New Pages on Wednesdays~

A small announcement regarding tumblr’s change of TOS. 

This is Bucket talking. I’m still processing these awful news. This comic itself will not feature adult content within its main pages, but the new TOS just don’t Sit Right With Me, you know? I loved the freedom tumblr meant for me, and for my friends. The diversity of content it allowed had a really big impact in my life and my sexuality, and the way I see the world now as a grown-ass person. It impacted profoundly in my self-esteem and my perception of beauty. 

This is a terrible move from Yahoo, but this is the way they’ve been killing all the immensely popular sites they acquire, so even though I’m terribly sad, I can’t say I’m surprised.

Regardless of whether our comic fits the new TOS or not, having to constantly be on the lookout for tumblr wrongly flagging our pages is an exhausting thought, to say the least. Faulty algorithms are the worst solution they could’ve come up with tbh.

I’ve discussed it a bit with Xander, but honestly it’s a bit of a turbulent time for the both of us, so making any big changes right now is not possible. We will continue to post the comic here for now, and also on Tapas. We’ll be looking into other options in the meantime. Hope you guys stick with us. 

See you next week, 

Bucket and Xander

Japan’s complete lack of understanding of declining birth rates in relation to its work culture reminds me a lot of how America has an assumption that millennials are killing industries when the truth is they are more frugal because of a lack of funds.

Both come from a conservative mindset that neglects the impact that a toxic work culture can have on society.

A 80+ hour work week in order to maintain financial stability isn’t exactly a solid ground to date people and eventually build a family from a healthy relationship.

A workforce comprised of 20 somethings that make between 20-40k a year in entry positions isn’t a good ground to build a reliable consumer base when a huge chunk of that is going to rent, utilities, car payments, and student loans.

This is a fascinating connection, you should write a paper on this

I am convinced that, in general, people want to have families. Many, if not most, would be happy to raise children. But in order to have children and raise them, especially to do so well, people need happy, stable relationships, financial security and time to devote to – you know – actually raising the child. You need both money and time to do that.

If people are not given the time and means to be able to create social connections and strong relationships, to devote to parenthood and family, then they are not going to do it. How can they?

If anything Millennials are out there trying to prove that we’re better potential parents than our parents were, because we’re practicing safe sex, using contraception and abortion to make sure we’re not bringing a child into a life that’s a financial mess where we’re working too many hours to even raise the kid. Prior generations complain that we were raised by TV and video games, and that may be true, but the thing is, we know that the reason we had to be raised by TV and video games is that their workaholic butts were never home to do it themselves, and we’re not going to do that to the next kids. And that may mean not having kids until conditions are right.
