Just trying my best @rainbowkittyblossomwings - Tumblr Blog

I would like to see more people talk about how jobs treat disabled employees.

I used to prep, wash dishes, and cook at mellow mushroom. I had chronic pain that wasn't NEARLY as bad as it is today, but it was still very debilitating. I told my employer "i cannot stand more than 4 to 6 hours. I CANNOT do shifts longer than this due to my illness." And even though i made my boundaries VERY clear, everyday i worked it was 8 hours at the least and 10 or 12 at the most. I would go up to my manager and say "look i really need to leave, my shift is over, my chronic pain is killing me." And he'd say "we really need to here, you HAVE to push through." And so i did, and after one, ONE month of that job my crps got incredibly worse to the point where i could no longer walk my dog around the block which was .5 miles. I quit, and that was FOUR years ago, and ever since that day I HAVE BEEN BEDRIDDEN AND HAVE TO USE A WHEELCHAIR. It is my biggest regret in life.

My best friend who has seen my whole journey has recently developed undiagnosed chronic pain, and she is in the EXACT same scenario i was 4 years ago. Busting her ass at a pizza place with extreme pain that hurts her so much she tells me "im in so much pain i don't even feel like a person." She doesn't feel LUCID. And her manager and coworkers are saying the same thing "if you don't help us you will let us down, we'll be in the shit."

That job thats hurting you isn't fucking worth it. I promise you no money is worth losing all your physical abilities and never getting them back. Your coworkers and boss do not give a shit about you, so don't you dare suffer for them. They will never understand your struggle and they will never try. They truly think being understaffed is worse than whatever pain you experience. They would rather you permanently damage yourself than inconvenience them. FUCK THEM. DON'T FUCKING DO IT!

I see people outing their shitty companies they worked at in the reblogs and I just want to say KEEP DOING IT

millenianthemums

these places don’t JUST not care. they are actively hostile. they want to wring every drop of labor out of you that they possibly can before you either quit or die. they guilt trip you because they know it works. do not ever let them get you with the “we NEED you we’ll never SURVIVE if you leave now” line. they will replace you at the drop of a hat. i know money is tight for everybody right now but please, don’t let them treat you like this. do the absolute least they are paying you for and understand that they are your ENEMY.

I'm getting so mad over this AITA post.

Am I crazy? So because little sister drew OC art for pride- older sister is suddenly banned from doing the same?

She doesn't even sound like she's rubbing her art into her sisters face.

So what- if little sister joins artfight, OP can't do the same because she'll get more interaction than her? If little sister joins any art trend ever, OP has to bow out to spare her feelings?

OP is being absolutely raked over the coals for being a heartless unoriginal copy cat and its ridiculous.

Am I missing something??

You're not missing something. These responses are absolutely bizarre. As somenoe who's been on both sides of this scenario in many different contexts (in terms of being the sensitive sister/being the one worried about making a sister feel bad if I do something similar as them), this is going to be a learning opportunity for OP's sister and an opportunity for growth. OP should not stifle their own creativity or hold back to coddle their sister's feelings. It's normal for siblings with similar hobbies to be jealous, but speaking as someone who's been the sensitive sister, if OP's sister loves them, she will eventually learn that it's important to be supportive of OP's hobbies, and not that everything is a competition/not everything is about her. And the fact that they have similar hobbies to begin with could be grounds for some great art collaborations.

Very, very slowly started typesetting the sgt frog 4komas. I wanted to share for the fandom even though it's not a whole chapter and only 2 pages I got done.

Thank you to @hellpastel for scanning these and making them accessible.

