CELEBRITY GOSSIP

HARRY STYLES, BOOKS, AND LOVE FROM A YOUTUBE VIDEO

If you are wondering if this article's title is stating that Harry Styles is a taken man, you would be correct. Starting with the simple YouTube video posted by the channel of the name ynrecommends and ending with a yacht vacation near the coast of Italy and burning romance.

But let's start at the beginning. The booktuber from ynrecommends (YN YSN) did a little video of reading books that Harry Styles recommended during his interviews and so on. Because of the Harries (name of Styles' fandom), the video skyrocketed and gained hundreds of thousands of views in a matter of a few days. That's probably how our heartbreaker found the video, leaving a little comment and not forgetting to flirt with the author (we love it!). You could say the story of them began right in front of our eyes.

It was a few months ago, and throughout them, there were multiple crumbs left by the couple. Joined bookshop travels, appearances in YN's vlogs and other videos, and of course, THAT vacation on Harry's yacht.

As our source that is very close to both of them says 'the romance started late in their time of knowing each other, because of their both overflowing schedules and fear of ruining the friendship.' What is more, we didn't only get the words but also photos that clearly confirm the romance between the rock star of our generation and the indie booktuber despite YN's claims of 'being single and very happy with it.'

Is that how you are with your 'friends'?

What do you think is true, our sources claims or YN's words?

[fuck-customers]

god i love working at local places but sometimes these management teams are way more stupid than corporate.

in this case, i say management team very lightly. the only employees at this job im at is me, my ex, two older ladies, and the boss. we have one helper as well but he’s been out of commission for about a month because he hurt his back really bad.

at first i was scheduled every day during a 5-day labor day sale, and fuck it was so hard. my boss refused to hire anymore help and chewed me out for nearly crying during my shift.

and then i had to call out a few times because i’m chronically ill and i can’t really work more than two days in a row, and even that is pushing it. and of course she got onto me, telling me that i need to grow up and get over it. she then changed my schedule around so instead of getting $1000 a month, i was deducted to $400. this month i’m getting two whole days! yay! that’s $200!

she constantly yells at me for my ex’s mistakes at work. the guy constantly leaves his bag (with weed in it usually) on the counter, leaves his bag on the ground so i trip over it, makes a complete mess of the place, leaves me without telling me when i’m busy at the computer so i can’t tend to customers… so much other stuff.

yesterday, he was the one on the register, and turns out we were short a significant amount of money. so we (most likely he, because when i’m with other people this shit NEVER happens) probably over paid someone. i told both of them that i’m busy today so i can’t call either of them but my boss still spammed me with calls. i asked my ex why and he said “well she called me and i told her to ask you.” like… telling the boss that i’m the one responsible, essentially. as if i fucking know why it’s under, as if i was the one on that stupid register.

i eventually texted my boss and explained that i dont know what happened and she said “well i dont know why this always happens with you two” (gee it’s almost like i never make mistakes when i’m with someone else and he makes mistakes no matter who he’s with!) and “i’ll have to deduct it from your paycheck.” i immediately sent her an article stating that that is VERY illegal and she has not responded.

i’ve been applying to many places already, and i plan on quitting as soon as i secure one. but if she pulls any funny shit again, i’m quitting, i dont care if i have a job or not.

When I'm not writing Danganronpa fan fiction, I moonlight as a professional content/copywriter. All the fresh discourse about plagiarism is reminding me of some formative experiences in my work life, and certain people I've met ...

My first job was with a fast-paced marketing company. The in-house writing team maintained weekly blogs for a bunch of clients, and each writer had to write two 1000-word blog posts a day. That's tough, especially for someone who was still pretty fresh in the field. We were salaried rather than hourly (!), so there was no incentive to staying late ... but that also meant the company didn't have to fret about overtime pay, so we could stay late if we needed it. I'd regularly be the last one in the office, still pumping out words in the struggle to meet deadlines.

Much of my time was spent on research. I knew little about the subjects at hand, which were sometimes highly technical, so I couldn't just BS my way through assignments. I even requested and received permission to take one client's worker education course, just so I could know what the heck I was writing about. It didn't seem at all remarkable to me. It was a job. My job. Although I could've been better, or at least faster, I simply did what needed to be done.

