Everyone going shopping on Black Friday, be aware of three things:
The retail workers are working 12 hours shifts. We are threatened with losing our jobs if we don’t show up unless we’re dying in the hospital. I had an assistant manager show up with fucking strep because he would’ve been fired otherwise. Yes, he did infect 7 and hospitalize 2 coworkers; who knows how many members of the public he infected.
The stores have, maybe, 5 of that special cheap thing you’re after. Corporate does this on purpose, and stores are not allowed to order enough. The prices aren’t even that much lower. They lie about how expensive something is to fool you into thinking you’re getting a discount. You aren’t.
Most of the workers you will come across will be new hires for the sole purpose of being bodies for about three months before they’re fired. They actually don’t know anything because they’ve been working there for maybe two weeks, and have had no real training. I was once hired at Staples a week before Black Friday and expected to know how to deal with phones, coupons, the online ordering site, and AS400 after five 6-hour shifts. This is the kind of person you will likely be dealing with at Black Friday.
Do me and my retail family a favor and don’t shop Black Friday. Any company that needs a sale day like Black Friday to get their sales out of the red doesn’t deserve to be in business.
This also goes for anyone that works shipment too. We’re suddenly expected to stay as late as they want you to even if they know you don’t have a car and rely on a ride to get you to and from work and know you can’t stay late. Shipment workers will suddenly start getting berated for not getting things done and it is by far the most stressful time to be a shipment worker for any store. Especially when they throw in new hires that don’t know how to process things and are expected to work at the same pace as the people that have worked there for a while.
Retail is shit around the holidays, especially Black Friday

So I bought a tablet back in February but unfortunately, I’ve had no idea to actually use it and I’m starting another job soon so I’ll really have no time. I figured someone else could use it instead of it laying around in my room unused for months!

Taking a very quick look at Neil Christopher, that book seems solid. He lives in Nunavut and works very closely with Inuit communities, and it’s even featured on an Inuit website of resources as a good one.
I would suggest browsing other books on that same site, considering it would appear to be one of the most visible resources of educational material (and, bonus, they preserve Inuit orthography as well). It might not be exactly what you’re looking for (considering there seems to be a high focus on preserving the language, which might make it difficult for readers who aren’t fluent.
You can also check out Inhabit Media’s books; they’re an Inuit-owned publishing company to focus on Inuit art and culture. You can also check out Strong Nations, another Indigenous-owned publishing company that might have some Inuit resources, although it’s not Inuit-focused.
The holiday season is coming up and if you’re being rude to a retail worker while they’re pulling off a 12+ hour shift cause it’s a holiday, you’re going directly to hell and i’m sending you there myself.
It doesnt even have to be a 12+ hour shift. If you’re rude at all during the holiday season, you’re going straight to hell.
Y’all know free condoms is a result of gay activists who worked towards safer sex practices after the AIDS crisis right? Because if not it’s one google search away
I met Seth Everman at a con of some kind, and he came up to me and asked me if I was cosplaying as him bc I was wearing his iconic sweater and sunglasses. I said no and pulled out a furless cat out of my bag that was wearing a tiny Seth Everman hoodie and mini sunglasses, then said, “THIS is Seth Everman.” I put the cat down in front of him and gave it a tiny piano and it started playing it really well and Seth looked so impressed that I started crying.
self care is watching those all gameplay & cutscenes videogame compilations on youtube in order to simulate the experience of playing games you dont have the money for
