I go to use the elevator in a high rise building only to find a sign that says “Please ask security for access to this elevator”. A week ago, that sign wasn’t there. When I ask the security guard why the sudden change in policy, they said that people from other floors in the building had been abusing their access to the elevator and that they needed to lock it down.
Let me make this perfectly clear: I could no longer independently access the only elevator available to take me to this part of the building because other people decided to use / abuse a space that was not meant for them instead of taking the stairs right next to the fucking elevator.
Here’s another example: In order to have access to an accessible room on a cruise ship, I have to submit a form stating that I do in fact have a physical disability that prevents me from using a normal state room on the ship. I have to do this because able-bodied people have, in the past, been dishonest about the level of accessibility they require in order to have access to a larger stateroom without having to pay a premium.
How about this one: I go into the restroom of a massive convention center. Every single stall in this restroom is empty except for the one handicapped stall in the back, which is being occupied by someone who does not need to use a handicapped stall. I now have to wait for that one person to exit the stall before I can use the restroom. Remember: This bathroom has 7+ other stalls that are built specifically to work for them, but they chose to use the one space that is available to people like me.
Dear able-bodied people: Handicapped bathroom stalls, seating areas, staterooms, and elevators are not meant for you and you should not use them.
I do not care how big of a hurry you were in and how that elevator got you to where you needed to go faster. Because of you, I have to go find someone every time I need to use this elevator and if I can’t find them I GET NOTHING.
To you, that cruise ship can house 2000+ people and you have an opportunity to get a massive stateroom at no extra cost if you’re wiling to fib a little. To me, that cruise ship has a capacity of around 12 (the number of accessible rooms on the ship) and if they’re all full, I GET NOTHING.
To you, that movie theater has four really great seats right in the middle that just happen to have a handicapped accessible sign on them. To me, that theater has four seats and if they’re all full, I GET NOTHING.
And let me address the bathroom thing in particular. I don’t give a flying fuck if the handicapped stall was the only one available. You should pretend like it doesn’t fucking exist and wait in line like everyone else. *
Don’t take up spaces that were not meant for you. Because everything but those few precious spaces were not meant for us.
* Unless it’s literally the only stall in the bathroom or you’re about to absolutely shit yourself. Then it’s fine.
Idk if anyone has posted this yet but I thought I’d pass on Tom’s message about Spotify :)

ICYMI: During the fifth inning of a World Series game this weekend, activists unfurled a giant trans pride flag bearing the words “TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE TO LIVE” in the middle of the crowd. The group TransLatin@ Coalition was behind the flag, citing protests of Trump’s newest proposal to erase trans people; activists Maria Roman and Bamby Salcedo filmed themselves draping it in the stadium, where it stayed for several minutes. YES. (via PinkNews)
Society raises robots
Boys are taught that they can’t cry nor show emotion, taught that they can’t be human.
Girls are taught to hide their emotions, lest they be asked “are you on your period”, taught that it’s shows that you are weak.
Society is huge on double standards
‘Boys must be over 6ft, and have muscles"
‘Why are girls so self conscious?’
If you hate yourself, you must be fishing for compliments.
If you love yourself, you must be narcissistic.
Society has an obsession with victim blaming and ignoring the true problem
‘Boys can’t be the victim of rape because they always want sex’
'All men are trash’
'She was obviously asking for it’
'Well what were you wearing?’
As if you could blame an entire gender on the actions of a few
As if the amount of skin you show determines your ability to consent and say NO
We are supposed to be able to think, we are not savages and should be able to understand that an absent of a YES means NO.
What was the point of this mini rant?
To call society out on it’s bullshit! and to rant because of frustrations
The point is we are not robots and have the right to emotions, we have the right to love ourselves because a bit of body positivity never hurt nobody, and IT IS NEVER THE VICTIMS FAULT why is it so hard to understand that?
