#and i get paid minimum wage

Production houses: but if the writers stay on strike we can't guarantee the future safety of your favorite shows 🥺🥺😭😭

Viewers who 1, have already lost their favorite shows because they were cancelled in spite of good ratings and good reviews or 2, have stopped watching new content entirely until the entire series has aired and concluded as a result of so many good shows getting cancelled on cliffhangers and thus leaving said viewers unable to gain closure with those characters and with a hollow viewing experience, so they've begun a, watching older shows they know came to a planned conclusion or b, revisiting their old favorites and enjoying the nostalgia or c, reading new books or fanfic instead: YOU ALREADY CAN'T GUARANTEE THE FUTURE OF OUR SHOWS SO GET FUCKING WRECKED AND PAY WRITERS WHAT THEY DESERVE!

#wga strike #support the strikes #writer's strike #writers guild of america #writers guild strike #edit; well this blew up a little #i just wanted to add that all our favorite shows are absolutely nothing without their writers #the bare freaking minimum is that those writers get paid a liveable wage #they are so underappreciated even though tptb would have nothing without them #a living wage is the bare freaking minimum pay them what they're worth for the work they do

Do you take commissions? If so, do you have a commission sheet? I’m sorry if this is an annoying ask I just really love your work lol

not annoying at all! i really really appreciate this a lot, thank you!

i have done commissions in the past on other platforms, but for now i am not taking them here. i'm not saying that i never will, because sometimes life is.. you know. Like That™️. but for now i'm steering clear of it to try and keep my passion up! 👍

#i also frankly think- and i don't say this to be rude- but i think that most folks in fandom would think my work is overpriced #because i charge somewhat more professional rates. still not a living wage. still not what you could get as a non-freelancer #(deleted a lot of rambling about prices here but if anyone does want to hear it i can go into it sometime) #kirby characters are generally far more simplistic so it would be a whole different pricing bracket #but i think expectations in fandom seem different to an original content community where people are doing this for a living #the one person i've commissioned in fandom i was so shocked at the rate i paid like... 500% what they asked me. #(that is not hyperbole. i 'tipped' 400% and it still felt like the bare minimum. you *must* tip undercharging artists.) #anyway. i have a lot of thoughts about monetising my art but at the moment this is still a no. i'm sorry! #i do really genuinely appreciate it though! if i ever open them i'll be sure to post here about it! #i'd also like to do art trades a little more regularly in the future (not rn) ; so there's that too? but we'll see. again i'll post about i #starflungs personal tag

after deducting the cost of materials (charms, findings, the little display cards they go on to) and, hell, even rounding it up an extra 20% for such things has "had to buy a £2 pair of pliers once"

right

after deducting that and being generous with it

i get paid roughly £165 per hour for labour making earrings. i'm serious. £5.50 for two minutes of work

#and that is - once again - still charging less than big corps whilst also paying more in materials #i could take my sweet ass time and spend a whole 5 min making one thing and still be on nearly £70 an hour #you tell me that's not just as unhinged as getting paid £5 an hour for yarncraft but in the other direction #you look me in the eye and tell me that's not a ridiculous development #i'm not also going to undercut fellow indie creators that's a dick move #and we seem to have generally established that £5-6 is a fairly standard price for earrings that also still undercuts the corporates #but when i say it's a bizarre experience i mean i get Lawyer Wages for one thing and Poverty Wages for the other. normally in the same day. #and the lawyer wages is the easier thing #if we all set the price of earrings at materials+minimum wage they would be about 75p btw #materials + double minimum wage + an extra 100% pure profit would be........ £3 #when i say nothing in claire's should cost more than a fiver i mean it with my whole chest

tipping culture is so weird when you’re broke. Like you scrapped enough together to order food/go somewhere to eat for a change and then you, the minimum wage worker, have to tip the other minimum wage worker additional to the food you saved for. And like, yes, you should pay for extra services but also that’s kind of their job and maybe, just maybe, we should instead start staking the bosses who only pay us fucking minimum wage.

#I’m so glad I’m German bc at least here people actually get paid minimum wage #instead of tips being counted in your wage like in America??? #I’d feel so guilty there if I don’t do your weird tips

TOTK Great Fairy Enhancements Tracker

I made a workbook in Google Sheets that will tell you in an intuitive format exactly what materials you need for your current set of gear. It's even mobile-friendly! Each tab should fit width-wise on a smartphone screen so that it's easier to quickly refer to it while you play without needing to scroll side-to-side or open it on a proper computer.