I learned that others took a ... different approach.

One supervisor was on sabbatical for the first couple of months I worked there. I respected them as my superior. Then I was assigned to peer-edit one of their articles, something we did with everything we wrote. One uncited claim led me to Google ... where I found a nearly identical article already published. Supervisor did the ol' switcheroo of amending sentence structures and swapping words for poorly chosen synonyms. I brought it up with them, saying I wouldn't report the incident but urged them to not do that. I can't recall what happened next, other than not trusting Supervisor anymore.

After three months passed, I was up for employee review. The bosses liked what they've read - yay! And then they said, "Here's why we're not giving you a raise." My stomach dropped. Apparently, they checked how many articles everyone wrote. I was behind on a quota I knew nothing about. If I wanted more money, I should take a page from the writer in the lead. Champ had somehow written 60 articles in the past month. Amazing! My employer set a goal much humbler than what my work friend had surpassed. If Champ could do that much, surely I could do this little.

Reader, I did my best. I stayed at the office later and later, especially as the date of my next employee review drew near. Due to my salaried status, I wasn't even paid for that overtime, but I put in the time anyway. It was all for nothing. Just a week before the next meeting, where they would've decided whether I deserved a raise or not, they laid off virtually the entire writing department. Apparently, underpaying freelancers who don't get benefits was easier.

Only one person from the crew stayed. If it was gonna be anybody, it was golden goose Champ, who maintained their insane pace. I wished them well.

Anyone wanna guess the secret behind Champ's prodigious output? It's the same reason they got fired just a few weeks later.

The reveal was a betrayal. We were friends, Champ and I, getting each other through the grind of the content mill with sarcastic humor and deep conversations. They encouraged and motivated me to keep up, all the while hiding some dirty tricks that eventually helped them stay in the race while I spun out. I was shocked to discover that I had zero empathy for them. But they deserved none, the filthy plagiarist. Haven't spoken to them since finding out.

This may not be as sordid as everything H. Bomberguy discusses in his brilliant new video. My coworkers and I were literally anonymous, with no clout to speak of, let alone abuse. Our clients were small businesses with little platform, which is why they contracted a marketing agency in the first place. Still, it hurt the hell out of me, and I wasn't even the one being copied! Plagiarism is a curse word in my household, lowest of the low (without getting into, like, actual atrocity).

And you know what? Years later, what I wrote for that company still holds up in my eyes. Those old blog posts aren't exactly the Great American Novel, or even on par with what I'd write as I gained more experience, but I put the effort into writing high-quality and original stuff. I worked hard. I still work hard. As self-deprecating and even self-loathing as I can be, I'll always pride myself on this. May you writers out there be able to pride yourselves on this, too.

I think you already made a post about how dowries worked (in your latest posts you said you werent sure of the dowry was paid in some instances and i wanted to research how that could happen), but i cant find it :( Could you please link it for me?

This is a recent post about wealth: How wealthy are JAne Austen's heroines?

This is about where the fortunes come from

Some dowries seem to be guaranteed in the wedding articles, but do not have to be paid until the death of both parents. This is probably because the spouse has a "life interest" in the money. This happens with John Dashwood as well, his mother's dowry is half his and half in the possession of his father.

Anne Elliot will eventually get her £3000, but it seems that it doesn't have to be paid until Sir Walter dies.

Additional note: It seems like some women already own their fortune, mostly those whose father is dead. So Georgiana Darcy, the Dashwoods, Mary Crawford, and Caroline Bingley.

Fanny Dashwood says this: besides the thousand pounds belonging to each of the girls, which brings them in fifty pounds a year a-piece, and, of course, they will pay their mother for their board out of it.

This means, I believe, that if Wickham got Georgiana to Scotland, it was basically impossible to prevent him from obtaining the £30,000. It also suggests that Caroline and Mary both have around £1000/year to spend as they want. I would assume that they pay their own ladies maids and probably give their family some amount for board, though that is never stated.

