fellow aussies, know your rights as a consumer and don't let stingy companies get away with selling you shitty products and services without consequence

#auspol #anyway just sent a lengthy complaint to a company who sent me some really shitty masks and threw the ACL and a deadline at them #'If I do not hear from you within 10 days I will lodge a formal complaint with Consumer Affairs in my state.' #which is verbatim from the ACCC complaint letter sample #excellent sentence to wield against a company and get them to take you seriously #anyway thank u to The Checkout for teaching me about the ACL + other important shit that should be taught in school #gone but never forgotten o7

Three generations of italian-canadians, a french-canadian, an alabamian, and filipina-canadian are crowded around two dining tables smushed together in a tiny bungalow kitchen. Everyone is talking-yelling at top volume (affectionate). There is a never ending stream of food and homemade basement wine. My 13 yr old cousin is info dumping about nintendo without preamble or even introducing himself.

POV: you are my upper middle class WASP friend who I invited to Thanksgiving bc her family is all far away

#the duality of fran #I did warn her ahead of time but also #i hope it wasnt TOO overwhelming #ik it can be A Lot esp for ppl not from large families or yelling cultures #not to mention the oodles of leftovers foisted on the way out by my mother and nonna #yes we had thanksgiving a week late bc bro 2 was gonna be in town #but still! #it was good and fun #and I hope she thought so too and it wasnt just. insane overstimulation #im used to it but idk yknow??? #esp from a small very well off family where this is normally a formal stiff affair #to then go to a large immigrant house #everyone was on their best behaviour and politics talk was banned #so everyone got along fine #but even when everyone is happy it's just LOUD

i’m curious in which sciences it is a common thing to wear lab coats when giving public relations talks and presentations and things. because i have never encountered this outside of on the news; is it just for that or do chemists just have an instinctive fight or flight reaction to someone wearing a lab coat outside of areas with chemicals

#polo shirt for casual affairs #suit for formal ones #EDIT: to be clear i’m not just talking about doctors people do this at climate change rallies

Anne de Pisseleu had exercised a form of power that was intrinsically extra-institutional and dependent entirely of the king’s favor; her role was clearly understood by political insiders. Criticism took the form of conventional hostility to the role of women in power, yet in the king’s lifetime had to be circumspect and oblique. However, she lived more than half her life after the death of the king whose love had given her power and wealth. In this, she weathered the storm of disgrace remarkably effectively, carved for herself a new role and ended her life a moderately wealthy woman whose assets became a matter for ferocious competition among her relatives.

-David Potter, "The Life and After-Life of a Royal Mistress: Anne de Pisseleu, Duchess of Étampes"

#historicwomendaily #Context: She lived for over 70 years and was a royal mistress for only 20 of them (till Francis's death) #anne de pisseleu #french history #16th century #my post #Francis I #queue #I hate how Anne is dismissed and deemed irrelevant after Francis I's death #Most historians merely claim that she was exiled; fell into disgrace and humiliation; and died in obscurity #Kathleen Wellman even goes to say that Anne was shut up by her husband in a gloomy castle for the rest of her life #(And there's always a distasteful tone of wry satisfaction as they say this - as if she was finally 'getting what she 'deserved') #Suffice to say: this idea is objectively incorrect and I hate it #yes Anne DOES seem to have had an incredibly harrowing and horrible experience for a few years after; that should never be overlooked #But as this article says: Anne managed to weather her 'fall' and carve a new role for herself extraordinarily well #It's one of the most interesting things about her life to me #She still had wealth and property which she rigorously administered and expanded; she headed family affairs and arranged marriages; #She and her terrible husband appear to have informally separated (with a formal separation of property) and in his own last will he #flat-out wrote that Anne 'would never take her place as my wife'. She outlived him by around 15 years and 100% got the last laugh. #She also openly embraced Protestantism in the height of the Wars of Religion which was such a major bad bitch move #guaranteeing her both personal protection and material gratification #In fact one of the last known references of her was in 1576 where she hosted a meeting of Protestant leaders in her castle of Challuau #As you can see: Anne transitioned public royal influence to private personal power #But she clearly remained at the heart of politics and war throughout it all and was always relevant

sonic has several rivals to spar with where if someyhing went wrong either of them would immediately stop and be like oh shit you ok? need help? here, let me help you up.

sparring with shadow tho they gotta play closed-off mind games instead of express outright concern. one could say "that really fucking hurt" but the other will only acknowledge, not comfort. its still fun for them but its a very competitive "have you considered getting good?" reaction to injuries that gets a mutually understood and unstated pause from play, but youre wrapping up your scrapes on your own, buddy.

