#How to Day Trade for a Living

[coffeeandcalligraphy]

I was at an event recently celebrating the works of bipoc writers & something one of the speakers said stuck with me... they mentioned that so often we expect stories by bipoc writers to centre a culture/issue in order to "teach" something (usually to white readers) & this is something I've been talking about on and off for years... idk how to explain to white writers what it feels like to know that at least in this larger canon we call the publishing industry, bipoc voices *have* been "let in" (generalization) but mostly in a very specific way & with a specific purpose. the things I've been told/that I've learned... the way there truly is an expectation to "use my voice"--to do what? can my voice as a racialized writer not just... do what I want it to? is my voice not valuable if I don't "represent" myself? I LOVE seeing books that uplift & represent marginalized communities, that's not at all my issue, howeverrrr I don't like knowing that's the expectation of what I write just because of my skin. it makes navigating publishing even harder & honestly most of the time I feel doomed!! I'm relieved to hear more bipoc writers/publishing professionals talk about that because it's something I've silently been grappling with for years... I just want to write whatever I want to write & idk how to explain how isolating it is to know in the eyes of the current canon, it's bizarre that I'm not capitalizing on *my life* to make a literary impact...

#keeping this conversation to being a bipoc writer bc in my experience at the intersections of queer/disabled this is not the same #been having this convo on and off on my sideblog SO there are more unfiltered thoughts there lollll #I will keep it to this for now on here but yeahhhh #one final question I will put out is... how do white ppl think bipoc live their life & view their day to day? #bc this attempt at (capitalistic) diversity IMO has traded one type of othering for another !!! #*disclaimer that this convo has nuance etcccc

there's a very specific kind of vibe that comes with living with your friends in final year that it just does not have in first year or even second year. like as a fresher it's usually the first time any of you have lived away from home let alone with SO MANY people your age and it's terrifying and exciting and randomised to boot so it's generally carnage for a whole year in the best and worst ways, and then second year you pick who you're living with and it feels like for the first time you're doing this adult thing PROPERLY. you have a place of your own now. these are the people you've chosen to live with. studying gets serious etc. but it's still fresh. it's still new. you still don't know how to navigate it. but final year? final year is when you actually get it right. you know how to manage your time better. you know what works for you and what doesn't. studying is the main focus and you've been out in the world for three years now and it's not loud and boisterous like it was in first year and you're not exciteable and awkward like you were in second year. you're comfortable. every single one of my flatmates has their own friend group and we mainly keep to our own social circles, but we'll still meet each other back at the house after a night out and sit in the kitchen or my room to do the debrief. sometimes i'll go days not seeing either of them despite sharing a house but every now and then someone will softly call up the stairs that 'the heating's on!' or one of us will sneeze and the other two will yell 'bless you!' through the walls. the lack of interaction isn't interpreted as dislike in ways it would have been even last year, because we're all just old enough to be past that now and settled enough in our friendship not to worry about it. idk. uni is very loud and unsettling a lot of the time so it's been really sweet to see how almost boringly comfortable final year is.

#like my day today was literally drag myself out of bed at 10am to meet my econ friends bc we're in a group together #and i spent two hours with them writing a fucking TRADE REPORT before coming home #and the rest of the day was kinda lost. i showered. i put a wash on. i had a nap. i mainly stayed in my room #which sometimes is the End Of All Things but today was quite nice #and i can hear in their rooms how my flatmates are doing the exact same thing. pottering about and getting on with uni #and we've barely spoken all day but earlier my one flatmate ran into my room all excited to show me her nails #bc she's been teaching herself to do gels and it took her 2 hours but im still one of the first people she wanted to show #and just now we all went to use the bathroom at the same time and it led to one of our Stair Sessions #where we all inexplicably just gather on the stairs and chat for no reason with a cup of tea #idk it's just nice. it's such basic shit but i can't belive in first year i used to spend EVERY DAY with these girls #and we were one single friendship group and that was all we had #and then in second year one girl branched off bc she lived in a studio and got into her societies #but me and the other girl lived together again and it was the same thing of she was a friend before she was someone i lived with #and weirdly that can actually be detrimental to a dynamic. but this year we're all just very solidified and confident in ourselves #and where we stand and yes we all have our own friendship groups outside of the house now #but there's still that love and simple comfortableness around each other that you only get with time and a hell of a lot of proximity #and a sense of being settled that maybe is just what happens as you get older #idk it's just really nice. if i had this exact same day in first year (doing economics and barely leaving my room) #it would've been a really bad depressive day for me so the fact i can find such contentment from it now is really heartening #i love my little life here im very proud of what ive been able to achieve :) #hella goes to uni #feeling nostalgic because SOME BITCH decided to ribs post

Soviet Movie Club(tm): March

So far we're having a Smoktunovsky party: For the Sunday series, we're having Little Tragedies, a 3-parter adaptation of Pushkin's works of the same name. Mozart vs Salieri, Don Juan, a feast among the plague and other stories presented in a Weird Vibe that really makes the show stand out. Lots of celebs involved and a few haunting tunes too.

