so my english teacher put up new posters in her class and
this is the exact energy that i strive for
…yeah you cute but are you good for my mental health
things tumblr needs to add:
- lockable posts (so you can make a post unrebloggable)
- when deleting a post, it deletes everywhere else.
- proper block button, if twitter can do it, so can you.
- proper reporting guidelines
also searching multiple tags at once would be wonderful
And the ability to track url tags with hyphens yes good
I reblogged this five years ago and literally, none of these things have happened.
Sending asks from a secondary account
date when it was made next to the post/reblog
friends only posts that are limited to only your mutuals!!
The ability to clean up your prompted tags so you aren’t continuously mocked by the same misspelling of a common tag you accidentally used once three years ago.
The ability to switch which blog is your primary.
Also the ability to search your likes
Instead of all this, Staff’s been throwing all these useless celebrity Q&A’s around…
NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE CELEBRITIES @staff PLEASE DO AT LEAST SOME OF THESE THINGS INSTEAD. STOP ACTING CONFUSED LIKE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT. WE ARE TELLING YOU.

My boyfriend has this anxiety about dying…well mainly the two seconds that come right before death…he doesn’t want to feel anything, he wants to die in his sleep.
Maybe I am the morbid one, but I welcome those last two seconds. I want to feel all of the earths pain as mine is released into it, into the void of suffering. I want to see how I am going to die in slow motion, my life to flash before my eyes, and to be able to tell every last person in my memories I love them and I will see them soon, or they will be coming to where I am eventually.
I want to revel in the freedom of death when it is my time.
I want to see it, and I want to feel every last second of anything I can before-
I guess we don’t really know what happens after we die, so just before.
I welcome those last two seconds, unlike my boyfriend, and maybe I am the morbid one
LET 👏 RETAIL 👏 EMPLOYEES 👏 SIT 👏
The only major chain retail store that I know of that allows their cashiers to sit is the Aldi grocery store, a German chain. Their starting pay is also $12 an hour chain-wide.
The interior of the store looks like this so they save money on the annoying shelf restocking. Products remain in their boxes until being removed by customers. No unboxing and putting stuff on shelves, and constantly having to rearrange it. Also, the boxes make inventory a breeze as a sealed box has a defined number of items in it.
Typical American grocery stores have shelves like this
Every item has to be unboxed and neatly stacked on the shelves. If they get messed up by the customers, everything has to be rearranged back to specific rigid order. When you have to verify the inventory, every item has to be removed from the shelves to be counted and put back. Aldi’s also do not have plastic bags. You can buy reusable bags or simply use the empty cardboard boxes that are available.
Last is the carts. Most grocery stores have their carts strewn across the parking lots, rolling around and hitting cars until a store employee is sent out to collect them, after being yelled at by the manager when they were told to do other tasks in the meantime. Aldi’s chains those carts together and you have to put a Quarter in to release it. When you are done, you plug the chain back in and get your Quarter back. If others are lazy, you can collect and return the loose carts and collect the Quarters.
It stops this…
Then the employees have to do this
reblogging this because I love Alidis
With the exception of the shelf stacking, all of this is totally normal in every single supermarket chain in the UK… what the heck America
Same for Germany… why would you make it any more complicated than that. Just. Why not let them sit??
They’re not normal for no reason. The right to sit during work seems normal for most retail workers in these countries because they are it is part of the labor rights that have been won by unions. Sometimes the right to sit was won in an agreement with the store and sometimes it was put down in national laws.
For example, in the UK your employer legally has to provide you with a comfortable seat if you do work that can be done while seating. In the Netherlands you have to be provided a seat if you work at a cash register for more than 4 hours a day or for more than 1 hour uninterrupted.
Unionize.
America’s Unions got killed.
Do you ever think about the fact that the US has created and legitimized a system of institutionalized inequality by funding schools through property taxes? That basically a child’s education is only as good as the value of the property in their neighborhood. Funny how education is so often viewed as an equalizing factor when there is nothing equal about it.
I really don’t care if I’ve already reblogged this
Because this needs to be reblogged….
I remember learning this for the first time as an adult. I had grown up thinking education was the great playing field leveler. So I was so furious to find out how very much it wasn’t anything of the kind.
This is a big part of why you’ll often see rich white people fussing about school district lines, because they hate the idea that their money is going towards the education of poor children.
^^^^^^^ BINGO!!!!!
Is there rly any softer scene than when o'malley sees duchess and falls in love with her at first sight in the aristocats, complimenting her at every turn and climbing into a cherry blossom tree to make the flower petals snow gracefully down on her? How dreamy 🥀💕
This Is Love 😍😍
Not to mention when he found she had kids, he was thrown for a second, then proceeded to not only still help her, but dote on them too.
