[ID: Tweet by Sigrid Snow @SnowySiggi that reads: Weâve heard leading scientists explain for a year that we can at any time decide to go into a 2 week national quarantine, pay people to stay home, and have the virus under control.
South Korean beauty standards take shit to the next. Fucking. Level. Women are evaluated in totality based on every minor physical detail and whether it matches the ideal to the point where their decision to go under the knife for procedures the likes of blepharoplasty (surgery on their eyelids) is a main determinant of whether they get a job. For them, shit like this is an expectation. Fuck that garbage, burn it up ladies.
In Korea you are literally REQUIRED to have a headshot with your application. Your physical appearance is a major vetting point in the interview. Applicants have literally been told to bleach their skin for jobs. Seoul is the plastic surgery capital of the world.
This is HUGE for them. Support them. Even if you love makeup, their beauty culture is TOXIC. Support this movement
Actually, there is nothing âpussyâ about being scared of Minecraft, and the game actually offers a really good horror atmosphere. The idea that you are alone in an inherently hostile and alien world where there is nothing similar to you at all, is something that plenty of horror games uses.Â
All you need is some good horror music, which Minecraft offers with disk 13, and you have a good and scary game.Â
The idea that only blood and gore is needed for horror is a very basic idea of what horror is. The atmosphere is much more important to horror, and Minecraft actually has a great horror atmosphere.
You know what I am gonna add on to this.
Facts that make Minecraft scary
The villagers look nothing like you, yet the zombies do. What are the zombies, for they cannot be dead villagers? Scary
The Endermen being eldritch abominations that just travel around collecting blocks for some unknown purpose, becoming hostile should you look in their eyes. Scary
Literally having a hell that you can travel to, where you can harvest the souls of the dead in a convenient block form. Scary
Traveling too far until you reach the edge of the world where reality breaks down and nothing makes sense. Scary
The darkness being a source of creatures that serve no purpose but to do one thing and one thing only, and that is to kill. Scary
The idea that the only thing keeping you safe is light and that no matter where you are if it is dark they will get you. Scary
The idea that there is not a single living creature like you in the vastness of this world, and that you are ultimately alone. Scary.
if you canât eat cilantro bc it âtastes like soapâ thats literally just your fault and no one should have to cater to you thats a personal issue
Home health aides are underpaid, overworked, and underprotected.
The median annual salary for a home health aide was $24,200 in 2018, above the $16,460 federal poverty level for a family of two. Thatâs about $11.57 an hour. Cooks, janitors, and farmworkers make more than home care workers do, and they arenât caring for the sick and elderly. [...]
But itâs not just about low pay. The majority of home care workers get zero benefits.
About 88 percent of domestic workers donât get paid time off, sick time, employer-sponsored health insurance, or any other benefits. Angelica, for example, never gets a day off.
âTake a day off? And miss paying a bill? I canât really afford to take a day off,â she said. [...]
Yet sheâs one of the lucky ones. Because Angelica is part of a co-op instead of working at a for-profit company, she gets to keep about two-thirds of the money clients pay for her services. The co-op charges clients $18.50 per hour if they need more than nine hours of care each week; Angelica gets $12.50 of that. The rest covers the co-opâs administrative costs and goes toward a pool of money that caregivers will split at the end of the year.
Thatâs not common. About two-thirds of all home care workers are employed by businesses that take a huge cut of the earnings. For example, in New Mexico, the median pay for home health aides is $9.50 an hour, but most agencies charge clients up to $20 an hour, said Adrienne Smith, director and CEO of New Mexico Direct Caregivers Coalition, which advocates for home care workers. [...]
On a recent Wednesday, Smith led a session for five women who work at a group home for people with developmental disabilities. The point of the training was to help the caregivers deal with difficult clients.
âWhat do you think is most challenging for you, emotionally, in these settings?â she asked the group of women seated around the kitchen table.
âWhen we get hit,â answered one woman.
âWe tend to take a lot of physical abuse, mental abuse, you know,â said another. âWeâre called every name in the book and get spit on. Stuff can get pretty physical. When a client is having a behavior, they have rights, so we canât do anything to protect ourselves ... we have to literally just stand there and get the physical abuse. And thatâs very frustrating.â [...]
âIt messes with you mentally,â one caregiver said. âIt makes you traumatized.â
âIt makes you question if this is something you want to commit to. Is this a place I want to be at?â said another, adding that itâs normal to get bruises and black eyes at work. âItâs degrading.â [...]
Nearly every expert interviewed for this story pointed to historical reasons to explain why home care work is difficult: American society has always undercompensated the work of women, immigrants, and people of color. [...]
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938, for example, excluded both groups from the right to earn the minimum wage or get overtime pay. Farmworkers and domestic workers were left out as a concession to Southern lawmakers, whose constituents were highly invested in paying low wages to personal servants and farm laborers. [...]
Lawmakers amended the FLSA in the 1970s to cover most domestic workers, but not live-in housekeepers, nannies, and home health aides who provide âcompanionship services.â Because most caregivers are also companions, the amendment meant that home health aides â once again â were excluded from minimum wage and overtime rules.
Both groups were also left out of the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, which gave workers the right to form labor unions and organize for better working conditions.
When Congress passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, some domestic workers were left out again. Thatâs because the law didnât include protections for workers whose employers have fewer than 15 employees. To this day, itâs not illegal under federal law for employers to sexually harass their nannies and housekeepers, or to discriminate against them based on race, religion, gender, or national origin.
The same thing happened when Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act in 1970. The landmark labor law, which established a workerâs right to a safe and healthy work environment, didnât extend that right to domestic workers and farmworkers.
This is not a tiny part of the workforce: About 2 million people in the US do domestic work, according to the National Domestic Workers Alliance.
