TL;DR – Twitter thread by a library worker about a woman who pulled hundreds of books out of a library dumpster and donated them to an underserved school. THOSE BOOKS WERE THROWN OUT FOR A REASON. Like outdated science, racism, and misogyny. #ContextMatters  [The news article is about a different woman who pulled books from a landfill to hoard/sell – which triggered the Twitter writer’s flashback.]

So Billie Eilish, a recording artist who makes millions with her creative work, has teamed up with Adobe, a multi-billion company, to bring us a contest where artists make merch designs for her for free, and only the winner gets paid. Sorry, a “prize”. And part of the “prize” is exposure.

Oh, and if you submit an entry, whether you win or not, you give them the right to use your work.

Contests like this are a scam. They’re exploitative. Always. They’re a way to get people to do work for free, and only pay the "winner”.

Billie Eilish makes music. She is a creative professional herself who makes money, a lot of money, with her art. She can afford to pay an artist to design her tour shirt. Adobe can afford to pay artists to do design work.

If she wants to give fans the opportunity to work for her - just invite portfolio submissions. Let artists send you work they’ve already done, pick one whose style you like, and hire them to make a design for you. Easy.

This, though? This is trying to use her fame to get people to work for her for free. This is trying to exploit her fans. Note how the key selling point they picked for the tweet isn’t the cash prize, it’s the exposure. This entire thing is based on the hope that people will be so excited to have their work officially featured by Billie Eilish that they’ll work for free just for the chance.

Don’t enter “art contests” like this. It’s not a contest, it’s a scam.

I want to talk about the "ugh men are useless" statement I constantly hear.

Men aren't useless. They can cook, they can clean and they can help with childcare (among many other things).

If a man can't, it's because he's made a decision not to.

"He just doesn't see it" (mess etc). Yes he does. He just excepts for someone else to do or fix it.

"He just lacks common sense". No he doesn't. Turning on a washing machine or hanging out the laundry is not hard, and if for some reason he doesn't know how to do it, he has a phone and access to the internet that can help him figure it out.

Your man is not useless. He's just lazy and entitled, whether that be consciously or not.

Men that are "useless" are raised with the exception that others will pick up after them or will do their job for them, and society continues to enable those attitudes.

Stop setting the bar so low.

Demand better; because he can do better.

The new episode of wynonna earp was so good, and was so cool to actually watch it live since I watched 1 and 2 on amazon. But also I need a gif or meme or something of Nicole saying "why isn't she glamored" cause that was really funny to me and I was fucking cackling.

Waves: Thats my girlfriend you blood sucking bitch!

Nicole: Damn straight 😉

Me: Anything but…

When I said “Hey! I’d love to learn more about Nicole Haught!” I meant like, what’s her favorite TV show. Not, “I survived the Cult of Bulshar.”
