US not yet in recession and 4 other takeaways from the Fed

US not yet in recession and 4 other takeaways from the Fed

WASHINGTON — Jerome Powell delivered a tough message at the start of a news conference Wednesday: Inflation is way too high, and the Federal Reserve is laser-focused on taming it with higher borrowing costs. Yet despite his resolute words, the Fed chair also said for the first time that the central bank’s actions are already having an effect on the economy in ways that could slow the worst…

turned 30 yesterday and thought about how incredible it is to be publicly trans in a very prominent tech field, and how amazing the outpouring of support has been. feeling good about life and happy to still be here :)

#incessant meowing #me #and the best part is that i'm not the only public figure trans person #the awful hateful people are still out there for sure but like..... the support is stronger #we are finding community and employment and it's NORMAL #it's still hard sometimes but for the most part i realize that i am just.... /safe/ #and the realization hits me like a freight train every time and makes me want to weep with gratitude! #like i'm still here!! i'm still here and i'm not going anywhere!!! #it's bittersweet to think about the fight that went into this and still goes into this #not just for me but every lgbt person in america right now #but i am never ever going to take for granted the fact that i am standing on a mountain built by decades of activism #and i hope i can help pave the path up it for others to follow

Unfortunately, as much as I love this mod - I mean, it’s beautiful! Just look at it! - it does have a game-crashing bug D: For some reason skeletons can’t get jobs, it crashes the game lol, so as much as I’d love to have Gaster in the Science career, he is a stay-at-home parent! That’s fine, nannies suck in TS2 lol. There’s also only a few clothing options but I’m gonna try some poking around to at least expand upon what’s there already :D

I ended up using the stretchSkeleton cheat - hehe, skeleton - to make Papyrus a bit taller and Sans a bit smaller. It’s only really noticeable in their ankles, and their animations are a bit misaligned, but other than that it’s very cute! :D Sans is also chubby but it’s kinda hard to tell :0

Sans, stop breaking the fourth wall!

Look how little he is compared to his brother hehe

Also, and I did not edit or plan this - they naturally started falling into their relationship dynamics! Gaster and Sans have a much lower Short Term Relationship here than Gaster and Papyrus haha

Would that I could! I was still testing at this point and yup, it crashed. Sadge

Well even if I can’t get the jobs, I can still cheat-unlock the Career Awards! Scientist behaviour lol

Look at their delicate little haaands

Did you know that Gaster sucks? He does!

Oh what are skeletons not your type? Don’t be rude

Sans even rejected him when Gaster offered to dance together! I love them

Gaster’s POV - he was listening to Sans tell a joke and next in the queue Papyrus wanted to show off to him. So accurate haha

Papyrus’ POV, of course he’s friends with both of them, sweet boy

And Sans’, look at how much more he thinks of his brother over Gaster! What more could I ask for honestly

Only concerned with Gaster seeing lol, Papyrus is way closer! He doesn’t count haha

Racecar bed babyyyy

Retextured the outfit for Papyrus, so now they’re much easier to tell apart! :D

Crossover babies ♪ One of the Todds walked by and I just now realized I also gave them a red/blue twin aesthetic haha

And that’s all he’ll want and care about from now on :)

Hehe. He gets it!

Papyrus is bad at making friends! Sans there in the background passively ++ing with Todd lol, he’s a natural

#WPVG #WPTS2 #The Sims 2 #The Sims #UT #Handplates #Just a bit of silliness! There's only so much I can do with them until I get them some Slightly better clothes haha #You can see I didn't even bother making them a proper house in this lot lol #I also keep accidentally making just ''normal'' Sims in this town - this is meant to be a test town to see clothes and mods in action! #I have made a couple more skeletons dotted around town just to double-triple-quadruple check about getting jobs and yeahhh #One went so sideways that her house caught fire and she died so I had to reload - it was a whole thing lol #But other than the limited clothes and inability to hold down gainful employment - lol - skeletons seem to work just fine :) #Chubbiness on kids is like - barely different pft #There Is a difference but it's so subtle! I guess it's fine #I know there are ways to make specific outfits their own body shape mesh - I wonder if that would be easier or harder for skeletons haha #It's not like I'd be changing the body shape just the way the clothes settle around it #Though I think there is actually a ''physical'' body it's just invisible? It's very strange! I like it #ANYway lol #I did download a couple new coats to see if I could figure out how to reverse-engineer an outfit but so far no success haha #Gonna keep trying! Slowly but surely #Until then it's so fun to see how they all interact and act hehe <3 #Papyrus runs everywhere for example - I set his Active to full I think haha - Sans of course is lazy ♪ #I could also have babybones or teen skeles - maybe at some point! The clothes... #So much customizable potential and then all the work that goes into it! Haha ♪

i often call my dissociation 'autopilot' because it works well as an explanation but my god do i feel like an actual robot on autopilot these days. not just because 'i'm not in control of myself' or whatever, that's normal, but because i feel like the autopilot is beginning to break down. i've been zoned out for so long that it's run out of normal behavior to reference, so it's referencing what was a shoddy replica to begin with, and that results in a lot of oddities

mostly i've been noticing myself happily responding to people without actually even looking in their direction. like my eyes and head will just lock and i'll go a whole conversation animatedly replying while looking in the wrong spot (i'm usually very good about eye contact, or at the very least looking at people). also my reaction time / processing speed is waaaay slowed to the point where i'm starting to get nervous about driving so. that's cool

