Everything older people say millennials aren’t doing–shopping, golfing, buying houses, getting married, having kids, dining out–is related to an entire generation having less money than their parents.

I work 60 hours a week so I can afford to live in my car. Like, what is even happening further up the economy that they think these are choices.

why would they use that image for this

jeez what the hell that makes this seem even more disrespectful

i don’t like that people are making jokes on this post and sharing it around as a joke. the headline is missing this info but apparently she attempted suicide on july 8, and has been in decline until she was taken off life support yesterday. it’s an incredibly sad thing and i was just bewildered at how weird and disrespectful their choice to use that particular image for the headline was instead of something more recent. so here’s a better picture:

Every girl has had the experience where a creepy guy asks for our number and we don’t want to give it to him, but we also don’t want to get gutted in a back alley. “Give him a fake number!” I hear you call, okay and then he says “okay let me call you real quick!” Because they are learning. “Give them your number and then block them!” Okay and then they can plug it into something like Spokeo, pay $10 and know everything about you. So what do you do?

First pick a fake name, I use Jessica, then download the Google Voice app, hook it up to your email, pick a number, and set up a fake greeting with your fake name. You can set it to ring your actual phone like a normal call or text but they don’t have real info on you.

Go forth and don’t get murdered, ladies!

Tumblr deleted my long ass rant while I was in the middle of writing it so you're spared and will only get a summed up version

Long story short; your abs are supposed to be covered with a healthy, protective layer of fat. The shape Jason Momoa is in during his movies is achieved by a diet designed to lower his body fat to unhealthy numbers, dehydrating him and enhancing his abs with make up. This is what ripped, muscular, healthy person looks like on their off time. If you think this is a dad bod, for the love of everything that is holy, shut up and absolutely never comment on a man's body ever again. I mean hell, you can still see his damn v-line, what fucking dad bod has that?!

Don't believe me? Google some bodybuilders who are off their contest diet. The men who literally make a living for having defined muscles. For 360 days a year, they do not look like the way you think they do. During a bodybuilding contest, these men's body fat is under 7%, they're dehydeated and covered in fake tan that helps the muscles show up. And it's literally only for that day, because it's extremely unhealthy. Same goes for actors who are known for being ripped - they're at their worst when they're filming. This exact same shit happened with Vin Diesel few years ago with people getting a paparazzi shot of his "beer belly" and I'm genuinely worried of the young men who grow up in this society thinking being muscular means having defined abs 24/7.

Jason Momoa looks ripped and healthy, yall are just blind with unrealistic standards.

Do boys know???? How EXHAUSTING it is?????? To be AROUND them??????

Like, I’m here to vent right now. I was the oldest in my house, and the only girl. When I was growing up, I did ALL my work by myself.

And when THEY got to the he I was, when I started doing chores? Well. They were the youngest. They needed HELP.

So I helped them. At 8 years old, I’d clean the entire living room, vacuum, sweep, dust, put away toys, dig in and under the couches. No tv while I worked, because that was distracting. No help, because I had to learn personal responsibility.

When HE was 8 years old? TV on. Zoning out with his mouth hanging open every five minutes with whatever he was picking up in his hand. Refused to sweep. MELTDOWNS over putting toys away. And of COURSE I had to help him, poor little muffin, because he hasn’t been taught HOW.

So of course he shoves everything under the couch and runs off and I HAVE TO FINISH IT, because “you’re the oldest, you have to be responsible.”

Zoom forwards a few years. I tell him, you need to put soap in the sink when you do dishes. The water needs to be warm, or the oil won’t come off. See this? There’s still food stuck on. Here, I’ll show you how.

Do they listen? FUCK no. They all do it wrong and put them away dirty and I HAVE TO DO IT, PLUS ALL THE NEW SHIT.

Okay, fine. Ill do all the dishes forever from now on. Can you PLEASE clean the bathroom, then?

NOPE. Telling me you’re “DONE” with whole ass globs of toothpaste in the sink, because you refuse to listen when I tell you how to brush your teeth, too. Never clean the toilet. Never sweep the floor. Never wipe the counter.

I tell him, “dude, you didn’t do it. Go back and finish it properly.” He says, “I DID, I SWEAR TO GOD, show me ONE THING I MISSED”. And I DO. I show him FIFTY things he missed. I show him how to do it right. I demonstrate. I explain my reasoning. Does he listen? NOPE. IM A HUGE BITCH NITPICKING DETAILS. BOY THERE IS PISS ON THIS FLOOR, THAT IS NO “”“DETAIL”“”.

Fast forwards. I’m living independent, do my laundry, cook dinners, clean my house. HE hasn’t mastered SHAMPOO. Doesn’t clean for SHIT. Doesn’t believe in bedsheets. Thinks pillowcases and clothes that fit are a government conspiracy. Smells like the back end of whatever animal he ate instead of a vegetable this month, because I was full of it when I told him about balanced nutrition, I guess.

