this may be an Unpopular Opinion (even on tumblr) but like the 8-hour workday is just Too Gotdamn Long

like even sitting in an office for eight hours a day isn’t particularly pleasant (or healthy, as we are beginning to see) but when we’re talking about doing *actual work* for that same amount time it gets pretty fucking brutal

doing literally *anything* (even leisure activities) for eight hours straight tends to be less than enjoyable but when we’re talking about things like construction, landscaping, factory work, and hell, even foodservice and retail, eight hours is a fucking ETERNITY

i might just be a lazy weak-willed bitch but honestly i think i’m not entirely wrong

[tyrannosaurus-rex]

this was being worked towards by leftist labor unions way back in the day after the time of FDRs new deal. people in the 40s and 50s were already starting to realize that we no longer actually needed an 8 hour work day or even a 5 day work week.

even with the comparatively primitive factory tech of the time we were already creating a huge amount of excess production back then and companies were making massive amounts of profit. So it already stood to reason that companies should either let their employees work less and thus each employee could work a shorter shift without lowering the yearly compensation of each employee, or in cases where businesses provide an active service they would shorten the shift but hire more people to cover the necessary operating time. but of course that would mean less money for people at the top so companies fought back hard and we ended up with nixon’s bullshit and so on and now its considered the norm for us to spend the vast majority of our lives doing work that really just amounts to waste.

The IWW realised this and were fighting for it all the way back in the 1930s. This is a take with a lot of historical and theoretical grounding, OP, so you’re standing in good stead.

I’d also like to add it’s also been studied and scientifically proven that after 6 hours, we have an extremely noticeable drop in productivity. Sweden saw nothing but benefits from a 6-hour work day, including worker productivity, happiness, and half the amount of sick-leave used when applied to nurses.

Just gonna add that the IWW is still kicking and basically anyone who is not an employer can join.

Everyday, Jango Fett wakes up in an all-white facility on a dark, isolated ocean planet inhabited by a society of near-permanently apathetic individuals, and raises a scientifically-engineered, living mirror of his younger self as a son an heir, while training millions of his other childhood doppelgängers to become killing machines ( with the aid of fellow refugees and exiles of his native culture ). All while under the watchful eye of a rich and powerful dark wizard who promised him vengeance against the galaxy that took everything he ever loved from him.

What a perfect cosmic/psychological/medical/supernatural(?) horror movie of a life.

How to bookbind your fanfic!

Part 1: From AO3 to printing

The necessary first step is turning your AO3 fanfic into booklets. Your whole book will be a bunch of booklets piled on top of each others and stitched together.

Booklet examples:

Btw, this is the official Word tutorial on how to make a booklet.

You can see there are different options. I usually do 8 pages, which is what you will see in the video. This means that a booklet of 8 pages is two sheets of paper, printed front and back, folded and one put inside the other. To have your word pages in the correct order you will need to format your word document.

Everything is in the video but here is the text for easy reading (btw the fanfic I used is Exit by schwutthing, an amazing Valjean/Javert fic)

Do not download the fanfic on AO3. Click on "Entire work" and copy paste it on word.

Format your word document. Click on File-> Margins. Select "Multiple pages: Book fold" and "Sheets per booklet: 8". Put "Gutter" to 1cm.

Double click on the empty area just above your text, on a random page of the document. This will make the "Do not download the fanfic on AO3. Click on "Entire work" and copy paste it on word.

Format your word document. Click on File-> Margins. Select "Multiple pages: Book fold" and "Sheets per booklet: 8". Put "Gutter" to 1cm.

Double click on the empty area just above your text, on a random page of the document. This will make the "Header and Footer" option appear. You can click on "Footer" and select the format for the pages' number. Always add the pages number, it will make your life easier.

Now you can justify your book. I usually justify (select all text with CTRL+A and click on Justify), but keep in mind that some documents might not enjoy passing through "justify" so double check your final document. For example, if there are lines of poetry and the author wrote into the next line without starting a new paragraph the justify option will make it weird.

Make your book pretty! I added some illustrations and blank pages. I also made the title of the fanfic bigger.

Fix the chapters' titles and notes. I clicked on Home-> Find and searched for "Chapter", so I could select on each chapter title and make it bold, and also delete the "Chapter text" added just after. You can do the same with "notes" in case you want to delete notes.

Now it is time to print! I prefer to save in pdf before, so I will do that.

IF YOU HAVE A PRINTER THAT DOES NOT PRINT BOTH SIDES

Click on print

Select "Microsoft print to pdf"

Select "Manually print on both sides"

This will create two different files pdf, one for the front pages, and one for the back pages.

Click on the file for the front pages and print them all. Do not panic if you see the pages number all over it.

Now take your printed (only on one side) block of pages and load it into your printer again, making sure that you will now print on the blank back. Open your back pages pdf file and print.

(you can do a trial with a few pages to see if everything is lining up correctly).

