#OTD in Irish History | 28 April:

1714 – Sir Wentworth Harman, MP for Lanesborough, ‘coming in a dark night from Chapel-Izod, his coach overturning, tumbled down a precipice, and he dies in consequence of the wounds and bruises he received’. 1794 – The Reverend William Jackson was arrested in Dublin on this day in 1794. Jackson was born in Newtownards, Co Down, but spent much of his early life in England. He was a French spy…

Those of us who have been on the internet for a while, who were there, perhaps, when it was born, or, if not, who grew up with the growth of message boards and internet forums and an ad-free YouTube, know first-hand how easy it used to be to find information.

There is a reason search engines grew as exponentially as they did. It is hard to remember, but they were useful. If you knew precisely what you were looking for, and you knew the workings of Boolean operators, there was no limit to the knowledge you could find.

Today I felt the frustration of comparing that experience with the one we have now. As I searched for certain information, even going as far as trying different search engines to see if that would change the results, I found exactly the opposite of what I needed. Over and over and over, page after page of the exact same information, sometimes repeated word-by-word - until I finally just gave up.

Instead, I turned to some friends whom I hoped could give me the answer.

Prompt: Yennifer had hormonal!Jack as a horny beast before. It only makes sense she brings him and Ciri under her hypnosis-power and let the monsterhunter fuck the monster for her entertainment

(Hell yeah, an hormonal!jack ask! I'm so sorry for taking so long!)

Like every time, Yennefer was shock speechless by the hormonal teen's performance. Even knowing what he was capable of, having seen (and experienced it) firsthand herself, the boy always found new ways to impress her. Except, this time, she wasn't speechless because he was fucking her too hard to let her speak. Rather, Yennefer was speechless now because she was trying really hard to not moan too loudly, not wanting to interrupt the spectacle between her. There were low chances of that happening (targets of her hypnosis were generally deep under), but she was so enthralled by the spectacle that she felt like even a word said by her would break the atmosphere of the scene.

Ciri had been hypnotized so she wouldn't protest, and right now her daughter could not do anything else than scream in pleasure as she was ravaged by the hormonal beast of a teen that was fucking her. She had hunted fearsome monsters for years now, and yet the young huntress was completely unprepared for the monster than was the young Jack. Through the hypnosis that had made Ciri follow Yennefer's orders, the young princess was getting ravaged, bulged and stretched. Fucked by a cock bigger than anything she had seen before, every nerve of her body screaming in pleasure as he fucked her with his hyper cock.

the teen boy's hands reached out and grabbed her in a strong grip as he was now a ravenous, lustful beast. But Yennefer knew that, if she really wanted to, Ciri could have broken free from him. But the two were under her powers, and neither wanted t ostop. All of Jack's brain shut down, to leave only a hungry lustful, raging monster with a hyper cock and an unending need to fuck and break women, and Ciri that was now taking it in her poor pussy.

And, watching it all unfold, a gloved finger furiously pumpign in her wet cunt, Yennfer sat, with a look fo rapturous wonder in her eyes. She had already seen women fucked by Jack, broken by him, being nothing but his sluts, and yet there was still something new and incredible watching the expression fo pleasure on Ciri's face as she attempted to tame this new monsters, even if she would never be successful.

Workers Memorial Day

Workers’ Memorial Day is an international holiday marked on April 28 annually. It is observed to raise awareness of the importance of workplace safety, as well as commemorate all the workers who have lost their lives due to work-related illnesses and those whose lives have been put on hold due to injuries that have incurred while working. According to figures, the number of people who get killed at work is higher than those who lose their lives to wars and drug abuse combined! Labor unions around the world observe this day to remember their fallen heroes and discuss measures to ensure safe workplaces.

History of Workers Memorial Day

Although it only became widely popular when the U.S. first celebrated it on April 28, 1989, Workers’ Memorial Day had been celebrated several years before then by Canada on the same day. Perhaps, the unpopularity associated with Canada’s first observation can be credited to the fact that it was celebrated under a different, albeit similar name. Regardless of who first observed it though, the day was inspired by the signing of the Occupational Safety and Health Act into law in 1970 and the formation of the OSHA on April 28, 1971.

In the early years of the signing of the OSHA into law, the celebration of the Workers’ Memorial Day was centered in North America. The holiday only attained international recognition in the last parts of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries. In 1985, the Canadian Labor Congress pronounced April 28 as an annual day of remembrance — which is the anniversary of a Workers’ Compensation Act signed as far back as 1914. Progressively, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organization (A.F.L.-C.I.O.) declared April 28 as Workers’ Memorial Day to honor the thousands of people who have been injured or lost their lives on their jobs. The U.K. followed suit with their celebration in 1992.

Since the adoption of the holiday by the International Labor Organization (I.L.O.) in 2001, many countries are now actively participating in observing it, with some deeming it fit to confer the holiday a public holiday status. Furthermore, to add value to the holiday, from 1996, annual themes began to be assigned to each year’s celebration of the day.

Workers Memorial Day FAQs

What does a labor union do?

Among many other things, labor unions are charged with fighting for the betterment of their workers’ welfare, remunerations, and all things needed for them to work in a favorable environment and for decent financial gratification. Generally, labor unions serve as mediators between their members and authorities. Their impacts have been felt by both employees and employers over the years.

Is a labor union a good thing?

It is. This is evident in the many advantages and privileges unionized workers get over their non-unionized counterparts. Most significant changes in employees’ welfare and safety were achieved through the struggles of labor unions. They do have their setbacks though.

Why do people not like unions?

Most governments and employers detest labor unions because of their strong affection for riots and strike actions. To the unions, those two are the most effective languages employers understand, and many a time, they do succeed in pressing home their demands with the employers.

How to Observe Workers Memorial Day

Inform the public about work safety

Strive for a safer environment at work

Honor the memories of fallen workers

Go out there and educate the public on the importance of staying safe while at work. Also, tell them the possible risks associated with their various works.

If you are working in an unsafe or potentially dangerous environment, get people to rally behind you and ask for a safer work environment from your employers. You might just be a cause for a good change.

Be it a close relative, friend, acquaintance, or stranger, honor the memories of those fallen heroes, who died in the cause of their works. Pay tributes to them or their loved ones.

Mistigram: Faster than a speeding bullet... More powerful than a locomotive... Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound... it seems that today is National #Superhero Day, observed in #ANSIart here by AdeptApril! I don't know if this couple of super characters know Superman, but I think they may well go to the same tailor.
