you remember that morosexual post going around about being only attracted to dumbasses? that’s crowley and aziraphale but they’re like, both the morosexual and the dumbass
Millennials and Gen Z: Trump shows signs of being a genocidal dictator, we shouldn’t vote for him
Baby boomers: OOOOO Is your Safe Space being violated by his comments snowflake??? How AWFUL IT must be to have a REAL man for president instead of OoOoBamA
Trump, after being voted into office: *leaves the UN human rights council, puts hundreds of young children into prison camps and tent cities, takes away valuable items like rosaries similar to the removal of rings during the Holocaust, puts babies and toddlers into foster homes/orphanages, literally treats ACTUAL CHILDREN like prisoners for wanting a better life elsewhere*
Baby boomers: oh….oh no….
Millennials and Gen Z: *stare into the camera like they’re on the office*
bold of you to assume the boomers have reached the “oh no” point
bold of you to assume they ever will.
When are we gonna stop pretending like this is strictly a generational gap as if there aren’t a shit ton of alt-right millennials
UNfriendly reminder that whiteness was a MUCH stronger predictor of voting for Trump than age.
a muggleborn student coming to hogwarts with a thermos flask and filling it with tea in the morning so it stays hot all day and their pureblood friends are like “whoa what spell did you use for that” and they’re like “?????? it’s just a thermos???” and all the pureblood students start pointing their wands at cups and saying “THERMOS”
THERMOS
plot twist: it works, mugs suddenly start keeping tea at the perfect temperature for the caster all day. students in muggle studies start experimenting with other muggle jargon and a new generation of magic spells are born, propelling the stagnated wizard community into the technological age
*points wand at book* KINDLE!!!! *book propels itself into fireplace and bursts into flames* I FUCKED UP I FUCKED UP
The other day at the mall i saw a 15 year old sitting in a Claire’s piercing booth and it took every fiber in my being to not just grab her and take her to the actual, clean and sanitary and not guaranteed to fuck up your ears tattoo shop literally next door. Like I was frantic. Snakes manifested in my house
Piercing guns almost ALWAYS cause infections
They hurt more because they jam dull jewelry into your ear
Needles from a professional are designed to allow for minimum damage thus less pain.
The people working there literally have no idea what the fuck they’re doing and just guess it with a 1 hour training video vs a professional who trained under a mentor for at least a year and has a passion in the craft
They use bad metal for healings (copper, silver, etc) that can irritate ears. Surgical grade steel should be the only thing in your healing piercings
They put them on way to tight, causing swelling issues. Swelling is normal and piercings should be large enough to allow for that
They give you shit aftercare advice and cleaner (literally just buy saline solution at Spencer’s or hot topic for 8 dollars at the most and don’t touch them at all)
If done on cartilage it can LITERALLY SHATTER YOUR EARS
Please if any young girls in your family want their ears pierced take them to actual professional and don’t trust piercing guns. If a professional says your kid is too young (I.e a fucking baby) then trust their professional judgement. It costs more but you are getting essentially a art piece from a highly trained professional who knows what they’re doing vs a part time min wage employee who had 1 hour training on how to pierce ears.
I literally wrote an entire essay in college why piercing guns should be banned with pictures and my professor told me she was so interested in my topic and had no idea and even googled the topic herself out of curiosity and was horrified on the amount of damage they case
I am a licensed piercing professional and this is all sound and accurate advice. Get your piercings done by a licensed professional at a reputable shop. Not at the mall kiosk that uses piercing guns. Not by your friend who ordered a kit off of Amazon.
Association of Professional Piercers Aftercare Guide:
I refused to get any of my kids’ ears pierced until they would be able to make the decision for themselves. I can’t tell you how many people gave me shit for not taking them to a walmart kiosk or the mall to get them done. I nearly came to blows with my ex-mother in law over my refusal to get my eldest’s ears pierced that way.
My eldest daughter asked why her ears aren’t pierced yet, and I explained that I wanted to give her the choice, because I was taken to a Claire’s at about 11 years old, and had them done with a gun. Which hurt so much, I didn’t want her to be in pain like I was. I promised her that if she wanted them done later in life, I would take her to the piercing parlor and hold her hand if she needed it.
I didn’t tell her that my mother and the sales associates held me down to do it, or that it took about 3 years for my ears to stop seeping fluids (not counting the scars around the piercings, or my metal allergy that started after I got them done.)
Don’t fucking do that shit to your kids, especially little babies, I heard one person say that they wanted to get their newborn’s ears pierced at the mall, and I had to leave the area before I was arrested for stealing the baby away like the Evil Witch everyone thought I was to raise her as my own.
The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.
I know I’m That Guy™ , but it is possible to advocate for social reform without sweeping under the rug the very real tragedies and human rights violations that have existed under communist regimes
Also in this scene they made poc dress as the natives too the white kids were the pilgrims, excluding Wednesday, and the nerdy boys. Wednesday acknowledged her privilege and shut that shit down.
