All of these half-breed northern soldiers are played by white actors in makeup!

目 TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsk... • 2h • Joined May '23 Huh. The film's treatment of Lincoln is surprisingly sympathetic. I think I can see what Griffith was going for, but some of the choices he made really detract from the more nuanced ideas he wanted to put across (why do the black characters speak like that?) 031 04 TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsky.social • Joined May '23 THAT'S NOT A TRIAL!

Gas is $5.39 by my house. I think I'm going to take out a loan and light myself on fire.

Why the hell would I prompt that

Can someone translate these prices to Californian??

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.

In all seriousness I am very happy to be trusted with this. I don't even have a BS in bio but my PIs and coworkers believe in me because I've capably learned everything I've been trained to do and they know I can do THIS because I've shown I'm very good with sterile work!

My boss was like "During your internship didn't you say you were interested in forestry??"

Yes, thanks for remembering, but I imagined myself out in the woods harnessed to a redwood tree hundreds of feet in the air. Surprised to find my botany career involves baby plant cells.

My boss asked if I have time to take on new projects and she wants me to start taking on a complicated and delicate plant cell project. She says not only does just one person in the lab have this skill, but very few plant scientists can do it in general.

I will add that I recently went to buy tights from there for the first time in over a decade and couldn't remember my password. When I clicked "forgot my password" the site didn't send me an email to reset my password, it just emailed my actual password to me.

She asked if I'm 9-5 and I said I don't really have a schedule, they just let me do whatever I want.

There was only one cashier on duty, a man chatting very loudly with a customer who said it was great to see him back. He explained to someone else that he is retired and only allowed to work three days a week now, but he loves doing it because he gets to see his old customers.

I went to a grocery store that has done away with almost all their old checkout lanes. An old man was buying just one item, a bag of dark chocolate peanut clusters, at self-checkout. His total was under $5. He paid with a $20 bill and the machine started spitting out coins.

Going for an eye appointment with my old boss who made me want to die. When she asks about my new job should I tell her they let me fuck around on my phone as much as I want?

I genuinely didn't think the day would come.

There was a slug on me. I don't know why there was a slug on me. I don't know how there was a slug on me. I have a phobia of slugs. I don't want to touch a slug. I flung it off and now I feel disgusted I touched a slug, but also horrible that I may have hurt the slug?

Baffling behavior I repeatedly see at work is people walking up to a door like they're going to badge in and then pulling out their phone and looking at it. This is a problem because I am also walking up to the door and I can't badge in because they're blocking the card reader.