You'll want to make a copy of this file so that you can track your own gear:

Feel free to share it around, and also do let me know if you come across a bug or error!

A brief tour of the tabs below the cut:

The Input/Tracker Tab

Check off the far right of each row to indicate you own the piece, and then check the 4 boxes to the left to indicate how many stars of upgrade you've completed for that piece.

Bonus: Each column is filterable, so you can choose if you want to hide the pieces you've completed or the ones you aren't working on, or whatever.

The Output/Materials Tabs

There is one tab that will list out the materials you need for your next enhancement/star for each piece of armor, and then two more that will give you a total of how many of each material you need across all of your in-progress enhancements.

I split monster parts into its own tab because the in-game sorting for monster parts is by the function of the part (all eyeballs are together, then all wings, then "sharp" parts, "crushing" parts, etc). It seemed much more intuitive for this kind of a tool to instead organize them by the monster you're getting them from instead, so you can go, "Oh wow I need a lot of lizalfos talons, and horns from 3 different kinds. I better go genociding hunting where there are a lot of different lizalfos!"

#tears of the kingdom #totk #loz totk #I absolutely made it for myself and then spent twice as long optimizing it as playing the game for the last week #so someone else may as well get use out of it #too bad I don't have a patreon or something to get paid for the amount of work I put into it #if I got even minimum wage for the work put into it I'd have a sexy $300 right now #if I got the rate I charge clients for normalizing and analyzing data I'd have a much sexier $1500 #also very frustrated at Tumblr for not putting my screenshots into the rows and blocks I put them in so they didn't take up so much space

just a little behind the scenes but I ran the numbers and found I need to be making 420 book sales in order for my comic to be making a profit <3 hehehe funny weed number

#this is w me selling it at 12.50 #I’ve decided to keep it at this price for the first issue but going forward def increasing to 15$.. 😔🫶 #sorry gang #my goal then becomes 350 book sales #this is w me accurately representing my work as me getting paid 30$ for each hour I put in #if I give myself only minimum wage then it’s 175-210 in sales! #ohhhh I believe I believe that one day I can reach this goal amen 🥺🙏 #nuggyy txt #a little behind the scenes for you all I guess bahaha #I hope it’s not in bad taste for me to be talking so openly about this #but oh well #im a freelancer I gotta be honest w my audience 😭😭😭

A genuinely horrible thought just occurred to me. Would everyone please pray that the court does not order me to put my children in public school so that I can go get 'a real job'?

#So far every time I have asked that my husband be required to pay child support the response has been “Why aren't YOU working” #I am. And also homeschooling my eldest and taking care of my younger two. But it's not good enough. #I am making slightly less than minimum wage so it's not good enough. #(He is perfectly able-bodied and currently unemployed and is contributing precisely nothing to their upkeep.) #...I trust that God would not bring us this far just to abandon us now. But I genuinely do not see how He is going to do this. #From my limited human perspective it is impossible. #I don't know how I'm going to get all the bills paid this month. Or next month. Or the month after. #The roommate did not contribute to rent at all this month. I have rental insurance and rent and the Sam's membership and electricity #(why is the electricity so high. Why. Why why why. I have cut down as much as I possibly can) #and phone and diapers and I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting there always is. #I'm trying so hard not to fret because I know we're not supposed to but I can't quite rid my body of tension and I'm trying not to rail at #my husband because I know I'm not supposed to but #...I'm scared. #I'm honestly not sure if this counts as #Screaming into the void #or #Nattering into the void #Edit: the roommate did help with rent yesterday but the website had not updated to reflect it. So... now it's double-paid? #I'm trying to see if they can cancel my portion so I have enough for the rest of my bills.

Oh fuck me fuckme fuck me

#I'm going to start killing people #I need SLEEPY TYLENOL NOWWWWWWW #Mfer laying in bed for 8 hours full awake 🫠 eyes shut. Brain. ACTIVE #IM TRYING SO HARD TO SLEEP JUST BE UNCONSCIOUS #Too late now #Fuck me I have to be aware enough to not kill everybody in this vehicle #Mfing murder nightmare too what the fuck #Set the scene: YouTuber wedding #The man in charge of filming is an asshole to the minimum wage people working there #Like real mean. And one meek guy tries to tell the groom but the groom is kinda a dismissive asshole about it bc he's already paid the guy #So it's too late now. Meek guy keeps getting disrespected and storms out to the parking lot to just leave #Woman who has been witnessing this apparently is gonna kill on meek guys behalf. He does not want this #Woman gets into a fucked up death machine car and drives it into the groom #But not like. Runs him over. There's a fucking saw blade on the front that starts cutting through the bottom of his torso #He was screaming a lot. I'm not sure if he survived or not. But the atmosphere was not fun #Very muddy desaturated colors. Very wet and musty feeling. It was like almost a parking garage #I don't think I'll ever have a dream as scary as the um time-looping cannibal beach dream #But this was just the delightful cherry of not being able to sleep at fucking. ALL . #Literally cried I'm so distressed about not being able to control anything about myself rn #Hhhhh :((( #3rd night in a row I've slept like shit

