No kink at pride is so funny cause what is and isn’t considered kink is inherently ambiguous and based on a power structure of who gets to be considered normal in society. And here you are enforcing it, siding with it.
Like how it’s considered a kink to be into fat people and fat bodies are considered fetishistic in any sexual context but toned, skinny bodies are just for normal people? Yeah.
Like how it’s considered a kink to have sex with disabled people? Yeah.
I was at work and I had the hiccups and I was stocking an aisle and this lady in the aisle heard me hiccuping and said “oh have you got the hiccups?” and I said yeah and she said “…Do you want me to get rid of them?” and I thought she meant she was going to scare me so I was like “n-no thanks” and she was like “you want to keep your hiccups??” and I said “yeah please dont scare me” and then I wandered off
And then a couple minutes later I still had hiccups and she walked by on her way out and she said “I wasn’t going to scare you you know” and I said “you weren’t?” and she said “no – I have a way I can cure hiccups” and I was like “well what is it?” she’s like “theres something about me that when I talk to people their hiccups just go away. i just chat or maybe tell them a story and after a minute or so their hiccups are just gone” and I thought she was like definitely on some pseudoscience shit so i kind of laughed and joked like “you should expect a call from the X-Men soon then” and she said “no. For real. I bet your hiccups are gone now aren’t they?” and sure enough my fucking hiccups were gone. They stopped while she was speaking to me and didn’t come back all night
what the fuck kind of power did this woman have… was she a hiccup witch??? I have so many questions for her
Hey y'all. With the Writer’s Guild of America on strike, you might be hearing a lot more about something called “residuals,” which are payments that the writers get for the studios continuing to air their work on reruns and such. Already I’m seeing people trying to frame the union trying to bargain for better residuals as greedy and unreasonable, so I just wanted to give you guys a peek into my dad’s full, 100% real residual payments for writing some of the most watched episodes of American late night television.
Yeah lol. If u hear anyone trying to frame the conversation around residuals as writers being greedy, please do me a favor and punch them straight in the face ❤️🙃🙃
The last time I saw any real money from film and TV was in 2008, when I got a substantial cheque from the WGA (who administer residuals and such) for my share as cowriter of the Beowulf DVD. And then DVDs were done and became a niche market.
These days residuals are… well, something you can take a friend to dinner with. Not something you could pay a monthly mortgage or the rent with.
(And I’m fine. My TV work over the last 5 years has been subsidised by my book and comics work.)
But I just got one even smaller than the one cent residuals…