This money is helpful in some ways, Mary Crawford probably doesn't have a whole lot of trouble finding somewhere to live if she can pay rent, but since the money is attached to her, it leaves her open to fortune hunting. Eliza Brandon was forced into an unhappy reason so her guardian could get his hands on her wealth. Something similar might have happened to Mary, though she is lucky to have a brother who could have protected her.

Post.

If your main reason for using Twitter is/was news, there's a new social media site called Post that is specifically designed for news. Kind of looks like if Twitter and Tumblr had a baby website, but reads like a newspaper where you can choose the types of stories you like.

It's still kind of social media and some people do chat or post non-news things, but mostly it's focused on news. A lot of the journalists and news organizations I respect are there - like Reuters and Rachel Maddow, so I thought I'd recommend it.

There's a wait to get an account, but I got mine after only about a week. One caveat, it's free and has a lot of free content and articles, but some articles you pay for in microtransactions. Like you "pay" 3-5 points to read an article that interests you. Points are cheap, you get 50 free to start, then can purchase them. I think I paid $14 for 1000.

I've been yelling for this for years. I don't want to subscribe to the New York Times, but I will pay 50 cents or a dollar to read an article that particularly interests me. Post is way cheaper than that.

Anyway, I'm really loving this and wanted to share.

The Juxtaposition of women

Women face bias on a daily basis and although women have been fighting for equality for hundreds of years, our job is not done. Women are unfairly treated in day to day life with fewer opportunities than men, and the gender pay gap.

For example, in 2016, the gender pay gap in Aotearoa, New Zealand, was 12% which means that men got paid 12% more than the women per hour. Over 95% of the countries face the same exact problem of gender inequality, one predominantly subsisting in India. As per a UNDP report, India ranks at a 132 out of 187 countries when it comes to gender equality; the skewed sex ratio of 914 females per 1000 males in India speaks for itself.

These articles prove a women’s fight is not over. We constantly live as the “inferior” gender. Women artists play a huge role in combating gender norms.

Feminist artists created alternative venues as well as worked to change established institutions’ policies to promote women artists’ visibility within the market.

By taking the power away from the male dominant strata of the art sphere, the movement placed power into the hands of women who stepped up to claim charge.

Also! This has already happened! It happened to David J. Fielding. You probably know him as Zordon from Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. And that was with the technology available in 1993. You can read more about it here.

Here is an excerpt:

"I made less than $1000 on the show as a whole. It was non-union, so no residuals. I got paid $150 for the day I filmed, and they made a billion dollars the first year. But that's fair, right?" Fielding wrote.

According to a Forbes article published in 2001, Saban made US$1.6 billion worldwide in Power Ranger toy sales by 1994.

"I got paid $150 pre-tax rate ($75 per hour non-union standard, 2-hour minimum session time) for the few sessions I did to record several episodes at a time. My last VO for MMPR was Episode 31. Robert Manahan took over after I left - I have no idea what he was paid or how much," Fielding wrote. "I was paid for the day I filmed and for each recording session I went to - not by episode. I was credited up to Episode 31, but when I left the show and LA, they removed me from the credits - which I assume is kind of standard or was back then."

Im not sure what’s like etiquette for posting other people’s videos but this was just shocking about the AMPTP proposal:

Like wtf

"City Honeycombed With Gambling Is Pastor's Statement," Windsor Record. February 17, 1913. Page 1. ---- Rev. F. W. Hollinrake, Methodist Clergyman, Adds That He Believes Police Know About It. ---- DECLARES SOME CIGAR STORES MERLLY BLUFFS ---- Alleged That Officers Tip Off Proprietors When "Chief is on the Beat" - Secret Spring Used. ---- "Windsor is honeycombed with gambling and I believe the police know about it." This was the concluding remark made by the Rev. F.. W. Hollinrake of the Central Methodist church at the Sunday evening service in discussing the gambling evil, which he states, exists in this city.

In his sermon he termed gambling a source of so-called pleasure for which the participants received no gain for what they paid. He termed the gambler a leach, a blood-sucker and a thief in every sense of the word and said although it was very hard to detect, it seemed to go on unmolested, with the proprietor pocketing his ill-gotten gains.

He read an article from a Toronto paper, in which in an interview a reporter of that paper had with the father of a young man who had been convicted and fined for being a common gambler, the man said that his son had got his start in a small cigar store or pool room opposite the paper office in Toronto.

