Nearly a dozen children were working shifts cleaning meat processing equipment used at an Iowa pork plant’s so-called kill floor over a four-year period, the US Department of Labor announced.

Eleven children were using corrosive chemicals to clean as well as perilous “head splitters, jaw pullers, bandsaws, neck clippers and other equipment” at a Seaboard Triumph Foods pork processing plant in Sioux City, according to officials. This is the second time federal investigators have found children working at that particular Sioux City meat processing plant.

The most recent settlement comes with Qvest LLC, an Oklahoma-based cleaning company hired by Seaboard from 2019 to 2023. The company was fined $171,919 for violating federal law.

In September 2023, Seaboard hired a new cleaning contractor: Fayette Janitorial Services, headquartered in Tennessee. Investigators found Fayette hired 24 children to work overnight shifts – some as young as 13 and carrying glittery school backpacks – including some of the same minors who were employed by Qvest, the previous cleaning company. In May, Fayette was fined $649,304.

“These findings illustrate Seaboard Triumph Foods’ history of children working illegally in their Sioux City facility since at least September 2019,” said wage and hour midwest regional administrator Michael Lazzeri. “Despite changing sanitation contractors, children continued to work in dangerous occupations at this facility.”

The federal investigation comes after a 2023 New York Times report on migrant child exploitation, in which the paper documented children working dangerous jobs and overnight hours.

Children who arrive at the US’s southern border alone often stay in the country for years before their cases are adjudicated. While they wait, they live with sponsors. As of 2023, only one-third of migrant children went to live with their parents, a sea change from a decade ago. That can leave children vulnerable to exploitation or trafficking.

Reimagining the inner world as a planet moving around the void of the collective unconscious instead of as a landburg. Been scrambling between different psychoanalytic models for inspiration for different layers of the planet such as the atmosphere, geosphere, latitudes and orbiting bodies representing the inner worlds of my social circle. I mainly took inspiration from Carl Jung’s and Roberto Assagioli’s models.

Who I was changed regularly, faces coming and going without warning; I was so many, too many, thus I wound up being nobody. Nothing stayed static — I never stayed static — there was no starting point. We were a jumbled, erratic galaxy, a constantly-shifting kaleidoscope of constellations, incapable of being neatly filed into a list.

☆ Normalising "Obscure" Alters

We've noticed that there's been a lot of hate and overall cruelty that more 'unusual', 'obscure' alters face. Mainly, i feel like the reason for this is because they aren't normalised much in the community, and the larger system community's more used to human introjects from extremely well-known sources / human brainmades whilst simultaneously showing hate towards any introject or alter in general that is even slightly abnormal.

We've had a mass splitting aswell as a large amount of alters returning from dormancy in the past few weeks due to issues i won't get into, so i thought i'd list some of our more 'obscure' new splits to hopefully help some systems who are in denial or are overall feeling negative due to having alters who "don't fit the norm". Feel free to reblog this and add your own 'unusual' alters to encourage your fellow systems!

'The Tell-Tale Heart' by Edgar Allen Poe. Yes, the poem.

An Elder Mimic from Vita Carnis. I think non-human/monster alters are shown quite a lot of hate.

Whitney Chewston, better known as 'The Homophobic Dog'. We haven't seen many animal alters before in the community, but they deserve more acknowledgement.

Gangle's Employee Re-evaluation Video, from TADC. Not the character, the character's flashing video you see in the TADC Spudsy's episode. Conceptives and songtives are things we rarely see due to how many people harass them.

A seraphim. We actually have multiple seraphim, but most of ours are humanoid.

The Personification of Narcissism. Yet another conceptive.

Cthulhu's Eye. Yes, the floating eye from Terraria.

I'm still trying to figure out what other alters have appeared, so likely I'll update this post as i discover more. But i hope this post has helped atleast one other system feel a bit more confident and less anxious.
