And it is sad, lonely, horny hours again.

I know finding a girlfriend/partner is extremely unrealistic but... I honestly just kinda need to get laid

But no, just staring at the ceiling at 3 am. Fun times

I'm not sure how to classify it since I'm not a native speaker and it's something I've learned by imitation. It's a general London/south of the UK accent with bits of more northern accents sprinkled in, purely based on what I am watching at any given time.

rb this and tell me what ur accent is. this has no purpose except the fact i just realized i could have like... mutuals with cockney accents or newfoundland accents or something and thats just wild

Iirc Bea left an entire HOUSE to use as a safe place for young queer people!

sometimes i watch golden girls and i just tear up remembering everything each cast member did for the queer community

estelle getty lost her nephew to AIDS and moved in with him during the last months of his life to take care of him. she started a foundation that cares for people affected by AIDS that's still there to this day. she saw one of the writers on her show was queer, walked right up to him and said "you're one of us!" and promised to protect him. she put her career on the line to become an outspoken ally of AIDS patients at a time when it would've been career suicide

bea arthur was a staunch gay and trans ally who donated a lot of her time and money to helping homeless lgbt youth. when she died, she left them thousands of dollars to stay afloat after she was gone. she was incredibly socially active in the queer community!

rue mcclanahan was a staunch advocate of marriage rights for gay couples and openly devoted her time and money for the fight for equality. she also openly participated in queer spaces and loved the community with her entire heart. she was intimately aware of gay mens' particular love for her character blanche and she fully embraced it

everybody knows by now about betty white's activism, but i'll say it anyway. not only did she join the fight for marriage equality, but she was a great mother to her lesbian stepdaughter. she participated in anti-bullying campaigns specifically against lgbt youth. she accompanied liberace to events because it wasn't safe for him to be out. she loved us and she fought for us just like the others

all four of them did SO MANY amazing things for us, and it makes me happy that we had people like them -- that we still do in people like dolly parton! we didn't deserve them. i wish i could've met all of them and told them how grateful i am!

Everyone can understand at a corporate level that Starbuck is hurting financially in a big way right now. But let me share some insight at a single store level.

I've have friends who work at Starbucks. We're all very open with what goes on behind the scenes at our jobs because we truly don't care about keeping company secrets. We were all talking about how annoying work has been lately and they had volunteered some info on the weekly earnings at their storefront and the numbers are pure garbage!

I was told their Starbucks is only turning a profit of $3000 a week. Now those numbers might sound impressive off the bat, but my friends assured me those numbers were terrible because before the protests they would pull $7000 a week!

The protests have cut their sales by more than half! They're basically only selling less than $40 an hour! If a mom and pop store pulled those numbers they'd be foreclosing their shop as we speak!

Starbucks is hurting. McDonald's is hurting. Many brands and stores are feeling the weight of their anti Palestinian views and they're maulding!! The protests are working. Hurt them some more!

Absolutely AMAZING response by Watcher imo.

They acknowledged that they made a mistake, made the wider context more clear, and addressed basically all of the criticisms brought forward by the community as far as I know.

Anyone who already subscribed to the streaming service who no longer wants it gets a refund.

Patrons get a free subscription to the streaming service.

The service now only offers early, ad-free episodes that will still be released on YouTube.

They acknowledged the insensitivity of the original pitch and how the price is not something that everyone can afford.

THIS is how you respond to backlash, especially this widespread. Take time to collect your thoughts, take the criticism into account, and change your actions going forward.

Great job Watcher 👏
