#that is just. that is FARM labor.

[ace-and-ranty]

Petty opinion of the day: Pari's Paloma's Labour bothers me for no end for the way it can't pick a setting.

The clip is very medieval-coded, she sings about fetching water from the well and tending the orchards... so like? Are you meant to be a farmer's wife in a historical past? But then she starts talking about "weaponized incompetence" which is a very modern concept that much more evokes urban living and men pretending they can't use the damn washing machine. She's sitting at his "high table", but singing about his "picket fence dreams"?

PICK A LANE, WOMAN?? Are you talking about historical or modern women?! THEIR OPPRESSION DOESN'T WORK THE SAME.

a pet peeve of mine is stuff proudly labelled vegan but it's farmed w slave labor. like how is that vegan then.

we made this without exploiting or harming any animals!!! (but the human children forced into dangerous and underpaid agricultural labour to make this product don't matter i guess???)

like how are you gonna try to sell me child abuse chocolate and tell me it's vegan like come on

[cthulhu-with-a-fez]

other people have probably already said this but like. it's been a shockingly nice experience to watch the dungeon meshi fandom go absolutely NUTS over falin. just this unbelievable wellspring of thirsty romantic eye for her, and not only is she chubby in canon, most of the fanart i've seen has skewed towards drawing her even chubbier? i... genuinely do not think i've ever seen that before. i don't think i've ever been in an anime fandom where someone both looks like me and is the subject of such enthusiastic adoration BECAUSE she's fat before.

it's... it's really nice.

🥕 and 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕? :D

Does your OC believe that someone needs to hit rock bottom - or at least suffer the full consequences of their poor choices - before they can be helped to make positive changes? Or would they spare no effort in trying to help a friend or family member they percieved as trapped in a cycle of negative behaviour?

Oh no. Rowan is not going to let someone flounder about in error until they hit rock bottom - she's too sensitive about those types of things. She's going to try and help, whether or not it ends up being the right thing for that person to learn the lesson. If Rowan sees you approaching rock bottom and isn't fussing over you... she has washed her hands of the situation and probably isn't planning on helping even after you hit it.

Has your OC ever been involved in farming or agriculture? Or have they tilled the earth in a more modest setting? What is their view of food production in society? Is it something they understand and value? Or do they make little connection between the food they eat and the labour required to produce it?

So Rowan's cute flaw that keeps her from being perfect is that she cannot keep plants alive. She can't remember when she watered last and having a regimented schedule to keep something as boring (to her) as a plant alive is not enjoyable to her. She is very grateful to the people who can grow plants, and her mother drilled into her and her brother the value of all kinds of goods, including food.

Thanks for the ask!

My mini contribution to @echoes-lighthouse's Evil Slasher Orphanage! My wife Anna and I are here to help, and brought a few more kids of our own.

I really thought I was a horror fan until I sat down to draw this and came up blank. I guess I'm not a slasher guy, because a LOT more Monsters and Beasts came to mind, so it took a while to form a list. Though I did include Sam who is certainly a Creeture but.. They're human enough.

Hey remember how in episode 5 they were joking around about how Taako "was destined to be a different class" and only picked wizardry because he made a mistake somewhere along the line and should've been doing something else with his life...... And look where we are now, baby. The world's most insufferable (affectionate) Ranger

not to mention that corsets are actually incredibly helpful if you’re a farmer, or you’re someone who has to be on their hands and knees a lot. they provide excellent back support. the history writer Ruth Goodman has written a lot about it. also, if you genuinely believe no one can do work in a skirt, watch literally any history re-enactors with women. you’ll see the kind of freedom of movement a skirt offers.

Feminist fantasy is funny sometimes in how much it wants to shit on femininity for no goddamned reason. Like the whole “skirts are tools of the patriarchy made to cripple women into immobility, breeches are much better” thing.

(Let’s get it straight: Most societies over history have defaulted to skirts for everyone because you don’t have to take anything off to relieve yourself, you just have to squat down or lift your skirts and go. The main advantage of bifurcated garments is they make it easier to ride horses. But Western men wear pants so women wearing pants has become ~the universal symbol of gender equality~)

The book I’m reading literally just had its medievalesque heroine declare that peasant women wear breeches to work in the field because “You can’t swing a scythe in a skirt!”

Hm yes story checks out

peasant women definitely never did farm labour in skirts

skirts definitely mean you’re weak and fragile and can’t accomplish anything

skirts are definitely bad and will keep you from truly living life

no skirts for anyone, that’s definitely the moral of the story here

Weird to see a white american with a farm with several animals, that he takes care of not for food but for fun, shaming artists for selling stickers and plushies to pay their bills, and calling them petit burgeoise. Yes we can discuss about how the companies that manufacture the products you're selling can be exploitative and all, but uhhhh first, claiming that if you're not personally printing those stickers or sewing the plushies one by one means you don't create shit is weird af, and second, what a wack distortion of what's the small burgeoise, considering artists a lot of times are barely scraping by their basic necessities, and third, calling the things artists create superfluous and things that shouldn't be sold because it's "morally bad" just sounds like a poorly disguised version of the very conservative ideas of "useful vs useless" degrees that bases their entire discussion gutting the studies of anything that creates dissenting ideology from their hogwash brainwash. Idk, sometimes I feel like a bunch of self-fashioned leftist ideologues are more in it for feeling great about themselves than for actually helping anyone.

tendency of rate of profit to fall has "forced" American manufacturing to outsource abroad because the labor cost was cheaper. In order to continue making profit, domestically, wages must be suppressed, in direct opposition to demand for higher wages ($15/hr isn't enough to make rent in some places now). One of the solutions that capitalist liberal democracy has for this contradiction is prison labor, pennies for wages or otherwise legalized slavery. Oh look what a coincidence that bipoc are historically and routinely targeted for incarceration, and homelessness is both on the uptick and increasingly criminalized.

i just think itd be funny if he goes through with the 100% tariffs. us hegemony ended in a week
