I just gave myself a weird thought. I hadn’t done this in a while, but sometimes I conceptualize age and time by thinking about when someone was born realitive to both when I was born and today.
So, like, in 32, I was born in 1990 (I turn 33 in a month), so someone who was 32 in 1990 was born in 1958. 1958 feels like so much further away from 1990 than 2023 is from 1990. I don’t know how to explain it.
Like, 1990 is very different from today and a lot has happened in my lifetime, but I feel like 1958 to 1990 so fucking mucg happened and society went through such dramatic, drastic changes in that time. Idk.
if shes your girl then why have i slowly been replacing her parts until there’s nothing left of her original body? is she then still your girl?
They ship of theseus’d my girl
Can’t have shit in Detroit
this actually perfectly demonstrates the transitive property of memes: you can replace a meme piece by piece until it only structurally resembles the original, and it is, in fact, the same meme.
call that the meme of theseus thesis
tumblrites can have a little intertextuality as a treat
my naym is ship and when i’m broke the broken part from me they toke
replace the part had been the plan but in the morn hand door car man
*me shoving transitive properties into my purse* sorry, I have to go
We owe the reddit refugees an apology for making them see posts like this
no we don’t this shit is enrichment in their new enclosure
*slaps roof of Tumblr* This baby can fit so many rare vintages, you just have to go deep enough, there are some great memes in the cellar, come see
Meghan was a working actress for decades. She was a working royal for 18 months. She benefits massively from her show reaching syndication. She stands to lose depending on how Netflix negotiated residuals for Suits with it being out of cable reruns now.
Meghan knows what it’s like to scrimp and scrap for years. She was a working actress doing bit parts her whole 20s!
The fact is that honestly if she didn’t marry Harry, Suits might have been her biggest hit and again residuals would have a huge impact on her. She completely has a leg to stand on joining this fight. Just like she had one speaking up for BLM.
In fact, A-Listers NEED to be using their spotlight to highlight the strike and the working actors who make up the bulk of Hollywood who don’t make millions per movie. It’s important that people like Meryl Streep or Jennifer Lawrence or Matt Damon or Margot Robbie join the strike. A-list talent walking off set and refusing to take part in press and promo is part of what gives the Union huge bargaining power even if those elite actors are not necessarily hurting financially. But also, a lot of A-Listers also have huge stakes in the fight because it’s also about control of their image and their long term financial profit, too.
Meghan is a producer now with a new production company. If she wants top talent on her productions she needs to be ten toes down in solidarity, too.
Meghan was/is SAG. The Union protected her as a working actress, she can use the outrageous spotlight on her to stand in solidarity and to support working actors.
A lot of people don’t seem to know that a bunch of older stars end up in poverty. Fame is fleeting. The glamorous role often doesn’t pay as well as you think.
Tales of Angela Landsbury insisting ageing stars get roles on Murder She Wrote so they could retain their medical insurance.
Every worker needs unions. Bit-part workers need A-lister solidarity. Being an A-lister doesn’t last forever.
Also it’s incredibly weird to be like “the most powerful bargaining chips shouldn’t get involved”. Like what is the logic there. The point of a union is that everyone stands up for each other. Why would you not want influential voices and in-demand service providers being on strike and talking about it. It’s like if a bunch of soldiers show up to defend a town and people are like “no, they moved away from that town for a while so they shouldn’t be on the front lines, they should go away and let the town fend for itself”. I do not understand the ‘too rich and famous to strike’ logic at all.
Sadly, there is a large part of the human race that thinks the goal of life is “amass enough money and power to stop getting fucked and start doing the fucking”, and they can’t wrap their mind around the concept of someone who isn’t getting fucked anymore* caring about the people who are still getting fucked.
*as if Disney didn’t deliberately and flagrantly violate their contract with ScarJo. Or Robin Williams, at the height of his career, for that matter. A-listers have stakes in this fight worth millions, and yes, they earned that money.
Even if success did make someone not care about fairness in their industry I don’t see why that would matter. Boots on ground is boots on ground. We want practical achievement in securing fair pay and treatment, not a sincerity contest.
oh so when a so-called “ARCHAEOLOGIST” goes around robbing graves and taking their contents back to their so-cakkklled “MUSEUMS” it’s all fine and dandy, but WHEN I, YOUR LOCAL, SMALL-TIME NECROMANCER-
Bro if I die you can raid my tomb
thank you so much! you wouldn’t have any issue with being RAISED IN UNHOLY SERVITUDE TO THE WORLD’S SOON-TO-BE TYRANT, now, would you?
Nah bro you’re cool
sweet! now if you’ll sign YOUR IMMORTAL SOUL TO MY NECROMANCEROUS WHIMS, uh, here on the dotted line:
PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like “gatorade is bad actually!” and “don’t drink fruit juice it’ll just dehydrate you!” and neither of these are true!
regarding fruit juice: there’s apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that’s simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won’t do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won’t completely dehydrate you as long as you’re also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can’t go wrong with fruit juice!!!
regarding gatorade: maybe this isn’t an every day drink, but guess what: if it’s 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don’t have AC, or you’re moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you’re sweating buckets: that’s when you drink a gatorade.
gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren’t doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you’re sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that’s intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that’s its intended use case!!!!
no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!
Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It’s fine if you drink things that aren’t water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn’t going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!
honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you’re doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3
At parks job I worked long summer shifts in one of the driest places on earth, and even with plenty of water I felt parched and miserable at the end of each day. Then the boss brought in Gatorade and I stopped feeling parched even though I had been drinking water regularly.
You can buy electrolyte water that isn’t sugary or sweetened, btw. I used to get the life water stuff bc it was cheaper than Gatorade, but Gatorade was still more refreshing
another time, I worked a mexican wedding in intense heat and they had a giant platter of sliced pineapple for anyone to eat. I was like a hummingbird around it, it was amazing in those temperatures, one of my favorite work nights
Can believe people would lie about fruit and Gatorade, but wow are they dumb
