#that wage though

[thoughtsfrombehindthecounter]

So due to some unforeseen circumstances I'm looking for a second job, figured I'd just try and pick up some weekend shifts at another coffee shop, get a little change of scenery. I had an interview yesterday, probably had at least 10 years on the kid they had interviewing me and this literal child had the balls to offer me $11 an hour and then look me in the eye and tell me that I would need to sign an NDA so she could be sure I wasn't going to "steal her secrets". What secrets? The ones that make you so much money that you can barely pay your staff above minimum wage? You serve the same locally roasted coffee as every other shop in the area, use the same brand of syrup, your food menu is nothing to write home about. Ah yeah girl, gimme those fuckin secrets 🙄

#sorry for the rant #good lord #seems a little pretentious #that wage though #lol #i don't roll my ass out of bed for $11 an hour #fuck sake #barista problems #service industry

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

The more "empowered" Disney tries to write their heroines as, the less interesting and charismatic they become, ironically.

#disney #disney heroines #txt #@ disney: can y'all pls go back to writing women like people again? #ironically though disney heroines have gradually become a punching back for their asses #specifically the princess characters. they have been more disrespected and disregarded than any other set of characters #i mean they will put all that ✊🏼 bullshit with them and have a phrase like “be strong and brave” #but then be completely missing the point of their original stories and characters #i mean the ralph breaks the internet scene highlights how low they think of them in the modern era #modern disney is waging a war on disney princesses. they are trying to distort what made them so special and shift focuses

i shared this spicy hot take in private but actually i'm kinda mad so i'm gonna say it here: i'll believe your moral objection to AI art is plagiarism and not "the thing is bad and taboo so all applications must be Evil" when ACTUAL blatant reposts and cropped off artist signatures get even one tenth the pushback that random ai shitposts with zero resemblance to real human art do.

#this is bc people are mad about that gay sex cat post #hardworking shitposters lost their jobs for this? even though a human shitposter had to come up with the joke in the first place? #you cannot POSSIBLY make a plagiarism OR lost wages argument here you just think robots are scary #SOME uses of ai are certainly unethical. but that doesnt mean the CONCEPT poisons everything it touches #disk horse /

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

nobody asked but my unnamed mc would wear a lil bojangles hat

had an interview for a position this morning that would be 48 hours a week so if all goes to plan i may at last be entering my Offline Era

#.txt #[entire website breathes a collective sigh of relief] #im joking btw. i have a phd in posting on the job #i really do want this job though lol. 48 hours a week even on min wage would literally double my income rn #AND it's a nice easily commutable location. AND it's KP work which i like better than other minwage work. #AND it has a rooftop garden :(

here's some minimum wage Jax doodles!!

I did a colored version and oh my stars...... I need this as a sticker now! I love it!!

#I love how Jax is a fast food worker #he just looks so..... goofy #but clearly suffered since minimum wage is clearly terrible #But..... why would Jax need to work in the digital world?? #He may be 22 but it's not like he goes to college. #Or anything? #Maybe I'm wrong #I guess we'll see. #But I really do agree that it's funny for him to work minimum wage. #It's like putting him in a maid dress. #anyways #I'm really excited for when episode 1 comes out. Along with the rest of the show #If anything though.... #If Jax makes any remark or reference about an ice-cream machine being broken.... #I will cook and eat a well done steak #Istg #other than that #Enjoy this goober because I really do a lot. The food industry is hell. #tadc jax #rambles #artists on tumblr #traditional art #tadc fanart #tadc #the amazing digital circus #jax fanart #jax the amazing digital circus #jax tadc

There's this pull in recovery to feel behind in comparison to your peer group, and that's, of course, a valid feeling. It's understandable, but I think a lot of what we don't remember is that... they often aren't starting out in the same place you are.

I think part of the reason so many feel terrible about "being behind" is that it feels like we have to blame ourselves for being behind. If you just weren't affected by it, you'd be right where your peers are, right? It's a way to blame yourself in severe cases.

Recovery isn't about "catching up," I think. It's about pressing the play button and letting yourself live. You might never "catch up," you might never be at the "same level," but that fundamentally doesn't change that your life is worth living how you want it to.

#mental health #recovery #i always conceptualize it in a metaphor of planets... #...because it feels like my own has stopped completely and everything in it has withered away... #...i don't think people think 'time has stopped but the world is moving on without me' as profound until you experience it... #...because i'll look at other people and what their metaphorical planets look like and i just... find it heartbreaking if i let it... #...and i think the comparison in recovery can easily be a way for you to weaponize your own suffering against yourself... #...because it DOES feel good and it feels productive to be the punished and the punisher... #...and that shields you away from recognizing that it's almost literally the opposite of freeing or productive #to me it's akin to the viewpoint that suffering is divine and is a Test Of Mettle #that if you only suffer until the day you die you will Be Rewarded... #...but i find that there is no glory in a war waged against yourself... #...that the battlefield is coated only in your blood is not a testament to you Deserving a Good Life... #...you already deserve a good life regardless of what war you are fighting. and that's hard to swallow... #...because then it feels like your suffering to prove yourself was POINTLESS... #...and you have to swallow the fact that you suffered and you didn't 'have' to #i just want people to start to internalize these ideas or even just think about it in context of themselves #i don't *want* you to suffer for your recovery (though this is a pretty impossible task regardless ime)
