This day after mothers day, and every other holiday where you're running to the grocery store the day before/day of/day after said holiday, please for the love of God be so very kind to your grocery store employees

Some of us are the only person, yes person singular, running three, yes more than one, departments.

Some of us are doing this with no holiday pay for the minor, but busier, holidays.

Some of us have never been home with our families on these holidays while you're scrambling to get home to your family.

Some of us are barely making $11 an hour.

Some of us are very tired.

Some of us are me.

Be so nice to me.

Please.

#every year i feel so compelled to make this post after like three major grocery holidays #Valentines day easter and mothers day require so much prep...#and everyone is always so very mean #but also its like hi heres 20 kiddie pools for summer #and then suddenly its time for fall #then halloween is here for a month #then its immediately the BIG food holidays #and then the new year #then right fucking back to valentines day #with no fucking break ever bevause we have 2 inventories crammed in there as well #and i never get a fucking break #what the hell is a vacation lmao #i cant afford to have bills #i just want to take a nap tbh

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.

#and people get mad at us about 'short updates' lmfao #the companies are absolutely abusing our passion and our desperate situations #but readers genuinely offer little to no grace #if I am going to be able to leave #then the conditions for me to be able to leave need to exist #and they just Dont right now #I'm not making nearly enough to pay my bills without webtoon #I NEED the job #I dont have a car #I cant fucking afford one #I can't drive anyway #I NEED TO WORK #THIS IS MY JOB #I want to leave I'm being mistreated but I CANT!!!#anyways. whatever #I'm so fucking upset that someone just idk spread misinformation #and now the conversation is about like nooo she was under the same shit conditions as everyone else #she's just a really good writer #like okay that's awesome and I'm really glad #but WOULDNT IT BE NICE IF SHE WASNT ALSO OVERWORKED?#AND ALSO IF GOOD WRITERS WERE ABLE TO WRITE WELL WITHOUT HAVING TO BE OUTLIERS???#god it makes me so so so mad!!!!#fucking ruining a really important conversation to have!!!#we're mistreated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we just are!!!!!!!!!!1 #I'm not paid enough to build the savings to take risks!#this 6 month break was EVERYTHING #I NEED to start working to pay my bills now #like it's over I ran out of time #its heartbreaking #I hate it here

#im lazy as hell #4 boxes in i lost my mind hahaha #megastar #im rewatching g1 #ill draw better latee trust me #i just need to learn how to draw #hes supposed to be kissing the gun i uhhhh couldnt portray that so take my word for it #maccadam #transformers #anyways how yall nerds doing? i found my megatron figurine that survived getting ran over by a car. hes on my desk now.#anyways on the topic of g1 WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE TWO????#you ever see some shit like damn i hope you two die together #they give me secondhand cringe. head in hands i cant be near these deranged mfs #5 years ago ppl tried to pressure me away from this ship lmao #megatron #starscream #dawg im being ran through by my workload.#wanna hear another very real problem i have? so im a starscream fan since i was like 7. always a ss fan #and one time when i was a teen my mom accidentally ran over my megatron toy with her car so i begged my parents for a model kit #ss was out of stock for years so i got tc. i bought that for $24 and it was all chill #recently i was thinking i want the entire dumbass squad. all 3. i checked the price #$58??? MINIMUM???? AVG PRICE IS 70???? for HIM???#so what i need yall to do is i need a recs so i can infiltrate hasbro and character assassinate ss so bad the merch price drops back to $30 #for the small cost of 20 rec letters i promise to destroy the franchise. how about it? then we can all get merch for better prices. cool!#or we can start a gofund me and raise millions so i can become an investor and tell them to lower prices from outside the club #maybe i should email the board. some shit like hey i was planning on having kids but i cant if the toys cost as much as the hospital bill #can you lower the prices so i can buy my future kids toys so i can indoctrinate them like my dad indoctrinated me to become a lifelong fan #sincerely. two generations of TF fans (your franchise isnt that old yet and i hope my kids can afford to be the third gen)

"a dude in Texas legally changed his name to "Literally Anyone Else" and he's attempting to run for President against Biden & Trump" [source]

okay, but putting aside the comedic aspect of this, it is concerning the amount of people who are prompted to vote for candidates just because it's funny. I'm not the biggest fan of how his policy about the boarder sounds [Site], but I do implore anyone who is able to vote in the 2024 US election to please research other candidates.

The media is only going to continue pushing the idea it's inevitably going to be Trump vs Biden 2.0 and we have no other options, that we have to vote for Biden again because of Project 2025. Is that whole thing terrifying?

Yeah, fucking absolutely.

But voting for Biden will not solidify our safety from that. Biden is exactly like the rest of them. He always has been. You can't make the lesser of two evils argument when they're both just plain evil.

You cannot say that Biden is even mildly a better choice than Trump when he is currently directly involved in a genocide. That is not some little fucking thing. That in and of itself disqualifies him as a lesser evil. Biden is just as bad as him and he will not save us because he doesn't fucking care.

Cornel West [Site] is an Independent candidate running for President in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia [Site] are running for President and Vice-President as the candidates of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

There are options.