For this Saturday March 2nd, we're revisiting Uncle Vanya. The only thing to do here is to simp because the movie doesn't provide anything else so be obliged.

#soviet movie club™ #i am in fact subbing bdt's uncle vanya right now that showed how royally the movie fucked it all up #if you're also in the subbing trade i can say that using python scripts is like living in the year 4000 #there IS now in fact an AI tool that produces subtitles automatically #my 2.40h long thang got a complete file in like an hour using a medium model #was it perfect no did it still leave me work yes did i get lucky bc their diction was good so it heard the words correctly yes #but a day and a half later i started with Nothing and now i have a file that just needs the russian text substituted #it truly is revolutionary

I will not shut up about Ukraine until it is free of Russian tyranny. BTW.

#Where I live is so comforting #the world might forget. But in this community? We haven't and we won't. Not since 2014. Not since BEFORE 2014 #Ukraine WILL win. Ukraine WILL be free. We know it in our hearts #and I genuinely believe the Canadian Conservatives backtracked on their voting against a trade deal with Ukraine #(their whole 'carbon pricing is eeeeevil' schtick) partially because they realized how much of the diaspora is in their base #Especially on the prairies. I know *I* sent my MP an angry letter about it. And I know I'm not the only one. #(I'm also not part of their base but that's not important) #*Obligatory there are other things going on to care about too #having a day #kat gets personal #me #current events

Currently having the greatest holidays ever in Japan. Today I got breakfast at the starlight collab cafe, saw the stageplay and then walked up the stairs to the tokyo tower! Stageplay was just the best. Liked damn. Was worth just for seeing irl mayakuro <3

Now I’ve accomplished everything in life :D :D :D

More bonus pics (and me screaming talking under the cut)

Actually went to the cafe twice. Yesterday and today too. Just because I can. I really have insane gatcha luck, with getting both(!) mayakuro postcards this visit! And the charms too! (Yes those damn things were random...). Ok, actually traded a Hikari for the Maya with two very nice girls next to me in the waiting line.

Bushiroad store!! Had to draw a scrawly mayakuro doodle on the board (don’t look for it) and ofc buy lots of stuff. It was Meopi’s birthday, so they had a shrine for her, hehe. Also if you think I’m insane for flying to Japan to just see the stageplay: I met a girl from Australia in the shop (who was also nice enough to take this photo of me) and she got tickets to five showings of the play. So I’m very normal. *blink*

Stageplay time!!! So happy I got one of these special pen lights with colors for all the nine. It even has a quick access button where you can save the color of your fav. (Yes, I choose orange, sry Maya).

And OMG, the play!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Yes it was *that* great to see them live. Especially the typical mayakuro moments. And the singing. Oh my god. And the fights. Everything. Definitely worth the trip. Live part was super fun too with the penlight!

Lucky me was also sitting really close to the aisle. Because at some part during the live part all the nine ran by us visitors. So yeah, I saw Maya and Claudine from about 1.5 meters!!! *dies*

Tokyo Tower time! Yeah, took the stairs because that’s more fun and especially bc that gave me time to make cute mayakuro photos. Did some of the other visitors look weirdly at me bc I lay on the ground to make them? Maybe.

Also just had to buy the silly tokyo tower plush. It’s the perfect addition to the mayakuro ones.

