I saw this photoset and got to the gif of Caroline looking blank and thought to myself “Get rekt, Caroline” and then scrolled down and saw the last one and YELLED
context for the joke: upton sinclair’s the jungle is a book from 1906 about the meatpacking industry both about the working conditions and how unsanitary it was. it led to numerous laws about federal oversight on the meatpacking industry (specifically inspection) during what was known as the progressive era.
Time to stop buying any and all pork products until this is fixed.
Spread it around. PORK BOYCOTT. Bacon isn’t worth debilitating sicknesses that you’re likely to catch now that standards are going to be lowered in the industry in order to save money.
Double checked this and it’s legit. I’d be really cautious about pork from here on out y’all.
Also his trade war with China means we have a surplus of pork in the US market right now. They’re wanting a way to quickly offload excess slaughtered meat.
The character Harry potter is 36. People who are 32 were in the exact age range to match Harry as the books were being published, they probably grew up with it and it was probably important to them if they’re still talking about their Hogwarts house. Being an adult doesn’t have to be a joyless slog of work and taxes, you’re allowed to continue enjoying your childhood interests, and playing make believe as an adult is a perfectly respectable pastime.
*banging pots and pans together*
People are allowed to enjoy things! People are allowed to critically engage in problematic content! People are allowed to be nostalgic for their childhood joys! It costs you $0 to not be a dick!
I mean, I know where a lot of our middle-aged-and-up neighbors went to college, not because I’ve talked to them (ha!) but because they have car decals and license plate frames and yard flags and T-shirts of said colleges, so “continuing to strongly identify with a thing you connected to as a kid” isn’t even limited to fandom
HARRY POTTER WAS CREATED BY AN ADULT.
TOYS ARE MADE BY ADULTS.
KID’S MOVIES AND SHOWS ARE MADE BY ADULTS.
If people stopped liking things as they got older, things wouldn’t exist for the kids, ffs.
Friendly reminder that under Trump, multiple food safety regulations have been removed or relaxed so that corporations like these can cut corners and increase profits by putting both customers and employees at risk of harm. Especially the poor, which have always been considered an expendable resource by capitalists anyway.
GOD FUCKIG DAMNIT I EAT AT HALF OF THESE PLACES!!!
Oh no and it’s all places millennials are blamed for possibly “killing”. Good, I hope your hate food fails.
Signed, an older millennial who doesn’t frequent these brands anyway.
I have a feeling that your worries aren’t all the faeries would take away
well, it’s not wrong. once the fairies take you you stop worrying about what you used to worry about. granted, you start worrying about the fact that you’ve just been turned into a deer and are being chased by the wild hunt, but you know. not technically a lie.
A tree with a diamond on it is an Elven symbol if I remember correctly - meant to draw prosperity and energy inward.
So it’s either a fae trap or an Elven joke about fairies wanting garbage….either way I won’t be touching it.