"Change the towns and it sounds mighty like Windsor," remarked the pastor.

The interview further stated that in Toronto the pool rooms and cigar stores were the greatest offenders. Here again the pastor remarked it sounded like Windsor.

Police Powerless He stated that there were men in their graves today who would be living and following their regular line of occupation, were it not for these gambling joints. He said that in many homes in Windsor there were widows weeping, children going without clothing and fire all because the police could not stop the practice.

"I am told that there are places in this city where a man who has just received his weekly or fortnightly or monthly pay envelope and goes into it and when he comes out his money is gone. He is forced to go home to a broken-hearted wife and mother, waiting for this money to buy the children clothing, pay the grocery bill or pay the rent of the house that sheltered them.

"The proprietors of these places will ride to their beautiful home in their automobiles. There is no sign of want. The money that they асcumulate through the gambling curse should be going to help some family where the father has lost it by playing poker or some other game.

Are Gifts Received? "I have been informed that policemen go into cigar stores and ask for fifty cents worth of cigars, and after laying their money on the showcase, a bluff is made at the cash register and the money is handed back to them. These policemen, if they wanted to, could look through an open door and see the gambling tables and other paraphernalia in the rooms for the use of the gamblers, but they don't do it for some reason.

"Some places that sell cigars are merely bluffs. The amount of business they do would not give returns enough to pay the salary of the clerk who is employed. I am further informed that a policeman will be in one of these places and will say to the clerk or proprietor, 'Keep quiet tonight, the chief is on the beat.

"If I were to go around to one of these places a spring would be touch- ed behind the counter, and all the men would disappear into another room and the place would take on the appearance of a place in mourning."

Take Only Big Bets. The pastor told the congregation that in the city there existed places where books were kept where a man could go in and play any horse he liked at any of the different race tracks in the country. He referred to one as a rich man's place where the man with the little bet need not seek admittance. Only the man with a bet from $100 to $1000 need apply.

He stated that some of these places in their efforts to keep the game going, they went so far as to furnish lunches to the players, so that they would not have to go out to eat. An article from a Cleveland paper was read in which the chief of police of that city had ordered all gamblers out of the city and a large number of them moved away. Those who remained in the city were raided and all their tables and other devices. were broken up.

"Could not the chief of police in this city do the same?" asked the pastor.

Mr. Hollinrake stated that in the city at almost every cigar store, men were allowed to shake dice for cigars every day except Sunday. He was informed that one place was kept going on the Sabbath as well as week days. He told of a man who had conducted a place in Windsor for over fifteen years and had been raided only once. He said he was informed that some of the places were protected and the man who told him said the police force was "rotten".

Mr. Hollinrake said he asked the man, "What about the commission?" "They are the same," replied the man.

Distributes the Blame. He stated that he did not blame the police altogether, saying that if mothers and fathers of children children would stay at home and teach their children something about the way they should live instead of expecting a public or Sunday school teacher to do it, conditions could be bettered.

"In conclusion," he said, "let some of the clubs, societies and influential business men of the city be brave enough to start a movement to run these places out of the city and the police, maybe, will be brave enough do their duty. Back up the policeman in what he does while exercising his duties, and Windsor will not be honeycombed with gambling, which I believe it is."

Mr. Hollingrake stated he secured h's information from a man who had been in the gambling business but had reformed.

same anon: im asking this because im a person with pots as well as a person with chronic pain (about 10 years now) that causes walking to be pretty painful.

could you possibly explain what it was like to get a wheelchair as an ambulatory user ? im looking into it myself due to my issues walking (and near passing out while walking) but know that if i dont get doctors approval, i will not be able to afford it without a lot of financial assistance

so im really lucky that my family had the financial ability to buy it without insurance (its technically my graduation gift lol) from hearing what other people went through to get their chairs like waiting over a year to get approval, i thought it would be best for me to just get it now because i needed it right then.

i had scoured my insurance’s policies and realized that they probably weren’t going to cover it fully (i dont need it for accomplishing activities of daily life (ADLs) at home, which my insurance required) plus my doorways arent wide enough to get my chair through so i wouldnt be able to use it inside my house anyway.

