Wisteria lamp, designed by Clara Driscoll c. 1901.

Today, exquisite, instantly recognizable Tiffany lamps and other stained-glass art nouveau masterpieces fetch hundreds of thousands at auction. Louis Comfort Tiffany originally claimed credit, but many works were actually created by female artists led by head designer Clara Driscoll.

In 1892, Driscoll was named supervisor of the Women’s Glass Cutting Department, known as the “Tiffany Girls.” For the first time, women were allowed to cut out patterns and select glass for windows and mosaics; by 1897, about 40 of the most skilled female artisans were creating meticulous preparatory drawings known as cartoons. There was constant turnover, because the department would not employ married women.

Proud of her work, Driscoll wrote in an 1899 letter to her family, “There are three hundred square feet of small pieces of glass to be accomplished. There is nothing like having enough work to do and feeling able to do so.” That year, Tiffany sold the first electric lamp with a stained-glass base and shade. The lamps became coveted collectors’ items.

It was the women artists’ idea to make lamp shades from pieces of glass left over from window manufacturing. In 1900, Tiffany Studios’ Dragonfly lampshade, Driscoll’s design, earned a bronze medal at the Paris world’s fair. But in company literature, Tiffany credited only himself.

We know this because surviving along with painterly glass artifacts are thousands of Driscoll’s letters detailing her creations and those of her staff. The letters discovered in the early 2000s at the Queens Historical Society described Driscoll’s Gilded Age life: She lived in a Manhattan boarding house, rode her bicycle, and shopped at Lord & Taylor and Wanamaker’s, as electricity lit the city and the new subway rumbled underground. Her letters also contained sketches, designs for which she would not get credit, including the magnificent 2,000-piece Wisteria Lamp inspired by the lush lavender-hued plants cascading atop the pergola at Tiffany’s Long Island estate.

internetslime

I think it's actually DEM-et-er, not de-MEET-er?? unless I've gotten them backwards in my head and I corrected myself somewhere along the way and forgot about it which is equally possible

STILL CANT GET OVER HOW FUNNY PETER LUKAS IS. JUST LIKE. AS A CHARACTER CONCEPT??? EVERY TIME I TRY TO EXPLAIN IT TO SOMEONE I END UP WHEEZING TOO HARD TO CONTINUE???

like oh hey its the lukases! theyre an entire family tied to the eldritch manifestation of the lonely! thats ironic enough to be funny already, but then we meet peter lukas.

and all our past exposure to the lukases leads us to believe that he’s gonna be pretty representative of the forsaken, right? he’s a scion of the lukases, who have all been cold, distant, reserved and ominously silent. surely when we finally hear a lukas on tape, he’s going to have Gravitas, right? he’s going to be menacing? he’s going to be terse and measured with his words, only speaking enough to deliver cryptic portents of doom to our protagonists????

no.

he sounds like your uncle who works in the HR department of a life insurance company!! he sounds like he walked right out of a management training dvd!!! and he doesnt shut up!!!!!

he opens his mouth and its like my podcast player has been possessed by the tormented souls of a thousand door to door salesmen. everything he ever says just perfectly captures the essence of an insufferable bureaucrat of a “people orientated company” with an employee policy made up of statements like “we’re all one big happy family!”. thats REAL fear right there. he’s the fakest bitch ive ever heard. its incredible.

Please fucking lie to your employer. Like they don’t need to know your mental health issues or what drugs you do. Ffs

thecolorsfucked

its not lying if its to employers or cops

and look up ur rights on what they can and cannot ask u many places ban asking about ur record and transportation status and things like that resources will also tell u how they reword sketchy questions so ur prepared

Hey. Take it from a former HR person… this goes double right now. I just spent some time putting in some job applications myself (not for HR, lol) and got about 15 interviews. And idk if it’s because of COVID uncertainty or if places just don’t fucking care anymore because they know people are desperate for work, but the amount of straight up illegal shit my interviewers asked me was appalling. (That’s not even counting the questions that were technically legal but clearly fishing for information they’re not legally allowed to ask.)

A tame example? Two questions into a phone interview, the guy on the other end of the line asked: “How old are you?” I said “Excuse me?” - giving him a chance to rethink that. He didn’t. “How old are you?” “Sir, you are not allowed to ask me that question.” “Well, I want to know. I’m asking.” “And you’re legally not allowed to ask me that. I’m not required to tell you my age.” At that point, I guess he managed to remember an old HR bulletin or something (I hope to god he wasn’t actually HR himself), and he said, “Well, I need to know if you’re over the age of 18.” (Which is what he should have asked in the first place… or not, since that was in the application that he could have read.) “Yes. I’m over the age of 18.” And we moved on. Two questions later, he tried another illegal question. I called him on it again and ended the interview, citing that a workplace with such a clear disregard for the law, especially upon first contact with a potential employee, was not going to be a good fit. (They offered me the job anyway, lol. I didn’t send a thank-you or a response.)

At a different interview, the majority of questions were “fishing” questions - just looking for that info they’re not actually allowed to ask. (This person was also either not really HR or an HR person who was exceptionally bad at their job.)

