacus. Soo I don't know if there's anything left out there for me lol 🤣 I also know there's incest in War & Peace and Tut, but I haven't gotten around to watching them yet. So if you've seen them, are they worth it?
Thank you for your time!
It does seem like you have seen the big ones.
War & Peace is not worth watching for the incest, I would say, but in my opinion Tut is, though go in prepared for more of a Crimson Peak-style relationship than a Borgias-type one.
One that I do not see on your list is Vikings. Season 4 had a storyline between a brother and sister at the French Court, I think it was. Based on personal experience, I can say that you can just watch the court scenes and it's fairly self-contained and worth your time.
Other period shows with canon bro/sis incest include Carnivale (1930s), and Indian Summers (1930s).
You also might want to look into Arthurian Legend, though Mists of Avalon and BBC Merlin are really the other shippable Arthur/Morgana's out there that are readily available, though there is canon incest in other versions like the Merlin 1998 mini-series, Excalibur, the TV show Camelot, and so forth.
If you check out my bro/sis masterlist here, a number of the movies on the list are not set in the present day, so many that I'm afraid I don't have time to list them. But my top recs would be Curse of the Golden Flower, Caligula, Marguerite and Julien (you must see this one if you haven't already), My Sister, My Love (Syskonbadd 1782), Tis Pity She's a Whore, and something I'm inevitably forgetting.
Everyone, please feel free to chime in with recs.

Will Smith plays Venus and Serena's 'lion' in Oscar-tipped 'King Richard'
LOS ANGELES
"King Richard" plots the improbable rise of Serena and Venus Williams, from training on crumbling, gang-riddled Compton tennis courts to becoming all-time sporting greats.
The movie could soon cap another unlikely journey, with former "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star Will Smith heavily tipped to win his first Oscar for best actor, as their larger-than-life father, coach and manager.
Smith "fell in love with Richard Williams" two decades ago, after watching him leap to 14-year-old daughter Venus's defense in an interview with an overly insistent journalist.
"The look of Venus's face... the image burned in my heart," he told an online press conference. "Because that's how I wanted my daughter to look when I showed up."
"I knew I wanted to show a father protecting a daughter like that to the world," said Smith, who signed on to star and produce in the Warner Bros film.
The film, which had its Los Angeles premiere Sunday during AFI Fest, focusses on how the Williams' unusual and tight-knit family in an impoverished and mainly Black neighborhood of the same city shaped their future success.
Richard Williams, a self-taught coach, famously wrote a 78-page plan to make Venus and Serena the top players in the world before they were even born, having learnt about the lucrative prize money on offer.
Venus -- whose seven Grand Slam titles would later be eclipsed by Serena's 23 -- occupies more of the screen time, having paved the way for her younger sister with early wins at junior tournaments.
"I love that Venus opened doors, and her sister just ran through," Saniyya Sidney, who plays Venus, told AFP.
"She's so humble, she doesn't even look at the status, or who's bigger... being given this opportunity to show the world exactly what Venus did, is so, so important."
Growing up seeing "girls that look like me are in a sport that is predominantly a white sport... means so much to me," said Sidney.
The film follows Richard's efforts to find his daughters a professional coach at snooty Californian tennis clubs, and how he was initially met with rejection, ridicule and racism.
The Williams family would later boycott the prestigious Indian Wells tennis tournament in California for 14 years, after booing that Richard slammed as racist, and which Serena later likened to a "genteel lynch mob."
Serena, whose fiery temper has left her at loggerheads with officials on occasions, was banned from wearing a "Black Panther"-inspired black catsuit at the French Open in 2018.
"Every time they come on the court, they are these walking revolutionaries," Aunjanue Ellis, who plays their mother and fellow coach Oracene, told AFP.
"The tennis industry is still to this day trying to police how creative they are, trying to police their genius, and they haven't been able to do that."
For Smith -- a father of three -- watching Richard Williams protect his daughters all those years ago helped to shape his performance.
"It was like [Venus] had a lion. And she was so confident and so comfortable that her lion wasn't going to let anything happen to her," he recalled.
While Venus and Serena, plus two of their half-sisters, are involved with the film, Richard did not participate, and the film's largely positive portrayal also hints at marital infidelity.
Filmmakers initially planned to put Smith in full prosthetics to closely resemble Williams, but eventually relied on the two-time Oscar nominee's acting to transform audience perceptions.
"He would just slide in to Richard Williams, which has all of that exuberance of Will Smith, but this whole other side of his character -- it was startling to see," said co-star Tony Goldwyn.
Smith is the current bookmakers' favorite to win best actor at February's Oscars, having missed out for his portrayal of boxer Muhammad Ali in "Ali," and in "The Pursuit of Happyness."
"King Richard" hits theaters next Friday.
