yeah seriously tell us how wizardry’s done in the new world tell me how the wizards from france and spain and britain stamped out the brujos and the medicine men and set up their own schools tell me what the fuck the british raj did to fucking india because the patel twins are going to school in scotland and what are they told about their history, tell me about native american kids learning to say wingardium leviosa with hate in their hearts and tell me about wizarding rabbis bickering about whether you can use potions on the sabbath tell me about the slaves on their ships with their wands broken, mouthing curses in the dark tell me about the runaways that made it with garter snakes wrapped around their wrists that told them when they tasted dogs in the distance, tell me about the underground railroad and abolitionists with unbreakable vows and home-spun invisibility cloaks and disilusionments, using obliviate, using imperio, knowing that they served a higher justice, tell me about what happened to black wizards in the fifties, about what gates they were storming in the sixties tell me about queer wizards taking love potions every morning in their coffee to stay married to their husbands and their wives because what else could they do?
the world only begins and ends with straight white christians if you don’t bother looking any farther than that and too many people don’t and i am tired, tired, tired

Here’s a question that no one ever has a good answer for: why are cashiers forced to stand? Who decided people need to stand for 4 hours straight between breaks when they don’t MOVE?
Would it really hurt if they had, at least, a stool?
According to the owner of the drugstore I worked at for two summers in college, cashiers sitting on a stool doesn’t look professional.
I mean, you know, we were college students and high school seniors and middle-aged adults who were wearing clean T-shirts or polo shirts and shorts or jeans, but standing up for four+ hours made us look professional somehow.
… pardon me while I fume
Yup.
Customers threw the biggest shit fit when one of the cashiers was sitting on a chair behind the register (because she just had knee surgery, and wanted to get out of the house/make money), BECAUSE IT DIDN’T LOOK PROFESSIONAL
