the only rich people i accept is the Addams family
The Addams family are the type of people who would go out to eat, order water, and still leave a large tip.
They’re the couple that goes out to hole in the wall Italian Resteraunts, rent out the room, bring in a band, keep the waiter running around trying to get delicate oddities as gifts for each other, order nothing, and still leave a $100+ tip
I disagree about the “order nothing” – I feel like they’d order everything, absolutely everything, and insist on the staff joining them.
I feel like they’d realize the cooks and the chefs also need to eat, then Gomez would shout “staff meal!” and insist on taking over. Morticia would read off the wine list and Gomez would “Tish! That’s French!” and kiss up her arm.
Pugsley would take over stirring as Wednesday began plating everything.
It would be come a thing. Every few months, Thing would scamper into the restaurant and find the first open day without reservations, or if the restaurant didn’t have any, a day on the calendar they could take over.
Staff families would start coming after the third or fourth trip, around Halloween. Some would be wary, others enjoy it immediately. By the holidays, the Addams would be buying presents and the entire clan would dress as weird non-denomination Santa Claus and hand them out.
Uncle Krampus, the actual Krampus, would start joining and would teasingly threaten the staff’s kids, who would giggle and laugh madly and insist on rides in his basket.
“They did not tell you, did they? How hearts break in the quietest hour, all hidden up in a beautiful smile. Or how they laugh until they run out of breaths while a thousand needles find their way underneath their skin. They really did not tell you, did they? That you do not have to yell or cry out to the sky to be in pain, that you can still go on like nothing is wrong while crumbling down deep inside. They did not tell you at all, did they?”
Four roommates are extraterrestrials who have taken human form in the hopes of learning about Earth’s culture. Unfortunately, each alien is from a different planet and believes the other three are normal humans.
I would read this
OH MY GOD
Starring Jack Black, The Rock, Jeff Goldblum and Taika Waititi
And Mads Mikkelsen, the human neighbour that is weird enough that all the aliens think he’s an alien too.
they all are sure hes an alien and will go talk to him about how hard it is being an alien on earth, will even talk really frankly to him about it, but weirdly no matter what they say hes always like ‘oh yeah i can relate’
It got about a thousand times better than the last time I reblogged this I think.
Platonic intimacy is seeing your friend’s car in the grocery store parking lot and parking so close to him that he can’t open his door and has the crawl through the passenger’s side.
Platonic intimacy is hot gluing four copies of Resident Evil – Code: Veronica to the ceiling of his hallway closet and seeing how long it takes him to notice that there’s four copies of Resident Evil – Code: Veronica hot glued to the ceiling of his hallway closet.
Platonic intimacy is watching the graceful curve of his body as he stretches in bed, fixating on the strip of skin where his shirt’s pulled up juuuust enough that you can sneeze on his exposed stomach and then run away while he’s distracted and bewildered by how super gross and unnecessary that was.
Platonic intimacy is sending him an e-mail that says, “The Harbinger of Boy Sauce is Upon You,” instead of just, like, texting him and letting him know you’re on your way to help him do his shots.
Platonic intimacy is waking him up in the middle of the night because you heard a weird noise outside that you’re about to investigate, and you need moral support and also someone to call an ambulance if you end up having to knife fight a racoon.
Y’all please reblog because this is fucking terrifying. It’s yet another attempt to sabotage any attempt at the poor receiving any kind of health care. God forbid you ever get fired and can’t declare yourself permanently disabled.
Make no mistake: people WILL DIE from this.
Contact your reps however you can. Use Resistbot and more importantly, just spread this shit around because I KNOW there’s a bunch of you on here that are directly affected by this.
Please share far and wide.
It’s murder. Murder by apathy. Murder by politics. Murder by making sick people choose between bankrupting their families or dying to save them from that fate.
There’s a reason why they’re doing this. Why they’re trying to bury the ADA. The ACA. Food stamps. Every social program.