I could tell they were getting frustrated when I dodged answering the personal stuff, and they actually got extremely upset when I mentioned later in the interview (re: less relevant work experience) I had worked in HR. They were super flustered for the remainder of our time, and I watched them skip over questions on their sheet they had clearly planned on asking. They KNEW they were being sketchy and were counting on me not knowing anything about HR - or my rights - and so they got upset when I did. These were super tame examples. I’m begging you, if you’re job searching right now, PLEASE know your rights. Please know what interviewers are allowed to ask. Please don’t volunteer information or elaborate more than you’re required to about personal things. Save your words (and everyone’s time) by elaborating why you’re good for the position/what you can do. I may create a resource list on this shit later but PLEASE PLEASE KNOW THIS STUFF BEFORE YOU TALK TO AN EMPLOYER. This goes for anywhere you’re interviewing as well as your current employer. This also goes for HR. HR may be the person you go to when shitty stuff happens, but that doesn’t mean they’re your friend (or competent). They don’t need to know your age (beyond 16+, 18+, or 21+, depending on the job). They don’t need to know your medical history. (For the love of god, do NOT answer the “have you been diagnosed with depression?” question.) They don’t need to know if you have kids or whatever. They don’t need to know a LOT of those things that may appear on an application, including your veteran status, whether you’re on/have been on unemployment, etc. They’re not entitled to know specifics about your transportation (unless you’re using that transportation for the job, like Uber/delivery drivers). Look this up for your state/the job’s state. Beware questions like “What year did you graduate?” if you’re like me and don’t put dates on your resume (I just put amount of time spent at employers, not dates of employment). They’re fishing for your age. It’s “Oh, you know, 100 years ago,” if you feel comfortable making a joke, or “About [generic number, like 5 or 10] years ago” if not. Also beware things like the “What do you do in your free time?” question, even if you already work there. This is not a friendly getting-to-know-you question. This is a basis for judgement. Not up to an invisible standard? They’re going to be biased against you for pay raises, promotions, etc. Mention kids/lots of family/social engagements? That’s a tick against you for not being the kind of person who lives to work (yes, it’s gross and stupid). Mention lots of solitary things? Cool, that’s their mental note to ask more from you because you’re “not doing anything anyway.” By all means, be friendly with your coworkers/talk about shared interests if you want, but it is none of your boss’s business, and be aware what could get back to them. Don’t. Tell. Employers. Shit.

this is mostly good advice but I do want to clarify (for folks in the States, at least) that it is not illegal for employers to ask you your age. it is not illegal for employers to ask if you are pregnant, disabled, married, gay, or belong to any other protected class.

it is illegal for employers to BASE HIRING DECISIONS on your membership within a protected class. they can legally ask you if you're Chinese. but they can't factor that information into your hiring (except for some very specific cases, like film/theatre casting, where you might need people of specific races/ages/abilities/etc)

"why would an employer ask me if I'm a member of a protected class if they aren't legally allowed to factor my answer into their decision" well, exactly. even if they are the most well meaning person in the world with the best intentions and are just trying to make small talk, it's still a terrible idea for an employer to ask these questions. because if you then don't get the job, you might worry that it's due to being a member of a protected class and sue them, which no one wants.

also: age discrimination rules don't apply to people under 40. that is to say: if you're 25 and think you didn't get a job or were fired due to your age? tough luck. the employer's legally in the clear. doesn't sound fair? it's not, but that's American workplace law

to my followers in high school / college / early career positions, PLEASE read Alison Green's Ask A Manager advice blog. She does an amazing job of answering just about any question you might have, advocating for unionization, explaining work norms, calling out shitty employers, and there are some very fun "oh my god this is insanity" posts there as well (like the 3-part saga of someone whose coworker stole their lunch, then blamed the person whose lunch it was for trying to poison the thief). she also has interview guides and very very good resume/cover letter tips. let her be your guide to advocating for yourself in the workplace!

A fun way to get yourself to do chores when you have adhd is to simulate a sense of panic by setting horrible deadlines that fit into other things that you’re doing.

For example, you set up a kettle of water to boil for your tea. Quick! Wipe down the whole counter before it’s done boiling, for the love of god you’re running out of time! Wipe it down! The water is almost boiling.

The water is boiling and your counter is clean. Now set your timer for your tea for three minutes and of my god there’s cups in your room! Quick! Get all the cups from everywhere in the house! Run! You’ve only got three minutes! Get all the dishes into the kitchen!

Oh would you look at that. You got all the dishes in the sink and now your tea is ready. Nice. Now you can chill with your tea.

I’ve found that little stuff like that helps me. Forcing myself into unexpected last minute deadlines. It fills up empty space and my house is a little bit cleaner.

this and also the "clean as you go" rule.

not: I'm cooking and I'm done with this bowl so I'm going to put it in the dishwasher (although this is helpful too, definitely do it) but

I'm going into the kitchen for a tea so I can take this old cup in with me. in the kitchen I heat the water and I see something that belongs in the bedroom. I move that to the bedroom and oh, look, the laundry's done, let's move it. back to the kitchen, get my tea, back to the office.

Same deal for when you need to Clean The Whole House - just clean whatever's in front of you, don't worry about making one room perfect then moving on, just keep handling the first easy thing you see.