IF YOU HAVE A PRINTER THAT PRINT BOTH SIDES

"Click on print

Select "Microsoft print to pdf"

Select "Print on one side"

This will create a single pdf that you can print on your both-sides printer. You will see that the page are not in the order you had on the word document, but the whole file will start with page 8 (see video).

Now print!

What you want is this:

You can see that on the front you have page 8 first, page 1 after, because when folded it will end up with page 1 at the start of your booklet! And on the back of this first sheet you have 7 and 2, that will end up in the correct position.

Now you will have a lot of pages... time to fold and create your booklet! Every two sheets... you will fold as you see above.

Next post will be specifically about folding the booklet, making the holes and sewing them together.

Press release images for the SEASON 2 FINALE of Fionna and Cake, titled "The Bear and the Rose", which airs this Thursday, 25 December.

[twilightofthesandwiches]

Huntress Wizard started out seeing Fionna as mostly a means-to-an-end and not really thinking highly of her competence, so it’s no wonder that Huntress jumped on Fionna being the ‘Broken Tool’. That’s literally how she thought of her.

But it was actually Huntress herself who through her single-targeted-focus and detachment from others made herself into a ‘tool’, broken by all of the distress and fears she's been repressing all along, always retreating back to the flames of trauma from her childhood. Seeking that sadness and hurt because she doesn't know anything else.

There's actually a retroactively-obvious clue in 'The Wolves Who Wandered', Huntress Wizard is literally looking at the wrong kind of tool.

I really like how, narratively speaking, it really connects to all aspects of Huntress' arc. How the biggest hurdle in Huntress Wizard's journey was truly her emotional distance and initial inability/refusal to both value Fionna and engage with her own emotions. How it prevented her from realizing that they're not that different, both self-destructively chasing their own flames.

[twilightofthesandwiches]

I love how this moment is both Huntress Wizard, like, symbolically rejecting the crimes of the Green Wizards and going back to their original roots (pun not intended)....

Asking for Magic instead of just taking it by force.

This could relate to idea of redeeming yourself of past mistakes just like the Cosmic Owl did and Fionna is planning to do now, although this is on a less 'personal' level.

And it's also, and that's an element that's especially emphasized in the previous episode's Cold Open, this is actually another variation in this season on the concept of a True Love's Kiss.

[twilightofthesandwiches]

This is… a very Martin thing to do, isn't it?

Running away from your plane of existence because you feel like you screwed up so bad and ruined too many relationships, it's better to just leave it all behind than try to rebuild them.

[twilightofthesandwiches]

.... Fern crossing the stream in one big stride symbolizing how he has grown not just physically but also mentally to overcome the difficulties he faced in the original show...

But now Fionna is faced with very similar struggles (symbolized by how she's not Long enough to cross the stream on her own), so he quietly and casually offers her a helping hand..

But she simply does not believe she deserves any sort of help anymore...

[twilightofthesandwiches]

Huntress Wizard's roots are probably a natural power of hers, seeing as they're basically the same as the ones she used to suck up nutrients as a little creacher…

But it's only during this Season, stranded in this unfamiliar world and lacking her usual Magic, that she really started using these abilities…

To connect herself to other…

Huntress Wizard has been pushing people away all of her life, but cut off from her usual Green Wizard abilities, this adventure has forced her to use one of her most valuable natural abilities - the power to connect.

I love this so much. Every time.

[twilightofthesandwiches]

And you know what, the thing that fucks me up is that Cake wasn't that invested in saving the Sweet Spot at the start of the episode, like, she was thinking of giving up.

But she was spurred into action because of how much she cares about Fionna. Because Fionna was in trouble and she couldn't save her and she channeled all of her worry into Saving the Sweet Spot Energy because she thought this is what Fionna would've wanted. She did it for her.

And like, Fionna's encouragement and determination generally played a huge part in keeping everyone motivated and invested in the plan. Even Gary was willing to give up on his business and his dream if not for Fionna inspiring everyone to keep on fighting.

And Marshall's song was written due to the inspiration Fionna gave him in his dreams.

And Hunter, Fennel, and most importantly, DJ Flame would not have been part of the event if not for Fionna's connection with them. Even for a decision heavily influenced by her own horniness and broken heart, getting the most famous and successful guy she knows involved with this event was her idea and a huge part of why it succeeded.

I'm sure everyone involved with the event felt like she was part of it, that they couldn't have done it without her.

But Fionna is so lost in her own self-loathing, and so lost in her image of the kind of Hero that she should be that she couldn't see it, she couldn't feel it.

And that ruined everything.

It's just.... Cake did it all for her sake.

Fuck.

[twilightofthesandwiches]

Thinking about how Finn is engaging in terrible self-destructive practices directly as a result of Jake’s death while Fionna’s worst most self-destructive and toxic spiral happens just as Cake went out of commission…..

Oh wait…

Wait…
