i can’t stress how important it is to know who you are as a person because people will literally try to project their insecurities + preconceived notions onto you.
So recently, I’ve been noticing a lot more people starting to call Disney out on their bullshit, which is really awesome because Goddamn have they just gotten worse and worse as time goes on, but there’s one things I’ve started to notice about these posts that I think warrants a really important addition that needs to be made to all future callouts.
You see in a lot of these cases the consensus is “Fuck Disney” and while that’s very true, in reality your kinda being extremely broad here, as the company is broken up into at least 8 different studios, split into different divisions like ones for the theme parks and resorts, one for the cruise line etc, and has hundreds of thousands of employees under its belt. A lot of times when companies like Amazon and Tesla are called out, people are also making sure to specifically calling out their CEOs and founders, in this case Bezos and Musk, and making it very clear that they are also very much so in the wrong here, rightfully so placing the responsibility onto them.
But I rarely ever see this happen with Disney, and I thinks it’s important we start to change that a bit. Right now Disney as a whole is being helmed by two men, Bob Iger and Bob Chapek, as even though Chapek has officially been named the CEO and Iger was on his way out, he decided to step back into the role for a bit due to the pandemic, so he’s still very much at fault for a lot of this as well. You might know Iger as the man responsible for buying up, well, pretty much every hot ticket property Disney has right now including Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel and as well as plenty of other shady deals. He’s even made it clear that’s he looking to take up a Presidential bid sometime in the next few years which is just Absolutely Yikes. Chapek on the other hand, is so notorious that even die-hard Disney fans more often then not will say they despise him, mainly due to his massive budget cuts in the theme parks that have not only dulled down the overall experience, but more importantly have resulted in thousands of cast members, even before the pandemic, being laid off because he didn’t see them as being “necessary”. His most common nickname is Lex Luther for a reason. And what’s worst, while they both agreed to cutting off their salaries completely at the start of the pandemic, they’ve since gone back to being paid-in full, and they’re still laying off massive amounts of their workers while their parks are being reopened, which I can tell you from personal experience is exactly what Chapek wanted all along.
There’s plenty more about these two guys that I could talk about, but the point here is it’s time to put faces and names to a lot of the shit the company has being trying to get away with over the years, and I wanna keep this post relatively short. So, just please remember, make sure whenever you say “Fuck Disney” that you also make sure to say “Fuck Bob Iger” and “Fuck Bob Chapek”. Make their names just as known as Bezos and Musk for all the wrong reasons, and maybe we can stop another fucking millionaire from having one of the highest seats in the US government.
The princess was cursed that her first husband would die a horrible death. In order to avoid this horrible fate the royal family used you as a scapegoat and married you to the princess. But because of your immortality you have died over 20 times and still come back to life.
“Darling one of these days we should really let my parents in on your, um, condition.”
The arrow lodged within my chest comes out cleanly as I remove it, admiring the feathers before adding it to my collection. “Now where’s the fun in that, love? Their assassins are just starting to get creative.”
(this prompt was keeping me up at night so here you go… A bit different than how I normally write but I had fun with it!)
My first brush with death was, technically speaking, before I was really alive.
You see, my father was a necromancer who saved his lady love from an untimely end. Coincidentally, she was also with child at the time of this little intervention. There’s no telling if he ever considered the ramifications of his defiance of fate that day. I never did ask. I don’t know that it would have made much of a difference. So long as he had my mother back.
We lived well, my parents and I. My father made his living as a “healer” whose reputation preceded him in a number of social circles, bringing with it many a well paying customer hoping to buy his discrepancy. Duelists who let things get out of hand. Those with secrets and regrets they wished to undo as quietly as possible. Their reasons never really mattered much so long as they paid in full. Some made surprisingly good children’s entertainers. But I suppose people will do just about anything when there’s a life on the line. Even answer an endless stream of questions from a child up passed their bedtime.
By the time of my second brush with death I had grown into a young man. All told it was rather underwhelming. The stable had caught fire from a lightning strike. In my rush to save the horses I foolishly turned my back on our more unpredictable mare, earning me an unfortunate blow to the head.
I woke up in the mud before my father even reached the scene. I assumed then that I had just been lucky. If my parents had any suspicions to the contrary, they never voiced them.
if you lose your job because you decided to participate in an unorganized general strike that wasn’t backed by a union just because you saw it on twitter; good luck charlie
these are the people who are attempting to run your october 15 strike
don’t give these people your money if they ask
This is so obviously a scam.
A general strike can work, but it can only work if it’s unionized. I do believe there’s actual unions trying to do this, but you need to hunt them out. They most likely will not have a discord. I don’t want to discourage people from a general strike but this isn’t how you do it.
Some of y’all think that holding hands and sharing a bed is immediately romantic, and this is why people cannot differentiate between romantic, platonic, and familial forms of love.
Nothing is EVER inherently romantic. The meaning of a gesture is determined by the people involved in it, not some random outsider.
I’m so close to being done with this commission! Necklace is complete. I’ll take better pictures later when I complete the matching earrings, but it’s the most ambitious work I’ve taken on so far, as most of it is gold. Like, actual gold, which I’ve never worked with before.
Not sure if I intend to pursue trying to make and sell more pieces in the near-distant future, but it’s quite possible. Gods know I could use a source of extra income to help save up for a place with my gf (and our friends). I’ll keep y'all updated on that, for sure~
