It’s like watching a car repeatedly drive straight into a wall. It’s unexplainable, it looks like it hurts a lot, but ultimately it ends up being darkly, ironically funny.
From my personal experience being an American on tumblr is like being the person in the BACK of the car praying that the person driving will STOP ramming into the wall.
A lot of us know this shit is stupid and we’re looking out the window like “LOOK THOSE OTHER CARS ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LETS BE LIKE THEM”
But the driver is like “FUCK YOU! BUILT FORD TOUGH! USA USA USA DONT LIKE IT, GET OUT!” but the doors are locked and the car is now smoking and threatening to catch fire.Reblogging for the followup comment! ‘cos that’s exactly what it’s like.

does anyone have like ten thousand dollars they don’t want
I would also like to apply for any amounts of ten thousand dollars just overflowing from anyone’s metaphorical back pocket.

Report: 95% Of Grandfathers Got Job By Walking Right Up And Just Asking
Fun story my history teacher told us: his grandfather during the industrial revolution walked past a flyer which said “looking for smart strong boys” so he went into the factory, said “i’m strong and smart”, and he had that job from age 13 to 78
and this is why they expect the younger generation to simply “get a job” ahh it’s so much clearer now
#basically everyone aged Baby Boomer and up #still can’t wrap their heads around the fact that there’s no such thing as ‘just walking in’ anymore #like the majority of jobs you’d actually want require online applications and you’re lucky to get a rejection email (via halffizzbin)
Here’s another fun story: My boss decided to slap my work phone number on all the ads we post looking for newspaper carriers. So I receive a bunch of calls from people looking for jobs. Working only part time, I’m not usually there when they call, so they have to leave a message and I take their info to pass on to my boss. Sometimes it can be weeks before my boss calls any of these applicants back, if at all. How the callers respond to not getting a callback varies. Most don’t do anything, but some call again. If the person sounds young, they may leave another message clarifying their qualifications and reaffirming their interest. If the person is old, and I can always hear it in their voice, they respond by getting mad, threatening to cancel their newspaper subscription, and occasionally swearing. The older generation is used to getting a callback, and an immediate one, so they throw a tantrum when they don’t get what they want.
And everyone calls Millennials entitled.
Mind. Blown.

@internutter ’s request. Poor Spine in that blue dress. But Mettaton adores.
I’m tired of getting these stupid offers to work on people’s “passion projects” for free, usually with the promise of compensation when/if the project takes off. Guess what? I don’t care that you’re passionate about it, I care if you’re competent. When you knock on my door asking for free work, its a clear sign that you aren’t. You might have hopes that your project hits it big and that you’ll eventually get rich off of it, but if you REALLY believed in it, I feel like you’d be more willing to put your own livelihood on the line instead of asking an artist to do it for you. If I do a bunch of free work hoping it’ll pay off, I’m not doing other work that could actually feed me and pay my bills. And what happens when the project doesn’t get funded or some important factor blows up or everyone decides to quit out early? I get screwed. So, no. I don’t want to work on your passion project. Not unless I get paid up front.
Not my art - but oh man.
Yes. This whole thing yes. Also, in advance: I charge my professional freelance rates on every project. It’s expensive. Deal with it. And no, I never have a shortage of work, as all the unpaid projects eating up my time are the ones I’m doing for myself that are putting me in debt. Because I believe in them.Also artists, for the love of god demand pay for your work! And not pay later, pay NOW, especially if you’ve never worked with the person before. Make contracts. You can get exposure by yourself. If someone’s not willing to pay you and you’re out of work, do a personal project. You’ll get JUST as much money that way and be much more personally fulfilled, and be bringing your dreams and ideas to life instead of someone else’s.
I am an artist who uses words. And once my work is finished, I don’t charge a lot to people because e-publishing expects a thing to be cheap.
But let me tell you something - I firkin pay the artist who does my covers EXACTLY WHAT HER WORK IS WORTH. And that’s two weeks’ worth of food money for me. [don’t worry, I’m not starving. I’m just stating an equivalent worth] Usually the arrangement is half before and half after.
It is not hard to pay an artist. Seriously. If your passion project is worth enough to you, it’s worth an agreed price in cold, hard cash.
