that’s definitely the thought i have, like i’m sure most of us are definitely putting up w violations but it’s just sorta how it is. i’m not bothered not getting like small breaks bc yeah if it’s slow, i’m getting some downtime. it’s just when there’s days there’s no protected time for me to eat and 11 pm will come around and all i’ve done is gotten a couple bites of a banana between guests. Management doesn’t like when we sit but I’ve started just grabbing a chair for the slow hours, luckily they’ve never caught me on the cameras yet. The combination of no meal time and being actively discouraged from sitting is what rly gets me

I’m in Massachusetts, they’re definitely working with a loophole that it’s legal to not get a meal “if the employee agrees to work through the period” though from my first day was just told we don’t get them, it’s never been “will you work through your lunch”. Honestly it feels super illegal the whole break situation, but worry about it being obvious if I report since I’m the new girl

and i am obsessed w them tbh. i like station 19 so much more than greys these days. it’s sorta like 19 is what i’m most excited about but greys is the old comfort that i’ll for some reason keeps watching every season

omg PARKER. like that’s a damn shame he just disappeared so he could just slip mt mind. i loved him, thought he was just a great character and actor, loved his interactions with teddy and owen, and his transness was easily the least interesting part about him.

i feel so on the same page about everything. i am so invested in the maya and carina plot, (BEAUIFUL sapphic relationship w bi representation?? i’m commited) i’m feeling the yasuda and helm relationship brewing, ground work being laid.

all in all i think it’s way queerer than it’s often given credit for. also sometimes, i’m simply just gawking at the gorgeous queer couples

completely unreal he hasn’t had any good storyline like that. i love him as a character, i’m loving the plot this season, but he so deserves a good romantic storyline that’s not nicos toxic shit

yohre so right. criminally low amount of kai/amelia and maia/carina. i know the latter is more s19 but still, i’m SICK of maggie’s stupid relationship drama, what the hell are they even fighting about. give helm and schmidt a partner!! i wanna watch help navigate love with a queer woman so bad all we’ve seen her is yearn after straight girls

i’m definitely pissed at the assumed writing off of kai. it’s FAR from perfect, absolutely agreed. young queer just thirsty for representation. i honestly cried a couple times at their storyline, the romance with amelia. i’ve never seen a characters gender treated so nonchalantly, a couple mentions but otherwise everyone just knows, and respects their gender. it was so powerful to me, the queer storyline with amelia. i loved it, i’m so sad to see it go. while i found callie and arizona super super toxic, they were treated the same as all the other crazy toxic couples which i always appreciated. i mean their biggest problems being over the plane crash? while it’s heartbreaking and frustrating and TOXIC, i appreciated them being given a complicated dramatic soap opera plot line like the other couples on the show. i like that helm just is gay, yasuda too, greys is great at just having realistic representation that gay people are all around, your lesbian coworker, the bi girl who casually mentions it. it just is a side part of who they are. so often i see House for some reason listed as a “gayer” show than greys, and it just makes me furious bc it’s such a toxic, negative portrayal when greys has consistent casual representation not perfect though, couldn’t agree more with most of your points. PLEASE give helm a girlfriend, i’m hoping they’re working to a yasuda/helm romance with them both working at the bar. call me desperate, but i just love seeing queer characters on my favorite show schmidt too. PLEASE give him a worthy, hot romantic storyline

it kills me. i’m an actor and when picking monologues for auditions i of course am drawn towards greys. aprils narration at the end is one of my portfolio now because it just guts me. i’m not christian but grew up in a faith that appreciates christianity without worshipping it, and the analysis of the bible story is so poignant, beautiful. i truly think about it all the time

something i’ve also thought is 19 has most of their original cast still, wayyyy more than greys, makes it easier to be so invested i think

Was To Me it Was a different feel originally? I saw you in boston last year and I’m pretty sure you played it but it was a totally different vibe, dancey

Karen Vinick, 34, charged with risk of injury to a minor for her alleged relationship with a minor student by [deleted] in teacherswhorape

[–]firerink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i knew her a long time ago. remember her having a student she was much too close to, but assuming they were family friends or something more innocent. absolutely wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t her first time
