If anyone has taken their eyes off what’s happening to federal workers in the US right now, here’s some highlights that we’re hearing from our comrades across the government who have not yet been fired:

• In one building (hosting multiple agencies), the locks on the bathroom were changed so employees no longer have any access to a bathroom during the workday. People are peeing in trash cans.
• Elsewhere, multiple agencies have reported that hand soap is no longer being supplied in the bathrooms.
• Toilet paper supplies have not been adjusted to meet the needs of a vastly increased number of in-office employees.
• Employee-owned coffee and coffee makers have been stolen or thrown away without notice (it was already illegal for taxpayer dollars to be spent on supplying federal employees with amenities like coffee, so many offices have coffee supplied by pooled employee funds).
• Meanwhile, many offices don’t even have potable drinking water (recurrent legionella outbreaks), so employees have to bring their own water from home.
• Despite an explosion in the number of workers in offices, cleaning budgets have been slashed and many offices are not being cleaned regularly enough to remain sanitary. Pests like roaches and rats are a problem.
• The firings continue, legal and illegal. Entire programs are being cut. Managers have no idea when they might lose staff. Employees are getting fired at 6pm on a weekend or finding out when they’re unable to log into their computer or when they receive a shipping label in the mail to return their equipment.
• Through all of this, the DOGE employees in federal workplaces are enjoying incredible and expensive luxury: AI-powered sleep pods, entire dormitories so they can live in federal buildings, nurseries for their children on site, free food and beverages, laundry services, and who knows what else. They have special security to restrict access to their areas of the buildings, including armed guards.

And I’m not just saying this to lament how bad it is for federal workers. I’m saying this because, as workers are reporting this to one another, the response is, inevitably: “This is illegal.” “Yes, but who would I report it to? OPM? They’re a DOGE puppet. OSHA? They’ve cut OSHA. The Inspectors General? Cut. The NLRB? Cut. My union? No longer recognized.”

There is no one left to enforce these laws, so taking away access to basic sanitation is now effectively legal. They are doing this to federal workers, who historically have been some of the best-protected workers in the country. They are doing this specifically because it demonstrates to the public sector that it is now legal to do these things to their own workers.

I’m lucky enough to be a field worker and thus haven’t been hit by the office nightmares, but I won’t get to find out if I keep my job or not until May. My agency has a four year probationary period (yes really) and I was juuusssst about to get confirmed and start collecting benefits before this all went down. Now, I’ll be lucky if I’m still working in a month’s time.

I left the private sector to escape this bullshit.

the last thing i’ll say about Dean Voice. is that Cas Voice was a conscious choice made from misha collins’ very first episode. like he picked that voice for cas from the beginning and stuck to it and switched to distinctly different voices when he was playing a non-cas character so it’s just like at the heart of who cas IS. whereas Dean Voice is like….. he CHOSE to do that. no one’s voice breaks at age 29. meaning it GLARINGLY begs an in-universe diegetic explanation for the conscious emergence OF dean voice. fellas are you ever kinda butch and do people probably think you’re overcompensating. does that ever compel you to butch it up ever more fervently as you travel the road so far. like Dean Voice is the key that will crack this thing (bisexual closetry) wide open gnight

Vibrating out of my fucking skin with an idea rn

So ya’ll remember when I went on a rant about what kind of Uni Professor Castiel would be?

I need ya’ll to hear me out again:

Dean, a firefighter, has been trying to score a date with Sam’s Quantum Physics professor for MONTHS

The reason? When an earthquake hit the university, causing a building collapse, Dean, as a first responder, was there to witness Castiel saving his brother’s life

He came into the half-collapsed building to find this professor somehow holding up a large slab of wall all on his own, using some kind of physics-based contraption he clearly cobbled together in the heat of the moment. Sam knocked out underneath it, the only thing stopping him from getting crushed to death was Castiel

At first, Dean just wanted to formally thank the man for saving his brother. Then he witnesses Castiel actually giving his lecture and falls in love with the crazy passion the man has

Like, CRAZY passion. Castiel gives his lectures like he’s giving a sermon to the faithless. Like every word coming out of his mouth was a frantic babble of shit Dean could barely understand. He talks like it’s the word of God and he’s pissed off that he was the chosen one to speak His truth. Sammy even tells Dean that Professor Castiel (Last name unknown, and he keeps it that way) may have a God Complex that’s actively ruining his life

And Dean can’t help but be drawn to that passion. Castiel wasn’t putting on an act. It was raw. He wore a trench coat that was too big for him, his suit looked like it was never ironed, and Dean was sure the man didn’t know how to tie a tie. He looked crazed, constantly. And he was GOOD at his job, at least that’s what Sam tells Dean, since every student in Castiel’s class has passed with flying colors