right now im in the process of getting an hEDS diagnosis, so im hoping that once i get it insurance might cover power assist wheels for me.

if insurance doesnt cover yours, you should try crowd funding for it on something like gofundme, there are also charities that will give wheelchairs for free, ill link them in the post. i also recommend looking for second hand chairs on ebay, i couldnt find one that fit my measurements, but theyre usually under $1000 that way! ill also link a resource to measure yourself for a chair so you know your measurements. if you look for a second hand one, the main measurement to know is the seat width and depth. theyre usually written width by depth, so mine is 18x16. i got very excited to find a tilite for $800 when i realized it was 16x18 and not 18x16 :/

how to measure:

wheelchair charities that i know of:

(this one is christian fyi)

an article with a few:

also it seems like medicare and medicaid are more likely to cover wheelchairs than private insurance (if youre in the US)

i got my wheelchair from 1800wheelchair.com, their customer service is absolutely amazing, and most of their products are discounted! my chair full price would have been $2370 but we paid $1500

Anthony’s Stupid Daily Blog (369): Tue 21st Mar 2023

Amanda Bynes has been placed in a mental health unit after she was discovered walking around her neighbourhood naked. The people who drove past her and saw her slowed their car down and called the police…eventually (You’d have to sleeve it a few minutes to take in the surreal sight of a naked Amanda Bynes wouldn’t you? You wouldn’t step in and stop it straight away. You’re only human). I knew that Amanda Bynes has been struggling in the last ten years or so but I always thought it was either alcohol or drug addiction I don’t know that she has quite severe mental health issues. You’d think that I would have read about it on Penelope Taynt’s website AmandaPlease.com. I was a big fan of The Amanda Show when I was a kid. Bynes had great comedic timing and had a very warm and energetic personality. I assumed that after the show ended that she would go on to a big film career ala Miley Cyrus but from what I’ve gathered Bynes has only done a handful of films and the last one was 13 years ago. From what I can tell Bynes has spent a lot of her time studying fashion and it was during this period that the substance abuse and mental health issues started up. Maybe her descent into addiction actually had nothing to do with her fame and instead was caused by the pressures of trying to balance her private life with her intense studying. University students go through a rigorous revision schedule and the stress of it often leads students to drugs in order to chase away the feeling of being overwhelmed.

I rang up the Roadwise motorcycle test company to see what the chances were of me getting lessons and a test booked in before the end of June when my theory test runs out. He said that in order to say for sure he’d need to take me out for a lesson to see how good or bad of a rider I am. I booked a lesson for tomorrow at 4. Hopefully the fact that I’ve been practicing for two years on a 125 will give me a bit of a boost and I won’t need too many lessons. I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to actually booking a test. To be fair though when I first enquired about tests it was just after lockdown and the Roadwise guys told me that they were backlogged nine months with requests for tests and said backlog has only just gone down to about a month. Still though there were many years before this where I could have started taking lessons instead of spending all my time on Amandaplease.com reading Penelope Taynt’s regular article “Things That Rhyme With Amanda”.

I went to the town to meet Dad so we could get out pounds changed over to dollars. Dad had Luna with him as he’d just taken her to the soft play and she was hyper as per usual. She insisted on getting a carry and I told her that she was getting to big to be carried and soon it would be her who had to carry me. She responded that she wouldn’t be able to carry me because I’m too fat. Man, you eat 7 pizzas in a day and suddenly people are putting labels on you. I got £1000 changed to $1200 at the currency exchange place. It doesn’t seem like much but I’ve already paid for WrestleMania and the LA Lakers game so I’ll just need money for food and whatever fun shit we decide we want to do when we’re there. One thing I want to do while I’m over there is fire a gun. Normally to fire a gun in America you have to go to a high school but there are actually places where you can go to fire them at non-living targets called shooting ranges. Being from the UK this might be one of my only chances to fire an actual gun. It will also be a good opportunity to take out all the frustration I’ve accumulated over the years. I can pretend that the targets are the South Shields bus drivers who routinely turned up 10-15 minutes late when I needed them for work before I got the bike. I’ll also put on a voice pretending that the bus drivers are begging for mercy going “Please don’t kill me. I’m sorry I’m always late. I’ll start being on time I swear” and then I’ll reply “Oh yeah. Well I’m going to show you how to do your job properly. I’m going to take you on a ride, I’m going to get you to your destination on time and the good news for you is that where you’re going…you won’t need a return ticket” and then blast it’s fucking face off.

