Rest assured that you’re all better artists than Butch Hartmann, who works within the industry. 

You are correct

There was a concerted effort on this website to try to convince everyone that Robert Downey Jr was sexy. I didn’t forget. I won’t forgive.

Ok, but yeah. I want to work more than 15 hours a week. I genuinely love the challenge with what I do. 15 seems, oddly tiny? Where did this number come from?

the whole point of capitalism is to maximize both the demand and the supply for a product, in many cases creating new avenues of consumption and production that didn’t exist prior. Huge amounts of resources and time are used up to synthesize unnecessary activities and products. Simplicity is the sharpest knife.

The reason you want more hours is because the hours you’re working don’t pay you enough to live off. Even in a less radical change in a closer future should mean more pay for less hours so you don’t need to sleep in your car between 12 hour shifts at an Amazon warehouse because you don’t have enough money to eat and afford rent.

Can attest. Mentally, my happiest work weeks are the ones where I work a 5hr shift, 4 days a week. If I could sustain that without fear of its impact on my finances, I absolutely would. For my job, that’s exactly enough time to do a fair share of the baking work, clean up after myself, and go home. That model fits the 8/8/8 more realistically, as I spent 2hrs before work getting ready (waking up, eating, travel, etc) and 1hr after traveling home and decompressing. 8hrs of my day dedicated to my job, which brings food to my community. On weeks like that, I feel most able to dedicate time to rest, leisure, my hobby job (writing), and my house and relationship. 20hrs a week, tops. Perfect

I could imagine seeing this in a class

I think we're all grown up enough to admit that pink actually is a nice color and the only reason people ever convinced themselves it isn't is because girls, often young girls, like it

LIghthouse keepers will never be memorialized like soldiers or cops because they didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job) but they’re like, heroes who saved untold lives through discipline and self-sacrifice doing an impossible lonely job and I’m worked up about  it 

Clinging to a swaying tower in freezing, driving rain, risking death by everything from pneumonia to a fall to a fucking lightning strike to keep the lantern going when you don’t even KNOW if someone is out on the water!! Working! Class! Heroes!

Love very much the sentiment of this post and also love the specific wording of “didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job)” because what lighthouse keepers did off hours is their own business

being gender nonconforming is great bc straight people think i'm edgy and intimidating but lgbt people see me and immediately think i'm friend shaped :)

New gender: comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable
