fog haters are weak. you are walking in a cloud and it’s making everything look like a moody detective film! the veil is thin and there could be a faerie 20 metres directly ahead of you! appreciate it!!
Once upon a time when I was driving along Route 81 through the narrow hills of Pennsylvania, between college and home, in my old 1970 Monte Carlo, a fog descended which was so dense that I could barely see ten feet in front of my car. I was broke, and there weren’t many places to pull off the road anyway, so all I could do was press on, barely above an idle, the aged yellow headlights completely ineffectual, while my car growled and shook like the nervous beast it was.
@snow124-art is a beautiful person! (snow124-art.tumblr.com) Who brought to life this unspeakably perfect piece that is a rendering of a scene of Bruce and Dick from chapter 43 of the wonderful and brilliant writer @victoriousscarf - whose fic Find the Sun in the Corners of Shadows (archiveofourown.org/works/4404539) broke my heart and made me cry in the best of ways.
every major structural social problem right now is basically “we don’t have enough skilled workers on the ground” and the reason is always “well we’ve been intentionally underpaying and understaffng them for decades to increase corporate profits” and somehow the news always just mentions the “shortage” without digging into the cause
air travel is a mess? shortage of air traffic controllers - for some mysterious reason
logistics a mess? shortage of truck drivers - for some mysterious reason
public transit can’t meet demand? shortage of bus drivers - for some mysterious reason
We even mysteriously have shortages of doctors, nurses, teachers… FOR SOME MYSTERIOUS REASON
FUCKING PAY PEOPLE AND HIRE ENOUGH STAFF
“People don’t want to work anymore” for some mysterious reason.
Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”
Se also “he DID say that and he was LYING, and somehow you didn’t notice.”
You need to start moisturizing before it’s too late. I’m not talking about wrinkles or any of that nonsense. Winter is fucking coming you need to grease up or you are going to dry out like a raisin. It’s too late for me but you can still save yourself. Please don’t end up like me
Guys it’s actually so dire please for the love of God start moisturizing right fucking now. I just put on lotion and my skin sucked it up before I could even rub it in we are in fucking crisis mode
well you know what they say. when you’ve invested billions of dollars into hammers every problem looks like a nail and you keep handing these hammers to your users and they go “i don’t really think i needed this hammer” and “but i don’t have any nails that need hammering in right now” and “this is not a nail this is a glass vase that will break if i hit it with a hammer” and “didn’t you used to have, like, other tools avaliable that might be better suited to this job” and you tell them to suck it up because you’ve replaced all your screwdrivers and wrenches and box cutters and crates and ladders and paint with hammers because your shareholders need to see an increase in value from your hammer investments
