the reason mulder is very suave and cool during the first episode and then never again is because he spent 3 years alone in a basement thinking of dope shit to say to impress girls. “nobody down here but the fbi’s most unwanted” “that’s why they put the i in fbi” “something cosmic” like COME ON!! bro’s been practicing those lines he made flash cards he rehearsed them in the mirror. problem is he got too excited and used them all within the first like 2 weeks so by the fifth episodes he’s like.

There’s a happy ending to, because the robbery was unsuccessful, the couple ended up getting the money Eden needed from a movie inspired by em! Also John only had to serve part of his sentence. Check out their wedding photos btw they’re beautiful.
reblogging because I’ve seen this post a thousand times and I’ve never seen the happy ending!!
I am honor bound to repeat every time it comes across my dash - this is the story that they used to do Dog Day Afternoon.
There once was a man from the sticks Whose limericks stopped at line six. They were fine till line five Then they took quite a dive — But the problem is easy to fix If you just ignore the last line, it doesn’t even follow the rhyme scheme oh god I’ve really lost control of this thing I’m so sorry…
There once was a fellow named Dan, Whose poetry never would scan. When told this was so, He replied, “Yes, I know– It’s because I try to squeeze as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can.”
Not queer as in gay but queer is in a political movement against heteronormativity, amatonormativity, cisnormativity, ideals of parenthood with a single long term partner as ‘THE natural part of life that everyone wants’
Queer as in sex ed for kids and the elderly, queer as in free condoms in old folks homes, queer as in destigmatize STIs and stop calling them dirty, queer as in pro-sex workers and decriminalization
Queer as in decolonisation, prison and police reform/abolition, as in education reform, as in medical reform, as in harm reduction clinics, as in not only more women’s shelters but also men’s shelters and gender-neutral shelters
Queer as in anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-transphobia, anti-queerphobia, anti-intersexism, anti-aphobia, anti-fatphobia, anti-islamophobia, and anti-antisemitism
Queer as in “yeah my gender IS sparkly blue and my sexuality is one you’ve never heard of and that’s okay”
Not queer as in gay, but queer as in rallying call
Edit: also queer as in anti-ableism!! See my add-on in a different reblog for my full statement on ableism and queerness

I think one of the reasons drag kings aren’t as popular as drag queens, aside from the fact that straight women don’t like us, is that people are uncomfortable acknowledging masculinity as a performance. Like we as a society know that femininity is a performance, with its own costumes and rules. Masculinity is also a performance, and nothing makes that more clear than someone making an exaggeration of it
Some nerds on the internet: you can’t make your OC too awesome because then it’s a Mary Sue and nobody will like them
Guillermo Del Toro, a man with balls: his name is STACKER PENTECOST and he leads a LEGION OF GIANT ROBOTS that are piloted by HIS FAMILY and he funds by SELLING MONSTER PARTS ON THE BLACK MARKET and he’s played by IDRIS ELBA
“Straws give you wrinkles” “sunlight gives you age spots” “smiling with your eyes gives you laugh lines” okay but what if I did that. What if I drank Vanilla Coke from a bendy straw and danced in the sunlight and laughed with reckless abandon. What then. We all age we all get wrinkles we all grow old and dammit I will do it with the sun on my face and the joy of life at my back
You’re thinking of a nephew job. A job that doesn’t actually need to be done, like mowing your lawn when you’re totally fine mowing it yourself… or is actually part of another job, like bagging groceries when that’s actually part of the cashier’s job, for which they are fairly compensated. It’s not really a necessary service. But you have your nephew (who lives in a financially stable home) come in and do it sometimes.
Nephew jobs are great bc they get pocket money and experience, and you get the chance to teach and reward. But they aren’t real jobs. On the days he isn’t there, everything runs smoothly. If he messes up, it’s fine. If he has to quit for a while bc he has a really hard class, he can totally do that with no issues for anyone involved, and come back once he takes his finals. He’s not going hungry and you’re not in a bind. Nobody is actually depending on anybody.
If your employee depends on the income, regardless of age (some of y'all have never met a teen working to pay bills and it shows), or you depend on their work to make things run smoothly, it’s not a nephew job. It’s a job. You don’t get to skate by on “it’s not real work” while expecting and needing real work.
And I love that everybody still thinks minimum wage is for fast food. Friends and neighbors, minimum wage jobs are everywhere. There’s a good chance you’re being helped by a minimum wage (or just above, at a non-livable wage still tethered to the minimum) worker when you talk to anyone but a manager in a store or restaurant, call in to a customer service line, go through a teller line at a bank, get loan paperwork processed, have your pictures taken at a small studio, have a drug test sample delivered to a lab, order pretty much anything, schedule appointments, have any interaction at a hotel, get a phone call from a business, pay a bill, buy custom merchandise, get your phone looked at, ad nauseum.
Even if you truly think that fast food restaurants should only be open for 4 hrs in the evening on weekdays, and weekends, and run entirely by minors… and you don’t, let’s be real, you want an adult to cook your food safely and run your card properly and handle issues, stop lying… Do you really want that to also be the case when you need to call in to get your cable fixed? Do you want to give your payment information and SSN to 16-yr-olds? Do you want someone who can’t buy cigarettes yet handling your medical data for about the price of a pack per hour? Bc that’s what minimum wage really is.
If a job is necessary and in demand, you have to pay for it. My grandfathers each supported a family of 6 on “unskilled” labor, back when the minimum was coupled to productivity and inflation. That’s what the intent was when minimum wage was implemented. Every honest job had to give you enough buying power to provide for your family. Now we provide far more value in a shorter period of time, and have less and less buying power.
If it’s more important for you to rationalize your own suffering by treating other ppl like shit, than to acknowledge the dysfunction and try to make it so your kids and peers don’t suffer, you are the one with the problem. They don’t need a different job. You need therapy.
“You stupid asses. You can’t start at the top.”
This is the response someone gave to a person suggesting that maybe, just maybe, people who work should make enough to not also require welfare.
“You can’t start at the top.”
As if only the CEO deserves to be able to eat.
There shouldn’t even be a “top.” There shouldn’t be CEO jobs that allow someone to soak up other worker’s money while they play golf. The CEO shouldn’t earn a single penny more per hour than the cashier. In most (almost all) cases the CEO doesn’t even do anything necessary at all.
