when pompeii was first being excavated and studied ppl were writing about how there were literal hundreds of brothels. every street and every corner. and this was kind of accepted for a couple of years before someone went “hey that doesn’t actually make any sense at all. what are you using as proof there are so many brothels? what’s the criteria for it to count?” and it turned out ppl were like “oh if there’s a dick drawn on it it’s a brothel.”

so anyway after re-evaluating the criteria there’s only one single building in all of pompeii that researchers are pretty sure was a brothel.

Things corporations make their employees do because they thing customers like it (hint: we don’t)

1) Verbally greeting every person who enters the store. I swear to God, the poor cashier at my local Dollar General is going to lose her voice. She probably has nightmares that include “Welcome to Dollar General!” 

2) Force them to wear uniforms. All it takes for me to identify an employee is a name badge, or maybe a vest or something. That’s it. My retail purchasing brain will not crumble into righteous offense if your employee isn’t shoved into a hot, uncomfortable poly/cotton polo and gut-cinching khaki pants. There is nothing about that ensemble that creates a “professional work atmosphere.” It’s Wal-mart, buddy. No one is looking for a professional work atmosphere at the place they go to buy toilet paper. 

3) Forcing restaurant employees to take their meals in “the break room”, even when they buy the food from the restaurant they work in. If I see staff eating at one of the open restaurant tables in the corner, you know what I think? Nothing. They’re people eating, just like everyone else in there.  They say expectations can create behavior, so maybe we should step back and wonder if the monster-customer isn’t a creation of the corporate world assuming every customer is a monster and catering to it.

Tutorial - Painting with “free” powdered graphite

Do you use a lead pointer?

Do you cry whenever you sharpen your lead because you know how expensive that lead was?  Then dump that dust out and use it!

You now have free powdered graphite!  (If you don’t use a lead pointer, you can buy a solid graphite stick and take a hammer to it - yes, I’ve done this - or you can just go ahead and buy powdered graphite.)  You can use a dry brush to paint it on your pencil drawings for a soft, light blended effect.  Or…

Add a drop or two of water and mix until it dissolves.  Remember that softer lead will produce darker effects, so add more or less water depending on how dark or light you want to go.

You now have powdered graphite AND erasable paint!

Paint whatever the crap.

Lift that crap out with an eraser.  Darker graphite won’t come out completely, but you can soften, blend, and lighten it.  You can also smudge it with a finger or brush.

Then you can go in and detail it with the same pencil you cannibalized to make the graphite powder, and it’ll all blend together because it’s the same crap.

But painting with graphite is nice because you can block in large areas and detail on top of it.  And sometimes you just want to have a “brush” effect, which isn’t so quick and easy with a pointy pencil, or maybe you want to be free and loose the way only a brush can let you be.

There you go!  Graphite paintings from repurposed waste materials!