They want to hoard even more money for the rich, for the military industrial complex, for themselves. And they’ll literally kill sick and poor people for that goal. Because we’re nothing to them. We’re not worth a damn thing. If we die? If we go bankrupt? Homeless? Starve? They don’t care. It’s a benefit for their desires to be richer if we’re dead.
This isn’t just politics. This isn’t policy differences. Calling it that santizes and disguises the truth: we, as a people, let other human beings die, starve, go bankrupt and homeless every single day. Those in power are just trying to expand that to more of us now.
If any of y’all think “this is murder” is an exaggeration… Let me paint you a picture.
My clients are all disabled, in some way or another. They all have a serious physical disability, chronic illness, or psychiatric diagnosis that prevents them from working. They are also all homeless. And every single one is on Medicaid.
And, I bet many of you didn’t know, but dictating who gets access to certain kinds of housing (specifically housing for people with serious mental illness- permanent housing) is in part determined by how high your Medicaid usage is.
So, where does this shit leave us? Well, first off, it leaves my clients without any kind of insurance. All of them need medication, all of them go to the doctor and/or hospital frequently. All of them rely on Medicaid. So add a work requirement to Medicaid, and where does that leave people who are physically and mentally incapable of working? Yeah. In the fucking dust.
Now, take away their Medicaid, and their chances of getting into permanent housing drop, too. So not only do they not have the means to get their medications and see their doctors and go to the hospital when they fucking NEED TO, now they no longer qualify for most of the housing that I am trying to get them into. So, they end up back on the street or in dangerous, overcrowded shelters with NO medication, NO doctors, NO hospitals, and almost no fucking chance of getting into housing because they have no Medicaid because they apparently need to work to have Medicaid and they CANNOT. FUCKING. WORK.
SO this is murder. This is murder of people like my clients, who rely on Medicaid and related services. This will be the death of hundreds if not thousands of Americans.
I don’t really have the energy for it, but I looked into things a little.
Kentucky, South Dakota, Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina, Mississippi, Kansas, Indiana, and Arkansas are the 9 states I could find named as seeking the work requirement. [x]
Kentucky passed their requirement the day after the article link at the top of this post, on Jan 12th. [x] Indiana passed their’s on Feb 2nd. [x] Kansas seems to have possibly enacted this sometime late Jan, but could still be in the proposal stage. [x] Virginia is the most recent, in the past few days of late Feb. [x]
This IS happening. It’s not a posturing thing, or a goal they have. They are acting on it NOW.
And if you’re afraid of the power Trump already wields, hear this: if we don’t show up in the midterms, the Republicans could get a supermajority in the Senate. That means no ability to filibuster. No recourse. No way to stop them.
We’ve got to make sure the blue states stay blue and try to turn some of those red states blue as well. Don’t count your state out just because it usually votes Republican. Historically, midterms have way lower turnouts than presidential election years. So lets actually show up this time and do some damage.
Oh, and one hopeful note, all the House seats are up for reelection. So let’s take that shit away from Donald Trump and his Republican Party.
Also, remember to vote in local elections! Keep track of when they are, the candidates, and make sure you stay informed on local and state politics. We have to show up in 2018, and at every. Single. Thing.
I dont like adding things but this needs to be said: DO NOT ASSUME THAT THERE WILL BE A HIGH DEMOCRATIC TURNOUT. Do not think that “oh EVERYONE else will show up to vote, I dont have to” Do not do that. Because trust me you wouldn’t be the only person thinking that. Now, if everyone assumes it’ll be a high turn out so they dont go, then nobody goes. Assume always that your vote will be the tipping point, assume that your vote is necessary and needed (because guess what: it absolutely is). Go vote. Keep track of the dates. And just go do it.
Register to vote. Check that you’re registered even if you think you are, even if you (like me) have voted in every election since you were old enough to do so. And then do it.
If you can, volunteer to drive people to the polls.
All you high schooler turning 18 in time for the election make sure you register to vote!!
Y’all are woke right now and that is so amazing, but you need to keep the momentum going. Real change happens when you show up and help put people into power the will actually make changes.
