"One big happy family" isn't one of my favorite sayings nor is it imagery of which I'm particularly fond.
However.
I was reminded yesterday that we are connected in random and unexpected ways.
Seriously.
Random.
And unexpected ways.
Even for me who, within the last few days, pitched someone on the idea of professional community... I was absolutely taken by surprise. I was taken by surprise even knowing the how of moving through a career in tandem with a network of others whose skills are complimentary. People who are in a position to hire. People who are in a position to be hired. And people who are colleagues with whom to collaborate.
A professional community moving through individual careers in sync with each other.
And how do these professionals find one another?
The most natural way is a school cohort. After that, a cohort that's drawn to the same work in the same location. After that, my suggestion to this person starting out on their career was to fully throw themselves into growing their talents while pursuing every opportunity to put those talents in play with others. It's a way of naturally gravitating toward birds of a feather who almost never do just the one thing. So they might play golf, you might play golf, and it turns out you're both veterinary students. Or it turns out you're a screenwriter and your golf partner is a director. Or it turns out you're a vocalist and your golf partner is a composer.
And so on.
In the case of the person I was encouraging, they're a vocalist, play a coupla instruments, and compose music. So my advice was lean into each of, all of those passions because the last composer I worked with was plucked out of a choir by a producer who was also a member of that choir.
No joke.
You use your skills, talents, and passions to enter into the world and filter from it people who are much like yourself. Who become your professional community.
Your network.
As I said before, though, I was reminded yesterday that we are connected in random and unexpected ways.
And those ways, regardless of how random and unexpected, still bear fruit. They still contain opportunities.
So what happened?
I was at a restaurant where, about a half hour in I was recognized by someone whose path I crossed while I was doing some shooting and editing once upon a time. And our experience catching up turned into a shared interest over something on which I'm now working and to which they can open a door or two. This is more than ten years later, by the way.
It's definitely on the extreme end of random and unexpected, I won't lie. But even from such things are professional communities made and grown.
Back in the day, when the idea of networking was explained to us, it seemed very... phony. Inauthentic. It also seemed calculated. Too calculated.
The thing is, though, at the time I was judgemental about the idea, I was already doing it. I was already working at a studio with a group of others who were a de facto network. Of course the school at which I learned about networking, the one in which we were rubbed the wrong way by the concept, well, we were a cohort. I met my first production partner there and we continued forward from that moment into our careers. And during the course of our careers we met people and met people and met people.
Not always in the context of production, mind you. But always in the context of something about which we were passionate.
So there I am indulging these thoughts when it comes to me that it's gonna be tough for someone who's an introvert.
It's gonna be tough for someone who's committed to doing it all on their own. It's gonna be tough for someone who's looking for magic beans or a magic bean to conjure a full-blown career from thin air. It's gonna be tough for someone who wants to just post that thing that'll make everyone want to hire them.
Those may be fair things to want for some careers but not for creative professionals who work with other human beings on a daily basis. And whose careers can blossom as they become known within their network both for what they can do...
And how they do it.
We are connected in random and unexpected ways.
Which is not something to be frustrated by or afraid of.
It's an opportunity. A unique path toward not only building a career... but building a life.

I picked this one finally after months of procrastinating; after i gave up fighting the impulse. It turned out to be the scariest book I've read this year. I read and absorbed each and every word of this book all the way to the end. It is the kind of book which actually made me skip the s*x parts so that I could finish the plot.
Honestly, i did not like any of the characters not even crew. The kid was creepy and in need of a lot of therapy. The book should have come with trigger warnings which i felt was not fair cuz I would have skipped if I knew about the trigger warnings.
I finished it in one go and couldn't even break eye-contact with the book. This book definitely did not leave me feeling good just a lot of jitters and a ton of anxiety. Definitely do not recommend for the light hearted.
Here are some of memorable quotes I found in the book-
1. Death by routine
2. I think the idea of me is better than the reality of me.
3. What can go wrong, goes wrong. And then gets worse.
4. No is likeable from the inside out.
5. The next tragedy is long overdue.