Now. NOW. Visiting home, different brother. “Dude I told you three times this week, just toss your work clothes in the basket and I’ll wash them, you smell like ass and I’m sick of you not doing it yourself”. And the ATTITUDE. BUDDY IM TRYING TO PHYSICALLY PULL YOU FROM A BURNING CAR AND YOU WONT EVEN DO ME THE DECENCY OF COOPERATING. WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING ME.

Literally FIVE SECONDS LATER Brother number THREE. “Dude you pissed all over the bathroom seat and didn’t flush I’m gonna need you to get on that”. Nope. Gonna keep playing video games. Wait ten minutes and check again. “DUDE. YOU TURNED THE BATHROOM INTO A PISS N SLIDE. FLUSH AND WIPE. COME ON.”

Go downstairs and find out Dad Dearest has used a can of spray paint indoors. Again. For the sixth fucking time. Overspray on fucking everything. Could not be stopped. Even hid all the cans after round 3. “You’re making a big deal out of nothing”. Oh, the Fuck I am? Eat shit. Grown ass man SPRAYPAINTING INDOORS, NO VENTILATION, NO CIRCULATION, NO MASK, NO OPEN WINDOWS, JUST LETTING THE FUCK LOOSE. OKAY. ALRIGHT. COOL. FUCK BREATHING I GUESS. FURNITURE LOOKS LIKE A BIRD SHAT IN A FAN BUT WHAT THE HELL DO I KNOW RIGHT

I go to work. Sweating my ASS off. Guy Saunters over to check out my ass and asks me when I get off. I GET OFF AT 9 P FUCKIN M ASSHOLE, GET OUT OF MY FACE, I KNOW YOUR ASS IS HOMELESS AND UNEMPLOYED AND YOU GOT A BABY YOU DONT PAY FOR, EAT SHIT. I’m here to pay my bills and earn respect and you see an easy Fuck just WAITING for your mediocre ass to swoop in? The AUDACITY.

Old man numero uno, you know the one that never paid child support when I was growing up? Offers to pick up my mail and fucking LOSES MY TAX RETURN. *AND* MY DRIVER’S LICENCE. Hey no biggie you can just drive me for a while until I get a new one right? SIKE YOU LOST ***YOUR**** LICENCE ON A DUI.

Fuck. FUCK. Girls my age and younger dropping out of school for full-time jobs doing their best to raise babies while Daddy wanders around scratching his balls and bumming cigarettes.

And my Christ, old farmers telling me “as hon, shouldn’t cut your hair so short, gotta give a man something to run his fingers through”. ACTUAL QUOTE. As if I should give a FUCK what some theoretical dream date might PREFER I DO WITH MY BODY when it’s balls hot and I feel like I’m wearing a goddamn fur hat.

Then, “Careful darlin, never gonna get a date with an attitude like that”. YOU FUCKING *PROMISE*, OLD MAN???

Mother FUCKER. You know the real reason I never wanna marry a guy? Why I m so against “settling down and giving you some grandkids”, mom????? BECAUSE IVE BEEN PLAYING MOMMY FOR FIFTEEN GODDAMNED YEARS AND IM *****TIRED***** NOW.

Aw, but don’t I wanna find a nice man? Someone who can tell me to grow my hair out so he can yank it when we have mediocre sex, leave his filthy jeans on the floor of my house and call me a nag when I tell him to do this own goddamn laundry once a week? Boy I can’t wait to get knocked up and spend a while fucking year in various stages of pain and discomfort so I can pop out His Kid keep doing what I already wasted my childhood on. And I can’t even give em my own damn last name

FUCK that. I’m gonna drink tea in a clean house that I paid for myself, and get old doing whatever the hell I want. Dye my hair neon green and paint the walls red, I’m no grown bastard’s fucking Mommy anymore

shading colour tips

hey yall its me the Art Mom™ to help you shade pretty

rule 1: DO NOT SHADE WITH BLACK. EVER. IT NEVER LOOKS GOOD. 

red- shade with a slightly darker shade of purple

orange- slightly darker and more saturated shade of red

yellow- i think like..a peach could work but make it a really light peach

green- shade with darker and less saturated shade of blue or teal

blue- shade with purple

purple- a shade thats darker than the purple you’re using and maybe a little pink (MAYBE blue)

pink- darker shade of red

white- a really light lavender or blue..or i guess any really light colour??

black- okay listen dont use pure black to colour anything unless you want to leave it with flat colours because you cant really shade black lol

grey- a slightly darker shade of purple or blue (less saturated)

brown- slightly darker and less saturated shade of purple or red

aaaaand thats all i got lol. let me know if there is anything i should add to this list!!

Fake ICE Posters

Hey everyone. So @vaspider the deadset legend brought to people’s attention that there’s a Spanish translation for “If ICE Agents Show Up At Your Door” that has been maliciously doctored to say things like “open the door for them” and “answer all their questions honestly” etc. And some dickhead stole those images from Spider’s post and made their own, all like “so uhm va//spi//der is bad and not a good person so here are the posters and here’s a really poor visual for how to tell them apart.” SO! Here’s MY post, saying 1) Spider’s awesome and they deserve love and hugs for the week they’ve had. And 2) here’s a very easy way to visually distinguish between the fake translation and the genuine one, because most folks have been told to look for “ACLU” vs “ALCU” or whatever, and that’s confusing and unclear.

