Always rising from the ashes; Stronger than before

This is a blog for my interests. Critical Role has taken over my life. Talk to me about it, so I can vent about how much I love everything involved in that show. I also post a large quantity of One Piece and Wheel of Time, but anything I find interesting will be put here. 30/M/Midwest USA

The United Auto Workers are also negotiating new contracts with the big three US car manufacturers and have announced that they’re prepared to strike if they can’t get a fair deal.

Just so we’re all on the same page with the writer’s strike.

If during the strike, it’s announced about AI generated shows. We are not watching them. Not even out of curiosity. Let them fail every AI generated show they try make.

The human voice can not be replaced by AI. Don’t let them try.

found a twitter tweet that was like “oh yeah content warning hatoful boyfriend has a lot of gore and violence” and every single person in the notes/retweets/qrts/whatever the fuck terms twitter has was going “WHAT THE FUCK IT HAS WHAT” and i find that hilarious because. large amounts of gore and violence is a tremendous understatement about the amount of stuff that goes down in hatoful boyfriend

my full trigger list for hatoful boyfriend (and its sequel), for anyone curious is:

  • war and genocide
  • suicide (including coerced suicide)
  • murder (including decapitation and dismemberment)
  • cannibalism
  • guns
  • terminal illness and biological weaponry
  • persuing monster-based horror
  • unreality
  • scientific experimentation-based horror
  • racism
  • childhood trauma and parent death
  • infanticide (or more accurately, bird abortion)
  • emotional manipulation
  • unhealthy/codependent relationships
  • death of a romantic interest
  • twisted morality and gray morality
  • general heartbreakery

just on the off chance anyone reading this doesn’t know what Hatoful Boyfriend is

The union busting firms are scared

As a fine dining cook, I found work in a union workplace around a year ago.

My 40 hours a week are guaranteed except for Jan/feb/mar when there’s not enough customers, I get paid almost twice what I did at any other restaurant, if I work overtime, (more than 8 hours in one day, or more than 40 in a week), I actually get overtime pay, (and it’s 1.5x my normal rate!).

I get holiday pay, and in addition I get to either bank or pay out my holidays if I work those days, (either a paid day off when I want it, in addition to the holiday pay, or I get paid an add’l 8 hours at 1.5x that week). I also get two floating holidays, 4 paid random sick days, 2 paid family sick days, and 4 paid “doctor’s note” sick days, (paid out by our health insurance), as well as general allowance to take as many unpaid sick days as I want without worrying for my job security. (I’ve been told that taking multiple months off is where we start to be concerned about abuse, so if I want to do that, I can go through our leave of absence procedures instead, where I’m allowed three 2-week periods a year generally for whatever reason I want, (If my manager wants to disagree, he has to get the union president’s approval), and after that it’s up to my manager to decide if he’ll accept them).

I get two weeks of paid vacation time a year, and an add’l week per year for every 5 years I work there.

We get our legally mandated breaks, which, I know that sounds like a low bar, but taking anything other than a smoke break in a kitchen?!?! Unheard of! I get two 15′s and a lunch every shift! I get to sitdown and rest my legs and not get flak for it!

I get a bonus at the end of the year, there’s official procedures for if my manager isn’t happy with me or wants to get rid of me, (three meetings, during which my union representative has to be present), (and getting rid of my classification doesn’t work, there’s rules for how someone ‘bumps’ other people if classifications are gotten rid of), and severance pay for when full-time employees that are downsized out of the company, there’s a pension plan, like …
Guys, I have a 40-page handbook which details all of the rights my union has won me, and believe me, I’ve never had any of these at any prior workplace.

And you know what my union dues are? $4 a paycheck.

Of course I’m going to pay my union dues for all of those benefits.

Reblogging for this incredibly thorough explanation of what it’s like to actually have a contract in place at a union workplace. I reblog a fair number of posts about how people should organize, but if you’re like me, you might not know exactly what that can get you until you’ve actually gone through the process. Every contract is different because you bargain for what makes sense for your particular workplace, and every few years you re-negotiate with the employer to improve things in the next contract, but some things (like the right to have union representation when you talk to your boss about leave or discipline) are universal.

It’s worth every penny of your dues, I promise.

Wite-Out is a brand of white out/correction fluid/liquid paper. The colloquial ‘white-out’ probably derives from the Wite-Out brand.

This praying mantis standing its ground 

(via)

The thing about this that absolutely kills me is the person operating the excavator is gently trying to shoo the mantis away with the giant machine and the mantis is still trying to pick a fight with it

Demolition man: shoo, I don’t want to hurt you

Preying Mantis: THAT’S WHAT A FUCKIN WIMP WOULD SAY, FIGHT ME GERALD

wait how fucking big is that thing

mantis can get p big my friend

the bigger they are the more fire in their souls

fuck it, Toshiro Mifune fancam set to Kate Bush

hey op, what’s it like being a goddamned genius?

every so often, someone reblogs this from me and not OP (hi @majortomwaits!) and i get to look through the notes before i go cry bc mifune was So Handsome. highlights include:

  • young folk who have never beheld him discovering his beauty
  • lesbians and straight men saying “if i had to pick a dude”
  • wailing and gnashing of teeth, generally
  • “this was BEFORE stranger things, the vibes are that strong”
  • (My New Favorite) HE IS SO GENDER (y'all are so right, the man Performed Masculinity like no other, but then The Vulnerability)
  • agreeing with me that OP has the biggest, juiciest brain ever
  • Lucas wanted him for Obi-Wan Kenobi *rolling in the deep plays in the background*

I’m only slightly crying.

I’m completely crying.

my 16 yearr old son is watching over my shoulder and we’re both crying

I use this in my cheder classes at synagogue when we’re learning about Gemilut Chasidim, acts of loving kindness. It’s really important to start the message off with the point that no religion corners the market on that concept. This is an amazing and life affirming commercial of all things. Brilliant.

I’M NOT CRYING YOU’RE CRYING

gumball snaps and kills james charles

god i know this website will call literally anything feral but this man really did embody the spirit of a rabid animal

For those of you that don’t know this is the sweet and loving kid that is the current voice of Gumball for Cartoon Network. He has a youtube channel and in there you will not find anything like this, because as I said this is a very sweet kid but he just goes completely ape shit when he saw the opportunity to kill James Charles
