I beg pls I BEG artist that joined tumblr recently PLEASE tag your art with your tag, it can be “my art”, “myart “ “your url art” I beg I just want to go to your tumblr and see your art all in one place please I just want to see your art I am crying and beggigm
I don’t tag my art with “myart” because I was under the assumption that my art would then be bundled up with everyone on this site who uses that tag and instead I made my own one? Am I doing this correctly? ^^;;
As long as it’s all under one tag one can find in the same place by navigating to [your url].tumblr.com/tagged/[your tag]
Tumblr is actually surprisingly smart in this way!
By using the general search you can indeed, as acarrcreations expected, find a near-endless ocean of art by other cool people.
However, by going to someone’s blog and searching, rather than using the general search, you can find tags by that person, and it’s filtered only to them! Also, since Tumblr in its yesteryear was based on the anarchical concept of allowing anyone to edit anyone’s post (which has since changed lol), any action you can do to others’ blogs can also be self-applicatory - that is, you can search for tags on your own blog (again, not in the general search), and it will automatically filter it.
Y’all, these are just pink collar jobs. The reason you think there’s so many “mean girls” in these fields is because they’re all like 97% women. Of course some of them are gonna be assholes. There’s assholes everywhere.
We get it. Your job isn’t like other girls’ jobs. It’s a cool job.
it’s true that there are some incredibly cruel people in all of these professions.
it’s also true that they all suffer from chronic underpayment, overwork, lack of institutional support, and insane bureaucratic demands that would make them fail the people in their care all the time even if every single one was a saint.
That’s absolutely missing the point.
While those are all “helper” professions and they very much are pink collar (and are underpaid, that’s not an incompatible idea), they’re also ones that involve power over vulnerable people’s lives. (And I’ve only encountered it as a comparison to, say, male bullies becoming cops, it’s not like men aren’t being mentioned here.)
Secretaries/administrative assistants aren’t on that list for a reason. Flight attendants aren’t on that list. Housecleaners aren’t on that list. Receptionists. Customer service representatives. Dental hygienists. The people who style hair or do nails. That’s not a list of pink collar jobs. It’s specifically (pink collar) positions where if you want to abuse people you’re relatively likely to get away with it.
It can both be true that “nurses who care for disabled people need better pay” and “nurses who care for disabled people have a lot of opportunities to abuse their power and that’s something worth talking about.”
Women aren’t immune from treating people badly because they’re women, or because women are underpaid. They’re sure not immune from specifically seeking out jobs that will allow them to be cruel without any consequences to them, if they get personal satisfaction out of being cruel.
You are trying to shut down a conversation about abuse.
Shitty people are attracted to positions of power. That includes working class women!
There have been a lot of studies about hazing and abuse in nursing communities and even murder!
My mother is a nurse, her co-workers sit around laughing about the people who fall out of their wheel chairs, about the nurses who do cry when someone dies, my mother has ignored patients crying out in pain in order to drink her coffee.
My mother has intentionally let elderly patients at her nursing home die. She has abused them and she has laughed about it. She has left people suffering and has caused that suffering.
Nurses are underpaid and they are disrespected as medical professionals who aren’t a doctor. That’s true and we should talk about that, but we can not ignore the fact that violent women seek out these jobs with God Complexes and the intent to do harm.
Sure, that harm might be because they are bitter, over-worked, and disrespected. None the less, it is no different than when a male doctor causes purposeful harm to his patient.
Nurses contribute to eugenics, to patient abuse, elder abuse, and yeah even child abuse (my mother was proficient in all of them!)
Here are some important articles to read:
Nurses Eat Their Young An article about hazing and bullying among nurses. The title comes from a common saying in medical circles, the first time I heard it, it was in reference to my mother’s best friend who had poured coffee over the hands of a new nurse who had reported another nurse to a superior for abusing a patient.
[ID: Two tweets by magnuswlitb that read: for 15 years we made fun of my dad for saying he wants a vacuum for christmas every year, but we finally got him a nice dyson and you know what? he’s walking around, vacuuming all every room, muttering “this is a game changer.” say what you will but the man knows what he wants
my older sister would always insist “no no no we have to get him something he’ll ENJOY” and this is frankly humiliating for her. he just discovered the “max suction” setting and he’s happier than he was at our births. End ID]
