#just so I can stay organized

[captainjonnitkessler]

Do you guys notice how when Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, started planning a general strike, he did it by a) targeting his messaging towards unions with the ability to safely and effectively strike in large numbers, b) laid out a clear, actionable plan for those unions to follow (setting contracts to all expire at the same time, since many unions cannot strike while under contract), c) is using union contracts to set clear, actionable demands that can be met in order to gauge success and provide an end goal, and d) started organizing FOUR YEARS before the proposed strike date to give people the chance to plan accordingly, because it takes a really freaking long time to get tens of millions of people organized?

You notice how he didn't do it by slapping a message on Twitter saying 'hey nobody go to work on Monday, that'll really show 'em'?

#those 'monday is a general strike stay home if you can!!!' posts are SO performative and they really annoy me #like. you MUST know you can't organize a general strike of tens of millions of people by sharing an infographic on twitter. Right? #don't even get me started on the most recent one that was like 'we understand the last strike only gave one day of notice' #'so this time we're giving you two! strike is on tuesday everyone don't forget!' #like GENUINELY was that supposed to be a joke #the linked article also touches on how difficult actual organizing a workplace is which is nice #because they mention previous failed attempts in which organizers basically just handed out leaflets #and assumed the benefits would be obvious. which i think is basically the equivalent of posting an infographic on twitter #which is to say - not effective at all. Organizing is a LOT of work! Running an effective union even more so! #labor rights

I will be honest I am pausing my studyblr posts to post for palestine. My brother has left this world recently (unrelated to the conflict) and when I try to distract myself from it I find myself in a world where almost everyone with any power is supporting the genocide of my fellow people.

#I understand people may have their thoughts on this #but even if you don’t agree with me #I still invite you to stay and think #and research #and question your sources #the victims are not organized #but you know what is organized? governments. you can only push propaganda if you have power and are organized #none of which the Palestinians have. #so please. please do some research and be firm in your stance whatever it is #don’t just take the stances of others to make yourself feel like a good person #when you don’t even know what it all entails #and just to clarify because we live in an era of nation states #I am not from palestine but they are my people I grew up with a community of palestinians #and as a muslim they are my brothers and sisters #tho if you do the research you’ll find that isra*l also targets palestinian christians #about half of Christian Palestinians were kicked out of Jerusalem by Isr*el

Episode 8 has convinced me that the opening song isn’t just about how the guys feel about Miri, but also how Rei feels about Kazuki specifically.

Hey, I want to love, is this true love? Is just wanting to be loved insincere? What should I do? Oh, what should I do? As usual, the whole city is madly in love and excited. Extras like me just go home, but I’m not sulking at all. And then you appeared suddenly, as though you were ripping through those days with your smile that leaves me numb. You shattered my heart. Hey, I want to love, is this true love? Is just wanting to be loved insincere? What should I do? Oh, what should I do? How the heck should I know? I don’t know what’s going on in your head, but it’s not fair that you’re so friendly. Once again, I’m being swallowed up by your rhythm. There you go, you’ve got me wrapped around your finger again.

Their whole conversation in the car, talking about when they first started living together… they’re describing the song exactly. How Rei was alone, and had never experienced anything even remotely resembling love and affection. But then Kazuki comes blazing in and completely turns his life upside down. Kazuki immediately shows Rei that he is, in fact, worthy of receiving the love and affection he didn’t even realize he craved so much.

You didn’t matter much to me… but then you suddenly started cleaning.

I couldn’t stand watching you live like that.

I wanted to tell you to back off.

Yeah, I’ll bet.

But… it wasn’t so bad.

And now that Rei is confronted with the possibility of losing the life he’s built with Kazuki, he realizes just how much Kazuki actually means to him. And I think it’s suddenly dawning on him that he’s happy. And he���s absolutely going to do everything he can to protect his happiness. To protect Miri. To protect Kazuki.