Castiel was also very open about his indifference to gender and sexuality after a student commended, “No wonder you can’t get a girlfriend”. Which is great for Dean cause it means he’s on the market

Bad news is that Castiel keeps dodging every shot Dean shoots at him. Like, at first, Dean thought it was just Castiel not knowing Dean was flirting with him, which Dean thought he could work with

Then, on attempt number 7, when Dean ran into Cas at a grocery store, did it really sink in

“Mr. Winchester, I understand you are infatuated with me for reasons I don’t understand, but I am married to my job. I would rather set myself on fire than do anything that takes time away from what I love. Please leave me alone.”

And yeah, that fucking hurt, so Dean stops trying

A month later, Dean goes to pick up Sam from Uni since his car broke down and Dean had a day off. He walks into Castiel’s classroom because that’s where Sam told him to wait (his stuff was there) and was lucky to find it empty.

Dean gets bored after 2 minutes of just sitting and decides to check out the weird numbers and symbols on the whiteboard, along with what looked like a conspiracy corkboard next to it. He thinks it’s probably a lecture and is surprised to find he kinda understands parts of it in his own way

He notices a mistake in the numbers and, thinking it wasn’t a big deal, grabs a marker and makes a quick correction

Then the door opens and Prof Castiel is there, looking frazzled and utterly pissed off to high heavens. Castiel sees Dean messing with his thesis and is about to tell him off when he actually takes a second to look at what Dean did

Dean’s apologizing, babbling on about not knowing what it was for and that he’ll write it back to before

Then Castiel says, “… you solved it”

“I- What?”

“You solved my equation.”

“Uh yeah, man. Saw some numbers in the wrong place and just-”

“How?”

And Dean thinks he’s about to get kicked out, “I don’t know.. kinda just.. I understood it.”

“You understood… my work”

“yeah..?”

The next thing Dean knows, he’s sitting in Castiel’s chair with a lap full of crazy professor. Castiel has his shirt gripped tight, practically choking him, while staring Dean down with the biggest crazed blue eyes you ever did see

Dean starts fearing for his life

But then Castiel says, “Date me,” like it was a demand, not a suggestion

And Dean has no fucking idea what to do with himself

——-

Anyways bye bye

I haven’t drawn Cas as disheveled as I wish. I love all of your ideas, but this one is very important to me and I don’t know why.

I want Cas to sleep so little and fall in love with Dean’s horrible coffee machine, I want him to perform tests on this love sick man, I need him to “forget” his lunch so he can infodump on the only man that understands him. I don’t know whether Cas would be an angel or not, but in either scenario, his craze is justified.

I want Dean to be seen as incredibly indulgent, but he just doesn’t see that Cas is crazy. It’s: “Look, here’s my perfectly normal boyfriend! [Cue a madman clobbering together ideas for the most horrifying theories in a cute bee notebook] I bought him that notebook because he loves bees!”

I can see Cas working and Dean getting him through it, making him coffee, carrying Cas to bed when he passes out on his desk, and giving insight. But when Cas talks about how thankful he is for Dean’s help, Cas is shot down with a, “oh, no, don’t worry. I’m just a dumb guy and I barely helped at all :)” from Dean. Cas is not too upset with Dean’s levels of understanding, but he will get pissed when Dean exercises his poor excuse for a self-esteem.

I can see Cas having the worst declarations of love, I’m not too sure what that would entail, but maybe his first I love you is shouted across the classroom, mid-lecture, after Dean drops off his lunch. Or over call (to the fire station of course), Cas takes great care to describe how his body feels when Dean smiles at him.

This is so very important to me I fucking LOVE it

I can’t take how casually Jensen and Misha talk about the tapes, season 16 and their interactions on the boys as if we’re not still here chomping at the bit for a scrap, nay, a crumb of destiel validation.

Jensen is like “I guess I could show the tapes, I’d have to go back and find them” like he forgot all about it. I hate him.

so do we think jensen is still winking and blowing kisses and whispering “hey big boy” to misha to make him break character while the camera is on him

What’s wrong sweetie?

You’ve barely touched your Cas and Dean full penetration

castielssuperhell:

everything is right in the world (misha collins said something deeply, deeply insane)

dokidango:

Jensen Ackles really said “no Dean can’t say I love you, it’s too gay” just to turn around and say “I need you”. Yeah sure king, that’s definitely not a very queer thing to say. Very heterosexual.
