My Bosses Sometimes Will Schedule Minors For 47 Hours A Week, With 13+ Hour Days But They Throw In A

My bosses sometimes will schedule minors for 47 hours a week, with 13+ hour days but they throw in a fifteen minute break just before we hit eight hours so the don’t have to pay us overtime. And we are life guards, we work outside all day every day. We can be out side in 115 degree heat for two hours with a 20 minute break before we’re outside again. And most of the staff isn’t even 18 yet.

There Is No Part Of This Diatribe That Is Not Amazing Or 100% True.

I’m Going To Point Out Some Weird Things About @projecttrinity‘s Upcoming Visual Novel “Women

I’m going to point out some weird things about @projecttrinity‘s upcoming visual novel “Women of Xal” in relation to this site.

1) It’s an upcoming Kickstarter bound otome game that very obviously is PoC / People of Color & WoC/ Women of Color centric. We’ve got a bi female lead with several romancable women. And it’s in a harsh matriarchal society ready to give some brutal parallels to our own. Being helmed by a very capable and snarky Black writer. The two programmers are women. The artists are women. The singers are women. One of the animators is a woman. AND THERE’S TANGIBLE QUALITY TO IT! I thought we’ve been asking for more projects like this for years now. But Tumblr has been the most quiet of the four sites it’s updating on??? (Youtube, Facebook, LemmSoftForums, Tumblr)

2) How are hateful anons finding this project before everyone else? Why are we letting Black creatives feel like the anon has a point about Tumblr not caring? Isn’t this site notorious for propping up content like this? Where are my feminists at?!

Like, I truly get it: Most of you will have only just heard of this. And Tumblr didn’t make it easy in the first place. Tags and timing are madly important. But so are reblogs and follows! You’re reading this now - there’s nothing truly stopping you from showing that anon the middle finger. For every time WE DON’T JUST ‘HEART’ A CREATIVE’S POST and reblog/follow their content, we prove hateful anons like this wrong. And every time we prove them wrong, we send an encouraging message to other minorities who want to share their passions with the world, but face that uphill battle.

And hey, the writer clearly has faith in this site still:
