hello! ur one of my fav blogs bc ur a real sweetheart and i saw u reblogged that post so i thought i could rant to u. this is pretty triggering so TRIGGER WARNING (u dont have to respond if u dont want its ok) but lately I've been kinda having this feeling that i was sexually abused as a child and I've looked at all the signs and everything and i have experienced the majority of them. i dont rmr much but i feel like my memory has blocked a lot of it and now its coming back and I'm really scared

i’m really sorry about all of that baby….. i don’t have experience with this myself so i’m sorry i don’t exactly know what to say to you, but since you’ve done the research yourself and feel as though this is a possibility and that you’re experiencing a lot of the signs i guess what i would ask is if you’ve got someone you can speak to about all of this? it would be very helpful if there was someone you could turn to about this if you need to talk about it or possibly see a therapist at all? especially if the thoughts and feelings end up getting worse for you? by the way, as i’m sure you know, it’s very normal and common in traumatic situations for the victim to block out and repress the feelings, memories and events associated with their trauma so if you’re sure something happened but you can’t remember much or things seem fuzzy to you, it’s normal and happens to many people (as awful as it might be when having a hard time remembering the events… ah i’m sorry i hope i’m wording this correctly) but essentially what i would suggest is, if you want to or can, open up to someone around you if the possibility is there and you want to go for it because that’s really the best and most helpful thing i can offer to you right now :( i hope everything goes well for you, though and i’m really sorry these things are coming back to you…. if you need to talk more about it you’re welcome to come back or talk to me off anon if you need it ok?? ♥️

Name: Jules Hensley Emmerson. Gender/Pronouns: Female, She/Her. Date of Birth: September 17th, 1993 Age: 26. Hometown: Portland, Oregon. Length of time in Redwood Bay: Thirteen Years. Neighborhood: McLoughlin Park. Occupation: Employee of The Vinyl Frontier/Drummer. Faceclaim: Melissa Roxburgh. 

hello hello my fools, my clowns, my fello neighbors of Redwood Bay, it is i, the ultimate clown, back with a third lil bean?? i’m a sucker, who allowed me to have a computer. anyway, here’s your intro for the long-awaited jules, FAIR WARNING she does have some trigger warnings that i’m going to try to ungracefully gloss over, which go slightly more in depth in her bio which can be found HERE. and also, she’s got a nifty lil connections page HERE. pls love her or twas all for naught.

{trigger warning: slight mention of childhood sexual abuse which will be kept vague here and never, ever mentioned on the dash, alcoholism, death, prison)

Starting in the beginning of Jules’ life on an obnoxiously warm September night, born Julep Hensley Vause, to a mother, an older brother, and a step-father whom she inherited the last name from. Her mother was a single mother before she met the dude who became Jules’ step-father, going at it alone with just her son and another baby on the way. The slightly better trailer in the slightly better area of Portland caught Jules’ mom’s attention and she uhauled her way into this dude’s home. 

Her step-father, Richie, wasn’t the best kind of dude. He did, after all, meet her mom in a bar, ordering his millionth mint julep despite his breath already reeking of alcohol. He only cared about a few things in his life; his recliner, his beers, and his three t-shirts. He was grimy, but he worked and he paid the bills and it was the relief that Jules’ mother needed.

This is where we insert the childhood sexual abuse trigger warning. 

The inappropriate attention from her step-father began when Jules was three and lasted until she was seven, never passing the point of inappropriate touching, but it was something she struggled for years to understand.

When she was six, her mother went to the hospital and never came back. Jules would later find out that it was liver failure that did her in. Life was never the same after that and she found herself subjected to more boldness from her step-father, until he crossed paths with her older brother one night. A night which ended in both the teenager and their step-father being arrested for aggravated assault, the latter of which then was charged with possession of images he shouldn’t have been in possession of and sentenced to a time in prison that was cut short when he was murdered in the prison yard just a year later. 

End CSA trigger warning.

Her older brother was dealt a bad hand, while what he did was in defense of Jules, he was sent to Juvie until he could be charged as an adult, and then was moved to prison himself for the assault. Just was then tossed into the foster care system.