#sonic #sparting with mighty has mighty Very Aware the entire time of where the line is #and planning to keep everything reasonable #sparring with blaze is a very formalized affair with encouragement and effort to improve form #sparring with knuckles is Hit Hard Until Oh Shit That Was Too Hard Lets Stop #sparring with amy is usually pretty restrained and short. easy to talk through #lot of 'throw the hardest punch you got' and 'give me the fastest target you can' #sparring with shadow is about Maiming For Fun And Play #myaa #th th

A familiar set of red eyes appeared in the darkness as Kaoru slumped over in his chair. “What’s wrong, little Kaoru?” Rei asked, sliding into a chair across from Kaoru. He picked up one of the books and thumbed through it, seemingly able to read the words despite the dimming candle light. 

“Nothing, just don’t want to go back to studies next week.” Kaoru’s finger traced a circle on the table. “What about you?” 

Rei laughed softly. “It’s nothing you need to worry yourself with.” What a non-answer. By this point Kaoru was aware of the weird disease that impacted the Sakuma family and that Rei was concerned about how it would develop in his younger brother, but the details of it were never specific.

“Is it your brother again?” He couldn’t help but ask. Kaoru had met the younger Sakuma a few times and he was polite enough to his face, though Kaoru suspected he was just putting up an act like everyone else. 

“How astute of you Kaoru,” Rei commented, setting the book down on the table, bored of its contents already. “But no, it’s not about little Ritsu this time.” Kaoru raised an eyebrow but decided to let the conversation drop for now. Rei grabbed another book. “You’ve been reading an awful lot about mermaids recently.” 

#its still wednesday here have part of ch3 of i belong to the salt and the sea and the stones #no its not reikao they are platonic in this fic okayyyyyy #shay writes #my wips #wip wednesday #<- eh not formally but yeah. wanted to show off smth #maybe i'll write more tonight i'm kinda feeling it #2 more weeks til i am officially done with my job at joanns #and then... i think the weekend after that i will hopefully still have off #and i want to go to the maritime museum up north which will be a whole day affair #but i think it'll be good for me maybe i'll get some inspiration for this

Kian always automatically assumes Rand or Rolan is trying to flirt with him whenever they do something nice because he hasn’t been in a genuine loving relationship in a long time and everything has always been trying to get something out of him

#but rolan and Rand are kind for the sake of it #because they love him and want to take care of him #but Kian always gets so flustered because he thinks they’re flirting #and he loves them so much he’s more than okay w them flirting #but their love is so overwhelming to him who has had so many loveless affairs #he barely remembers how to love genuinely #he loves with all his heart and his heart on his sleeve #but he doesn’t know how to do it formally #rambling #phever dreams with phantom #phantom posting #jrwi

I don’t have a very strong accent so I’ve been used to southern English folk saying, often in surprise, that I don’t sound Scottish (haha) or that I sound posh.

 HOWEVER I’ve also heard them claim that they still don’t understand me and while I could interpret that as people with a lazy ear being rude, or perhaps they have a few understandable auditory processing issues (look comprehending speech is DIFFICULT, I struggle with it myself though not usually because of the speaker’s accent, just the speed at which you’re expected to consume ideas). However I’ve come to another conclusion lately- it might also be the grammar.

Apparently saying ‘I’ll not be a minute’ to some people is just as unintelligible as the deepest Doric and I really think we need to have a better appreciation for the quiet Scotticisms as much as the loud ones.

#Outwith is not a grammar thing but it's such a beautiful word #Also I fucking love saying 'I'm away' or 'That's me away' #Not just because it perfectly expresses the idea but because the Germans say 'Ich bin weg' too #And it feels like a North Sea version of that clenched hands meme #Like a toned down equivalent of the bairn thing for Norway #Screw you 'standard' English who says you have a monopoly on this tongue #Or on Scots as an equal descendant of Old English for that matter #Even if it has been carrying on a strange affair with Gaelic as well as French Dutch and Latin #Not like 'standard' English ever had a fling with Norman French or anything #To be clear in essays and other public/professional writing I think people should attempt to use 'correct' grammar #But in informal situations they should do what they want #And even in those formal situations where you're trying to make sure that your writing has the widest reach possible #I think it's still permitted to occasionally use a local word when no other will do because lots of people who write in standard English #frequently use words that most of their audience aren't familiar with and have to look up in the dictionary #If most people have to look up cadastral and epicene I don't see why once in a blue moon someone can't also look up outwith or dreich

[a-lil-perspective]

It’s inherently funny to me that Crosshair and Delana elope (random thought I know, I’ve talked about it briefly before but I have more thoughts. Sorry, it’s not Soft Sniper Sunday but I’m always thinking about these two).

