So many delicious new homes for artists.

In case of Tumblr apocalypse

So apparently, even sfw posts can be affected and deleted by the bot so better take some measures before it goes all to Hell~

You can follow me on:

Twitter

Instagram

Artstation

I would most likely be active on DA, and Twitter~ I would still be posting here and see how things go~

‘The retailer, which last year made more than £6bn of revenues in Britain, has a disciplinary system under which points are accrued for illness. Workers are issued a penalty point for each episode of sickness.

Workers are told that more than one point will result in a “series of counselling and disciplinary meetings” and between four and six points can result in dismissal.

In one case, a woman who spent three days in hospital with a kidney infection was docked two points, reduced to one on appeal, despite providing a hospital note.

The system has been revealed in an investigation by The Sunday Times at Amazon’s sorting depot in Dunfermline, Scotland.

The undercover reporter was paid £7.35 per hour by an agency that supplies workers to Amazon, but was left with less than the minimum wage after paying £10 for the agency’s bus which took her to the site 40 miles from her home in Glasgow.

It emerged this weekend that some low-paid workers are camping out in woodland near the sorting depot to avoid paying the bus costs and ensure they are left with more than the minimum wage…

The reporter obtained a job with PMP Recruitment, one of the two main agencies that hires and supervises workers at the Dunfermline depot. The investigation found:

Workers being threatened with dismissal if they accrued too many points for illness, late attendance or absence, or for making too many errors or failing to hit productivity targets.

A claim from a worker in Amazon’s on-site first-aid clinic that workers were under pressure to hit targets and were suffering injuries in the rush to collect products

Workers were expected to cover more than 10 miles a day in the warehouse collecting items, but water dispensers to ensure they avoided dehydration were regularly empty

The reporter was told she had to sign an opt-out of the working time directive, which limits weekly hours to 48, in order to get a job.

The reporter was employed as a “temporary warehouse operative” at Amazon’s vast plant in Fife. She worked in the “picking” department, which involved retrieving items from across several floors of the sprawling warehouse, according to orders displayed on a handheld scanner she was given. She worked at least 10 hours a day, with an unpaid 30-minute lunch break and two 15-minute paid breaks….

Under the system set out in the Amazon temporary associate handbook, half a point is issued to recruits who are late to work or late back from a break; one point for “one period of sickness”; and three points for “no call, no show”. The undercover reporter was told that anyone who was more than 30 seconds late in arriving at work or returning after a break would be subject to the half-point penalty.

Workers were also told that if they made more than one error a week in collecting items or failed to hit productivity targets they could be subject to a disciplinary process, which could result in dismissal.’

Thank you to those of you who attended the stream today! Did a bit of tweaking on this afterwards because I’m a nitpicker like that.

Happy (belated) birthday to one of my besties~ I’ve talked to this gal for 4 years or so now, and they never fail to bring  a smile to my face! ;v;

Sorry that I’m not always around, and thank you for always being around - have some cake <33

[asknlarchivist]

I get antsy when I haven’t produced content in awhile. I worry I’ll be forgotten. I feel like I have to keep buying my place in fandom with stuff like art and writing. Which makes it hard to produce content because that’s a lot of pressure to put on my creativity muses. So I sit here worrying instead. 

Bleh.

Twitch Art Stream this weekend!

Just wanna’ let you guys know ahead of time. And please, if you have requests about what you want me to draw, please leave a note here or drop me a message/ask! I’d love some ideas because I am a lazy turd severely artblocked!

I plan to go at it aaaalll day as long as I can, so I may be able to get a handful done with some breaks inbetween. Depends on how fast I’m able to work and how many breaks I take.

I’m shooting for this Sunday first thing in the morning, maybe Monday too. Saturday I’m going out somewhere nice with my fam and then the rest of the day I’m working in the garden (if it doesn’t rain again, anyway). Lots of plans! Lots of fun times! Join me, my tumblr fam! Partake in enjoying my long weekend with me!💖

(Also, if you’d like, a tiny donation here and there is always appreciated regardless of the amount. There’s something special for my mom I’m saving up for for Christmas. Something very... sentimental, and in a very personal way. My goal is roughly $200 because there’s two different items involved, so yeah, any donations my way are always welcome. PayPal link’s here. Thank you. 🎁)

Thanks to everybody who came to watch me stream this yesterday and this morning! Might do another one come this weekend, because this week work is absolutely crapping on me with extra hours and I’ma’ be a tired Mirmod. TwT

[asknlarchivist]

Mod, what country do you live in, if not a secret?

I live in the United States! Home of burgers and bad politics! 😊🍔🍟

[asknlarchivist]

Ok so I got OBS going and eventually a stream is now up if anybody wants to drop by at my tiny channel, see how this thing goes. Keep in mind this is a first run so I apologize in advance for stuff breaking:

https://www.twitch.tv/miraka118

Seems join.me no longer lets me have as many slots for people to come watch, so lemme’ see if I can get a stream going on Twitch instead.

[asknlarchivist]

Bruh’ I’m on the verge of tears. Blog is dead for like several months and I make a post after forever and people flood in with likes and reblogs more than ever before. I feel so loved.

You guys are amazing, I cherish you so much. Thank you for continuing to believe in me. TvT

[asknlarchivist]