#cannot figure out what the hell is going on ive been told my dissociation/derealization is largely a defensive response #but the fuck am i defending against now? im not actively in college for a few months i dont have (read: can't find) a job i do nothing 24/7 #i do not feel like a human person. and i USUALLY dont but now i really dont #what if my brain melted into schlock. that would be nice #sparks speaks #/vent #sorry new followers this is the only place employers dont check so its my silly diary <3 #block sparks speaks or vent if u dont wanna see idm

we need to radically rethink omegaverse lore to include 100000% more moose biology

#DID YOU KNOW MOOSE SHED THEIR VELVET AT THE BEGINNING OF THEIR RUTS??? #like. when the antlers grow every year they're fisrt covered in a thin highly vascular layer of skin to facilitate growth #but then the velvet comes off and that signifies the beginning of the rut #AND THEN THE ANTLERS FALL OFF TOO but that's later have not yet figured out how that plays into the rut timeline #but anyway um antlerverse when??? #my employer's opinions #moose

As I apply to new jobs, I just found a job listing which states:

Advise the customer on Sapio Science best practice, ensure the deployment is best placed to succeed

and I can't help but think of Monstrous Agonies!

Only sapio science??? How discriminatory!

#monstrous askbox #good luck on the job hunt!! #i have an interview on wednesday that im really hoping i get #part-time in a second hand bookshop i was BORN for this #luck luck luck to anyone else seeking gainful employment! #may your interviews be several and your rejection letters few but also may you actually get them instead of just never hearing back #i once got a rejection letter a full year after applying #like yeah babe i actually figured that one out by myself #thanks though

i havent seen my closest friends in a few weeks and it’s mostly my fault…idk im just really not in a good mental state rn im unfortunately falling back into a depressive/suicidal state again. My most loved and cherished friends are very successful (rightfully so) and though they are extremely supportive, loving, caring, and genuine towards me, i can’t help but think that i bring nothing to the table as of rn. I know that friendship isn’t transactional and that they’d never treat me as someone disposable just because of my shortcomings and will always support me as best as they could, but my insecurities are literally taking over LOL. I just feel really embarrassed bc we all started at the same time and they’re exactly where they should be while I’m still behind, waiting for things to start looking up for me. I don’t have anything new to say like they usually do and I know that I can’t really relate to their experiences. I’m just not on the same page as them. None of them make me feel alienated or isolated by any means, they believe in me more than I believe in myself actually, I just feel like I’m stuck in a rut. I want to be at the same place as they are but I’m not right now and I just feel really embarrassed about it. Forcing myself to stay home on days off is how I’m coping rn.

#personal #lol sorry emotional post #2023 is just starting off rough…i still have hope but now i know what they meant when they said hope is a dangerous thing to have lol #[they- the unknown deity] #my best friend sends me any and every position she comes across (that aligns w my field) for post grad and is very supportive #but i just feel so sad bc my brain literally keeps telling me that i dont deserve to have these beautiful friendships bc im not on their #level and it’s literally eating away @ my brain #i know im still in college and should just solely focus on finishing up this semester #but this is my last semester iA so i have no choice but to worry about employment post grad #my internship managers are looking thru my resume and said theyd connect me to some ppl but havent heard back from them yet :( #i think i feel this way bc my family treats me very differently now #like i can feel their disappointment and they make sure to mention it too #but im not a bum LOL the only thing i want and need from this world is success! aka a corporate job that pays me six figures

woooo ok well time to stop looking at furthering education options for right now. It's just overwhelming. I have genuinely zero direction right now so I can't narrow down the most useful degree when I don't even know what I'd be putting it towards. 4-year is very much expected of me, so I need to find SOMETHING, but I'm really coming up empty right now. Sigh. Just kind of complaining. I know this is THE MOST NORMAL FEELING EVER for being my age, but that doesn't make it any easier.

#long tags. i'm just talkin' and spiralin'. as you do over these things. #like. ok I took cultural geography and ADORED it #I love the sociology aspect of it #but a sociology degree wouldn't be good for me because I couldn't work in that field #I love the demographic/statistical/methodological aspect of it #but that requires math which is the number one thing I CAN'T do #the other side is the more social work based things that are like. ok how and why does xyz problem form in xyz communities or locations #and how can we fix it #everything gets to me and i'd get REALLY fucking sad really quickly in a social work sort of setting #and like i've BEEN the kid with 5 social workers and it's not an environment I would ever go back into. even on the other side of it #so i can't do the logical aspect of it and i can't do the more human based aspect of it #I know an english degree would be something I could do. my aunt and grandmother have one #and it's a wide enough net that I can use it for a lot of career paths. it leaves options wide open #and there's cultural studies within that that would connect to the sociological things I like studying #minus the more math prominent aspects of it #and once I DO find a job i need to make sure it's one i can physically do with my EDS POTS MCAS bullshittery #which is a WHOLE ASS OTHER THING #but i don't need this all figured out on a random monday evening #this is without me worrying about housing and employment during school and being able to handle it all with the adhd demons #bc sometimes two courses online is too much for me bc ADHD and pots brain fog. bc tldr i never have enough oxygeon or blood in my brain #which makes thinking difficult #and just. AUGH i do not need to figure it out right now!!!!!!!!!!!!1 #this has STOPPED BEING USEFUL #only posting this bc i know other people feel the same sort of 'lost' otherwise i'd save it for my therapist #but this is tumblr so like i can just say shit here. if you think it's annoying you can leave ily but this is my house

being a teacher sucks if only because your boss is literally the principal which means whenever you have to have like a normal employee meeting for normal reasons with your boss you are in fact sitting in the principals office. hoping that you are not in trouble.

#two worst kinds of authority figure all in one. employment boss AND principal
