"But what if I can't afford to hire more employees?"

If you have more customers than your employees can handle and you're still not making enough, then you need to sort out your finances. Raise prices if necessary.

Your overhead isn't worth more than your workers' health.

If your employees are overworked your business model is flawed. If the revenue for doing what you do is not greater than the costs of doing what you do, then the thing you are doing is not viable. It’s not my job to subsidize your shitty planning for you.

Sometimes you have to just treat yourself like an overtired toddler.

“Okay, as soon as you finish this assignment you can take a little nap.”

“You just cleaned your room, good job!”

“Hmm..maybe eating a snack will stop you from wanting to cry.”

Sometimes? I think you mean all of the time.

Being an adult is just parenting yourself.

It’s true and highly effective self care. Speak to and treat yourself with the same love and care you would want your child self to be given.

That means: no insults or name calling. No judgement. Patience. Gentle firmness. Health, safety and happiness first. Encouragement. Rewards and validation for a job well done. Self soothing. And above all else, love. 

This is so important

We’ve all heard of Betty Boop. But how many of you knew that she was based off of a BLACK woman.

Yes Betty Boop was based off of Ms.Esther Jones known by her stage name “Baby Esther”. She was an African-American singer and entertainer of the 1920’s. Her singing trademark was “Boop oop da doop” hence the name Betty Boop! She performed regularly at the cotton club in Harlem,New York.

This isn’t even the best part about this. Betty Boop was based off Esther Jones, but a popular white singer at the time, Helen Kane, had also risen in popularity. While she was declining, Betty Boop was gaining traction. 

Kane tried to sue the creators of Betty Boop for a.) the character and b.) when she couldn’t, the “boop-oop-a-doop” that became the character’s trademark. 

The court found earlier evidence of Esther Jones singing at the Cotton Club in Harlem and determined that Helen Kane had ripped off Ms. Jones’ singing style. Unfortunately, Ms. Jones had passed, but they were able to find a recording, which meant that Ms. Kane couldn’t sue because the concept wasn’t hers. It was invented by Esther Jones. 

This is mostly true except that Betty wasn’t really based on Jones. Not totally, anyway. Her singing style was definitely inspired by her as Kane’s failed lawsuit proves, but outside of that, her character and overall appearance are easy-to-digest fiction intended for a 1930s American audience. OP’s picture, taken in 2008, is actually of a Russian model credited only as Olya. It’s just a Betty Boop cosplay. This is what Esther really looked like:

While it’s nice that Kane couldn’t profit off of a style she didn’t create, it’s ultimately another example of a Black artist pioneering work that is then whitewashed and capitalized upon without recognition. 

i don’t think you understand how much i love Shouyou

The dialogue would go somewhere along the lines “please realize that I love you so much my heart aches every night I’m not with you”

Please, please, if you have time, go listen to this song! It was the whole reason and inspiration for this drawing. Haha, it actually was thundering the whole time I was drawing this.
