I work nights and often think of this.
While you sleep, I make sure the things you buy can reach you. And while I sleep, you make the purchases that keep me in a job.
‘River of Fish’ stair runner by The Rug Company. Designed by Barber & Osgerby.
This is at the Atlanta Botanical Garden!
The fish are clearly swimming upstream, so I hope to jeebus there is a large area rug with a bear design on it at the top of those stairs.
This is the legality that always gets me: A deceased person cannot be forced to use their organs to save someone’s life. It’s sacred body autonomy. The federal government now says a woman must use her organs to support potential life. Women have fewer rights than dead bodies.

Hairdresser: We’re going to have to use a color remover to take out the blue pigment, then apply more pigment to allow for the proteins in the hair to adhere to it. Then possibly mix three different types of toners to reach the goal of your natural hair color.
Hairdresser: pretty simple
Me: this is chemistry
Hairdresser: yeah, but people don’t like when we talk that way
Hairdresser: so you’re a mortician?
Me: apprentice
Hairdresser: do you know why formaldehyde is used in clothing?
Me: I didn’t know that was a thing
Hairdresser: I think it’s due to the preserving qualities? But I don’t think that’s right.
Me: It’s not just a preservative, it’s also a disinfectant ‘cause it destroys bacteria as well as their food supply. It’s also a dehydrator.
Hairdresser: why not just use alcohol?
Me: good question. Formaldehyde is super cheap, so probably to cut costs
Hairdresser: is it really a carcinogen?
Me: yeah, I’m going to have so much cancer
Hairdresser: so you’re going natural to work at a funeral home?
Me: yeah
Hairdresser: while still in school?
Me: well we work in the funeral homes so we have uuuuh … experience with cases
Hairdresser: you can just say bodies it’s fine
Me: oh thank god
Five Minutes Later
Me: yeah so we don’t do autopsies it’s one of my pet peeves
Hairdresser: what if someone wakes up while you’re embalming them?
Me: there’s a huge difference between a living body and a dead one
second hairdresser: I think we should add more toner, but yeah I think rigor mortis would make it pretty obvious
Me: that and being in a fridge for a few days you will be dead by the time you get to us
Hairdresser: I think pumping them full of a carcinogen would help with that
your hair is going to look incredible
I told my friend I wanted to get back with my ex a couple years ago and she told me “like a dog to it’s own vomit 😔” and theres still a patch in my scalp
this post literally grabbed hold of my bones and shook them inside my body
trying to have the same mindset as “just cut your hair, it’ll grow back” when making decisions. they’re not all make or break.
but if I don’t order the correct sandwich at this coffee shop my life will be destroyed
buy every sandwich just in case
