#dollars per hour

[pixelcubito]

The answer to the question of why people worked in such a project if the payment, working hours and workload were unreasonable is always the same: They all loved the project so so much and in return.....they were mistreated.

#I'm reading Bipeo's testimony #qsmp.global's web developer #it's long and thorough #also they got to the point of being paid 5 dollars per hour WTF #qsmp #qsmp discourse #qsmp crit

Not people asking Celticists to do critical editions of texts because they asked us nicely to.

I would love to edit and translate manuscripts all day long, on top of working as a teaching assistant, my side job in the field that also pays me, preparing conference papers for presentation, which often includes translating Latin, Middle Welsh, Old Irish, Early Modern Irish, and Modern Irish myself, even when scholars before me have translated them (to ensure that the nuances are captured), adapting those papers to Powerpoints, arranging accommodations and flights for said conferences, playing Stardew Valley, organizing conferences/conference panels, working on my phd, working on projects that are actually publishable in the field, plotting the next Fomoire invasion of Ireland, as well as my various and assorted commitments to different groups and organizations that I am also doing without pay in order to bolster my CV so that there is a snowball's chance in Hell that I have a shot at employment, while even more senior scholars in the field have to struggle to justify their translation work. It reminds me of an article on the Celtic Students blog that talks about how the overwhelming amount of public outreach in the field, at the moment, is done by Grad Students, yours truly included.

In these digital spaces, students of Celtic Studies (predominantly graduate students) carry the brunt of the public's attention, and work to amend persistent pervasive errors or misunderstandings (such as 'did the Celts really fight naked in battle', 'were the Celts really matriarchal', and 'why did Saint Patrick commit a genocide against the pagans') that have found themselves deeply rooted in public consciousness. These misunderstandings appear to have been perpetuated by the rise of the internet giving the public access to wildly out of date scholarly publications, the Wikipedia articles on medieval Celtic literature being deeply inaccurate, and a small cottage industry of people producing exceptionally inaccurate self-published books (and ebooks) about 'Celtic Mythology' that dominate digital marketplaces such as Amazon and the Kobo storefront. 

Despite this being important work, and entirely legitimate scholarly labor, it can be disheartening when this work is not recognized as legitimate or worthwhile by senior members of the field compared to standard scholarly activities.

#like it's a request but it's an inherently unreasonable one to ask of anyone #we KNOW there's a lot to be translated #we WANT to share it with the public #but we CAN'T #we're working on it as best as we can but we are GRAD STUDENTS #we are functionally amoebas in the field #amoebas with very uncertain futures #in a time when translation work isn't only long and tedious work #but also increasingly unfashionable #*I* wanted to do translation work for my PhD and I was basically told no #if you want me to do work that will not get me anywhere as far as my future career...pay me #per hour #Given that you're asking for the product of approximately 4-5 years of training I think that $25 is reasonable #Keeping in mind it can take me that long to translate a sentence...sometimes even a word #and of course in order to do a TRUE critical edition I'll need to see the manuscripts #which depending on if it's online or not means that you'll need to pay for my flights and accommodation in Dublin (most likely) #which if you know Dublin prices...*woo* #It's only a few thousand dollars or so #if it's that important to the public it's worth it

That’s not safe for work you’re banned from my inbox until the day I go out of commission.

btw my food stamps app got denied again 😐 so i guess ill just keep applying i dont know. i gotta buy a new bus pass tomorrow and then pay rent on thursday but my “””holiday pay””” was only an extra dollar an hour so im hoping the extra day i worked is enough to cover it. what the hell man

#yeah they didn’t tell me they changed the holiday pay procedure #now its put directly into ur vacation time?? #so i used it already without knowing #and i only get an extra dollar per hour worked #i thought the last system where u got 4 hours of holiday pay #in addition to ur paycheck no matter how many hours you worked #i thought that was as bad as it gets.

i wish my family members would stop having a complex about my size and physical strength because i have the same one in the opposite direction and i legitimately do not know what my body looks like

#yes i am marginally the shortest one in the immediate family. yes you have a funny nickname based on that #is it worth the fact that i genuinely dont know how im perceived by others and now feel a vague need to compensate for everything about me #'oh so small 🥺 you dont play hockey 🥺 you dont have a job rn 🥺' #FACT CHECK FUCKERS. I AM LITERALLY THE AVERAGE HEIGHT FOR AMERICANS REGARDLESS OF SEX. #I WOKE UP AT 530 TO GO SWIM AND THE ONE YR COMPARING ME TO WAS LATE FOR SCHOOL. #I MADE OVER 700 DOLLARS IN A 2 WEEK PAYCHECK THIS SUMMER WHICH COMES OUT TO 35 HOURS PER WEEK. GET FUCKED. #also im in 10 clubs and pulling As in 6 honors classes. sorry that wasnt big and strong enough for you #and then they take that and theyre like 'oh teehee the responsible one compared to the dummy incompetent men' #ok but we do know how he needs to take the trash out rigjt #like it also sucks that my brother is pigeonholed as 'quiet meathead' because they clap and cheer for him when he does anything #its a weird degree of surveillance that he shouldnt be subjected to as hes figuring out how to be his own person #but for everything they see about him i do 5 things unnoticed #him as Quiet meathead leaves room for me to be either the tiny delicate responsible one or the frivolous hysterical one #HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE THIS IS JUST GENDER STEREOTYPES #ok this time im really gonna do it /not serious

[thrill-seeker-if]

questions I have about astarion romance storyline, I have lots of thoughts about him and want help from people who have played already, uh spoilers for his early romance plot below

does anyone know if you have to have sex with astarion for his romance scenes to lead up to you both working together to figure out what you both really want?

haven't gotten to play yet, and while he's undeniability charming (like he's trying to be) I'd like to refuse him without it shutting off the romance if that's an option? I'd still want to pick flirty options when I think they'd be fun but the character I have in mind would see through the more performative bits and wouldn't really be interested in sex with someone they think is lying to them, it would fit the character more if they refused.

I'm okay with mild spoilers if it relates to his story.

I feel like the answer will be no, and given the story stuff with him I've seen I could understand why, but this game has a lot of branching options so thought I might as well ask!

and if it is possible and because of everything astarion is dealing with we don't end up fucking ever that's totally okay with me

#Baldur's Gate 3 #astarion #bg3 spoilers #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #the character im working on has been through similar flirting with others for gain and it wearing on them- #-so i think theyd see right through his more perfomative flirting #god this game has taken up so much of my brain since it came out and i cant even play it yet #got multiple class build ideas i want to mess around with and ive been thinking about which party members would work best together #im not Just interested in astarion btw i also want to date basically everyone else (in other playthroughs though since theyre not all poly) #hes just specifically dug his little claws into my brain and wont let go. im so not normal about him. i haven't even seen anyone get far- #-into act 2 yet but i just aaaaauhg he is so Much #at least i know when i do get the game ill get well over a dollar per hour of playtime #most ive talked in tags in awhile. if youre seeing this i hope you have a good day! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠* #i have a feeling im going to play through so many damn choices of this game over and over just to see what happens
