Crowdsourcing a question

Okay totally personal post here because, now that search engines suck, my research is failing me. So I'm crowdsourcing my question about the residential care work industry!

Hoping at least some of my followers have experience in/with the industry and some intel on this:

Actual question: How common is it for jobs in residential care work (residential centers, btw, not home care) to actually have two people on the night shift? vs. just saying they always have two people on the night shift in interviews and their official policies, and actually it's not true?

Because my current job was, it turns out, apparently totally lying about "you'll never be on shift alone with clients" at orientation (when it comes to the night shift, anyway). Which, holy fucking safety issues, Batman!

Suffice to say this was a very fun thing to find out like three days before my first regular shift

So, I'm thinking realllll hard about switching companies, and I'm trying to figure out if I could expect to actually have a coworker at a different company, or if it's like an open secret in the field that actually, basically all the night shifts end up being solo shifts, because the industry is so chronically understaffed or w/e

what a year this week has been

Every fandom gets a middle age. It's not defined by time. It's defined by the emergence of fics and art that explore hugely divergent What Ifs.

It's a growing rejection of the ironclad This Is How xyz Character Is, and a desire to explore something new. Maybe an idea that was always secretly thought about, but no one was confident enough before to risk.

A fandom's middle age is when there begins to be a shift away from 'But Canon?!' to 'What Canon.'

If a fandom can get through the initial need to keep replicating the same version of Canon (or as is more often the case, Fanon), this middle age often produces more interesting and dynamic and nuanced creations.

real-life adulting, man. i'm still my ex's emergency contact 6.5 years after we broke up and he just gave me his new girlfriend's phone number so that i can contact her if something happens to him. this is in lieu of making her his emergency contact, which may seem like it would make more sense, except that he hasn't told his parents about her. so i get to be the emergency contact who then would contact both the girlfriend and the parents. this all makes total sense to me despite the fact that i don't even live in his city. it's whatever! we've known each other a long time!!

A chapter a day!

Chapter 10/525

As I now read that the state or federal government intentionally murdered dozens of people with a wildfire in Hawaii, I am once again wondering whether there is such a thing as a natural disaster or a genuine catastrophe in the minds of terminally online people who think everything was done by Them

And like

Every single time? Nothing bad has ever just happened? And it’s never incompetence or neglect? It’s always malice? It’s always because They planned it?

hello.... i saw ur tags on the non 24 hour sleep disorder post and i was wondering if u could share the name of the artist you mentioned who marks their sleep and wake times, sounds interesting 🙏

absolutely omg! the artist's name is skullerygram and they make really cool resin skulls omg <3

they don't always post about their sleep schedule, but if you ever see them post some kind of time tracking whiteboard in their stories, that's what that is! they very occasionally post about non-24 on there as well, but mostly it's just cool artsy skulls so it's pretty neat in the meantime!

(tagging @emileber bc idk how this works, so sorry ksdfkj)

y'all guess what showed up

How thrilling. My plan is to read it as soon as I make myself a cup of tea. Once I've finished my first read through, I'll write a post about initial thoughts/reactions to everything that'll include spoilers, and my rating. Then I'll write an actual in-depth "I read it so you don't have to" review.

I don't really have any expectations going into this, other than hoping it's at least better than Book One. I'm feeling pretty lukewarm, which is already a different mindset compared to how I went into Book One.

If you've read it and have thoughts, feel free to send in an ask. I won't be looking at them until after I've finished so don't worry about spoiling anything for me.

Alright, off I go~

Going from seeing barely any art of Darnell x Pico to seeing it everyday for the past 3 weeks has been amazing for me. I’m really glad more people are shipping them now, and seeing all their art and head canons for this duo has been pretty motivational for me. Seeing them obsessing over them to the point where they’re burning the wiki into their minds, and playing any mod they can get their hands on with these two was also great. It’s like a dream come true for me.
