Man about town, well gay, and a charming mediocrity.
Whatever posts I put up on here are pretty reflective of my mind and who I am as a whole (and yes, I am receiving treatment).

Shoutout to the people that work back breaking labor jobs so we can eat. Nothing but respect for them.

I wish ya’ll get paid more. Ya’ll deserve it
No ethical consumption in capitalism
Stay in School!
What does this have to do with that???? Do you not realize we are always going to need people who work a trade like this???
Or would you rather have robots do it? But then you would complain about that too?
I hate when people scream stay in school for certain occupations, like farmers or field hands maids and janitors, fast food workers, plumbers and construction workers. Why not just treat them with fucking respect and pay them a Livable wage.
Cause if everyone stopped these core jobs that benefits ALL of us, who the fuck gone do it??
^^
also, have they ever planted ANYTHING?! it’s not like you don’t need to know shit to farm.
What specific breeds of carrot are you growing and why? You cannot have A SINGLE FUCKING PEBBLE in that dirt or else the carrot will grow all wrong- did you know that? Is your soil alkaline or acidic? That could ruin a whole crop. What was planted in that field BEFORE? THAT could ruin a whole crop!
Did it rain too much? Too little? What kind of watering do you have to do? Do you water on top of the plant, or at the sides, or flood from the bottom to only hit the soil? Some plants LOVE over-the-top of the plant watering, and some will fucking die from that. Basil is a picky motherfucker and will get moldy if you don’t water JUST RIGHT. Also, time of day of said watering! When is the best time for THAT plant to be watered? Some thrive if you water in noonday sun but if you water at night, they rot, others won’t have enough water to seep down into them and it’ll ruin the plant.
What kind of pesticides are safe to use on what you grow? Roses are farmed like this too, but different pesticides can be used on those because you don’t fucking eat them. Or does this farm need to use co-planting? Is co-planting effective on the size of land you’re working, or does it create more problems? When you see spots on some leaves, are those spots spider mites? Did you check for ants (they protect mites)? Are they mildew from too much moisture? What about yellow leaves- root rot? Or not the right nutrients? Or something else? Can that spread to the other plants since they’re planted closely together to maximize profits? Are ten diseases plants already blowing infected particles to your WHOLE FIELD???
The weather patterns are all fucked up, so what makes for good times to plant and good times to harvest? Some of the seasons are stretching into extra time, so it’s not like they can always count on planting in February or whatever. You can’t.
Bitch if you don’t think farmers didn’t already have a kind of schooling, you’re not allowed to eat anymore. Maybe you should go to college to find out how agriculture fucking works, idk.I’ve been thinking this and I could never word it right.
Farming is a science. Not all farmers went to school but they understand the land and how their crops work. Farmers understand more about the earth than we do, they understand how to make shit grow while the rest of us are killing simple house plants. Farm hands are also very educated in farming, especially in different areas as they move around a lot depending on the season.
So don’t be a dick.

Murray Melvin is the ideal Reyer.
This is like a study in how many expressions three characters can cram into a frame. The last gif is the story an entire life lived in a moment. This gifset describes a heroic journey. Jonathan is briefly wildly excited by the statue’s feet before resigning himself to his fate. Ardeth’s instant transition from drama to annoyance when Rick lights a match on his beard is highly relatable. why did Rick stop the action just to strike a match on a friend’s rugged jaw. how fantastic are Ardeth’s robes. what are their faces doing in the last gif. is anyone in this film capable of doing anything at a normal level with any modicum of focus, or do they all stumble dramatically out of bed in the morning and pick a fight with the floor. Give me more disasters, that’s what I want. more relatable, distractible disasters. not a single one of them can focus on deadly dangers for more than a moment without being distracted by feet, jawlines, banter, books, swishing their clothes and grabbing each other. none of them can hold a torch properly.

One of my students wrote a very eloquent and well-researched paper for her english class about the unfair advantages and lack of accountability given to student athletes, and she specifically called out how much worse it is with football and basketball, and bruh. People are getting heated over this shit. She spoke nothing but the truth, and the football and basketball teams are PISSED — coaching staff included. Like she legit created a little controversy at our school by calling out the fact that athletics are prioritized over academics. WITH SOURCES.
And what’s funny is she played it smart — not only by giving herself some plausible deniability by writing it about high schools and colleges in general rather than just about our school, but also by calling out the worst sports specifically. She could have left it at ALL student athletes, but by explicitly stating that football and basketball are the worst perpetrators, she won all the other athletes to her side — golf, tennis, swimming, track. Instead of having all student athletes at her throat, she turned everyone against the basketball and football teams.
I’m so proud of her. Nobody listens to teachers when we bring up that half the football team is failing all their classes, but let a fellow student bring it up and everyone’s ready to riot.