Judges 9: Abimelek Selfishly Kills His Seventy Brothers To Be King Over Shecham And Beth Millo
1 Abimelek son of Jerub-Baal went to his mother’s brothers in Shechem and said to them and to all his mother’s clan,
2 “Ask all the citizens of Shechem, ‘Which is better for you: to have all seventy of Jerub-Baal’s sons rule over you, or just one man?’ Remember, I am your flesh and blood.”
3 When the brothers repeated all this to the citizens of Shechem, they were inclined to follow Abimelek, for they said, “He is related to us.”
4 They gave him seventy shekels of silver from the temple of Baal-Berith, and Abimelek used it to hire reckless scoundrels, who became his followers.
5 He went to his father’s home in Ophrah and on one stone murdered his seventy brothers, the sons of Jerub-Baal. But Jotham, the youngest son of Jerub-Baal, escaped by hiding.
6 Then all the citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo gathered beside the great tree at the pillar in Shechem to crown Abimelek king.
7 When Jotham was told about this, he climbed up on the top of Mount Gerizim and shouted to them, “Listen to me, citizens of Shechem, so that God may listen to you.
8 One day the trees went out to anoint a king for themselves. They said to the olive tree, ‘Be our king.’
9 “But the olive tree answered, ‘Should I give up my oil, by which both gods and humans are honored, to hold sway over the trees?’
10 “Next, the trees said to the fig tree, ‘Come and be our king.’
11 “But the fig tree replied, ‘Should I give up my fruit, so good and sweet, to hold sway over the trees?’
12 “Then the trees said to the vine, ‘Come and be our king.’
13 “But the vine answered, ‘Should I give up my wine, which cheers both gods and humans, to hold sway over the trees?’
14 “Finally all the trees said to the thornbush, ‘Come and be our king.’
15 “The thornbush said to the trees, ‘If you really want to anoint me king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, then let fire come out of the thornbush and consume the cedars of Lebanon!’
16 “Have you acted honorably and in good faith by making Abimelek king? Have you been fair to Jerub-Baal and his family? Have you treated him as he deserves?
17 Remember that my father fought for you and risked his life to rescue you from the hand of Midian.
18 But today you have revolted against my father’s family. You have murdered his seventy sons on a single stone and have made Abimelek, the son of his female slave, king over the citizens of Shechem because he is related to you.
19 So have you acted honorably and in good faith toward Jerub-Baal and his family today? If you have, may Abimelek be your joy, and may you be his, too!
20 But if you have not, let fire come out from Abimelek and consume you, the citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo, and let fire come out from you, the citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo, and consume Abimelek!”
21 Then Jotham fled, escaping to Beer, and he lived there because he was afraid of his brother Abimelek.
22 After Abimelek had governed Israel three years,
23 God stirred up animosity between Abimelek and the citizens of Shechem so that they acted treacherously against Abimelek.
24 God did this in order that the crime against Jerub-Baal’s seventy sons, the shedding of their blood, might be avenged on their brother Abimelek and on the citizens of Shechem, who had helped him murder his brothers.
25 In opposition to him these citizens of Shechem set men on the hilltops to ambush and rob everyone who passed by, and this was reported to Abimelek.
26 Now Gaal son of Ebed moved with his clan into Shechem, and its citizens put their confidence in him.
27 After they had gone out into the fields and gathered the grapes and trodden them, they held a festival in the temple of their god. While they were eating and drinking, they cursed Abimelek.
28 Then Gaal son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelek, and why should we Shechemites be subject to him? Isn’t he Jerub-Baal’s son, and isn’t Zebul his deputy? Serve the family of Hamor, Shechem’s father! Why should we serve Abimelek?
29 If only this people were under my command! Then I would get rid of him. I would say to Abimelek, ‘Call out your whole army!’”
30 When Zebul the governor of the city heard what Gaal son of Ebed said, he was very angry.
31 Under cover he sent messengers to Abimelek, saying, “Gaal son of Ebed and his clan have come to Shechem and are stirring up the city against you.
32 Now then, during the night you and your men should come and lie in wait in the fields.
33 In the morning at sunrise, advance against the city. When Gaal and his men come out against you, seize the opportunity to attack them.”
34 So Abimelek and all his troops set out by night and took up concealed positions near Shechem in four companies.
35 Now Gaal son of Ebed had gone out and was standing at the entrance of the city gate just as Abimelek and his troops came out from their hiding place.
36 When Gaal saw them, he said to Zebul, “Look, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains!”
Zebul replied, “You mistake the shadows of the mountains for men.”
37 But Gaal spoke up again: “Look, people are coming down from the central hill, and a company is coming from the direction of the diviners’ tree.”
38 Then Zebul said to him, “Where is your big talk now, you who said, ‘Who is Abimelek that we should be subject to him?’ Aren’t these the men you ridiculed? Go out and fight them!”
39 So Gaal led out the citizens of Shechem and fought Abimelek.
40 Abimelek chased him all the way to the entrance of the gate, and many were killed as they fled.
41 Then Abimelek stayed in Arumah, and Zebul drove Gaal and his clan out of Shechem.
42 The next day the people of Shechem went out to the fields, and this was reported to Abimelek.
43 So he took his men, divided them into three companies and set an ambush in the fields. When he saw the people coming out of the city, he rose to attack them.
44 Abimelek and the companies with him rushed forward to a position at the entrance of the city gate. Then two companies attacked those in the fields and struck them down.
45 All that day Abimelek pressed his attack against the city until he had captured it and killed its people. Then he destroyed the city and scattered salt over it.
46 On hearing this, the citizens in the tower of Shechem went into the stronghold of the temple of El-Berith.
47 When Abimelek heard that they had assembled there,
48 he and all his men went up Mount Zalmon. He took an ax and cut off some branches, which he lifted to his shoulders. He ordered the men with him, “Quick! Do what you have seen me do!”
49 So all the men cut branches and followed Abimelek. They piled them against the stronghold and set it on fire with the people still inside. So all the people in the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women, also died.
50 Next Abimelek went to Thebez and besieged it and captured it.
51 Inside the city, however, was a strong tower, to which all the men and women—all the people of the city—had fled. They had locked themselves in and climbed up on the tower roof.
52 Abimelek went to the tower and attacked it. But as he approached the entrance to the tower to set it on fire,
53 a woman dropped an upper millstone on his head and cracked his skull.
54 Hurriedly he called to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and kill me, so that they can’t say, ‘A woman killed him.’” So his servant ran him through, and he died.
55 When the Israelites saw that Abimelek was dead, they went home.
56 Thus God repaid the wickedness that Abimelek had done to his father by murdering his seventy brothers.
57 God also made the people of Shechem pay for all their wickedness. The curse of Jotham son of Jerub-Baal came on them.

