pls stop saying "gay panic" to mean swooning they need to make hrt that replaces your skin with metal plates and your internal organs with circuitry  > sees complaints that a female character looks "too masculine" or "like an ugly lesbian" > ask if we got an actual butch character or if shes just a normal looking woman that isnt wearing make up and a dress > person is visibly confused, i start explaining the difference between actual butch presentation and dress and a woman simply dressing comfortably to avoid indecent exposure > person laughs and says "she straight up looks like a guy, i can barely tell her apart from the actual men" > google the character > shes just a normal looking woman that isnt wearing make up and a dress > sees complaints that a female character looks "too masculine" or "like an ugly lesbian" > ask if we got an actual butch character or if shes just a black woman > person is visibly confused, i start explaining the difference between actual butch presentation and dress and how black women are held to white standards of femininity and are often accused of looking like/being men because of white people applying these standards to them > person laughs and says "she straight up looks like a guy, i can barely tell her apart from the actual men. why are you bringing race into this?" > google the character > shes just a black woman  SOMEONE TELL MY UNEMPLOYED HUSBAND TO GET A FUCKING JOB ALREADY. HES JUST LOUNGING AROUND THE HOUSE AND COMPLAINING. The more I read into reports about industrial and transportation accidents the less I feel like “operator error” actually exists Ok so “doesn’t exist” may be a slight overstatement. A better way of phrasing it might be “operator error is often used as a way of warding off close examination of how systems fail.” You read about airlines accidents attributed to pilot error, and almost universally you find overworked, overtired people who have to deal with inadequate training, and poorly maintained equipment. Often investigations uncover a pattern of management ignoring problems that pilots regularly have to deal with. Out-of-date terrain data, false sensor readings, confusing systems presentation, fatigue. The cargo airline industry fights to keep its pilots exempt from crew rest requirements and a fatigued crew crashes a mile short of the runway. Only the two crew on board die, so really it’s no big deal, right? Amtrak builds a new bypass to cut 10 minutes off the travel time from Portland to Seattle but doesn’t give the engineers enough training to prepare them for it, nor installs adequate signage to warn of a 30mph curve, so on the inaugural run the engineer hits the curve at 80 mph. Construction on a nuclear power plant runs into trouble and so to make a key pressure-bearing component fit, they install an S-bend around a pipe, which causes falsely water level readings. Operators open a valve to reduce what they think is excessively high pressure in the reactor and it melts down. And all of these get simplified, either initially, or in perpetuity, as operator error. Because operators are cheap and easy to replace. Firing someone and laying the blame on them is cheaper than reassessing and restructuring a management culture built on passing the buck. You can survive almost anything through the right combination of:
 sloppy grubby study of a columbo screenshot. He’s just got such je ne sais… what’s the word.. sometimes I wonder where my art would be if I wasn't constantly fighting my tablet's pressure sensitivity like oh my god. this is 400% zoom so it won’t be a big deal on the final piece but.  I know I have better pencil control than this traditionally. but I swear in 1/10 strokes the pressure sensitivity gets reset and suddenly it’s waaaaaaay darker or way lighter, and I have to constantly undo/re-adjust sometimes I wonder where my art would be if I wasn’t constantly fighting my tablet’s pressure sensitivity 1/2274 » Percent theme by hamaonoverdrive. |