#mayakuro #revue starlight #I don't really now how or if to tag this #anyway this was the greatest day ever #also I still have a leftover futaba after giving one away #does anyone here live in europe (bc of shipping cost) and want it? #I like futaba but I really don't need 2 charms #I actually also had a mahiru one but gave it to the two girls as well bc they liked her a lot and I was just so happy they traded the maya #alright that's probably it with the personal posts for the future lol #and once again I don't trust the birdsite you here get the extra stuff #also btw I love the kuro hoodie so much #the person next to me in the theater was a kuro fan too and complimented it

if you don't mind me asking, and if i just missed something again somewhere thatd answer my question, i am so sorry. but. it seems like even tho with the assumption that korvin is basically from our world, he doesnt know all that much about general comic book lore. so like. how aware is korvin that he was isekai'ed into the comic book world?

don't mind, will clarify.

let's think of it like this. at what point does it matter how much you know about the world you've isekai'd in? especially for a comic book world, in which canon and continuity are already loosely defined? what about it being so close to the real world for most of the time, and then jarringly different during the highest stakes?

are you willing to bet your life on assumptions?

korvin's not.

he knows of batman from the cultural zeitgeist but has my general...uh, disinterest and skepticism in the messiness and narratives of comics and superheroes stories.

and on his general mindset (my mindset): it's folly to walk into something assuming you have the ground truth. a lot of the work i do day-to-day is interdisciplinary aka working between specialties to connect them into a larger analysis. and by god i work with some of the most brilliant people... in their field that can't for the life of them understand and articulate their working assumptions that only WORK FOR THEM. knowledge bias is real and it's a barrier for this type of collaboration. so, i'm extra-wary about going into things treating it like it has to be some way. i rather rely on a more abstracted and fundamental set of first principles and adapt as necessary.

and so you get korvin.

#inquiry #maryallenc tries to write #on tpac #it's also the reconciliation of comic book logic and real world logic #if there was obvious blatant differences in day-to-day living then sure. but there's really not #short answer is: he doesn't generally enjoy the genre + doesn't know enough + knows he's better off without clinging to half-baked lore #trusting the isekai'd metaknowledge is like a trade of how well you know it vs how well you can observe/prove it #my little rib here is at the transmigrators that think they're set bc they're obsessed with whatever they're now in #like buddy you may have encyclopedic knowledge of the 'verse but you lack life experience + unbiased observation skills + introspection #those are isekais that can only be done with a certain mindset that isn't me #edit+caveat: doesn't mean korvin's better off. boy could do w some therapy and anti-anxiety meds

The August, '56 Florida tour was wild! ❤️‍🔥✨

Elvis photographed by Bob Moreland at the Fort Homer W. Hesterly Armory in Tampa, FL, on Sunday, August 5, 1956.

Elvis photographed by Bruce (or Harry as the newspaper reads?) Roberts during a performance at the Armory in Tampa, FL, August 5, 1956 (One of my favorite pictures of EP ever!).

Tampa Tribune, August 12, 1956 - Jacksonville, Florida, 1956

Elvis heading onstage at the Fort Homer W. Hesterly Armory, Tampa, FL - Aug. 5, 1956 Photo by Bob Moreland.

Look at the girl at the front row all flustered, trying to touch him. The desperation in her eyes, I can almost hear the screams/cries!

Last but not least, just because he's cute, look Elvis at the same venue, just a little more than a year previously. He's outside Fort Homer W. Hesterly Armory, Tampa, FL May 8, 1955.

There's these two moments where I wish I could attend an Elvis concert the most: anywhere/anytime in '72 and August, '56 in Florida. 🥹 Being born 18 years after he was no longer walking on this Earth, I feel so unlucky when I look at those pictures. I would really trade my youth for one single moment watching Elvis, even if "only" onstage for 30-50 minutes. Lucky the ones who got to experience this.

#trade my youth for a moment with you #this earth is no longer fun living in anyway #this Christmas i wished being a girl in the 50's US #just for a day... or 7 years. Then I would travel to late 60s and live each day 'til the first half of the 70's... over and over again. #Elvis and all his grandiosity #oh goodness #look at him! #i almost pass out just with the picture #sad about being born late #i would definitely be one of those screaming girls #imagine how it felt being there in the audience #no wonder parents worried haha #elvis presley #elvis the king #elvis fans #elvis fandom #50s elvis #elvis history #the wildness captured in his body language

Enough of fun sexy zones its time for derelict zones. Hashtag rotting buildings core

#hashtag bodies in the desert #hashtag starving #hashtag yknow how this is an apocalypse #fr tho i think abt the zones as this sort of fucked up ghost town so often #like obviously theres a lot of people but #they dont own that space. nobody has for a long time #they have a deity devoted to death for a reason #also smth ive been thinking abt a lot is making everyones outfits and gear and such seem a lot more used #making jewelry out of shit they find in the desert. like kobra and poison's key pendants #clothes are all handmedowns. theres a trade system #i like to think the only ppl who really have shit put together are dr d and his crew #and tommy chow mein who is a capitalist #ooooooh you wanna ask me about my danger days worldbuilding so bad #danger days: the true lives of the fabulous killjoys #chattering