#buckle up bitches I predict a Rei rampage coming #he’s gonna go John Wick on that whole organization #ANYWAY I love both of my traumatized babies so much #they are in love #and nobody can convince me otherwise #like if this show doesn’t end with their wedding in some form or fashion I will honestly be surprised #they can’t give us all this build up and not have them end up together #like even if it’s just them formally adopting Miri I’d be happy with that #because then they’d be confirming that they intend to stay together #buddy daddies #buddy daddies spoilers #buddy daddies episode 8 #suwa rei #kurusu kazuki #unasaka miri #rei suwa #kazuki kurusu #miri unasaka #kazurei #buddy daddies kazuki #buddy daddies rei #buddy daddies anime

#sorry this is just a shitpost. #shitposts #uhhhh #I'll tag stuff like this as 'shitposts' hows that #so that you can block them if you wanna #ever since getting suspended on twitter I've decided. fuck that site. #I'll be posting a lot more regular here #for all the little memes and sketches I do #rather than just illustrations #but I make liberal use of tags so you can filter out whatever you want! #I'll tag uhmmm sketches. memes. text posts. rambles. vents. etc... so. should stay p organized and p blockable #ttawebcomic #time and time again

i love spanish conferences. for the london one the fee is £90 (£45 if you're a student) and i have no idea if as a speaker i also have to pay the fee or not. in this one in spain i'm planning to speak at attendance is free and if you want to be a speaker you have to pay a total of 10€ as fee.

#once again. southern europe supremacy #this is what we are talking about when we demand making academia and culture accessible #anyways i have no idea if i'll attend #because if they pick me. it's on may 3rd #i'm still in trento technically by then but. if i have that. idk what i'll do i'll have to consult my parents #cause i was planning on staying until may 8th cause there's a seminar on that day #but i could just leave earlier #the contract is for two months #beyond april i can stay until i want #moreover. the conference is in salamanca #so that's another problem. getting there #i say problem i'm sure there's a train i can hop onto #but it's one more variable to look into #whatever. i'll just apply and worry later #cause the conference is very cool. it's organized by a phd student organization and it is made to present your phd proposals to the public #mostly other professors #to get feedback and stuff #so that's cool i think

[rolilith]

ok sorry for getting emotional about lilith again but dialogue from the fight for sanctuary dlc

quest: the dawn of new pandora

an echo you can find in the backburner

quest: paradise found

like lilith having to fill roland's shoes after his death whether she wants to or not because everybody's looking at her to make the executive decisions and expecting her to be just as capable....then comparing that to dialogue at the end of the dlc where she's starting to prove herself to the others but she's still being held up to a standard.......im putting my head in my hands

#like yeah ok im sappy and attached to the bl1 vault hunters but the difference in how mordy and brick talk to her at the beginning and end #ik its mostly for plot purposes cause mordy got like infected but the way the entire b-team stayed to help even tho tinas been wanting to #go off-world and asking brick and mordecai about it.......and then u bring in ellie and tannis and...........teary eyes fr #and then the dialogue from the backburner echo tying into brick and lilith from the tps intro is a whole other thing -> #smthing smthing plot holes in the continuity but lilith being driven by her grief and anger of friends dying but brick recognising that #is out of character for her and trying to stop her ironically after he was the leader of a whole clan in bl2 BUT also this being the start #of brick becoming more empathetic and well rounded yadda yadda.... #ok sorry for rambling so much im just . overwhelmed with thoughts and i wish i could put these in a more organized way LOL #fil talks #but also one last closing thing 'what makes you think you can live up to him' AWAAWAWAWAA WHAT IF I STARTED CRYING !!!!!

[girlscience]

the RAMPANT consumerism on the section of youtube I have ended up on recently is actually kind of disgusting to me. if I see one more video of a perfectly manicured hand with a hint of a sweater sleeve putting things in a target cart or using 100 bottles for a skin and hair self-care day or using 50 different cleaning products in an enormous, pristine, white home while a random pop song remix plays in the background I'm going to start destroying things.

