For years I've heard that those booby mousepads are actually really good for a person with carpal tunnel syndrome but didn't decide to test that knowledge because I don't want to buy a booby mousepad that would make me some sort of sex pervert, I was raised Catholic I'm a good boy not a sex pervert. But earlier this year I bought a Gigan body pillow as a joke only to find out body pillows are actually really comfortable sleep aids, so... so I bought one... I bought a booby mousepad.

...and my wrist feels so much better when I'm using it.

How many other comforts and aids have I forsaken because they're embarrassingly horny? How many discomforts have I endured purely out of a societal shame about expressing anything sexual? This world is fucked man.

one time in my last job a woman came up to the register explaining that when she bought stuff a day prior the clerk forgot to scan a pair of socks worth less than €2 and it was only right for her to bring it back to the store and pay for it proper. unfortunately my manager was directly next to me at the time and took over the register to handle this serious issue. the receipt she had brought with her said which register performed the previous transaction that forgot the socks and the manager could find out who was running that till on that day. poor dude had a manager yell at him for a half hour about how much of an incompetent fuck up he was, he left the job immediately after but i couldnt tell you if he quit or was fired

i think about this moment a lot. the customer seemed like a sweet woman with only good intentions and when she paid for the socks she had a look on her face that said "i feel good because i did the right thing". and a guy lost his job because of a pair of socks. if shit like this ever happens to you and a clerk forgets to scan an item just think of it as a small blessing or that you had good luck or something. keep it.

since my last post about it did not clarify, Fran Drescher being anti vaccine mandate IS antivaxx. it doesn't matter that she, as an individual, got the COVID vaccine. claiming to be against the mandate, not the vaccine itself is a common tactic used by antivaxxers. Many antivaxxers also do still get vaccinated while advocating antivaxx sentiment. If someone, Fran Drescher or otherwise, was truly pro-vaccine, they would not have a problem with them being mandated, period. It's the same kind of faux mental gymnastics bigots use when they say shit like, "I don't have a problem with gay people. I just don't think the law should allow them to be married." Fran Drescher is antivaxx and she's also a massive financial supporter of the Israeli Defence Force, having donated millions in fundraising over the years to the IDF to support their occupation of Palestinian lands. Both those things are indefenseable to me and many others, but they also don't cancel out what she has done and continues to do for labour rights in the film industry. "Fran Drescher is antivaxx and pro-Israel" and "Fran Drescher is a vital leader in current labour rights movements in Hollywood," are not mutually exclusive statements. It just means there's more work to do, more people to listen to, and no one person should ever be touted as a symbol of resistance for all because human rights advocacy is never going to be achieved through reliance on individuals or exceptionalism.

those of you shouting down muslims and disabled people trying to object to fran drescher being valorised saying 'that's not important right now we can come back to it later' we see you. we remember you. we will never forget what your allyship is worth ''support the strike without valorizing this woman'' ''OMG NOW IS NOT THE TIME–'' go sit on a cactus fran drescher wga strike sag strike free palestine anti vaxxers racism ableism white liberals western leftists colonization

I do genuinely believe people are trying to support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA in their strikes. I really do. But I also think it's real fucking frustrating that despite SAG-AFTRA having small and explicit asks for non-members, people keep trying to do things that they have not asked for.

So. I have compiled some links for you so you can READ THEM and understand what is and is not an actual obligation as a fan.

This FAQ for members re: personal appearances and conventions may be helpful in clarifying what is and is not allowed for you as a fan. Please understand that what is allowed is not necessarily the same as what you would do personally. For example, a fan cosplaying as a character from a struck work is allowed. Do not give people shit for this.

If you want to express support as a fan, this is what the unions are asking for, per their websites:

Obviously this is subject to change, but the unions will give you plenty of notice when it does. Follow their socials and/or subscribe to their newsletters so you can keep up. Do not rely on word of mouth from Tumblr or other social media unless it has a citation from a reputable source.

We all want these strikes to succeed. You help make that more possible by understanding what is required vs what you think other people should do.

I think one of the most profound forms of love is "I'll try that, for you. I may not like it, but I'll try it."

It's a confused middle-aged man in a pottery class, whose daughter is helping him with his clay's plasticity. It's a kid scrunching up their brow while listening to their mom's favorite music, trying to figure out why she likes it. It's a girlfriend who says "Yes, I'll go with you" and her girlfriend cheering and buying a second ticket for a con. It's a friend half dragging another friend through an aquarium, the one being dragged laughing and calling out "Wait, wait, I know we're here for the exhibit, but I haven't been here! Slow down!"

It's being willing to spend some of your time trying something new because it makes someone you love happy.
