Title: Stick Season

Fandoms: Breakfast with Scot (2007) & Check Please!

Pairings: Ryan Burlington/Scot Latour  Eric McNally/Sam Miller  Eric “Bitty” Bittle/Jack Zimmermann            

***************************************************************************************

Follow Ryan Burlington’s journey from Juniors, to the draft, to the Providence Falconers.

***

 Ryan fucking hated Juniors.

To be fair, he had known he would going into it because he had Eric McNally in his corner telling him how Juniors actually worked instead of the PR song and dance they fed the other guys.

McNally had been upfront. The hockey was great. The hockey was worth it. Everything else? Sucked.

The term and concept of “rent lowering gunshots” has seeped into my mental vocabulary, and I’ve welcomed it there. Something I’m up to is gross and weird? Good, keeps the rent low. Keeps judgy people out. Post weird shit on your blog, do weird shit to your hair, be as fucky as your heart ever wants to be. If you’re not the one making the profit, make yourself unprofitable. The aposematism of brightly coloured creatures is there to warn predators, not friends.

You have no moral obligation to make yourself palatable for those who would consume you.

Jack Seward and Mina Harker stand around the phonograph on Jack's desk. The room is dark and cluttered, with books and cups and medical paraphernalia crowding the shelves, and a window illuminates the figures. Mina is pale but rosy, with dark brown hair. She wears a blouse and dark blue skirt and she holds Jack's arm excitedly. Jack is very pale with lighter brown hair. He is wearing a dark blue waistcoat and a red necktie. He is smiling, showing Mina the phonographALT

actually a really good look at the kind of strength and balance being a fat motherfucker grants you: chunky bro at the start lifted the vacuum like it was nothing because he easily outmasses it and he stays perfectly centered while he waves it around. his center of gravity was low and stable.

gym bro was strong enough to lift the machine easily, but he had to use his hips and shoulders in counterbalance to stay planted, and even then it was a clear effort for him not to be pulled off base. he’s strong enough to lift the machine and throw it around, but his center of gravity is too high to actually wield it effectively.

the uncommon allergy haver to anticapitalist pipeline

in January 2023, companies became required to label sesame on all products it was present in, and undergo rigorous cleaning procedures to prevent sesame contamination, after it was declared the 9th “major” food allergen in the United States.

so, instead of considering this a mandate to give a single shit about people with sesame allergies, almost all American companies decided to just add sesame flour to all their relevant products. because apparently that was cheaper.

it’s almost impossible for me to find hot dog and hamburger buns without sesame now. and I am one of the lucky ones. I’m someone who just so happened to notice the label updates, not get caught unawares and have a severe allergic reaction. I’m someone lucky enough to be surrounded by multiple choices of supermarkets, and someone with the incredible privilege to have parents who’ll help me search the shelves, and cover those costs that my allergies rack up. not everyone with allergies/other intolerances has all or any of those privileges to begin with.

most food allergies will never be prevalent enough that under capitalism, it will be profitable to give them the level of accommodation that they deserve. I speak from experience with a wide portfolio of hypersensitivity quirks when I say that the rarer the food allergy, the worse it gets.

and here’s the thing: I can live without hamburger buns, with only superficial decreases in my quality of life. but sesame isn’t my only rare allergy, and ever since this legislation hit, I’ve been lying awake at night, afraid of what I might lose access to next.

I’ve been lying awake at night wondering what I’ll have to do to live, to obtain enough safe food to survive, if any of my other allergies get this same treatment. and I reiterate. I am one of the privlidged ones.

what these companies have done is completely legal. what these companies did has also cut off up to over a million people from what were previously safe, affordable staples of their diets. a system that has any incentive not to accommodate the dietary needs of any population is not a system that can be allowed to exist. this is the uncommon allergy haver to angry, fuming anticapitalist pipeline.

“also pea protein. mcdicks just added pea protein without any proper warning so if you got a legume allergy, don’t eat their buns.”

“did you know pea protein and pea flour is a thing. i didn’t. but i sure found out quick after i ate frozen nuggets and when i got gravy from a restaurant. now i have to check fucking everything because i’ve also found pea protein in ice cream of all things.” End description.]

thank you @butchwelddone and @insidejupiter respectively for these psas. signal boosting here for all my fellow legume-allergic folks, stay safe (and stay away from McDonalds buns)

I feel like a good shorthand for a lot of economics arguments is “if you want people to work minimum wage jobs in your city, you need to allow minimum wage apartments for them to live in.”

“These jobs are just for teenagers on the weekends.” Okay, so you’ll use minimum wage services only on the weekends and after school. No McDonald’s or Starbucks on your lunch break.

“They can get a roommate.” For a one bedroom? A roommate for a one bedroom? Or a studio? Do you have a roommate to get a middle-wage apartment for your middle-wage job? No? Why should they?

“They can live farther from city center and just commute.” Are there ways for them to commute that don’t equate to that rent? Living in an outer borough might work in NYC, where public transport is a flat rate, but a city in Texas requires a car. Does the money saved in rent equal the money spent on the car loan, the insurance, the gas? Remember, if you want people to take the bus or a bike, the bus needs to be reliable and the bike lanes survivable.

If you want minimum wage workers to be around for you to rely on, then those minimum wage workers need a place to stay.

You either raise the minimum wage, or you drop the rent. There’s only so long you can keep rents high and wages low before your workforce leaves for cheaper pastures.

“Nobody wants to work anymore” doesn’t hold water if the reason nobody applies is because the commute is impossible at the wage you provide.