#I know exactly how I got here #there is a specific crossover of decluttering/production hacks/workout plans/minimalism/motivational videos that leads directly #to very wealthy stay-at-home women doing sunday resets and target hauls and restocking and organizing the guest bedroom #and 4 hour pre-vacation self-care videos #but it is so BAD. I am not saying don't buy things or take care of yourself or anything like that #I literally have mentioned several times in the past two weeks that I was waiting on packages in the mail! #but GOD. the difference between buying a set of dvds I'm going to use until they fall apart #and literally having 4 bookcases of skin care products is ASTRONOMICAL #I cannot imagine a single reason anyone would ever need that much stuff #and it's All so sanitized and perfected and nothing can be out of place and it's just awful #that girl aesthetic/it girl/clean girl aesthetic/etc etc #and every single woman in these videos is perfectly shaped and tanned and hair done up #and they all wear these matching set workout fits #just oh my god girl!!!!!! what are you doing????!!!!!?? #I don't know. I don't know that there's a point to this besides me complaining and being upset #but it's just so antithetical to the way I want to live and I know it's so bad for the environment #and I know it is encouraging so many people to look and act just like that #and I hate it!!!! it feels like we are never getting out sometimes for real #maybe I'm being mean. maybe they are actually very conscientious of the environment #and maybe they are only showing a once a month shopping trip #and maybe they have just been sent a ton of PR packages that they have to figure out how to store #but. it really doesn't feel or look that way

[inkedmyths]

Sometimes I see people say things on Tumblr about how they want people to act in regards to like, interacting with blogs/posts and I'm like. Dude? What?

I mean, curate your internet experience and all! That's good! But idk man personally I think it's a little weird to try and make part of that curation, uh, telling other people what to do. Yknow?

#ink thinks #like its one thing to me if you say 'please do not tag as ship' bc yeah that can be irritating or even upsetting depending on context #but like i just saw a post that was like 'please only use these tags when reblogging thanks' and thats. thats weird to me! #bc tagging is for organization and some people use different tags than standard as a result? #and also tagging is also for commentary (like how i'm doing now) so??? #like i said to each their own but that one is so. so weird to me #same vein as the people i've seen say 'don't spam like/spam reblog from me' like man why would you care that much? #its just. just a bit weird to me. my general internet policy is 'stay in my own lane live and let live' etc so. like.

[opalhymn]

so far i've only made defaults and like 24 different shades of black/brown

I could fit so much trauma in Trevor Belmont, Last Son of Belmont. But i dont know if i want to, or should.

It’s definitely at tempting off though. Please feed me fics offer trauma recovering/coping Trevor. I just wanna see him studied under a psychological microscope. I will make my own if no one can feed me, I like reading “realistic(ish)”responses to traumas in characters.

#once a character has me to the point of ‘im gonna study you like a nee micro-organism’ there’s no going back #they will and do stay in my head until the end of time #or i switch/join fandoms #*slaps Trevor’s ass* THIS MAN CAN FIT SO MUCH TRAUMA #also does anyone else get hypersexual vibes from Trevor or is that just me #trevor belmont #castlevania #trevor belmont angst? #fic recs #pls

A drawing of my beloved OC Juliett that came to me in a dream (I had a dream that I was sketching this drawing so when I woke up I tried to actually draw it to see what would happen) and I like how it turned out!

#oc #my ocs #juliett #Don‘t ask me about the lore of this though I have no idea what AU this is #Based on the hair it seems like it would be from one of the Juliett revenge AUs but the black and gold outfit with the yellow roses?? #the black and gold are her family colours so she‘s still associated with them which means it can‘t be a revenge au #So my interpretation of this drawing is that the big backstory event did not happen the way it usually happens so she stays with her family #but still became bitter about things hence the revenge au hairstyle #and in the end after rising up the ranks of her family’s organization she ends up at the bottom of the ocean. I guess. #What do we learn from that? Juliett should not stay with her family. Noted! #Anyway the process for this drawing was very interesting! #because it wasn’t really based on an idea I had but rather something just from my dream? #I know for this drawing my brain just mixed up Juliett and my Mermay Mire drawing and very minimal outfit inspiration from a show I watched #But can I really take credit for the idea? #anyway #i love dreaming my brain is so good and creative at coming up with fun stories. i just wish it were that creative when i was awake as well!

