“The Bo-Staff”

Some angst based off my Ninjago redesign! There’s a reason why I gave Zane a bo-staff from the start and if you’re interested in reading it, proceed to the tags cause I’m too embarassed to do it in captions lmao (Spoiler- it has something to do with the Ice Emperor)

#ninjago #ninjago fanart #zane julien #ninjago zane #ice emperor #ninjago ice emperor #doodle #fanart #drawing #art #artsy ari #((I got some story behind Zane with a bo-staff too so prepare to read me ranting in the tags cause I'm too shy to rant in caption)) #((The quote I stole from TMNT 2012 when Splinter gave Donnie the staff and I thought ok now put Wu and Zane in that position)) #((Contrary to popular belief- Zane very rarely breaks his staff and even if he did it's cause his opponent breaks it. He never breaks it)) #((The Element of Ice is associated with 'thoughtful soul and peaceful heart' and the bo-staff. a sensitive weapon. is their main thing)) #((According to Wu. No Ice Elemental Master ever broke their staff because of their famous patience and sensitive kindness)) #((Zane is the first one to break it with his own hands. Lingering frustrations led him to hold it too rough and while sparring broke it)) #((When he was the Ice Emperor holding the scroll- he had no thought of his grip on the staff and it lingers for awhile)) #((After being brought back he might've left behind the Ice Emperor but he becomes more impatient and he's easily agitated)) #((The first few weeks were rough. 5 days after returning from the Never Realm the group thought it would be a good idea for a spar)) #((He's wielding a glorified stick. he's losing. he gets frustrated. held the staff too hard and hit Kai until it fucking snaps in half)) #((That's basically it lmao))

The Good Lady of the East Winds

Domains: Springtime, Dawn

The Good Lady of the East Winds is the smallest and gentlest of her sisters. However, her passivity should not be mistaken for weakness- as she is the most resilient of the Winds. Her breeze brings about good fortune and change, gently melting the frost that the Northern Winds left behind.

#me art #my gf is running a pathfinder campaign and was thinking of a magic item to give my character #she pitched me a staff that contained the soul of a pegasus and well. one thing led to another #now i have a horse pantheon slow cooking in my brain #i want to draw how i see the other 3 winds but we shall see #i could also see this as a potential design for celestia #if the alicorns were more ethereal #but i think i would just make my own pantheon for equestria at this point #anyways. horse brain rot

while im very much supportive of the anti work movement and in favour of reducing the amount of hours people are required to work to earn a living,,, sooo much of the rhetoric seems to centre around 9-5 office type jobs where productivity is measured by tasks completed etc like every single 4 day work week experiment i've seen has been smth along those lines and bangs on about how workers are more productive in their output and do "5 days worth of work in 4" etc or aim for majority remote work when like. that isn't possible in most service jobs like healthcare etc. even tho service industries are some of the worst when it comes overworking and burnout

#like im not saying there *isn't* talk about or action on improving work in service industries #but it seems to be an afterthought compared to aforementioned output-based office type jobs #even tho reduced hours and number of shifts are Absolutely needed in service jobs #but it's a lot more difficult to implement due to the nature of the jobs and the current massive amounts of shortages in these areas #like im approaching this from someone who works in healthcare where there are barely enough people to cover day shifts let alone night shif #and yeah a big part of that shortage is bc of the overworking that's led to burnout and many people quitting #and companies/governments being stingy and hiring the absolute bare minimum staff to operate at #so implementing changes like say 6 hour shifts and 4 day work weeks would require them to hire a tonne more people #(as they shouldve in the first place) #but even then they probably wont get even close to getting enough to cover even just current work practices adequately #let alone improved conditions with shorter and reduced number of shifts per person #while also maintaining pay at a liveable amount #tl;dr it's a shittonne more complicated than most 4 day work week office experiments have shown and we need to talk about it more

Tbh if tumblr asked for $15-$25 a month like Netflix does, and it meant the site would stay open, be ad free, and more user oriented I’d pay it.

I think one of the pitfalls of tumblr premium is that it didn’t change anything meaningful. Still had to put up with the shitty changes and content restrictions, you personally just don’t gotta see ads.