She spent the next six years tossed through the system, discovering drumming as a way to release the built up anger that she struggled to contain over her past that hadn’t been in her control at all and exploring her sexuality and preteen rebellion until she landed on the doorstep of the Emmersons at the age of thirteen. 

They ended up adopting Jules, who then dropped the last name she had inherited from her step-father so quickly in exchange for the last name of Emmerson, although she now just goes by her first and middle, liking the edginess of it. 

She also currently works at The Vinyl Frontier as a day job to pay the bills while she knocks off with a garage band at night and on weekends, still finding the most joy while beating on a set of now-worn drums while blasting some old classic rock song much to the neighborhoods dismay.

The suggestion that statues erected in public spaces in the 20th century (and beyond) are historical artifacts to be ‘cherished’ by virtue of their historicity is absurd due to their relatively recent vintage, yes, but also because they were part of the cottage industry under Jim Crow when Reconstruction laws lapsed and white supremacist shitheads, hostile to the enfranchisement of former slaves and their descendants, were once again free to revise history to make themselves feel better and to intimidate black Americans, whom they regarded as victors in their defeat.

Making resistance to removing these gaudy chunks of self-serving propaganda about ‘preserving’ history or accepting that that is a valid concern is a concession to the dogwhistle embedded in every marker, statue, and obelisk. Images of terrorists and thugs are threatening reminders that the past can invade the present; that was their purpose then and that is the purpose for trying to protect them now. They are a reminder, a threat, a promise. They are built on lies, resentment, and paranoia. They were given prominent position in city centers, adjacent to Plessy-spawned segregated public services and private spaces, where before they had to be confined to cemeteries commemorating military casualties.

They represent not a single period in history (”Twas Here We Lost For Real This Time Ever and Ever Amen”), not the least of which because the people who made them are impervious to historical facts, but a continuum up to the present-day of a specific ideology and that is one of white supremacy, which in reaching the height of its fervor and potency was also an anti-state threat. But that shouldn’t be the emphasis when we’re examining why these statues need to be removed. The CSA was wrong not because it challenged federal power or because its formation constituted treason but because it existed only as an expression of hatred, greed, and bloodlust. Similarly, Neo-Nazis and the Klan are not wrong because they are violent. They’re wrong because they’re racist. Being a pacifist Klanboy (or POTUS) afraid to get his hands dirty but reveling in the destruction and fear caused by his more demonstrative fellow travelers does not absolve him of his racism. There are no ‘good’ ones or ‘nice’ ones.

And this right-wing preoccupation with reconstructing cretins like Lee exists not necessarily to foment revolution along white supremacist lines, but it certainly emanates from the childish desire to whitewash certain racist institutions -- slavery, Jim Crow -- and make them appear benign or even noble, old hat Beardian nonsense trying to ape respectability, ditto 20th and 21st white women’s obsession with romanticizing antebellum ‘culture.’ It’s not a coincidence that this cultural revisionism gained speed following a slight uptick in the collective lot of black Southerners and, indeed, all black Americans. Unable to cope with this, white Southerners valorized the traditional enemies and murderers of black Americans. Present-day white terrorists know this, are conversant in the language of the coded bigot, which is why they’re running scared now the jig is up on using ‘heritage’ as a bulwark against criticism of their fetishism for a racist past and future ethnically-cleansed utopia. They will, in fact, be replaced. But that’s cold comfort for all their past and future victims and for the people of color who have to endure their cosplaying, vigilantism, and invasion of college campuses, not to mention the emboldening of your average neighborhood shitheaded neo-Nazi, itching for enough plausible deniability that they can embark on a little mild genocide.

Silica in Construction: Hazards & Control Measures

In recent years, to protect workers in the construction industry against exposure to hazardous chemicals, the Ministry of Labour removed the exemption to Ontario Regulation 833 that construction projects enjoyed.  This regulation sets out requirements for protecting workers against chemical exposures and to abide by the current Ontario legal limit for respirable crystalline silica (quartz & tripoli) of 0.10 mg /m3 TWA.

