quick protip: if someone is crying or freaking out over something minor, eg wifi not connecting, can’t find their hat, people talking too loud, do NOT tell them how small or petty the problem is to make it better. they know. they would probably love to calm down. you are doing the furthest possible thing from helping. people don’t have to earn expressions of feelings.
I’m just gonna put it out there that if someone’s freaking about something small, they’re really freaking out about something big that they’re trying to deal with, or something long term that’s been building up, and that little thing is the straw that broke the camel’s back.
I don’t know, try and give people the benefit of the doubt. Don’t be the next straw on their broken back.
Needed this today.
People don’t actually go from 0 to 60. If you think they did, you have failed to notice how long they’ve been at 59.
I’m sick of people treating YouTubers like bums. I decided to speak out.
I appreciate it :) we’re more than just the money we earn
Except none of that is actually work.
Realistically they have to produce an hours content a day
Now the bigger youtubers have more edited stuff. So an hours content could be 3 hours of footage recorded. Maybe more.
So 3 hours of recording 4 hours editing That’s 7 hours A day 7 days a week.
49 hours a week 2,548 hours a year 461 hours more than the average amount of hours worked in a year.
That’s before you account for fan correspondence and other social media stuff.
That’s how they make money. It’s a job Therefore it’s work.
Screaming into a camera and playing and is not work
By that logic. Acting Music Anything to do with television Stand up comedy
None of those things would be work because they’re doing something they enjoy.
They’re doing it to entertain others.
Ah yes, it’s not work, that means anyone should be able to do it with equal success.
Good luck, your time begins now.
Respect YouTubers 2k17
Wow holy shit
ENJOYING WHAT YOU DO DOES NOT NEGATE THE EFFORT PUT INTO YOUR CAREER
When I got my first internship at a tv production company my mother gave me a talk about how I’d have to work very very hard at it. I was like yes? Obviously? But then my mother said “I don’t think you’ve ever worked hard a day in your life.”
Insulted, I asked how all of the art/theatre/film stuff I’d been doing over the years didn’t count as hard work. My mother shrank back and said that she guessed that stuff counted.
When I talked to my therapist about this, she said that my parents associated “work” with suffering. That if the act brings you joy and not pain, than it must not be work, even if it’s difficult and takes significant amounts of time. I think a lot of people also have this sort of block, that work = suffering. It’s a sort of mentality that causes one to look down on certain careers, particularly those in the art and entertainment industries, even though they require just as much time and effort as anything else.
I know “destroy the idea” has become a bit of a cliche on tumblr, but seriously. Let’s distroy the idea that something isn’t work if it doesn’t bring you pain.
just so you all know……. if at any point in my lifetime the opportunity arises for me to go to those new planets………. im gone. especially if i have to be cryogenically frozen for a hundred years
since it’s a scary time to be trans: refuge restrooms is an app which maps gender-neutral/single-stall restrooms. it’s community-mapped, so it’s possible you might be the first person to log the restroom locations, but hopefully it’ll help some people.
please reblog this post if you’ve got trans followers. stay safe.
For my non-trans followers: please consider getting the app just so you can add neutral restrooms to the map when you run across them. Simple way to help.
name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher you’ve had, can you? probably not
ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether it’s their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a “native” name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didn’t even have to think
needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at work
White people specifically need to reblog this, I don’t CARE if it makes you uncomfortable–that’s the point. Listen to Native voices about Native issues PLEASE