#hellsite #idk this is just my opinion #I’d be willing to pay but that’s because I’ve been here since the beginning and it’s genuinely a huge part of my hobbies #I know I’d find something else if it went under #I’m looking at pillowfort now #but I wish tumblr users weren’t so HISS 🐍 at paying to use something like this #I think that’s fair if you want a user led site #free is never free #it means you’re the product #and you have no control over how the site runs #if the users paid then staff would actually have to listen to us

it is crazy how openly the right is also targeting “administrative bloat” as the crisis in higher ed (the “beast” to be starved, per heritage foundation) but in their appeals they say out loud what higher ed activists won’t (that they also mean support staff, who are included in many of the administrative bloat numbers if you read them)

#this struggle just cannot be led by instructional staff mainly faculty #no offense to my faculty organizers to whom i am wholly devoted #(helping them catch up to where secretaries were fifty years ago)

It seems to really be hitting my mum just how young she was when she had me in light of her upcoming birthday

#+Extra #like on the one hand she feels old cus its a big birthday coming up but on the other hand it seems to only just be hitting her just #how young she is to have a 22 year old daughter which is frankly old news at this point she was always too young just in denial #we had a very odd conversation last night in which she started off by saying that my soon go be 18 yr old brother and the 19 yr old #definitely arent responsible enough to watch the kids for a couple of hours while she gets her hair but then that its ridiculous that an #under 18 yr old (her phrasing) cannot open a bank account without a parent because she was entrusted with an entire human being at that #age and so he should be able to open a bank account by himself and i was listening like no thats the wrong conclusion its the opposite the #adults in your life shouldve been more concerned about you also what a revisionist recount saying that no one was concerned about you #having a baby at the age and it was probably because my dad was an adult so they felt they had no need to be concerned when i know all of #your family tried to express concerns that you wouldnt hear which led to years of animosity during my childhood staff at your college also #expressed concern as did your friends you just dont wanna admit that now. also how can they not be trusted with the kids for a couple of #hours when youre 15 minutes down the road as basically adults when 1 is going off to uni in September supposedly and the other has #basically moved out already and i was left entirely alone with the kids at younger than 15? #the sexism and gender stereotyping continues to perplex me #anyway hoping no one got to the end of this rant to add that im once again reminded that my birthday is actually just a day for my mum to #mourn the youth she missed out on by having a baby stupid young

Tumblr, what the fuck is that and why is it blocking the right-hand task bar?

#wtf? #Tumblr wtf? #used ublock to hide the element. seems to have done the trick for now. #apparently it's part of the One Piece promo #Staff you do realise some of your users don't have a clue what this show is right? #genuinely fascinated by whatever thought process went into this ad campaign that led to 'be as annoying and frustrating as possible' #clowns cw #eye contact cw

not to keep liveblogging the retreat but it’s over now (it has been for most of the day). i cried so much today and it was amazing. im so sad and so happy and so relieved and so tired and so proud

#purrs #retreat tag #i was rly anxious facilitating today and overwhelmed bc we had to pack (i didn’t help at all and felt terrible) and i didn’t finish writing #notes to ppl and i had to facilitate and i was nervous abt the emotions. and then we got there and i said the final words and started crying #and this time EVERYONE was looking at me. but it wasn’t sad tears it was like…. wow. look at this. we made this together. we went through so #much this week and also for three years and we did it and it all mattered so much and we’re here together. and i felt all my past and future #selves and pods and cohorts in that moment and all the ones i didn’t get to see too. and it was so… wow. and then i was bawling when we were #hugging goodbye and someone in my pod hugged me for like a solid 2 minutes it felt like and we were just rocking each other and crying 🥹🥹🥹🥹 #it doesn’t even feel real but also it was SO real. i can’t believe it’s over. not to keep talking a but crying but i cried for like an hour #when i got picked up and we went back to the hotel omg.. like this was MONTHS of intensive prep and planning plus 2 years of the heaviest LY #lifts to put on diminished versions of this magical thing and we got to do it this time and everything that led up to that mattered and the #ripples will roll out forever. im a little scared bc part of me feels distant from it bc i know so much now and have a lot of experience w i #it but like.. this program changed my whole life. introduced me to so many of the people i love. exploded my world into light. and i got to #be part of doing that for 43 other people. i feeel so lucky and warm #i feel cringy for talking abt it on here liek it’s disingenuous / just for performance but i rly mean that its just thisis my public diary 🥴 #like omg. 5 years ago. and 3 years ago. and last semester. and now it’s over???? but also it’s just beginning. wild #naur also im a staff coach now and it was kinda sad the distance i felt. like they were scared of me / felt like i was untouchable a little #bit but it’s like… im only a couple years older than you. someone in my pod was a year older than me! so that was sad. but it was good

So the funniest thing happened today. We interviewed a woman for an entry-level scientist position, and I was one of the interviewers who was assigned to get half an hour with her.