Alright, I'm finally starting to make these for the longforms! These are gonna be quite a bit longer than the other two I've made, since these videos are (typically) longer and I have a lot of thoughts about them lol (edit while writing, less than halfway through the video - yeah, I have way more to say than I thought I would)
Before I even get into the video itself, I just love the bold move of having their first Youtube longform be one about nazis, let's people know the kind of humor they'll be getting from these guys lmao
Also shout out to the not insignificant number of people who fully didn't recognize AJ with hair
Luke's executive decision to grab a prop gun and just stand there like 🧍🏼
"If he was only a foot and a half taller, he would be a perfect nazi!" Still one of my favorite Luke short jokes, because if I was him I genuinely wouldn't know how to take that observation-
Not sure why Sam chose the puffy purple jacket for his villain character, but at least we get to call him Ze Blackberry now
I'd like to imagine as Sam was introducing himself, he looked over to Luke like 'oh shit right, he's still just fucking standing there, I should probably include him somehow' and to Sam that ofc meant flirting with him
Which btw is the strangest flirting attempt I've ever seen- "Beautiful little pocket-sized Aryan" and "Sexy little ferret" ?? Guys I've never flirted with anyone but I don't think he's doing it right
"Guten Abend" Luke/Hans isn't good at this flirting thing either, but at least they're both having fun
Two French brothers casually parachuting over Berlin during World War II, nothing weird about that
"Ja- yes- er, oui! I'm trilingual, I'm sorry" Idk if it's the language confusion or the fact he apologized to the nazi, but this was a great line
"The plan is working perfectly, we're making them uncomfortable. Keep it up!" Luke, who has done very little in that regard except respond to Sam: "Okay!!" *just keeps standing there*
"Hard day being a nazi?" Considering you're currently giving him a backrub and are probably about to fuck him, I'd say he's having a pretty good day
Before Luke's BAFTA winning portrayals of grief in The Evil Make-A-Wish Kid and The Grape Depression, we had AJ's sobbing in OMGITAJ
So glad this play was set mainly in France so AJ could show off his French knowledge in the best ways (skipping across the stage and singing)
Sam characteristically entering briefly as an unspecified beast that for simplicity I'm going to call a ram
Genuinely one of my favorite and most underappreciated moments in the video is Katherine assigning Luke's character a feminine name, which he clearly didn't expect, and he just takes a moment to reevaluate life, while staring at the comedically placed banana in his hand. 10/10 fantastic bit
"My husband has been captured" "You know this for sure?" "Well he didn't come home and he's a French spy so" Fair logic that was 100% correct
"I already have a husband" "Well Xavier will have to wait until he's officially dead then" rip Jean-Luc man, at least Sarah seems to genuinely love him and be loyal though, good for them
Tag yourself, I'm AJ fangirling heavy over Xavier as he walks onstage
"I could have mimed it but I did not" has and forever will live in my brain rent free, bro had no reason to do that but took the fucking opportunity
Also Sarah's friend (did she ever get a name?) is simping for Xavier more than Sarah herself, they could've just fucked instead
"I don't know the French word for mice" "C'est une souris, une souris, une souris" French lessons with AJ
I've already made a whole post about my love for pre-reveal Xavier, but jesus, can you blame me? This character is the actual reason I started being attracted to Tom in the first place, why is he so SMOOTH-
Also the fact Luke didn't even flinch when Tom tilted his chair back and just nonchalantly crossed his legs- This whole scene is perfect istg
"I'm just going to take a few pictures-" That's so real of you girl
"I am a man" Gonna start saying this in front of the mirror as affirmations in the morning, same tone and everything
Tom launching himself across the stage before he even has the chance to rebutton his shirt lol
"Look out! It's the nazi-looking guy!" Saying this about the actual nazi is so funny
Not me being genuinely kinda sad about François getting killed
Katherine getting into Sam's carriage with a pumpkin (For some reason??) and Sam pausing not once, but twice, and eventually deciding to proceed as normal and not question it
Jean-Luc: *crying because trauma* Katherine: "Aw.. If you're thirsty you could drink it!" Katherine might've earned her place as my favorite 5th SFTH member they've had
Big Hans showing up with an entirely different vibe from the last time we saw him- Maybe because he's not busy being gay with Ze Blackberry
But really, why is this nazi boy so excited about the french language while he's taking over their country
"Les coqs :D" Sir what is this energy you're putting out, it's confusing me
I like that instead of just saying something like "It's a French horse, why do I care if I kicked it" he's just like "German horses wouldn't give a shit, your horses are just weak"
"Very hairy chickens you have here" A joke they couldn't have made now-
I'd just like to point out that Big Hans didn't get shot from what I could tell, so he could technically still be alive. Idk what to do with that information, I just wanted it out there
Tom pulling his classic sexy-character move: Foot dramatically placed on chair
The cleaner just being like "what a fucking mess, god I hate my job" as if Xavier and Sarah aren't currently having a whole plot-altering revelation in the same room
Oh yeah, and this is also the moment I was very relieved Sarah was a better person than me (/hj) and didn't sleep with Xavier
Also, mostly unrelated, but Katherine's voice specifically as the cleaner reminds me of DHMIS every single time and idk why
"Are you quite finished??" "... Honestly, no"
"But who would do that? Who would do- It was me" He tried to be mysterious but Xavier really wanted credit for what he did
Sam the Ram returns! Very cool that their first video had classics of all kinds: Sam being a chaotic animal, AJ getting to be French, Tom being a sexy German, and Luke being an equally-attractive-but-not-quite-as-played-up woman
"I was tortured by two men gettig with each other next to me" "They're always doing that, the nazis" If SFTH can make nazis gay af, they truly can do anything
Why does Ram-Sam look so offended on behalf of the French after Luke's "It's in my nature" line lmaoo
"Where did you get my dildo!?" Amazing line from Luke, but really what was that thing??
And ofc Xavier dies as he lived.. Shirtless. Sexy evil bastard-
SFTH Google Document
So, for the last month and a bit I have been working on a google Document full of just Shoot From The Hip information: Character Lists, long form lists, specials, etc... I started this before the Fandom wiki was more fleshed out but I figured I would still put it on here for anyone interested. It does include Patreon exclusive content but nothing is linked (if something is linked please let me know). Suggestions are welcome, it is still in progress so its not perfect.

A guard on the ground between them groaned, and in a flash, Ana drew her sidearm and fired a sleep dart into his neck.
“You missed one,” Ana said.
