Fall 24 Career Fair

In my dream job, I am in a small room with big windows on the wall opposite the door, and colorful posters from floor to ceiling on the left wall, and a white board tracking our long-term goals on the right. A closer look at the posters will expose that each is a project that my team has worked on, and displayed to the world, showing them we have an eye for design and technical competency. We are good at everything. Technology, photography, writing, marketing, videography, music, engineering, and more.

The center of the room there is a table, where all the magic happens. There are computer monitors, and enough desk space for a tight-knit competent group of four with a shared vision to make something spectacular for the public. We choose projects based on social impact, creative impact, and more.

______________________________________

My ten resumes are stacked under my arm, squeezed together by my magnetic iPad case, as I consider making eye contact with one of the guys at the Five Rings booth. The Trading and Finance section of the career fair is much less busy than I thought it would be: and I'd been too intimidated (and repulsed) to come up here the three years I've been to career fairs before now. He is one of seven young men representing the firm at at the largest booth on this floor (tied with Jane Street), and I ask him about software positions at the finance firm. He's a trader. My mind wanders as he tells me the fast paced environment of programming for trader-clients, and I wonder how much more money I could earn in my career if I pivot to trading now. Is it even possible?

I go downstairs back to the software booth, and get my free boba from a startup that barely has time to talk to me, as they're too busy handing out bobas to the people that cut in line in front and behind me. And then I head out.

Really fucked up that, when they’re young, Patrick and Art are SO tactile with each other, so comfortable sharing the same space. Art lets Patrick touch him and move him and physically overwhelm him and easily acquiesces to it, if not outright enjoys it.

Then in the present, they’ve been so far out of each other’s orbit for so long, held such animosity that when they have their moment alone in the sauna, Art physically recoils from Patrick’s close proximity! It’s so painful to watch because even as Patrick’s goading him, it’s so obvious he wants to be able to get back into Art’s space. But Art has erected all these walls around himself, he refuses to give Patrick an inch or even admit to missing how close they used to be!

AND THEN we see Art and Tashi later and he wants her to hold him, to be gentle with him, and just TOUCH him. Like, he does miss that kind of close physical contact! He either doesn’t know how to ask for it or is uncomfortable being that openly vulnerable. Worth noting that he pretty much always defers to Tashi in regard to initiating physical intimacy (with their first kiss, though he does state his desire, SHE has to be the one to make the first move). And it seems pretty obvious that Tashi herself isn’t comfortable providing that intimacy, whereas Patrick actively seeks to provide it (the hug/forehead kiss after their win together in the early years, dragging the stool closer to him).

Art has tried very hard to act like he doesn’t need physical affection and even though his discipline and devotion to Tashi has made him a stronger tennis player, it’s made him a hollow person, which, in turn, has kept him from becoming a GREAT tennis player.

All of this, of course, is why the ending hits so damn hard.

Founding Fears and Presidential Panic: A Very Dead Discussion on Modern America

A Satirical Séance for a Spiritually Bankrupt Nation

Setting: Somewhere in the misty ether of the American afterlife. It is equal parts colonial drawing room, Lincoln Memorial gift shop, and Nixon’s personal hell sauna. Eight very dead men are gathered around a spectral roundtable. The mood? Tense. The vibe? Apocalyptic. The snacks? Conceptual.

CAST OF THE DAMNED:

King George III – Royal, smug, half-smiling at the dumpster fire.

Benjamin Franklin – Naked under a ghostly toga, still inventing zingers.

Thomas Jefferson – Owns a ghost plantation and way too much idealism.

Abraham Lincoln – Gaunt, grave, and not amused.

James Madison – Clutching a tattered Constitution like it’s a security blanket.

Andrew Jackson – Armed with spectral pistols and no filter.

John F. Kennedy – Still hot. Still bitter.

Richard Nixon – Ghost-sweating, ghost-swearing, still deeply paranoid.