Cohorts
ABBOT
A devout adherent to the faith, an abbot can work minor divine miracles with the whispering of prayers and the waving of hands.
BERSERKER
Ruthless and fierce, the berserker tears across the battlefield in a wild frenzy, devastating its enemies with boundless rage.
CHAMPION
A champion is a skilled, tactical fighter, just as comfortable in the saddle during military drills as armored on the field of battle.
CONSTRUCT
With the help of a tinkerer or a mage, you gain the unwavering, mechanical loyalty of a golem, shield guardian, or clockwork construct. Your construct is of a smaller variety than most golems, but can be built and repaired in far less time. A construct doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
CULTIST
Dogmatic and often unhinged, cultists draw upon forbidden, eldritch allies for a taste of arcane might.
HUNTER
A hunter is a naturally skilled tracker and outlander, as comfortable in the depths of the woods as in a tavern or town.
MAGE
A mage is a brilliant and studious spellcaster, well versed in the study of all things arcane.
STALKER
Stealthy and subversive, the stalker is just as adept an assassin as a burglar or thief.
TEMPLAR
A daring knight, sworn to virtue and station, a templar knows no fear in their heart and no equal in battle.
UNDEAD
With the help of necromancy, you can enlist the most loyal minion possible: a silent, obedient undead thrall. Zombies, ghouls, and revenants are the most
common form of undead cohort, as they are sturdier than skeletons, and more loyal than vampires. An undead doesn’t require
air, food, drink, or sleep.

Generation Labels, Lifestyles, and Personalities
Generation labels have been assigned to cohorts based on birth date spans. Supposedly, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Y (AKA millennials), and Z have specific lifestyles and personalities assigned to each. You can go back further to post-war and WWII but the more recent cohorts are discussed most often. Perhaps because those born in the earlier categories don’t care much for or rely on social media, the…

She had been hospitalised because an official said they wanted to take [Palamedes'] bones away and said that they would not serve in a cell where a necromancer`s minion was allowed to carry " wizard bones'' around. I was there when they tried to forcibly take the bones away and they were forced to shock her.

🌟 BOOK REVIEW🌟 🌟 💫 2016- It Ends with Us- A book which starts off as a Colleen Hoover Book but shook me by the time I ended it. Agreed it was a book which was close to the author’s personal experiences, but as a fan, I could see her unearth another dimension in her writing- stunning. While Ryle’s dark side shook me up, what did feel like a missed opportunity was giving Atlas and Lily the closure they deserved. 2022- the author doesn’t disappoint. It Starts with Us, though still brings forth the trauma of an abusive relationship, gives the protagonist the ammunition and strength to handle it- this book is about hope, about friendship and giving closure to Atlas and Lily. Without giving too much away, Lily has finally moved on from Ryle though the constant fear of her daughter’s custody and her ex’s abusive nature plays on her mind. Enter Atlas and they decide to rekindle their romance. Atlas too has to confront the demons of his past in the form of his abusive mother- though the realisation of a brother and his efforts to protect him from the same mental abuse is handled delicately. Each character has it’s moment- be it Alyssa- supporting Lily despite being Ryle’s sister- or Marshall- sharing Alyssa’s past while consoling Lily and during the intervention during the closing moments - or even Theo, Atlas’s young support system. The book does have its flaws but where the author succeeds is giving us two extremely strong protagonists- while Atlas is possibly the most perfect male character the author has written, Lily battling her fear to confront Ryle to give her daughter a future without fear or abuse, stands out. Definitely recommended for fans of Colleen Hoover #bookreview #itstartswithus #colleenhoover #cohorts #contemporary #romancebooks #romancebookstagram #bookstagram #bookoholic #bookrecommendations #domesticabuse #womenempowerment #womenfiction #bookphotography #booklover #boston https://www.instagram.com/p/CkH3ORMg2tV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
