Sometimes Being On Tumblr Is Like Putting The Same Song On Loop Until You Hate It. The Same Jokes Circulate

I was procrastinating getting out of bed until I realized I needed to take a shit.

I wouldn’t get up to get dressed.

I wouldn’t get up to see people

i wouldn’t get up to eat

but I got up cause I needed to take a shit.

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what

mom let me sit on the roof hell yeahhh!!

the other day I spoke to the wind. In it’s cold, raspy voice it spoke back. it made sound with the leaves on a tree and it answered my questions with the force of its flow. I said

“if you understand me, push the air harder against me so that I can feel your presence.”

the wind blew against my face and playfully twirled through my hair.

I waited for the breeze to slow and walked to a ledge, crouching on it and leaning forward. I asked the wind

”Would you slow me if I fell? Are you a friend, or not?”

the wind urgently pushed me back from the ledge, scattering twigs across the ground with its force. It wouldn’t stop pushing against me until I stood up and walked away from the ledge. Still curious, I stated

”If you are a real as you say you are, and if you are watching me, then I’m glad to be talking with you. Are you glad to be talking with me?”

the wind ran its gentle fingers through my hair and spoke in quiet rustles of the leaves. We spoke until the sun was setting and the air was freezing.

The wind nudged me towards my house, telling me to go home and be warm. I listened, and as I reached the door, I turned to wave a goodbye to the cold breeze around me. Today, as I sit inside of my quiet house, I can hear the wind whispering to come out and play.

I can and will drink more maple syrup than you.

Apparently a lot of neurodivergent people don’t like holding eye contact, but I’m on the opposite side of that.

Because of my neurodivergency I can’t figure out how long is too long to hold eye contact and often unintentionally creep people out.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Question for the internet

I don’t wanna vape drugs, can I just vape dry ice fumes?

like I know it’s carbon dioxide so I have to pause to breath oxygen, but are there any other dangers I should be aware of?

So, this hasn't crossed my dash yet. (Not blaming anyone, there is soooo much going on in the world and I'd also missed it in the noise).

There is currently a strike at Frito-Lay. in Topeka. These workers are striking because:

They were being forced to work 84 hour weeks. The company's best offer so far is a 60 hour cap. This is shit we fought for a century ago, people.

Their generous offer also includes a whole 4 percent wage increase...over the next 2 years. I'm not sure what COL is in Topeka, but... Well, it's better than the entire 77 cents they've apparently gotten in the last decade.

There's also a report that a worker literally collapsed and dropped dead on the line and the foreman's response was to make them move the body out of the way and put in a replacement. (However, this is unconfirmed and, of course, the company denies it).

There have been multiple OSHA violations at this plant over the last few years, including a forklift accident that's under investigation.

They've now been striking since July 5 but, of course, it only hit the national media yesterday.

So, why am I signal boosting this?

Because Frito-Lay is refusing to budge. They are attempting to make the excuse that union leadership agreed to the 60 hour work week and crappy pay cut...when union leadership only agreed to put it to a vote.

And this means that we need to put the thumbscrews on them. Remember, this is about 19th century style working conditions.

So, I'm calling on my followers to boycott Frito Lay's until the strike is involved.

Frito-Lay owns:

Lay's

Doritos (Sorry. I really am. I KNOW there's no good alternative to Doritos, although Zapp's are good if you can find them).

Fritos

Tostitos

Cheetos

Ruffles

Sun Chips

Baken-ets

Chester's

Cracker Jack

Islen plantain chips

Funyuns

Grandma's (the cookies)

Matador Meat Snacks

Maui style potato chips

Miss Vickie's

Munchies

Munchos

Rolled Gold

Sabritones

Santitas

Simply

Smartfood

Stacys

The Walking Taco

NatuChips

PopCorners (this one wasn't on their website, but was bought by Pepsi's in 2019 with the intent of adding it. So best avoided just in case). Yes, this really is more than half of the snack aisle. Suggested alternatives:

Kettle Brand Chips

Zapp's (If you can find them. My supermarket had them once and not since, so I'm guessing the culinary cowards in this neighborhood were afraid of "Voodoo" flavored chips).

Pringles

On the Border for salsa.

Wise Cheez Doodles

Bugles

Utz

Store own brand alternatives, if your store has ones that are any good.

Cheez-its

Check before you buy and let's tell these people they don't get to treat workers like that.