#I've been reading them with my mom so if anyone is like “i urgently need this page translated over others” maybe send them my way #because I am really not excited about the Pururu segment LMAO I just don't care for her and the next few pages is chibi keroro stuff #I might still do it in order because it's going to bother me otherwise #translations #sgt frog #keroro gunso #I am excited for all the kogoro and chibi keroro though #but I'm going to be real I really just want to translate every Angol Mois page #typesetting #4koma

I would like to hear your gideon opinions if you care to share

well since you asked! buckle up, because uhh this got long.

first of all, I'd just like to point out this part of our introduction to Gideon as a character:

his performance in the tent of telepathy! he clearly put a lot of effort into it (especially if you include all the stalking we find out he does to make sure his predictions are accurate) and the ENTIRE theme of his brand is essentially screaming: "I'm cute and innocent and you need to love me". this will make more sense after my next point.

which is:

Gideon's mom is utterly terrified of him. some (including the gravity falls wiki) would say that her fear of him came after he started acting out more, but I think it makes more sense if her fear of him *prompted* him to start acting out more. we can see in the show that he has two "modes" essentially, explosive rage and very carefully curated sweetness. this doesn't mean that he's pretending to be a good person, I think it makes more sense if this means he's putting in a lot of effort to be likeable (lovable) and the stress of constantly putting on a performance leads him to have a very short fuse, especially being what, 10 years old? he has very little emotional regulation.

what about his dad, you ask? well, Bud Gleeful tends to go along with whatever Gideon wants to do, and is notably pleased about the money Gideon is bringing in with his psychic tent. It seems, from an outsider's perspective, that Gideon's show is their primary source of income. no wonder Gideon thinks he can boss them around! no wonder they let him! it's a blatant reversal of power. effectively, he has no one actually parenting him.

this leads me to point number three: when Mabel breaks up with Gideon, this is what he says:

Mabel backtracks a little, telling him they can still be buddies, but then once she has the upper hand and he asks, "Really?" she just says "NO!" and (understandably so) doesn't go into much depth about the reasons why. she does mention him attacking Dipper, though.

point number four - Weirdmaggeddon:

Dipper explains why Gideon should help them rescue Mabel and stop Bill. now you can say that Dipper's very brief explanation works because of the time constraints of the episode (and you would have a very good point) but I think that it's notable that Gideon DOES follow Dipper's advice, and DOES help them, and appears to change for the better.

I would argue that this is not characteristic of a kid who is mean-spirited at heart (not that I think such a kid really, truly, exists) but rather a kid who has never had a singular good role model in his life. NO ONE has told him what he is supposed to do. he went to adult prison instead of juvy. he ran a business. it's unclear if he ever went to school. whether out of fear or permissiveness, his parents let him do whatever he wanted. this is the behavior of a child who is desperate for unconditional love and affection but has no idea how to get it. to a kid, this is a matter of life or death. it's no wonder he acts the way he does.

and I can't stress this enough - the first time someone actually takes the time to explain to him how he should behave, he LISTENS. he changes!! that's not easy! yes, it's for the plot, but when you think about the implications it really says a lot.

anyway, all this to say, Gideon is not evil, he's just fuckin 10.

Keroro 4Koma Google Drive

FINISHED AS OF 4/11/2023 hello hi! just recently i got my hands on a set of 4komas, and i decided that the best course of action would be scanning them all for the whole fandom to access. so far ive got the first half of keroro and happy friends (as well as some garuru platoon pages at the end that i couldnt wait to get to) and i will be uploading more pages over the next few days. its just that scanning is very taxing on my hands and back xP enjoy.

some of my personal highlights under cut

Here’s another song translation :> Although the Japanese name is Sukiyaki Bakudan, it has nothing to do with sukiyaki the food and everything to do with confessions of love. Actually, the “sukiyaki” part is a portmanteau of “sukisuki” (expression for being deeply in love) and “yakimochi” (jealousy). The more you know, and knowing is half the battle. I didn’t indicate who was singing for most of the lines because I can’t tell the girls’ singing voices apart…I did label the one part of the song with spoken dialogue, though. (Others with Japanese knowledge, spot any mistakes? Feel free to correct me if I’m way, way off with anything.) TINY UPDATE: I missed one last spoken line because I didn’t hear the last 10 seconds of the song like a dumbass. It’s there now
