#i cant afford a car

[vagueshape]

I hate my city's public transport system and I hate that I have to rely on it

I'm so mad that post was misinformation because there is actually an EXTREMELY important conversation to have about the production schedules artists are forced into. There's no need for exaggeration, the conditions are bad.

I work for webtoon. My publication schedule is weekly. While publishing I'm required 10-15 pages a week. Fully colored.

This means I'm finishing a 150 page fully colored graphic novel every 10-15 weeks.

When my comic is not updating, I am not getting paid. Any time writing, editing, or off is out of my own pocket. I don't get healthcare. They do not provide any assistants. They expect me to promote myself; they chose to deprioritize me before I even launched and gave me an end date half a year in. I never had a chance.

And this is the industry standard! Every company has artists forced into crunch hours, overtime, and burnout. Artists are literally dying early due to it. So many of my friends can't afford to go to the doctor.

It's unsustainable and untenable, and it's also the expectation our audiences have.

If we want to have this conversation, there's plenty of conversation to be had with the realities of the situation. It's bad as is.

Ok. Imma need to ramble a bit. Today, my school had that monthly talking class, where the whole class basically sits down and talks about how they feel in school and if they wanna change anything. Great idea. Problem is; I get a better view of what shit my classmates are talking.

Today. We finished like class talking and our teacher suggested that we could talk about politics, since the wars and the coming up Europe elections.

And people were like "naaah, not politics" or "AFD!!!" (AFD is the German outer right wing party that basically wants to get Nazi-Germany back. I could rage about them for hours, but i do not have energy for that rn.) One of the guys said it was a joke (jokes are meant to be funny. That's not funny, but ok).

And now, what completely made me lose faith. A girl (who is also lowkey transphobic. She reposted like only 2 Genders shit) justified her liking for that party by saying they wanna keep allowing combustion vehicles. Bc they sound better. This is soo fucked up on so many levels;

1. You justify worsening your environment, bc you'd rather have a louder car than an electronic one.

2. You trade human rights for a loud car. But ofc that's fine. Bc they won't fuck over your rights, just the ones of every single minority.

Give up your 'right' to have a combustion vehicle and protect others rights to fucking live. And it's not even like you won't be bothered by what that party will do. Your friends might need to leave the county bc of them bitches. But no. Believe their lies and be part of the thrid that dangers the democracy. Great job.

Please Help!!

i really hesitate to make this post bc it's the end of the year and everyone is strapped for money but the past several months have just been slowly getting more and more overwhelming for the things we need to fix.

We've been driving around in a car with the back windows we can't even roll up (one is held up by duct tape and the other is now slipped off the track that we can't even pull it up at this point) and trying to save up money to fix the windows, and a small oil leak.

Two months ago we had to turn off the water to the kitchen sink bc underneath is rusted through and it needs replaced. We're doing dishes in the bathtub with a hair catcher because we can't use the dishwasher.

A few days ago, one of the back tires went flat because the wall has rotted and we have no spare. I need to go to work, but bc of my disability, I have a job that only has me work maybe twice a month. I get *maybe* 200$ a month and I don't currently have government assistance. It's been impossible for us to save anything to fix anything and it keeps snowballing. At this point we are worried how to even get food.

I'm stressed. My wife is stressed. If anyone could spare even a couple dollars so we can replace the back two tires on the car so I could go to work, I would be eternally grateful.

Reblogs are deeply appreciated.

i just wanna make enough money to be able to live in this stupid world. what does that feel so fucking impossible

[the-eldritch-it-gay]

I really wish I knew what my other QAs at work were paid. I want too know if they're paid more than me. The last QA guy at work I talked about money with was like, buying a house. And I can't afford a 1 bedroom apartment. I also know that everyone at work calls me a man but I'm curious if the actual guy QAs are paid more than me. I have a feeling I'm one of the lowest salaries on the team but I don't have anything to base it on other than vibes. I know legally I could ask people what they get paid but I'm barely even acquantances with anyone at work and am too paranoid to even talk to them about normal things let alone money.
