hrlfnsdfcndsbl I don't want to go to work today..... "enjoy your quiet week" they said on christmas eve, sike, it's been really fucking busy ever since and the store's a complete mess and we're out of everything and there's no time to restock or do dishes or even have a fucking drink of water............. I stayed back half an hour on boxing day because we were getting overrun during shift handover, came in an hour early on tuesday to cover a sick teammate, lost my fucking day off and had to work the evening shift last night because of another sick teammate (in the 3 customer-facing hours I had I think I got a combined total of <5 minutes to do anything except serve a literally endless stream of people), back in again tonight with a worse team on and then again tomorrow morning, meanwhile the rest of out staff have all gotten to have at least one day off in all of this and I'm the only dumbass stuck working it all... and then I have one day of rest on sunday and then back in again new years' day and the next...

#i'm so tired #I woke up at 7am yesterday to get to the shops for some flowers for mum and then got home at 11pm after work #have barely gotten to eat anything in all of this #I'm about to go apeshit if any customer starts acting up again today I swear... some real fuckos this past week and I'm done with it #we're not allowed to stop drinks early but we had no packup done and had to stop taking orders 20mins before close last night #and of course we had like five people getting really angry that they can't have their fucking late-night lrg mocha almond 90 degrees or w/e #we ran out of chocolate twice with tons of drinks and no time to make more so we had to stop service midway twice anyway #I coulnd't even wash a single milkshake jug without being accosted by another customer as soon as I turned to the sink #I quite literally got nothing done except serve people endlessly for 3 hours straight without a break... I won't be surprised if I lose my- #-voice after having to shout over the sound of blenders and machinery and a packed store for five days in a row #fuck this honestly #I said I wouldn't do it again this year and once again I find myself stuck doing it anyway... nobody gives a damn if they're not the ones- #-suffering to work it #rant #kate being trash

I can’t believe “Song Lan is boring” is such an incredibly prevalent idea in this fandom. 2 me he is everything

#(never talks about him) but. listen #ok mi brain not working today but I’ll go into this later #he’s interesting the way XXC is interesting for giving up his previous way of life to try to make the world better #he’s interesting bc of the way his life is so intertwined with the other Yi City fuckos #he’s interesting bc his FAMILY is DEAD #he’s interesting because he got his voice taken away in a society that has no standardized sign language where most ppl aren’t literate #he’s interesting bc like. he was one of a pair. inseparable. and then he wasn’t #and then he had a master whose side he never left (unwillingly). and now he doesn’t #like. Song Lan is the loneliest man in the world and he’s undead why don’t you CARE ABOUT HIM

Tuesday Morning:

And the chest pains have returned.

Nobody wants to mix Pepsi with rum or whiskey, only Coke will do.

Sadly Coke is an enormous pain in the ass to deal with, and they know it.

Bringing back Royal Crown Cola. TeamRC!!

What the actual fuck, Larry David.

So I heard about it, but didn't watch it until now. Holy shit it's even worse than I thought. What the fuck is wrong with that guy? Elmo is, like, the best friend to multiple generations of children, and is currently putting mental health and caring for others in the spotlight.

And Larry Fucking David ... did ... that? And thought it was going to be ... funny?

What an asshole. What a stupid, self-centered, tone deaf asshole.

Hey, fucko: First of all, you aren't even in the segment, but you just decided to barge in and draw focus because ... why? You couldn't stand that a puppet brought people together in a meaningful way that you can't? You couldn't stand that your appearance on national television to promote your wildly successful series was delayed for a few seconds while the adults talked about mental health?

I really want to know what raced through his tiny little mind, and why there was no voice or person who spoke up to stop him.

You know who is watching the Today show with their parents? Kids who also watch Sesame Street. Elmo is an avatar for children all over the world. Children who are too small to understand Elmo is a puppet will know that a man attacked him for no reason, and that will frighten them.

Elmo inspired a deeply meaningful and important moment of collective support among disparate people who have been struggling through the traumas of a pandemic, daily mass shootings, the rise of fascism and everything associated with Trump's violence and cruelty.

And shitty idiot Larry David couldn't stand it, for some reason. He had to indirectly tell everyone who opened their hearts to a Muppet that they were stupid, and he thought it was a good joke to physically attack and choke this character who is beloved by children and adults alike.

I've been bored by and totally over Larry David's brand of being an asshole to everyone because they had the temerity to exist around him since the day it started. It was easy to just ignore him. But this thing he did was hurtful, it wasn't funny, and his bullshit non-apology tells all of us everything we need to know about him.

Larry David strikes me as a person who mocks and belittles people who are vulnerable and sensitive, who is cruel because he enjoys it and is untouchable. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's who I see whenever I can't find the remote and he's on my television.

By contrast, Elmo and the Muppets teach and model that kindness and empathy aren't weak or stupid or any of the things people like Larry David and my dad think they are. Elmo and the Muppets teach children to be gentle and kind, to celebrate our different cultures and to embrace all of our complicated feelings.

I hope that, when the dust settles, Larry David's appalling behavior will be a footnote to a larger story about how, for just one day, a Muppet made a difference by helping all of us who are struggling feel just a little less alone and anxious.

A man who would belittle and mock that isn't much of a man at all.