This evening I watched the documentary miniseries We Need To Talk About Cosby. Obviously the guys name is mud nowadays but you couldn’t exactly go straight to talking about what a monster the guy was straight from episode one. In order to understand why his crimes were so particularly harrowing the audience needs to know what kind of person he fooled people into thinking he was. This guy was basically the American Jimmy Savile. He did shitloads of charity work in order to defuse suspicion whenever there were rumblings about his shady behaviour. The Savile comparisons don’t stop there as throughout his career he was basically leaving breadcrumbs and hiding in plain sight, giving people enough clues as to what kind of person he was but because he was so powerful and influential very few people ever acted on them. Cosby actually jokes about drugging a woman’s drink on an album from 1969. The fact that Cosby was joking about this but turned out he was actually doing it makes me think that maybe Ross Noble actually does piss on squirrels https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c1nMqEHN3qg&t=68s . I can’t believe this guy is actually out on a technicality but hopefully this will somehow get overturned and the cunt will end up back behind bars sooner rather than later. The fact that Cosby’s career was brought crashing down thanks to a routine by Hannibal Burress has always intrigued me. The routine Burress did went viral and encouraged women who had been abused by Cosby to come forward. I’ve never understood why Cosby didn’t sue Burress. Maybe because the women came forward and accused Cosby of assault before he had a chance to suppress the revelation by taking legal action against Burress. The fact that Burress managed to evade prosecution by Cosby while at the same time kick-starting the backlash against him makes me flash forward to accusations made by Katherine Ryan against another comedian / predator of women who she refuses to name. She says the comedian in question has very good lawyers but surely not as good as the ones Bill Cosby could afford. If she just outright accused the guy then it might similarly encourage his victims to come forward and start a backlash against this presently unknown comic.

The above addition (and the link) provides some good context, as I've always wondered when the Chinese model would hit western markets. Untamed was published on JJWXC. From a subscriber point of view, I would pay for these chapters by number of words. I'd probably be able to buy about 5-10 books (depending on length) before needing to recharge (and from memory it's about $20USSD per charge), and I'm assuming authors got paid by word count too. There are also options of tipping the author through other means. That said, almost all of the popular authors I followed would still have a day job. Honestly I don't know how they were churning out 3000-5000 Chinese words a day (due to the sentence structure of Chinese, usually a 1000 word English article could be condensed down to about 700 Chinese words so 5000 Chinese words is...a lot) with a day job but it suggests that even ignoring the conversion rates, the amount of money they got wasn't enough to support them.

Not to mention that piracy was rampant. Usually within a few days of publication, the chapter would be out on a piracy site somewhere.

I'm not sure about content policies on Webnovel, but certainly a major issue with JJWXC was censorship, which updated on a regular basis depending on the latest briefs from the Chinese government and covered details that included characterisation (e.g. you were not allowed to have negative portrayals of law enforcement, for example). Chapters were frequently locked for "explicit sexual content" that might be as explicit as a handjob, and content purges were common. I am not sure Webnovel's servers are physically located, but I wonder if they will still fall under the regulation of those censorship laws.

I got this comment on a story from my Other AO3 Account this morning.

(Info redacted because I prefer keeping these accounts separate but no one follows me on the side blog I have for that account.)

The story was posted almost a year ago and is relatively “popular” by my average statistics even though it has tropes and themes that are big turnoffs for a lot of people (hence separate accounts). This popularity is undoubtedly because it’s a Marvel Loki story and that fandom is massive.

So there is obviously an algorithm or a bot scrubbing ao3 statistics and leaving this comment on fics that meet a certain metric with the main character of the fic inserted into the comment.

I had a little time to kill this morning so I decided to investigate further. And y’all this is so predatory. Come on this journey with me. It made me mad. It may make you mad.