For the fake, look for “Tu cooperación será apreciada” which can easily be translated to “Your cooperation will be appreciated” which should be a big and clear enough red flag.

Also look at “SOLO SE HONESTO” – Just be honest. Like, fuck these guys.

Really, just look for any instance of the word “honest” in there, and that should be clear that it’s a fake.

The real translation has two instances of these four words underlined and asterisked, with post script at the bottom.

It also says at the bottom: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS – KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

I hope this helps folks like me who don’t do so well with letters and have an easier time with recognising visual patterns.

[vaspider]

This is an amazing post! The only thing that would make it better would be if one of the amazing Spanish-speakers out there would kindly translate the instructions for what to look for so that we can present a fully bilingual explanation. :) 

Thank you for making a great concise summary with lots of good visuals! 

[winter-lele]

Aaaaaa! ¡Olvidé la traducción! Lo siento para mi español porque mi primero idioma es inglés y soy chilena también jajaja.

La imagen falsa dice ‘¡Tu cooperación será apreciada!’ y ‘SOLO SE HONESTO.’ ¡¡¡Estate atento por esas palabras!!! Sola la falsa tiene esas palabras. Mira:

La imagen real tiene asteriscos después de las palabras ‘firmada por un juez’ dos veces. Y al final hay una postdata y las palabras “CONOCE TUS DERECHOS”

English speakers, please reblog this version with the translation!

Me: No one is hiring me

Adults: you’re just not trying hard enough

Me: oh yea, sorry about that. Let me apply “harder” this time. I’ll be sure to write my contact info extra “hard” this time. I’ll make sure to touch up my resume and make it hella “hard” this time around too.

[twentiesordie]

[star-anise]

Adults:  You just need to hit the pavement, knock on some doors, call the hiring manager!

Every job application ever:  PLEASE NO UNSOLICITED VISITS OR PHONE CALLS.

[lemonsharks]

Fact: Our reception pool forwards the names of people who call unsolicited on to HR, who puts the names on a DO NOT HIRE, CANNOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS list.

[othercat2]

This is what is the most terrifying about re-beginning the job search.

[knight-of-trash]

Fact: My brother was a store manager at AT&T for several years, and handled the hiring process. People that would call and call about the job wouldn’t get hired because, “They seemed to be the kind of people that would constantly need attention on the job, or wouldn’t make a good fit in customer service, because they don’t have the patience to wait for us to call them back.”

[lesbiangender-deactivated201908]

Meanwhile I’ve always been taught to do exactly those things because it “shows that you care and take initiative”

[thatdisasterauthor]

Here’s how I got my new job:

Made a profile on Indeed.

Crammed that fucker with every damn skill and job I have ever had. That time I ran roller-coasters for a month? On there. “Property Managing” my mother’s rental for six months because she was too lazy to drive over? On there. ALSO. If you are skilled in, say, Photoshop, don’t JUST put Photoshop as a skill. Also put Adobe Suite, Adobe Photoshop, etc. Put every possible term for your skill under the skills. Google skill lists and start slapping them in there if you have even a tiny bit of skill in them.

Downloaded the Indeed app on my phone.

Set up a saved search to show me all full-time jobs paying $15 or more per hour in my area, and set it to only show jobs with instant apply. I did not narrow it down by field or anything else. Just full-time, my area, $15/hr.

Wrote up a three sentenceish generic cover letter that was basically “I am good at customer service, client management, and handling the variety of tasks this job will involve. I will be available on X date and would love to speak to you about this position at your company.” But slightly more professionally put.

Just fucking clicked apply on everything. Anything that sounded like something I’d be willing and probably able to do. Like, I wasn’t applying to mechanic jobs or anything. But front-desk at a mechanic shop? Sure. Towing dispatcher? Sure. Print shop coordinator for some fancy real estate agency? Sure.

The beauty of Indeed’s mobile/quick apply is that once you’ve set up your profile on there clicking apply is literally all you have to do for about 75% of the quick apply jobs. Some will have a couple additional questions like how long you’ve done certain things, or when you’re available to start. Some have random fun questions like your favorite superhero (usually startups). You click that button and off your resume goes.

I spent about an hour every day doing this, submitted several hundred applications in the process, and heard back from…maybe 20. Got an interview at 4 or 5. Got hired at an insurance company that pays RIDICULOUSLY WELL. Took about a month.

Do I want to sell in insurance? Not particularly. But this job will support me, my art, my ability to buy a house, and PROVIDE RESIDUAL INCOME ONCE I RETIRE. Which. If I play my cards right I could do in as little as ten years.

Your mileage may vary with this technique, but given the way job hunting is set up now carpet bombing an application site like Indeed is always worth a shot. I will note that when I came across a job I thought sounded extra interesting and more in line with the fields I wanted to be in I’d save the application instead of applying, then take the time that night to put together a better full application.

Good luck. Job hunting is terrible.

This is all solid advice. One more piece of advice is be on the lookout for any career groups. If you manage to join any they can be a huge help whether it be making connections or just helping to keep your head on straight.
