Do you like bookstores? Do you like unions? Do you like bookstores having unions?
Answer yes to any of those questions, and boy howdy, do I have a call to action for you.
Half Price Books employees at several locations across the country have organized and, after months of being dehumanized by corporate lawyers, have finally reached the financial part of their contract! Hurray!
Except not hurray, because they are refusing to even budge on giving anything more than a pathetic 1% increase. And what’s worse, is the offer is actually a thinly veiled 6-7% pay cut, due to taking away quarterly bonuses that make up so much of the employees’ income.
There’s thankfully something you can do about it though! The unionized workers are partnered with UFCW, and they have made a website that has made it super easy to tell Half Price Books that you think their employees deserve a living wage.
The company has proven that it cares a great deal about its image, so any public support can give the bargaining employees a lot more power over their contracts. It only takes a couple minutes to fill out and any and all help is greatly appreciated.
it’s still baffling how many manga readers are infruiated by perfectly acceptable official translations because they unironically want stuff like this
this show called “The Yuzuki Family’s Four Sons” started airing yesterday and Crunchyroll is distributing it in English and several other languages, but for whatever reason the English translation is extremely bad, to the point that the show is currently unavailable while they fix? it? i don’t think anyone outside of the company is entirely sure what the hell happened yet, especially because some people have confirmed that other, non-English translations of the episode on CR seem fine, but people are mostly guessing it has to do with MTL
cue these guys clamoring in to go “well actually i love eating shit mmmm mmm yummy yummy glllorpph jjjjjjjjdggggh” because it will own evil localizers somehow
A job I was applying for mentioned I would be working with something called a “frosted flatwoods salamander”, which sounded positively delightful, so I looked them up and I could not be more pleased with what this beast looks like
literally the most normal tag i have seen on this. thank you for simply tagging #dog and not “you must answer his riddles three” or “why the long face” or “he is melting!” etc.
(through gritted teeth) become unembarrassable. become unembarrassable become unembaRGHGHHHHH (remembering something unhinged i did 15 years ago in a sudden and desperate attempt to be perceived)
I’ve just learned of the existence of the website historyofhyrule dot com, and it has an incredible amount of rare Zelda art. And my favourite thing is how back then the artists of guidebooks and tie-in stories only had tiny sprites to work with, and as a result we have a whole bunch of versions of the characters.