First, if you go to Webnovel’s website, you HAVE to choose between male lead or female lead stories before you can go any further. WTF?

And that’s weird, but this gets so much worse. This is basically a pay-to-read site that has different subscription models. Which… okay BUT! The authors don’t get paid! Look at that comment again. They’re promising a supportive and nurturing community, but zero monetary compensation. It’s basically, “post your stuff here so we can get paid and you can get… nice vibes?” I mean look at this Orwellian writing:

Using the phrase “pay-to-read model” in the same sentence as “qualitative changes in lifestyles for authors” deliberately makes you think that you can get paid and maybe even make a living on this website. But that’s not actually what it says and authors will not receive one red cent.

Oh but wait, the worst is still to come. In case this breaks containment (which I kind of hope it does) this is where I mention that I’m a lawyer in the US.

I don’t do intellectual property or copyright law but I do read and write contracts for a living. So I went to look at their terms of service. It was fun!

Highlights the first, in which Webnovel gets a license to do basically whatever they want with content you post on their site. This is how they get to be paid for people reading authors’ writing without paying them anything.

Highlights the second, in which Webnovel takes no responsibility for illegally profiting off of fan fic. This all says that the writer is 100% responsible for everything the writer posts (even though only Webnovel is making money from it).

Highlights the third which say that by posting, the author is representing that they have the legal right to use and to let Webnovel use the content according to these terms. So if a writer posts fan fiction and Webnovel makes money from people reading the fan fiction, and the House of the Mouse catches wise, these sections say that that’s ALL on the writer.

So that’s a little skeevy to start off with but the thing that is seriously shitty and made me make this post was that these assholes are coming to ao3. They are actively recruiting people in comments on their fan fiction. And they are saying they are big fans of the character you’re writing about and that they share your interests.

They are recruiting fan fiction writers and giving every impression that you can make money from posting fan fiction on their site and hiding the fact that you absolutely cannot but they can make money off of you while you try, deep in their terms of service which no one but a lawyer who writes fan fic and has some time to kill will read.

I see posts on here regularly from people who don’t understand how this stuff works, don’t understand that they (and others) can not legally make a financial profit from fan fiction. And there are tons of people who will not take the time to dig into the details.

Don’t deal with these bastards. Fuck Webnovel.

Code Red: Minimum wage Employment

Today's code red article is focused on employment and the secret hidden crises of working class labor. Not to insult fast food workers many in my target demographic work at these locations. First of all I respect you all and the sacrifice you all make daily.

I'm maybe white amercan culture fast food jobs are for young people starting out and move on to more lucrative employment. Maybe in white suburban culture this makes sense.

But in the inner city it's not the same you see many people over 30 working at fast food restaurants. Especially you see tons of immigrant Latino workers the most abused labor force in this country. Many people go in-between this and unemployment, this and prison, this and public housing and welfare.

After this there's blue collar work which has mostly white men running these companies and the immigrants , black guys work the more laborious parts of labor. Like shoveling snow with a shovel, the white supervisor has a snow blower and leads the team. Most then do the back breaking work. Working at amazon warehouse is cool for 1 month imagine doing 15 years at Amazon warehouse ? 20 years shoveling dirt 50 hours a week to survive and you get the least money? Many men did this these are"Good Jobs " in the black community. I know a few of these brothers they got a check after 20 years of hard work and are now disabled with all types of injuries and barely own anything in real lofe after it's all over. A few got paid they were the few fortunate ones most peoplee got burnt up in the process

After this it's the supposed black elite in corprate or office jobs. Most take on these token positions and deal with watching other get screwed over or helping screw over poorer less Fortunate minorities. I remember I had a job all we did was lie to the kids and collect checks knowing good and well they were sabotaging the kids. But pay a minorities enoug they will say or do anything. Many of these sympathize emotionally with the minorities but will absolutely never put that before getting their paychecks. So you'll see the say sorry offer apologies , smooth things over then flush all these others down the toilet like a criminal. They will do their jobs no matter what and do whatever they say find a way to justify their actions as long as they get paid. They are prostitutes for the kkk and have little to no real power on purpose. They will be in advertisements, be seen in public , hold important meetings and conferences, be put on special committees and be emotional , personable, and charismatic in certain moments. But with no real power this is just the appearance of well ran diverse organization. But with no real power they are actually doing a disservice to the minority population. They will be the picture in public of progress. They will compare other less fortunate black to thes few minority people. They will be the example model minorities. They will a hire a few minorities to hit this level . If there are 100 minorities they will hire 5 of them for these jobs . They will be isolated from other blacks especially realblack people and become white workers defacto like that black cop that helped kill George Floyd he was just doing it for the check he wasn'treally into it like the white officers. See doing the work of the enemy i call this white face. A disease amongst the black elite.