Aside from the fact that she had a PhD in, generally speaking, the correct subfield, she was entirely unqualified for the job. But, having that PhD counts for a lot, and we all thought she seemed like a really tenacious person who could learn the ropes of what we were doing.

You know what she was extremely qualified for, though? An entry-level scientist position at my previous company. Like, they would kill to get someone with her exact background--someone who'd done a PhD under her PhD advisor and a postdoc under her postdoc advisor (completely unrelated work, both relevant to my previous company's work in entirely different ways).

But she wasn't applying there, she told me, because she'd looked at their linkdin page and they didn't have any women on the tech staff.

#even if I hadn't quit they wouldn't have any women listed on the tech staff because I don't have a linkdin #and while I was there they had disproportionately many women because the tech staff was so small #that even just having one woman led to a fairly high percentage compared to other companies #so it's a little unfair to them EXCEPT my former assistant there (who's still there) asked me in like his second week working there #if the reason I was being mistreated (his observation) was because I was a woman #this was nearly a full year before I quit #so maybe it is fair that she isn't applying there #OH I JUST REALIZED the contest ends in two weeks #the one where I once had to work that 72 hour week including an all-nighter on a Saturday #the one where this little company was up against two big collaborations containing universities and much larger companies and non-profits #I wonder if they got the results they need #but I can't ask unfortunately

Oh man Hornet 2,good luck man

I'd give you tips but I have no CLUE what your build is

Hornet 2? Isn't that Silksong?

#zdvfc also I already beat her by the time of making that post anon but thank you #I only knew that the Abyss is a thing beforehand and assumed that that one door would lead to it + the symbol Hornet led me to would open i #didn't know she'd lead me to that before defeating her! #my strategy was. Glowing Womb and Spore Shroom charms. bit cheap but hey it works #Drake plays hk #now I'm just beating more time in the Colosseum because it's fun here #I was thinking about making a HK OC and might make em part of the staff of the Colosseum

society rests upon the shoulders of extremely minor semi-public figures (mid-selling western comics writers, storyboard artists, staff writers on tv shows that limped to the 5 seasons necessary for syndication, podcasters who go through moderately popular media in enough detail to create a solid episode backlog) who have enough time and energy to respond to the very few very earnest fans of them

#kelsey rambles #wiki rabbit hole led me to find out that staff writer Tze Chun of unnotable non-arrowverse dc batman prequel ‘Gotham’ responded to some rand #*random user's giant enthusiastic liveblogging thread with basically 'yeah' #also inspired by james roberts responding to some truly wild and inappropriate tweets even to this day.

Women's Not So Distant History

This #WomensHistoryMonth, let's not forget how many of our rights were only won in recent decades, and weren’t acquired by asking nicely and waiting. We need to fight for our rights. Here's are a few examples:

📍 Before 1974's Fair Credit Opportunity Act made it illegal for financial institutions to discriminate against applicants' gender, banks could refuse women a credit card. Women won the right to open a bank account in the 1960s, but many banks still refused without a husband’s signature. This allowed men to continue to have control over women’s bank accounts. Unmarried women were often refused service by financial institutions entirely.

📍 Before 1977, sexual harassment was not considered a legal offense. That changed when a woman brought her boss to court after she refused his sexual advances and was fired. The court stated that her termination violated the 1974 Civil Rights Act, which made employment discrimination illegal.⚖️

📍 In 1969, California became the first state to pass legislation to allow no-fault divorce. Before then, divorce could only be obtained if a woman could prove that her husband had committed serious faults such as adultery. 💍By 1977, nine states had adopted no-fault divorce laws, and by late 1983, every state had but two. The last, New York, adopted a law in 2010.