[sidereon-spaceace]

Today's worldbuilding agonies: not wanting to ever specify how much time is passing because how the hell am I supposed to configure time-keeping across multiple planets and moons across the solar system

But then at a certain point wanting there to be a difinitive countdown clock before Something Bad happens to add tension and stakes

#ramblings #found some story notes like 'yeah this solution sucks but the characters go through with it anyway because *there isn't time*' #maybe i could cheat and like. say there's some magical tree. leaves keep falling off and once it's completely bare then time's up #realistically each world would have their own timekeeping methods and different divisions and calendars #which would be a logistical nightmare for travel and trade but that's why you pay Astromancers to keep up with that #god if you lived on a moon what would that calendar even look like #would you just ignore the orbital period around the host planet? you could just define A Day as how long any point is facing the sun #but what about the host planet eclipsing the sun? how often would that happen? would it last long enough to impact daily life? #maybe some people in this setting just have really fucked up sleeping cycles idk I'll figure it out at some point

[falderaletcetera]

thinking more about my tag essay on that rpf poll post and...

remember that story about the early star trek fans who invited leonard nimoy to talk to their group and all very deliberately kept the shipping to themselves while he was there?

(I'd include a source but I didn't save it. also like, no guarantee it happened, but it seems like a thing that could have, so I'm going with it for now.)

that just couldn't happen now, in most of the places we do fandom. the internet was a breakthrough for fandom, I'm told, but then it was gentrified or something like it, and now everyone's on one of a handful of sites (though yes, we're seeing the breakdown of this with twitter and reddit and people scattering in a dozen directions) and we have One Very Public Place for any and all discussions.

it's something I think about a lot. our shippy fandom spaces are our personal blogs are where we shill our etsy shops are where corporations and celebrities make their accounts to tweet into the void and occasionally search their own names. we often mask between identities, yes, having a Family/Work Account and a Personal Account, but there's little to no real separation of the spaces.

tumblr avoids the celebrity problem, historically (except for beloved oddballs like diane duane and neil gaiman, who, I do not know how they manage it here) though that may be changing.

sometimes I think about how unprepared we all are, culturally, evolutionarily, psychologically, for the internet we have here and now. sometimes I remember this post about children being forced inside over the decades and going to the internet as a refuge, the only place they can really talk to each other and just be kids relatively unsupervised. sometimes I think about how disabled people are forced to resort to the internet for resources and community when the meatspace ones just aren't accessible. about how autistic people can find communication easier over the internet and people with adhd can find social media and video games rewarding and soothing in a way their brains desperately need.

I wouldn't trade this internet for anything. but fuck, in so many different ways we have not adapted to this world, and it sure as hell wasn't made for us.

#internet culture #falderal speaks #''our brains are designed to handle villages worth of people and struggle with anything more'' #is something I think about a lot and have shaped a lot of thoughts around #which might be very embarrassing if that turns out to be inaccurate/misapplied #but it seems to work so I'm keeping it for now #like. I would not trade my internet village for anything #except perhaps the same people all living within a day's travel when WILL they invent teleportation etc etc #anyway. these thoughts are a few years out of date in that I'm outright ignoring things like discord servers until I see how they shake out

[anotherpapercut]

obviously I understand like. not comparing 2 different situations and using one to discount the other. but I just cannot listen to able bodied people talk about being tired. it makes me want to fucking scream

#especially if people are being bitchy and theyre like its cause im tired like ok. I'm fucking tired all the goddamn time #and i manage to only be a bitch like maybe 20% of that #i just want to trade bodies for 1 fucking day and then see how the conversation changes #fucking walked to the bus in the rain today which meant i couldnt use my cane #and i was already in pain so now thats worse. then i worked for 8 and a half hours and rode the bus for an hour again to get home #im so fucking sick of living like this

[1980ssunflower]

god how are my husbands the most amazing men in the world

#ot3: ❤rhyme💛easy💙 #tape entry circa 1980 #everyday i feel so unbelievably lucky to have them in my life #i feel so lucky to have them love me... and to always reach out to me to remind me of that #ill love them till the day i die ill always remain completely faithful and devoted to them both #they make me the happiest man in the world and because of them i feel like life has at least some meaning to it #they make me happy to just exist rn #i just hope one day i can really run into their arms and be embraced by them both #and we can live the rest of our lives happy and in love making music together #recently while thinking of them ive cried a lot more than usual #about how badly i need them always and how theyre mine and im theirs... how we were made for eachother #how the 3 of us were always meant for eachother and only eachother #i can feel it. that day i saw them i knew it was fate that brought me to them #i felt i had been waiting my whole life to find them and that they had been waiting for me too #i knew that moment would change my life forever #and it really did yknow #because of them i learned what love is and got to experience what romantic love FEELS like #i just love them so so so much more than any words could ever begin to describe #id trade my life for them i would do ANYTHING and everything for them both #i love them... i love them i love them my entire heart / mind / body / soul belongs to them #i give them my everything and they give me everything they are in return