Constitutional Consternation and the Death of a Republic

MADISON (wringing his ghost-hands): “Gentlemen, this was never the plan. The Constitution wasn’t supposed to be a choose-your-own-adventure novel!”

JEFFERSON (muttering into his ink pot): “Nor was it intended as a coaster for fast-food franchise napkins scrawled with proposed amendments written in crayon.”

LINCOLN (stone-faced): “They’re interpreting the Constitution like it’s the back of a cereal box. I didn’t get shot in the head so a YouTuber could declare himself a constitutional scholar after bingeing a PragerU playlist.”

FRANKLIN (with a sigh): “I invented the public library, and now they use it to host arguments over whether Maus is too ‘woke.’ Christ.”

GEORGE III (smirking): “Oh do go on, please. I adore this part. You threw tea in the harbor, burned my effigy, and now your democracy is on life support, hooked up to a ventilator made in China.”

NIXON (wiping spectral sweat): “They’ve turned the Constitution into a religious text, and Congress into a Pentecostal tent revival with fewer morals and worse music.”

JFK (shaking his head): “The modern interpretation of the First Amendment is: ‘I can say whatever I want, whenever I want, to whomever I want, especially if it’s a baseless conspiracy about lizard people.’”

JACKSON (snorting): “I fought duels to preserve honor. Now they tweet threats in all caps and call that bravery. Cowards with ring lights.”

Electile Dysfunction (And Other Voter Disappointments)

GEORGE III (leaning back smugly): “Explain this again—how did you go from George Washington to... Donald the Orange?”

FRANKLIN: “One had wooden teeth, the other has a wooden soul. It's a trade-off.”

JFK: “And the entire country’s political strategy now? Just yelling ‘fake news’ louder than the other guy.”

LINCOLN: “Once upon a time, the Union trembled over slavery and civil war. Now it's on the brink because someone banned gas stoves in a blue state.”

MADISON: “The Electoral College was supposed to prevent demagoguery, not cause it. How did it become a rigged casino wheel spinning out cult leaders and carny clowns?”

JACKSON (reloading ghost pistols): “I’d say burn it all down and rebuild, but y’all already tried that on January 6. You dressed like Vikings and stole podiums.”

NIXON: “And let’s not forget the real American pastime: voter suppression! It’s evolved. Now it wears a suit, quotes the Bible, and hands out voting hours like they’re coupons.”

JEFFERSON: “When we said ‘all men are created equal,’ we meant it as an aspiration. But now it’s just a punchline to a red-state election law.”

FRANKLIN: “The only thing consistent is that rich white men are still running the show—just with less style and worse grammar.”

The Rise of the Willfully Dumb: From Enlightenment to Endarkenment

MADISON: “We built an entire Republic on the presumption that citizens would read. Big mistake.”

FRANKLIN (mocking): “Who needs logic and civic education when you’ve got 60-second TikTok videos about how wind turbines make frogs gay?”

JFK: “School boards are banning books faster than Jackson here banned Cherokee land rights.”

JACKSON (grinning): “Don’t tempt me with a good legacy, Jack.”

LINCOLN: “I debated Stephen Douglas under tents in the rain. Now people walk out of presidential debates because someone didn’t like a moderator’s vibe.”

GEORGE III: “Your nation’s collective IQ appears to have been outsourced. Likely to the same people making your fireworks.”

NIXON: “Once upon a time, you had to hide your stupidity. Now it’s monetized.”

FRANKLIN: “I invented the lightning rod. I should’ve invented a moron detector.”

CHAPTER FOUR: Cults of Personality and the Worship of Wackos

JEFFERSON: “People used to deify liberty, intellect, and debate. Now they wear rhinestone trucker hats that say ‘Jesus, Guns, and Gaslighting.’”

NIXON: “Say what you will about Watergate, at least I tried to be subtle. Today they confess on live TV and call it patriotism.”

JFK: “Cults of personality have replaced political parties. I had Camelot. These folks have Mar-a-Lago and MyPillow.”

LINCOLN: “They call any critical media ‘enemy of the people.’ I suppose The Onion will be banned next for seditious satire.”