im ngl noww that you say that you do art as a hobby, im just intrigued by how you are so confident and are able to have the free time to do it as a hobby...

i hope i didnt make a mistake taking art college ;; IM ROOTING FOR YOU TOO! its so luckily nowdays to have a job youre at least okay with but also have some really fun hobby on the side too

to one broke college student to another do u have any advice for future years? i ltrly just started college like 3 weeks ago

aaaa as far as time for the hobby goes, i actually only have that kinda time very recently (like over the summer and this semester).....if you noticed, i kinda dropped off for a year where i mustve only drawn like 10 things??? which is because last year was such a busy year for me in terms of work and courses...but this semester is better because im only in 3 classes: one doesnt have any exams and another im retaking (cuz i didnt pass the summer comp exam for it lol) so its all content ive seen before!! so this semester is a little easier and i can draw a bit more when i dont have homework or on the weekends!!!

as far as advice goes, (im not sure how art school works? or if youre in a normal university just majoring in art?) id say: take a lot of different classes to see what you like! explore different areas, and i think it might also be good to have like.....a contingency plan so to speak. like in my undergrad i got a minor in anthropology and almost got a certificate in accounting just so i had a little more options post-undergrad if the math major didnt work out!! so doing something like that is never a bad idea!!! (my undergrad program had a requirement to fulfill a certain amount of credits outside your major courses, so i used those to explore different things)

also dont be afraid to change if you feel you dont like your current path.....like i mentioned i was an astronomy major in undergrad first, and had wanted to go into astronomy since i was a kid, but found eventually it wasnt for me (i couldnt cut it in physics) and switched to something i wasnt SUPER passionate about, but i was good at it!! which was a huge decision for me and lowkey pretty risky (the fuck do you do with a math major?? everyone i asked they just replied "Oh you can do lots of things!" and never gave me an actual job title)

try to do summer internships if you can! as long as its financially feasible for you, itll make your resume a lot beefier when you graduate if employers/grad school see that you already have several experiences under your belt (and experience compounds on itself-- the more you have the more likely you are to get more!! for example here in my program, if you have more stats and coding experience coming in youre more likely to get more stats/coding assistantships, so you gain even more experience over the person who had no stats/coding experience prior and as a result got sent to be a TA or something. so the person who already had experience gets more experience and the person who didnt falls even further behind :') (me) )

networking is also important!!! since youre just in undergrad, i would recommend starting by talking to professors when you can. doesnt need to be like, going out of your way to go to their office hours and talk stories, but maybe chat a bit before/after class!! ask them how their weekend went, ask a dumb clarifying question!! i got to my current grad program because my professor came to me before class one day and said "I have a friend from [my current program] coming to recruit, you should go meet him." so be friendly with your professors so they get to know you and will pass on opportunities when they hear about them!!

a lot of professors get emails from all kinds of jobs/programs to the effect of "[place] is looking to recuit/hire" and they can pass those your way if youre on their radar!! and lastly work hard!!

(anyway this is advice i have based on my own experiences and what worked for me, it will most likely be different for you!! stay on top of your studies, but also force yourself to rest every so often!! I personally do not do any work on saterdays and try not to on sundays!! so i feel okay working hard the other nights of the week so i have two full days of rest....sacrifice your work-week free time for grades :') sometimes the best thing for your mental health is just getting the thing you dont wanna do out of the way!! good luck in uni!!!)

#college for everyone else is gonna be a little different than college for me #i was fortunate enough to get a lot of locally-based scholarships that took care of me so i didnt need to work while studying #but i know a lot of people do and thats fucking tough #i also wasnt in a lot of clubs etc #because my scholarship program would organize a lot of our events #and besides studying i didnt have time for any of that lol #stay on top of your studies for real..... #put down that pokemon game and go re-read the lecture content you learned today (pro tip) #yeah dont work 24/7 without rest if you can avoid it #burnout isnt fun and honestly i still havent figured out a way to avoid it #sometimes its inevitable and you just gotta push through #punch studies in the face