[standfucker]

not gonna lie yall, it feels like all I do is either work or recover from work and it's bumming me out big time

#I don't have a chronic illness. I shouldn't be taking this long to recover #idk why I can't get home from work and go straight to writing #it's like I have to spend a day mustering up the will to live in the face of ongoing capitalism #it's my own fault. I would have had a two day weekend but they asked me to come in to cover someone and my clown ass said sure #I want to be pissed at the coworker who called off but it's my own fault for accepting #I had a phone interview today and I am ANXIOUS to know if they're going to bring me in for a second interview I NEED a better job #I just want a job where I dont dread going to work and also maybe get paid more than minimum wage #feeling really depressed about capitalism and working forever and knowing I'll never be able to afford a house #I WANT TIME TO DO MY HOBBIES GOD DAMN IT ;A; #also im lonely as hell. how am I supposed to go out and meet people if I'm too tired to do anything #I wanna meet someone. I wanna be loved romantically.

ohhhhhhh i get it now. working 40 hours 5 days a week actually destroys you from the inside out, huh?

#shapes.txt #i wanted to maybe do things today but i can't even do anything besides chilling and eating and watching youtube right now #i've only ever worked part time retail before #and now i'm working in a call center full time #like i'm getting trained now which is good #and now i'm getting paid above minimum wage #but like #my god #i have no free time now #the free time that i technically have is spent recovering from work or thinking about work #and it's going to continue like this #i'm not going to last #i don't think that i can physically handle working full time #ok ok ok ok ok plan: i suffer through hell and get lotsa money #but not for too long #and then once i'm no longer working here #i'll slowly try and find a nice trade job or apprenticeship #idk though!!!!! #i've enjoyed it so far it's just now on the weekend that i'm like ''ugh'' #i think it's because we (the new starters) got an actual taste for it on friday with all the accreditation stuff

[californiasplit]

fuck me im so bored. just finished 5 hours of work. Two and a half hours left of work. and then i will go home and do more work. then i will sleep. then tomorrow I will do more work from 8 am to 8pm. potentially more work on friday evening depending on how productive i can be this evening. saturday will probably be fine ^_^ going to hang out with my friends. Sunday I will do tutoring (barely work) and then preparation for the upcoming week of classes which is definitely work. then another really fun 12 hour workday on monday and tuesday and wensday andummmmmmmmmmmmmmm what if we all stood in a circle and got willingly but non-fatally run over by a volkswagen beetle

#its not hard. i get paid essentially a solid 1.5x the minimum wage. its not physically demanding or even emotionally demanding. but can i be #honest with you guys whats killing me is that im really . really bored

disneyland has this initiative, disneylandforward, thats basically a 30 year plan about how great disneyland is for anaheim and they are pushing Hard to be able to expand the park (disneyland's lot size and functions were limited by the city in the late 80s iirc) and lots of politicians seem to be super on board with just letting disney do what they want and expand their parks to "create jobs" meanwhile poor people will continue to be priced out of anaheim and the new jobs wont be a living wage and the homeless people in the area will continue to suffer because all orange county governmemt cares about is making money from disney, which is why a former homeless encampment was cleared and replaced with boulders and why you never see a homeless person wherever there are green lamp posts and why people dont remember yeweinisht mesfin and people keep falling for the propaganda that disney is this magical place as if its not a megacorporation that cares first and foremost about making money!!!

#complaining here because i feel crazy insane like how is this allowed to keep happening #also there has been a win for workers getting a large pay bump after disney lost in court #but when that is being implemented...i have no idea #but disney has for YEARS paid people under minimum wage

[salvadorbonaparte]

I'm trying to come up with other jobs to possibly apply to that aren't suspiciously out of my league and also don't sound absolutely horrible (in the rare case I do get a call back)

#I get 5€ per application now I think #I've been rejected by everything so far including freelance contracts mini jobs minimum wage stuff even customer service and retail #Cannot even land a paid internship