Imagine shuichi a class like goes out to eat and when they bill comes there all fighting over who’s going to pay

AND SHUICHI JUST TAKES OUT A FAT STACK OF CASH and asks thhe person “how much” and it’s like 400 and shuichi just hands him 550 like it’s nothing

His class is just shocked save maki and kaito because there used to it

Shuichi’s wallet is so packed he can’t hold it in his pocket he has to put it in a bag or smth/hj

I just imagine he’s the kinda kid that had a mix of an allowance and when he got older a part time job (shuichi working pt at a McDonalds or smth is hilarious to me, especially if he gets recognized) so he just always has a ridiculous amount of cash on him at all times because Togami was the one who wanted Shuichi to have an allowance so he learns how money works but inadvertently killed Shuichi’s concept of the dollar.

He just casually pays for big stuff like trips to amusement parks and plane rides and generally baffles his friends. For the classmates that don’t know about his parents they’re just like “how tf can you drop that much cash YOU WORK AT A FUCKING MCDONALDS” and he’s just like “it’s not the much it’s just like $200”

He just casually books a plane to visit the v3 gang that I hath decided are from Jabberwock (Kaede, Rantaro, K1B0, Kokichi, and Himiko if ur curious) and just does not get that plane rides and bus rides are not comparable yknow.

#eggs can answer #that’s what the hat is actually for #no backstory reason it’s just where he stores his wallet #also Rantaro is from Jabberwock but nobody actually knows where he lives or who his parents are #he just. exists #he spawned one day #danganronpa #shuichi saihara #Naegi: Lookit what you’ve done Togami he has no idea how much a pack of gum costs #Togami: ok and??? he knows how much gum stock costs so what’s the biggie #Togami and shuichi trading stock in their free time #peak father son bonding right there #g-eetings

sorry it’s early and i’m brushing my teeth while the sun is rising since I passed out last night before I got the chance to, and we’re getting genuine sunlight for the first time in weeks, and I’m busy contemplating just how ridiculous this series is

#ridiculous probably isn’t the right word #it’s more just… funny? #i just…. i wonder what tcg only people think. just in general about the card game #it is. so funny looking at a character like for instance seto or ishizu who is over here having *genuine* in depth relations that have to- #-do with familial bonds and the idea of living up to something or being the bigger person *for* their family #and also having to acknowledge that they kick ass when it comes to a children’s trading card game #like on one hand i am going absolutely crazy with grief and emotions over whatever happens in this insane series #and on the other i am busy following a. card game. that carries the same amount of importance #am i??? articulating this well enough #with how *i* view this series i think it’s absolutely bonkers that the card game came from this #because now in modern day it has NOTHING to do with the original series #it’s just… a card game. but it still came from something this story oriented. that’s literally so crazy to me idk why #that’s why i always glare at the reviews about the anime or the movie and how it’s only for marketing purposes #like yeah you’re probably right but that wasn’t *initially* the reason for it #this was originally to tell a story. not to sell a card game #sometimes i forget this series even centers around mainly that #it’s… interesting to me that people can play the card game and not know anything about the original series it came from #and they’re allowed to do that!! i’m not the fun police people can do whatever they want #but it’s so… interesting to me that people can pick it up and not know about a story that has been personally impactful to a lot of people #like the main ‘legacy’ dm left behind was technically the card game itself #but that card game isn’t directly connected to it anymore #like wow i’ve cried over this series how many times because of it’s themes and characters. and it’s about a. children’s card game. #oh my gosh okay how do i phrase this bluntly #it’s lowkey disconcerting to me that people can pick up something without knowing the things before it to enjoy the something to it’s full- #-capacity. especially if said something doesn’t carry the weight/theme/importance/etc of the things before it #i think. that is the closest i am getting to explaining my thought process #i don’t know i’m still half awake #I’m gonna go. sleep for another three hours bye tumblr see you later #rainy.file #delete later