Silica is very common in construction. It is a major component of sand, cement, gravel, stone, brick and mortar.   It can be present in asphalts, roof coverings, joint compounds, plaster, caulking compounds and mastics.  It is a common filler for paint, plastics, rubber and water filtration and employed in sandblasting, grinding, abrasives and scouring cleansers.

As a result, occupational exposure to crystalline silica is one of the common occupational hazards on a construction site. Health effects that result from overexposure to crystalline silica include breathing difficulty, lung irritation, decreased pulmonary function, progressive respiratory symptoms, and silicosis lung disease and/or lung cancer.

Silica Risk Factors in Construction

According to IRSST Report R-771[1], workers in construction face a serious risk of overexposure to crystalline silica.   Some of the dangerous occupations include pipeline labourers, drillers, bricklayer – mason, cement finishers and underground workers (IRSST Figure1 [3]).   For these occupations, the geometric mean silica exposures exceed the Quebec and Ontario respirable silica legal occupational exposure limits (OEL) of 0.10 mg/m3 TWA.

Occupation is not the only factor that needs to be considered when evaluating the risk of silica exposure – tools, tasks and working materials should play an important part in assessing this risk. Some construction tasks expose workers to silica in amounts, which are 1 – 16 times the acceptable legal limit (IRSST Figure 2 [3]). These tasks include silica for traffic control, tuck point grinding, sawing roofing, tunnel boring, breaking masonry, bush-hammering concrete, grinding and sawing masonry and abrasive blasting.

Some materials present higher exposures than others do with ceramic materials providing higher exposures than cement, followed by mortar and brick then by concrete blocks (IRSST Figure 3 [3]).

Finally, IRRST looked at silica exposure by tool and observed that all examples except for the sander exceeded the OEL for quartz silica in an 8-hour day.  These tools in increasing order of exposure included masonry tools, tuck point grinder, surface finishing grinder, tile cutter, drilling machine, jackhammer, tunnelling machine, bush hammer and portable masonry saw (IRSST Figure 4 [3]).

Control Measures

After reviewing all the aspects, which affect silica exposure in construction, it is imperative that engineering controls are implemented to protect workers.  Built-in exhaust ventilation and water spraying are important and absolutely necessary engineering control measures to minimize worker exposure to silica dust.

Administrative controls such as safe work procedures, worker training, on-the-job training, new worker orientation, safety meetings, hazard assessments, workplace inspections, silica awareness training and regular toolbox safety meetings are necessary to reinforce safe working with silica.

The final control in the hierarchy of controls is personal protective equipment. Respiratory protection may include full-face air-purifying respirators,  powered air purifying respirators or abrasive blast type CE supplied-air respirators depending on the type work being performed.   Equally important is that the construction project has a respiratory protection program that meets or exceeds the requirements of CSA Standard Z94.4- 2011 (reaffirmed 2016) selection use and care of respirators to ensure workers are trained, fit tested and work safely with the personal protection that is provided.

What can employees do to limit their exposure to crystalline silica?

Ontario Regulation 833 s. 3 (1) requires that every employer shall take all measures reasonably necessary in the circumstances to protect workers from exposure to a hazardous biological or chemical agent because of the storage, handling, processing or use of such agent in the workplace.   An assessment of worker occupational exposures is highly recommended.   Where exposure is possible then a control program to limit worker exposure should be developed.  The control program should follow the hierarchy of controls to minimize worker exposure.   The control measures in decreasing order of effectiveness range from elimination/substitution to use of engineering controls, followed by administrative controls and finally the use or respiratory protection.

Hierarchy of Controls [2]

Engineering controls could include dust suppression techniques such as using tools with water spray, negative pressure containment, and shower facilities with dirty/clean change rooms, wash stations.  Administrative controls could include silica hazard training, respiratory protection training, signage,  personal hygiene requirements and restrictions on eating drinking and smoking while personal protective equipment might include respiratory protection, eye protection and work clothes/street clothes change out.

Worker Safety with Silica: Key Questions to ask.

Is there crystalline silica in your work site?

Have you done everything to protect your workers from this hazardous substance

Are your workers trained on the hazards of crystalline silica?

Have all possible control measures been implemented?

Do you need air monitoring to ensure safety
