if BJ is allowed to fully face the wall, this household will become Irrevocably Cursed
containment procedures
Item Number: SCP-BJ-J “Banana Jim”
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-BJ-J is to be kept on top of the microwave in the Site-19 break room. Any bananas found on top of the microwave are to be removed and placed in the fruit bowl nearby. All personnel onsite are to rotate SCP-BJ-J to face away from the wall after every use of the microwave. SCP-BJ-J is not to be removed from its place on top of the microwave, unless it os being used to perform tests. If SCP-BJ-J is found to be completely facing the wall, on-site security is to be notified, and SCP-BJ-J is to be moved to a new building temporarily.
Description: SCP-BJ-J is a small wooden figure of a cat, recovered from a house in █████. When placed on top of a standard microwave oven, it will rotate slightly every time the microwave is operated, turning slowly to face the wall behind the microwave. If it is allowed to rotate this far, the building it is in will begin to experience SCP-BJ-J’s anomalous effect, in which foods inside of the affected building (now designated SCP-BJ-J-1) will spoil remarkably quickly, at roughly the same speed as a common banana, regardless of ingredients or chemical composure. If SCP-BJ-J is allowed to face the wall for approximately two consecutive days, the effect on SCP-BJ-J-1 will begin to worsen, with the accelerated deterioration beginning to apply to non-edible objects, including parts of the building itself. If SCP-BJ-J is not placed on top of a microwave for a period exceeding twenty-four hours, its anomalous effect will immediately activate on the building or container it is in. Additionally, if SCP-BJ-J is successfully kept from facing the wall, it will seem to spontaneously generate perfectly ripe bananas on top of the microwave with it when it is not being observed.
Addendum 1: Why bananas? Why does a little wooden cat care about bananas so much? -Dr. ████
I think about banana jim every day
I’m sorry, Grimalkin (pictured below) broke Banana Jim in the early morning for reasons unknown. shortly afterward the microwave stopped working
now we have Nameless Adam, on microwave 2. he is hopelessly bleak
Now what would happen if a homeless quilt was made by someone who actually cared about homeless people?
Meet former ad designer Willie Baronet.
Baronet is an artist who talks to homeless people and buys their signs from them for $20 a pop, if they’re willing to sell. He uses the signs in art exhibits to educate the privileged and point them to ways they can help, and to humanize homeless people and tell them they matter.
One sign at a time, Baronet makes a statement to help people with $20 in their hand and a voice that rings across the nation saying “I’m here.”
So not only did they take the small, hand-made signs away from homeless people but instead of just tossing them, they kept them. Not only did they keep them as some kind of homeless trophy, they actually went through the time, energy, and effort (funded by tax dollars) to tape them together, pose for a picture, and post it during the holiday season.
This is why people say that there are no good cops. Because there aren’t.
Reposting because the artist Willie Baronet a truly good and caring human being. He’s also a friend and one of my graduate school projects was an extension of his We Are All Homeless project.
Support the arts.
I saw the first post yesterday and was wondering wtf they were actually holding and now I wish I didn’t even know
it’s so difficult not being able to use milennial humor in a corporate setting. like i made a mistake today and i wanted to tell my supervisor it’s because i suffer from Dumb Bitch Disease, but do you think that would fly?? fuck no. i gotta say shit like, “sorry for the misunderstanding!” i can’t wait till the workforce is made up entirely of millennials and i can say “sorry i drank idiot juice for breakfast this morning” and my coworkers will be like “oh worm.”
i taught my boss the meaning and usage of “yeet” after i accidentally let it slip in the office and a day later he walks up to my desk and says “i just yeeted you an email” with a completely straight face and i nearly bowled over