This is the minority workers paradigm . These are the only viable options for the community.We mostly work to.supprt white America and white men's dreams. We work to fulfill their dreams and plans and go home to a dirty neglected community. We work to enrich a culture that operees us and is considered mostly white benefits mostly the white male community only. Your focus daily is on someone else communiyt, culture, society yiu csnt really be a part of in real lofe for 1000 reasons. You clean their community, raise their kids , support their dreams. Your kids neglected, your community in shambles , you don't own a damn thing and your problems go unattended to. You care more for their minor problems then you do for your own major problems. You care more of their health then you do your own. Thier homes are clean and orderly you help them. You live in public housing ? And these contradictions go on and on and on.

This is criminal by the entities they are well aware ...... the worst part

Here is the hardest but most important part of this what'd the temporary solution and long term plan to address and fix these issues. I'm going to create a few ideas to use to fix these issues .

Contact Local Authorities: This us an important step especially if you get a lot if people focused and participating in these activities. I would recommend Contacting governmeny officials and hounding them instead of getting emotional and wasting time and energy feeling bad. Do not jus5 get depressed , down quiet and suicidal . Don't just blame yourself it's not just you. If you did your part and it didn't work correctly it's the responsibility of those in authority to fix these isdhes. That's important to remember. Many people fall into depression Instead don't. Start calling, emailing and harassing the local authorities untill.they fix the problem correctly. So when you get depressed or mad about your job or work issues sand a email to the mayor , senator, police etc and get as many people on your side and get Proactive about fixing your life's problems. Organize around a cause that be fir your community. You spend all day on.their issues it's time to get your problems fixed to. This can.be effective if your not working do this find some way to be useful everyday.

Organize politically with others with similar issues: The tendency is to do the opposite in our community that's from the penitentiary culture we were born into. We gotta make sure we are organizing with others that share your interest. Like your coworkers, neighbors and family. Get together r raise awareness and organize around the goal of improving your community first instead of living another person's dream. Start a group , raise awareness and talk about important issues to your community that are unaddressed. Just focusing on these issues daily helps your community. Eventually you will have a plan to fix more things..the worst part is sitting by inactive and waiting to fail do not do that , fight depression and organize Instead

Organize protest and civil disobedience: this is the last step. If you cannot pay your real bills at your job it would be useful to refuse work, protest and boycott businesses. Underpayment is a violent act , raising rent is a violent act these are. Criminal acts disguised aa laws and rules.

If yiu can't pay bills regularly and you gave a 40 hour job then it's time to take this steps. Stop letting them get away with doing you ldirty you will regret it later. I belive this is where most of you should be on this issue. I recommend mass protest , and disobedient acts to destroy the corrupted system.

[foxbullfrog]

so... um

i abandoned this blog for 2 years during which time my old url (@foxsbullfrog) was stolen so i’ve got close as i could get, but i wanted to join you all for the last ever episode of the xfiles next week !!! (crazy since i remember when we didn’t even think the revival would happen...) and i didn’t feel like just Turning up out the blue. if you’re seeing this it means you used to follow me pre-2k16 and um lol you probably now have no idea who i am now so to Maybe jog your memory:

- my name is lydia im from london 

-i used to make xf comedy screenshot edits like (x), shitposts (x) (x), and art (x)(x) (mostly amateur william art)  

- my main claims to fame in this fandom are probably that i coined the term ‘unidentified flying fuck’ (x), and i once locked myself in a bathroom for 3 hours during an award show.

- i intend to kickstart my return with a potato man related post. you’re welcome
