Yeah quiet quitting is great and all but have you tried chaotic working?

Like. I remember back in my grocery store cashier days I did so much crazy shit.

When WIC (Women, infants, and children voucher program to help low income mothers/families with children) people were in my line I would pretty much know who they were. Before the cards they had to tell us upfront they were WIC and show us their vouchers for what they were allowed to get (it was awful some times. Like. 2 gallons of milk. $4 worth of vegetables etc etc). They’d always have items hanging back, waiting to see what the total was and if they would have to take it off the belt.

I began to place the fruits/vegetables a certain way on the register scale so that like 1/2lbs of grapes read as like .28lbs or something. Then act shocked when I said that they still had X amount of lbs left. They got all their fruit and vegetables.

I think it started to kinda? Catch on to the women? Because I would have the same moms in my line month after month. And even after they switched to the cards (they worked like food stamp cards?) I’d still do the same thing. They were able to get more produce for whatever shitty max amount Indiana gave them.

Anyways. Be chaotic. It’s more fun that way.

I almost scrolled past this but my mom was a janitor too. PSA.

PSA Just because someone is paid to sweep the floors doesn’t mean you’re allowed to leave your shit all over the place. Clean up after yourself and teach your kids to do the same.

[ID: a screenshot of a tweet by Tina Vasquez that reads: “My dad, who is a janitor, told me the holiday season is very hard on him because people have office parties & don’t clean up after themselves, which doubles his work. So, PSA: Don’t be an asshole. If you have an office party, clean up after. Shit doesn’t magically clean itself.” End ID.]

As fun as it is to make fun of returning tumblr users, I’m actually surprised to see quite a lot artists coming back to test the waters and post their art on here again eventhough they’ve lost all momentum on here and/or naturally lost most of their followers because of the drought of activity. 

If you see an artist you haven’t seen post in awhile and they post their new art on here. Please give them a reblog and not just a like for their work.

Actually, I'm starting to think Elon made Twitter better 🤣🤣

I can't imagine why any advertisers would ever want to leave this site...

More!

... these accounts seem to be getting suspended slower now... several of these ones are still up and running lol

This is amazing and the most comprehensive compilation I've seen yet and really underscores just how fucking screwed Musk is.

Like, it seems very obvious that Elon Musk, being a moron who only cares about status and has only a vague idea of how anything works, did not really grasp that the blue check mark is not a sign that someone is important, but a sign that they have proven to Twitter that the user is who they say they are. And so he thought he was coming up with a clever way to charge people to be marked as important, and instead he gave people the ability to pay eight dollars and credibly impersonate elected officials, celebrities, and major corporations. And also, don't forget, him.

And the fact that he did this after laying off all the people who handle this sort of quality control, and the fact that he rolled it out in under a month, and the fact that he was much quicker to block people impersonating him than people impersonating others, and the fact that there were absolutely no effective safe guards in place...

...yeah, the lawsuits are going to start hitting the courts in the next couple months, and the Congressional hearings might just start before then.

And I am going to laugh.

Because it’s happened to us on a trek, if you see abandoned clothes, stop and search for anyone nearby. Late-stage hypotherima causes a thing called paradoxical undressing where the person feels too hot and starts taking their clothes off.

for a little bit of an order for this if it isn’t obvious: Take any wet clothes off (including sweaty clothes!! underlayers can become soaked with sweat while working in the cold and lead to hypothermia later) BEFORE you wrap the person in warm dry blankets/clothing. 

Also I cannot stress the ‘do not rub’ thing enough. If you have a frozen steak, let it thaw a little bit and then give it a good rub. Take a peek at it via a hand lens. You’ll see tons of little cuts/gashes. That’s from the ice crystals cutting into the flesh. NEVER rub the skin of a hypothermia/extreme cold exposed person to warm them up unless you want the same damn thing happening to their flesh.

Don’t warm the extremities (hands/feet) too quickly. Not only would it be extremely painful, but the vessels in said extremities opening too quickly can lead to shock (part of the direct heat issue).