There are people trying to change the corrupt foundation our system is built on, but we have to help amplify them because the mainstream media will not.

#have you looked at what's happening in New York & the subways #There's so many reported shootings and deaths and it just seems to be getting worse.#I just looked up subway shooting ny because I wanted to check before saying something #There's reports from like 3 hours ago about someone getting pushed in front of one of the moving subways & there's so many others #or how about the like thousands of police officers that they've got stationed at subways in ny literally doing fuck all #or how everyone's going through a housing crisis and cant afford rent and cant get medical care because it can cost #$4000 to get a fucking ambulance and that's cheap. That's a ride to the hospital less than 20 minutes away probably.#or the rise in hate crimes and bigotry and all the shit they're now trying to censor with the kosa bill #or how terrifying places like Florida have became for anyone thats not seen as an equel by people who dont view most others as equels.#or how they're pouring billions into wars while we're in the midsts of a homeless crisis #suicide rates are at record levels in the us and it's only going to get worse. theyre pulling telehealth which will take away #life saving medical care for people who dont have the ability to go in person. people's ability to get therapy and meds being taken away #Is going to kill people. or how the Biden administration has fucked up their Covid response so goddamn badly #people are referring to the pandemic in past tense and have lost understanding for others who they'd have understood before #they've lied and they've concealed and its killing millions of people and disabling even more. but they will not take accountability.#long covid is ruining people's lives and they've successfully led the narrative that its not real or not that serious.#they will sit there and they will lie. they will say they've protected women's rights and that its a top priority.#they'll say that healthcare is a top priority but have suggested that they'd veto a healthcare for all bill because of its price tag #but will spend billions and billions and billions on a genocide that the majority is against. the system isn't going to begin collapsing #it already is.#its crumbled and we must demolish the corrupt remains and rebuild a better government that gives a shit about people #ALL people.#they use basic human rights as bargaining chips.#the Democrats and Republicans on a Venn diagram is a circle. wake up.

LMAO i just saw this girl on tiktok write out her dream lifestyle and how much she would need to make for it. and she got 215k a year. so just for fun i was like ok let me throw out some crazy numbers. the most extravagant life that i can imagine living. and it came out to 50k a year😭

#this is why i truly think i will be ok on a teacher’s salary #bc i have been paying for all of my bills since i was 18 on a MUCH lower amount of money #i tried to imagine spending like. 500-600 a month on groceries and it was unthinkable #and giving myself 5k a year for vacations??#i could even go international with that #And this is with like. aggressively paying down my debt #it’s not counting medical tho. but then again i literally do not go to the doctor ever even if i’m dying #which all my friends are concerned about but it is ingrained in me and i cannot change it #cant afford it anyway so like. whatever #i either die or not i guess #anyway this does make me feel better bc at the very least even if i can’t find a college/university job after grad school #i should be very ok on a teacher’s salary #ik no one cares but. it is the middle of the night and who would i be if not a rambler and a worrier #personal

very sad this morning seeing Ryan and Shane leaving youtube to start yet another exclusive subscription service :/

#this is a monumentally shitty idea #then entire comment section is UNIFIED ive never seen that before akfjsks #i had to say that early accessing like cc makers do here would have been way better #but now at this point the damage is done and a lot of people feel disappointed that they seem to care more about the money #and honestly i dont think they produce enough content to justify a whole new service #i love the mcelroys way more and what they do is so much better #youtube already has a built in tier sevice why cant they just do that???#anyway i have so many thoughts on this #i honestly watched ryan and shane way more than when they were on buzzfeed #i watched for their dynamic and how fucking funny they are together not for the quality of the shows #so many people do not understand that people watch them for them not for high value production is #first matpat then jacksepticeye soon and now this :/#im DREADING the day gab smolders inevitability retires because shes my comfort youtuber she and her content has gotten me #through some of my worst moments #ill shut up now #someone tell me how many dislikes their announcement has on yt im so curious akfkska #oh also and its like dont they get their fanbase is mostly young people who probably cant afford another streaming service #on top of bills and the cost of living now??

It's days like these that remind me how fucked up the American Healthcare system is.

I went to the hospital today because I was throwing up (dry heaving at that point) and in agony. I was crying and I was scared and I was convinced I was dying. No that is not an exaggeration. A part of me was convinced something was horribly wrong and I was actively dying. But when my mom asked if I wanted to go to the hospital, I didn't say yes. I didn't say please. I didn't say call an ambulance I literally can't move.

I said "we can't afford it"

I said "how much will it cost"

I said "how much will the tests be"

My first thought wasn't "I need a hospital" it was "I'm fucking terrified but I need to suck it up cuz we can't afford this"

And that is so so so insanely fucked up

#my mom very quickly told me 'dont worry about that' but i was #i still am #they did multiple blood works and an ultrasound and fluids and antibiotics #and last week my mom have to borrow the only $2 i had to keep her bank account out of the negatives #i still dont know how much it was but i know its smth we cant afford #but america likes to say 'oh you think ur dying? we can help! we are gonna bill u like 20k tho lol'#heavy sigh #i hate america #ritz rants #cw hospitals #i rlly just needed to get this out of my system
