Hey y’all, I keep finding myself having my work reposted by larger gimmick accounts without attribution and wanted to put a reminder out there that all of these pieces are my original work. It’s mostly just a minor nuisance rather than serious infringement but it is getting a little tiresome

If you see them reposted don’t harass the original posters but do politely let me know so I can send a takedown notice or something (mainly big meme accounts, I don’t care much if it’s someone with like ten followers)

Art is my only source of income as I am disabled and currently do not have access to accessible and sustainable employment+not eligible for SSI, so having my work attributed correctly to me is a huge help to building an art career thats more livable for me

I plan to offer prints and maybe start a Patreon on the future so people have more tangible means of supporting me, but until then getting the word out there that this is my work would be really cool since these images have gone so viral. (I have a kofi tip jar as well, but don’t feel obligated!)

I love how the Mavica photos look like they are from the late 90's and the late 70's simultaneously.

The one downside to being from the retrotech world is when people here see photos and videos from that world and get all objectum about them, I have to think "I know that guy... I don't think he knows Tumblr users want to fuck his computers. I should probably not tell him"

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

This is the exact idea of "clickbait".

Had the museum's social media account actually put that model in context, It probably would not have gotten a fraction of the attention that the standalone image would have. Perhaps the person in charge of the account was so used to the context that they didn't think of it as anything but a model of a cucumber. Perhaps they knew what people would think of a phallic clay object on it's own. Perhaps they were even aware of the increasing public understanding of the sanitation of history by academics and curators (whether it's the pornographic graffiti of Pompeii, a drawer full of wieners chiselled off of greco-roman statues, or the broad use of "ritual purposes" to cover objects unknown or erotic in nature).

Regardless of intent, the result is the same: the post got WAY more attention than the object in question would have had otherwise. Attention and reach are the two metrics that social media measures and makes readily available, which makes clickbait tempting.

But what metrics aren't measured? How many people saw the shitpost and never bothered following up? How many people added that bit of misinformation to their worldview? How many people saw the follow-up, and became actually more interested in the topic? How many people shared the shitpost, but never bothered reblogging the follow-up?

For a company, this is just potential distrust. For an educational organization (museum, government agency, educational institute or news organization), the risk of spreading misinformation accidentally for the sake of measurable engagement is a serious issue.

Ultimately, this one post is a fart in the wind: whether a few people wind up thinking this is a 3000-year-old misclassified dildo or not is of little importance. I just think it's an interesting example of the risks and temptations of clickbait in the attention economy.

I know this happens and it looks suspicious but

this image? we have every reason to think it is a cucumber, like it was made in clay models in burials period, it's painted green, it's on the small side of things (9.6 cm or 3 3/4 inch)

oh right and it was placed on a model offering table with small model bread and drinking cup

sometimes a cucumber really is a cucumber.

Even in food service, there is the demand for exponential growth. Each store has a profit target you're expected to hit every quarter. Each quarter the target gets bigger and bigger. The only way to make sure you hit or exceed that target is to increase sales or cut costs. Sales can only go so far though, so at a certain point there is the understandable temptation (not justifiable, but understandable) for your manager to start cutting hours. Once they do, your location has entered a Death Spiral.

The thing about the Death Spiral is it is nearly impossible to escape. It starts innocuous enough, with a few hours getting shaved off every week. And true enough at first you probably didn't need those hours. They were the slack, the extra hands that helped distribute the work and made it easier on everyone. You might not even notice they're gone. Maybe the morning rush is a little harder to handle, maybe there isn't as much time to chat as there used to be. But on the whole nothing has changed. You're still hitting your sales quota and, hey, everyone seems to be working a little harder. That's good, right?

Then the next quarter rolls around. You exceeded your quota. Upper management is very excited. But now your new quota is even higher than it would have been if you had simply performed to expectations. You raise prices a bit, push more expensive drinks, and sure, cut a few more hours. Bit by bit the slack gets tighter. The fat gets trimmed. All because continual growth, continual improvement, is not just demanded, but expected.

The endgame of the Death Spiral is the expectation that every worker will operate at 100% efficacy 100% of of the time, and that nothing will go wrong ever. It never reaches this point, as any food service worker will tell you, shit goes wrong. Service gets worse, you lose a few customers, and you miss your quota. This is the point of no return, because the only way to solve the problem is to add more hours. But there's no way upper management will approve spending more money. On a failing store? Don't be ridiculous. Maybe get those numbers up and we'll consider adding hours back. But the only way to get those numbers up is with no hours. It's a Catch-22. You're trapped. Slowly, inevitably, the store fails, and then closes.

The Death Spiral is a doomed strategy, but it is the one corporations push in response to investor pressure. It tricks workers into more work for the promise of relief later, if they do well and succeed, not realizing they'll only be asked to do even more next time. So how do you fight it? Know your worth. Don't let anyone give you more work without some kind of kickback. Don't fool yourself into thinking that being indispensable will lead to a reward later.

But the best defense? Join a union.
