Victor Hugo Has Been Defeated After 278 Hours

Ok, due to popular demand, I have linked all the different parts of The Monday Period within the posts so people can find the other parts easier. I also took the opportunity to reupload the pages in higher quality

Personal space? Nope - never heard of it.

Is that…… them

YALL THERES MORE TO THE SERIES

“Et tu, Brutie?”

Ides of March, one of my morbid history magical girls! Her best friend is Olga of Kiev

You gotta be careful with the YouTube algorithm because you watch ONE Gorillaz music video once and think “okay, guess that was neat, anyway-“ and then suddenly YouTube thinks it’s the only band you will ever enjoy

be sure to leave out milk and cookies for brutus tonight

You can leave as many cookies as you want but he’ll only et two

this remains the funniest addition anyone’s made to one of my posts

oh yes it’s that time of year again

“It doesn’t help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn’t literally work you to death” like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who’ve worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it’s a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

Death by spreadsheet is an acceptable degree of separation for most in middle management. They can sleep at night without guilt for what they’ve done, because the system charitably setup twelve degrees of separation between their choices and the real-world harm. But do not be fooled, their choices set that harm into motion. Without their reckless disregard for human life, the harm would not be done.

I used to work at a TV station in Ohio. On weekends, we only had an 11pm news broadcast. Not much happened on weekends, ya know? I worked Monday-Friday 9-5, but someone on the weekend shift quit, so I also had to come in at 9pm on Sat/Sun to work the 11pm news. It was brutal. I worked seven days a week, even if two of them were ~3hrs.

This was a particularly bad winter. One Saturday, we had a level 2 snow emergency: That means you should only travel if you absolutely must. Like, it’s not uncommon for cops to pull you over in level 2 emergencies to ask where you’re going and why. It is genuinely dangerous to drive in that much snow.

I told my boss as much, how I almost crashed on the way home at 12:30am after a news broadcast. I told him I would need to call off if there were a snow emergency again during a night snow.

He told me, point blank, “If you ever call me about the goddamn snow, I will take it as a call of resignation.”

And that was that! The very next Saturday, snow fell again. It was a level 2, but would become level 3 by sunup. Level 3 means driving is literally illegal except for ambulances and snow plows. I stared out the window, watching the snow, and I had to make a choice.

“Will I die for this? Will I kill myself to keep this job?” I made $11/hr.

Yes, managers work you to death. That’s their job.

Every single labor protection is written in the blood of those who were literally worked to death, and business owners and profiteers would claw those protections back with glee if they could. They will squeeze every red cent from your body if they are allowed, and write off your death for an insurance payout that they’ll try to pocket for themselves while hiring your replacement for half the pay they gave to you.

No need to RSVP, we know you’ll be there 😉

Savor finding cards like Jacinthe and more in the Perfect Order expansion, coming March 27 💚🖤

Tumblr has found the Garf comic. Godspeed and thanks for indulging my periodic table fascination

Umamusume is an extremely funny series to introduce to someone because not only is the core premise absurd (gijinkas of famous Japanese racehorses who run races that mirror the careers of the horses they’re based on while also being idols), but it feels like every other writing and worldbuilding decision is somehow even more absurd than the last

• The series takes place at what is ostensibly a high school but the umas have careers that occur years if not decades apart. The umas do not age, no one appears to ever leave Tracen Academy if they don’t want to and there is no satisfying explanation for how this works
• Despite, again, all of then ostensibly being in high school, some umas act like grown adults who pay taxes and others act like they’re no more than 8 years old
• Canonically, no one gambles on the uma races.
• The creators had to patch some of the story dialogue because they accidentally created a timeline where the modern day Republic of Ireland has a monarchy
• Super Creek wants you to do age regression with her because she likes playing mommy
• Admire Vega had a twin sister who was aborted in the womb and said dead fetus is now a literal ghost that actively haunts her
• Matikanefukukitaru also has a dead sister and she isn’t being haunted but she does have religious psychosis
• The creators get permission from the owners of all the horses before putting them in the game. The owner of Daiwa Scarlet allegedly approved her inclusion in the game on the one condition that she be given bigger boobs than her main rival, Vodka
• Vodka drinks tea from a flask
• Agnes Digital writes erotic friend fiction of the other umas
• Streets have dedicated uma lanes
• The Statue of Liberty is an umamusume
• Long phone

Isekai but the portal is in the dollar store garden aisle so there’s gnomes everywhere

I love when people ask “how did you learn this skill?” I just started, there’s no secret. that’s it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.

It’s not autism acceptance if you need to hear that it is autism in order to accept it.

Took me a minute to process what this says. But yes this, very much.

If something needs to be called The Right Word in order to tick your Internal Tolerance Box then it’s not acceptance it’s lip service.

“can our ai assistant help you?” “give our ai mode a try !” “our ai assistant is your new best friend !”

THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT

1. wait until you’re absolutely sure the ink is dry

2. wrong

men and women are not opposites. men and women are not enemies. men and women are two parts of a broad coalition which fights against a mutual enemy: inkjet printers

Today I learned 3D animation is a horror show outside the camera’s field of view.

Just to add context, the director wanted the scene to use an 85mm lens which is slightly telephoto. Telephoto lenses give a very intimate feel because they compress the scene. Background and foreground objects can appear larger at longer focal lengths.

But that compression can also make objects look the wrong size in context with the subject depending on the framing.

This is done in live action as well using another person’s hands in front of the camera.

Or sometimes they create giant fake hands like in Hellboy.

they did this in lord of the rings too!

via @suppermariobroth :

“In the main menu of Mario Power Tennis, Toad is present to explain the selection options. It appears as though Toad is close to the background and roughly the same size as the icons. However, moving the viewpoint reveals that Toad is actually extremely tiny and extremely close to the camera (note Toad near the left edge of the screen in the bottom image).”