📍In 1967, Kathrine Switzer, entered the Boston Marathon under the name "K.V. Switzer." At the time, the Amateur Athletics Union didn't allow women. Once discovered, staff tried to remove Switzer from the race, but she finished. AAU did not formally accept women until fall 1971.

📍 In 1972, Lillian Garland, a receptionist at a California bank, went on unpaid leave to have a baby and when she returned, her position was filled. Her lawsuit led to 1978's Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which found that discriminating against pregnant people is unlawful

📍 It wasn’t until 2016 that gay marriage was legal in all 50 states. Previously, laws varied by state, and while many states allowed for civil unions for same-sex couples, it created a separate but equal standard. In 2008, California was the first state to achieve marriage equality, only to reverse that right following a ballot initiative later that year. 

📍In 2018, Utah and Idaho were the last two states that lacked clear legislation protecting chest or breast feeding parents from obscenity laws. At the time, an Idaho congressman complained women would, "whip it out and do it anywhere,"

📍 In 1973, the Supreme Court affirmed the right to safe legal abortion in Roe v. Wade. At the time of the decision, nearly all states outlawed abortion with few exceptions. In 1965, illegal abortions made up one-sixth of all pregnancy- and childbirth-related deaths. Unfortunately after years of abortion restrictions and bans, the Supreme Court overturned Roe in 2022. Since then, 14 states have fully banned care, and another 7 severely restrict it – leaving most of the south and midwest without access. 

📍 Before 1973, women were not able to serve on a jury in all 50 states. However, this varied by state: Utah was the first state to allow women to serve jury duty in 1898. Though, by 1927, only 19 states allowed women to serve jury duty. The Civil Rights Act of 1957 gave women the right to serve on federal juries, though it wasn't until 1973 that all 50 states passed similar legislation

📍 Before 1988, women were unable to get a business loan on their own. The Women's Business Ownership Act of 1988 allowed women to get loans without a male co-signer and removed other barriers to women in business. The number of women-owned businesses increased by 31 times in the last four decades.

📍 Before 1965, married women had no right to birth control. In Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), the Supreme Court ruled that banning the use of contraceptives violated the right to marital privacy.

📍 Before 1967, interracial couples didn’t have the right to marry. In Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court found that anti-miscegenation laws were unconstitutional. In 2000, Alabama was the last State to remove its anti-miscegenation laws from the books.

📍 Before 1972, unmarried women didn’t have the right to birth control. While married couples gained the right in 1967, it wasn’t until Eisenstadt v. Baird seven years later, that the Supreme Court affirmed the right to contraception for unmarried people.

📍 In 1974, the last “Ugly Laws” were repealed in Chicago. “Ugly Laws” allowed the police to arrest and jail people with visible disabilities for being seen in public. People charged with ugly laws were either charged a fine or held in jail. ‘Ugly Laws’ were a part of the late 19th century Victorian Era poor laws. 

📍 In 1976, Hawaii was the last state to lift requirements that a woman take her husband’s last name.  If a woman didn’t take her husband’s last name, employers could refuse to issue her payroll and she could be barred from voting. 

📍 It wasn’t until 1993 that marital assault became a crime in all 50 states. Historically, intercourse within marriage was regarded as a “right” of spouses. Before 1974, in all fifty U.S. states, men had legal immunity for assaults their wives. Oklahoma and North Carolina were the last to change the law in 1993.

📍  In 1990, the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) – most comprehensive disability rights legislation in U.S. history – was passed. The ADA protected disabled people from employment discrimination. Previously, an employer could refuse to hire someone just because of their disability.

📍 Before 1993, women weren’t allowed to wear pants on the Senate floor. That changed when Sen. Moseley Braun (D-IL), & Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) wore trousers - shocking the male-dominated Senate. Their fashion statement ultimately led to the dress code being clarified to allow women to wear pants. 

📍 Emergency contraception (Plan B) wasn't approved by the FDA until 1998. While many can get emergency contraception at their local drugstore, back then it required a prescription. In 2013, the FDA removed age limits & allowed retailers to stock it directly on the shelf (although many don’t).

📍  In Lawrence v. Texas (2003), the Supreme Court ruled that anti-cohabitation laws were unconstitutional. Sometimes referred to as the ‘'Living in Sin' statute, anti-cohabitation laws criminalize living with a partner if the couple is unmarried. Today, Mississippi still has laws on its books against cohabitation.
