God is my witness I initially read this as “TOPS ARE A PRIVILEGE! THEY MUST BE EARNED!” and I thought that was a tad presumptuous of an employer.
Hey hey this is *SUPER* illegal in the United States holy cow.
If you are in this country and took the job, which I hope you didn’t, now is definitely the time to look into a pro-bono labour rights lawyer. You’re definitely eligible for back pay of any tips withheld and probably more. If you’re in any progressive state there’s a good chance your rights go beyond this. Regardless, federal regulations:
On a personal note I am seeing red over the situation. Fuck them for the audacity to pull this shit. Fuck them for being manipulative, abusive bosses.
I shudder to imagine the culture there.

PSA FOR ALL INCOMING COLLEGE STUDENTS
Please, for the love of Prime, put the slightest bit of thought into the email address you use when applying to college. You need to switch gears between education you have to go through to education that will lead to a career. Consider that your professors, your advisors, your financial aid assistants, anybody at the college may at one point need to reach out to your personal email. Don’t assume everyone will rely on your student email, we all know you don’t read that shit.
If you don’t have a generic contact email that you wouldn’t be afraid of your grandma seeing, make one. As you do so, please consider:
- Don’t have anything sexual in your email address. I mean it. All those 69s and clever wordplays aren’t so funny when you have to read them over the phone to me to confirm your ID. Also I know what goatse is, you twits, I’ve been on the internet longer than you.
- Don’t use your gamertag as an email address. Or your reddit name, or your AO3 ID, etc. It’s basic CYA to keep your online life and your real one separate. As silly as that seems, you really don’t need someone in your engineering class finding those Homestuck fics you wrote when you were fifteen because your professor forgot to use BCC to hide your email. Protect yourself.
- Don’t use your birth year in your email. This is less of a professional problem then it is a basic security issue. You’re giving away personal information that could be used to compromise your online accounts every time you email someone. Play it smart and use a random number.
- If it will embarrass you to read it out load to someone, rethink using it for school. If your name is “Matt Smith” and your email is some sort of play on the 11th Doctor, you’re probably fine. If your email is 11thDocsLoveSlave, please… Spare us both. I promise you it’s not worth having to look me in the eye as you tell it to me.
- Don’t use your high school email. You no longer have access to that when you graduate from high school. We cannot contact you with an email you can’t access. Don’t shoot yourself in the foot on the way out the door.
Listen, as someone with a really awkward personal email that I’ve been meaning to change for years, I have been there. Save yourself and get an email you wouldn’t mind your professor, your boss, or your mom knowing about.
Hot off the presses, but uh if you do have an email you use for school/work/semi-professional reasons, make sure it has an appropriate name attached to it or that you identify yourself within the email for clarify.
This update brought to you by the extremely awkward phone conversation I just had with “Evil Morty.”

everyone’s saying it but yeah the new tumblr desktop layout is complete garbage lmao
yknow what i really can’t fucking stand. how every social media now feels like it’s designed for mobile first but then subsequently there is NO design for desktop and they just kinda slap a mobile interface onto a widescreen canvas and fill it with a solid color. like why is what feels like 60% of my dashboard just negative space on a 16:9 monitor. the entire thing is so fucking claustrophobic and just bunched together. use the space!!!! why are the timeline switcher tabs at the top of the screen getting cut off!!! you could fit all of them!!!
LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE
zooming in to like 110% makes it a LITTLE better but it’s still way too much empty space on the sides that could be used so much more meaningfully, and then going any further than that just starts to literally cut off the content i actually want to see, like at a certain point in order to cut down on negative space i can only fit half of a post on screen if it’s long enough. on a 4K monitor. i don’t understand why so much modern website design conflates “compact” with “efficient”. they are not mutually exclusive but they’re also not synonyms!!! 16:9 will not hurt you!!!! some of my favorite stuff is in 16:9! like psychonauts 2! everyone wants to be psychonauts 2! what are you afraid of!!!