There’s literally no epic fanfare or dramatic climax (lol), it’s merely suggested in passing.

Of course there’s deep-rooted feelings to back it up; he’s in love with her and she’s in love with him, there’s a mutual, unspoken desire to spend the remainder of life with each other, but Crosshair is the one to suggest it, one quiet morning over breakfast.

Yes, Crosshair is the one who initiates.

~

“Let’s elope.”

Delana hides her surprise behind the rim of her mug. She takes a measured sip and lets the morning caf bring some clarity to his sudden advance. Not unanticipated. Just sudden.

Delana gives Crosshair a measured look. He’s dead serious, his caf totally abandoned in favor of eyeing her intently as he awaits her response. No doubt his fragile ego banking heavily on her assent.

The corner of her lip twitches. “Are you proposing?”

“I’m saying. Let’s get married.”

“Today?”

Crosshair shrugs. “Why not.”

~

It’s as simple as that. XD

(When she agrees with a casual and heart-stopping “Okay.” he’s taking an immediate sip of his caf to hide his stupid happy grin.😍)

#he doesn’t want the formality of a wedding #and she’s okay with that; neither does she #they’re not for big hullabaloos #they’re very simple (and private) people. #both brandishing hefty military upbringings leave them both never in want of superficial things #just each other. #it feels more intimate this way. #just he and her #their quiet; private affair #their deep commitment witnessed/professed by them and them alone. #Hunter and Cyare are way more traditional #anyway #I love them #tw relationships #tw proposal #tw marriage #tw elope #elopement #crosshair x delana #delana #crosshair x heartfire #heartfire #domestic!crosshair #ram’ser husband #crosshair #crosshair bad batch #clone trooper crosshair #tbb crosshair #it’s a lil thing

The story’s going along fine for now, but I’m just saying for a series titled “Leveling up my Husband to the Max”, 30 chapters in, there is still a distinct lack of levelling husband.

#leveling up my husband to the max #she’s like ‘I’m keeping him at arms length #and I’m like ‘girl you are actively trying to push him out of your life’ #getting him to address you formally #sleeping separately #telling him to his face you dislike him #not talking to him about HIS OWN HOUSE AFFAIRS #(and I am pissed that she forgot she said that) #(she couldn’t feel like talking to him about house problems) #(and they never resolve that) #everyone in the comments like ‘trauma’s hard gotta earn her trust’ and I get that #but so far he has #listened to her and ditched the battlefront because she simply asked #has told her multiple times that her assumption that he dislikes her are false #stood up for her when he’s around to her getting talked down on #STOOD UP TO HIS FUCKING ASSHOLE MOTHER FOR HER WHILE SHENWAS THERE TO WITNESS IT #even if she doesn’t know his backstory THAT IS A FAIR BIT #IT TOOK TIL 20-ISH CHAPTERS FOR HER TO REALISE THAT MAYBE THE WAR PTSD HE HAD IN THE FIRST LIFE WASN’T SO GREAT #DUDE’S BLUSHING EVERYTIME SHE THROWS HIM A CRUMB OF A COMPLIMENT AND SHE KEEPS THINKING HE’S ACTUALLY SNUBBING HER #HE’S A LITTLE OVERPROTECTIVE YEAH BUT SHE WAS A FORMER WEALTHY LADY AND THE LAND HE GOVERNS SUCKS #Maybe I’m sensitive because poor dude has communication problems thanks to insecurity #and I also have communication problems thanks to insecurity #and to see her interpreting them negatively #MY NIGHTMARE COME TRUE #I FEEL SORRY FOR HIM MAN #THIS SERIES HAS BEEN DOING HIM DIRTY FOR 30 CHAPTERS #AND I AM BEGINNING TO DOUBT THIS PAYOFF

Does anyone else just feel really bad for their FBI agent…. I have no doubt put that person through some crazy shit, and they probably think I’m a sociopath. The conversations that they’ve heard, whoooo 😮‍💨 juicy

man I’ve been getting random calls from various law firms and places of employment looking for a Eugene [insert surname here] since I was friggin 17 and like. last call was maybe a year ago. I thought maybe he had finally stopped using my cell phone number for this.

but no. I’m sitting here waiting for a phone call from a place I want to interview for and when my phone rings, it’s for... Eugene. I suppose it was too much to hope that he’d finally changed his contact info.

#personal tag #the Eugene saga #to be updated sporadically bc it's a sporadic affair for sure #grateful that at least it's still not the year where several law firms kept calling over and over no matter how many times I said #that they had the wrong number #where are you Eugene. where are you and what have you been doing for 9+ years that I am getting calls about formal complaints