GEORGE III (chuckling): “Ah yes, your precious free press—now a three-ring circus where truth competes with clickbait about celebrity butt implants.”

JACKSON: “Everyone thinks they’re a revolutionary because they own a Punisher decal and shout at school board meetings.”

MADISON: “We created three branches of government. They’ve created 30 flavors of delusion.”

CHAPTER FIVE: Red, White, and Bootlicks: Stomping the Face of Democracy Forever

FRANKLIN: “Let me be clear: patriotism isn’t screaming ‘Let’s go Brandon’ while urinating on the Capitol steps.”

JFK: “They drape themselves in flags, but can’t quote the preamble without Googling it. And half think the Bill of Rights is a payment plan.”

LINCOLN: “They love America the way a three-year-old loves a toy—loudly, possessively, and without any idea how it works.”

NIXON: “Trust me, I know a thing or two about executive overreach. But this generation thinks ‘checks and balances’ is a TikTok challenge.”

GEORGE III: “The whole ‘freedom’ thing seems to have morphed into freedom from responsibility, decency, and critical thought. It’s a fascinating collapse.”

JACKSON: “It ain’t freedom if you need an AR-15 to buy eggs at Walmart.”

FINAL CHAPTER: The Judgment and the Ghostly Roast

As the room dims and a divine scroll descends from the cosmos, the Founders gather around, eager for heavenly instruction. The scroll unfurls. It reads:

“LOL. GOOD LUCK.”

MADISON (facepalming): “This is it. The Republic is doomed by memes, mansplaining, and moral rot.”

JEFFERSON (numb): “I once wrote about the ‘pursuit of happiness.’ I didn’t mean an Amazon Prime addiction and the emotional depth of a vape cloud.”

FRANKLIN: “I just wanted to fly a kite in a storm. Now they elect people who are the storm.”

LINCOLN (standing): “The better angels of our nature have been furloughed due to budget cuts and the rise of the influencer class.”

JACKSON (loading ghost pistol): “I challenge the 21st century to a duel. All of it.”

NIXON: “I resigned in disgrace. Today, disgrace gets you a podcast and a Senate seat.”

JFK: “We dreamed of going to the moon. Now Americans believe the moon landing was fake and that birds are drones.”

GEORGE III (with a royal smirk): “So... tea, anyone?”

LINCOLN (solemnly): “The government of the people, by the people, for the people... has been canceled due to poor ratings.”

As the ghostly tribunal fades into the mist, America tweets:

“LOL I feel so seen rn. 🇺🇸🔥 #FoundingDaddies #CancelCultureIsReal”

Author’s Closing Whisper: Satire works best when it's only barely exaggeration. The ghosts of the past are watching. And laughing. And more likely, crying. But mostly laughing—because they know the punchline is always America.

I did a little something for @hd-fan-fair 😊😊 I hope you all like pet sitter Harry and wildlife illustrator Draco!!!

Special thanks to @bubble-gumhead, @orange-peony and @avenueofesc for encouraging me to participate, you guys are the best 💕💕💕

Based on this prompt: Draco has received news of a rare magical creature sighting and has been called in to illustrate the animal and it’s natural habitat/den. Only problem is: he can’t find anyone to pet sit his beloved animals and seeks outsider help by hiring a pet sitter through a wizarding company. Enter: Harry James Potter, pet sitter extraordinaire and living his best life hanging out with animals all over Britain, enjoying the vast and interesting towns and houses he finds himself in. Draco, loves his animals so much and asks to have regular contact through letters.

Letter's text after the cut

Dear Potter, I am writing to ask for your help again to take care of my pets. Unfortunately for me, they seem to have grown on you and they have been misbehaving with any other pet sitter. I have no idea why they speak fondly of you and find you so charming. Nevertheless, I was pleased to see that they were in good hands last time.

I hope you have a good rest and enough energy since the next seventy-two hours you will be dealing with their curious, mischievous, and overly friendly nature. Until next time, D. M.
