Selecting and Atsushi

So, remember that SSKK fic I made a while back? Yeah, so I was thinking about it recently and I came to a conclusion:

Being a DJ fits awfully well with Atsushi. Morality-wise.

There’s more to a DJ than just playing songs and hyping up a crowd, although it seems that way from an outsider’s point of view, like I did for Akutagawa. There;s careful consideration of the age group, the type of music to play, what gets the crowd up and dancing, the songs people want to hear, how many times they want to hear it, etc etc.

Being a DJ means a lot of people-pleasing, especially since it is one of those jobs intertwined with the entertainment industry. It’s a whole lot of giving, and not much recieving, unless we’re talking cash and a good night to party.

Atsushi would do really well in a job like selecting. He’s very intentive with details, and very willing to do things for people rather than do things for himself. His own perception of himself aligns with the work ethics of being a DJ.

As a DJ myself, I know what it’s like to have a crowd love you for your talent, praise you for what you can do. It feels like a thank you, or a payment towards all that you do for them, however small. I think that’s something Atsushi doesn’t take for granted, craves for it even. That praise and approval, the ability to let people enjoy their night all because of him.

It would definitely leave a big imprint on him.

Not only that, but it’s easy to identify Atsushi as a good DJ. Not a Bad One.

Not the ones that play their own music how they want, when they want, with no regard for the crowd. Not the ones who are the only ones at the party having fun, while everyone sits idle, not caring for the music that plays. Not even the ones speaking or cheering into the mic every five seconds to the point where you can’t even enjoy the music cause all you hear is talking talking talking.

No, Atsushi’s the good kind of DJ that’s always out for request songs, who works carefully to seamlessly transition between one good song to the next, who runs off out into the crowd and completely abandons his turntable set to coax people into dancing with the really fun music. He’s the good kind of the DJ who makes games to get the crowd excited, who hardly touches the mic unless he really, really needs to.

Atsushi’s the selfless, people-pleasing kind of DJ that DJs are supposed to be.

He’d be flawless at the job.

So, I really love the selection of Tim Walz for VP and it’s taken me a moment to articulate why. I mean, obviously, Dem bonafides, he’s sharp, he’s funny, etc etc. But everyone in the Veepstakes fits that bill, Harris was spoiled for good choices.

But Walz offers something that the other men in contention don’t that I think will be incredibly useful in combating Trumpism.

He offers an example and an off ramp to the section of men who felt like they were Republicans by default, and so support Trump by default. There are a lot of Trump voters who are full on obsessive, but that’s not who we’re talking to. We’re talking to folks who grew up in Republican areas, or felt their hobbies didn’t line up with who a Democrat was, or didn’t feel represented by their image of a Democrat. You want to see it so you can be it, you know? Which is why Harris is so inspirational to a lot of segments of folks, but Walz is too.

He served in the military. He went to a state college. He’s your favorite teacher from your public high school. He’s your football coach who actually cared if you were passing your math class. He’s the guy you looked up to at school when your family sucked but this guy cared, and he helped you get out and make something of yourself.

He’s the neighbor who helps you jump your car. He’s your uncle who takes you hunting. He’s your Dad who loves teasing you at the Stare Fair. He’s you when he makes a mistake like his DUI and takes responsibility for it, and when he has the chance makes sure other can come back from similar mistakes. He’s you when you and your wife want so badly to be parents and IVF gives you the family you wanted. He’s you when he says ‘it had to be me’ and used his standing and power to protect vulnerable kids sponsoring the GSA at his school.

He gives the real life example to these men that they can be that football, fishing, hunting family man who wants to provide for his family, be that powerful, respected member of the community and use that power to feed kids in school. That it’s normal to enthusiastically work for a boss like Harris. That yeah those other guys are fucking weirdos, and you’re not a weirdo, are you?

That there’s a place in the Democratic Party for them. That they don’t have to default to being fucking weird.

I hope those guys see this example of masculinity and go… yeah, that’s me. That’s who I’m gonna be.

The fabled, infamous buckled collar shirt… Opens. He’s usually always wearing his cowl and vest so you can’t usually tell. He does love wearing shirts with open/low collars, which you can esp tell by the Daydream Hour outfits Kui designed for him, so makes sense. And yet… The buckle collar…

If u don’t think this is the same shirt btw he actually does up his collar when meeting the canaries. Just 1 scene difference before after, below. He likes to open up his collars when the setting is more casual but business or action happens and it’s back to being all proper and laced up

Btw idk if it’s a mistake but that screentone on Chilchuck’s chest in the second picture of the post… Is Kui telling us he has body hair. Idk is he dirty does he need a shower?? Kui doesn’t draw Senshi with much body hair in the manga for practicality reasons but she did draw in a Daydream Hour once how much she actually thinks he has, so it wouldn’t be crazy if this was the case for Chil too, and then in a final chapter in a close shot panel where she even details the seams of the shirt she can go all out more. Kui talks about peach fuzz and whatnot for elves so maybe they’re just finer or paler in his case. Please please please— Sigh ok it’s a screentone mistake

Anyways while I’m here, low collar comp. Third one is that shirt he wears sometimes where you have to tie up the strings like in bottom row middle outfit of the first one…

The Importance Of Experience: Selecting A Tax Preparer With Small Business Expertise

Tax preparation is a critical aspect of running a small business, and finding the right tax preparer with expertise in small business taxation can make all the difference. Small businesses face unique tax challenges and opportunities, and working with a tax preparer who understands these complexities can lead to better outcomes in terms of compliance, tax savings, and overall financial health. Let's explore the importance of experience when selecting the best tax preparer for small businesses in Mayfield Heights, OH the benefits of working with a professional who specializes in small business taxation.

Understanding Small Business Taxation

Small businesses are subject to a different set of tax rules and regulations compared to individuals or large corporations. Tax preparers with experience in small business taxation understand the unique challenges and opportunities that small businesses face and can provide tailored advice and strategies to address their specific needs.

Expertise in Business Structures

Choosing the right business structure is a crucial decision for small business owners, as it can have significant implications for taxation, liability, and operational flexibility. Tax preparers with small business expertise can help entrepreneurs evaluate the pros and cons of different business structures, such as sole proprietorships, partnerships, S-corporations, and LLCs, and determine the most tax-efficient option based on their unique circumstances and goals.

Maximizing Deductions and Credits

Small businesses are entitled to numerous deductions and credits that can help lower their tax liability and improve their bottom line. However, identifying and maximizing these tax-saving opportunities requires knowledge of applicable tax laws and regulations. Experienced tax preparers with small business expertise can help small business owners navigate the complexities of tax deductions and credits, ensuring that they take full advantage of all available tax-saving opportunities while maintaining compliance with IRS guidelines.

Compliance and Regulatory Requirements

Small businesses must comply with various tax laws, regulations, and filing requirements imposed by federal, state, and local tax authorities. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in penalties, fines, and other legal consequences. Tax preparers with small business expertise are well-versed in the regulatory landscape and can help small business owners navigate the intricacies of tax compliance, ensuring that they meet all filing deadlines, report income and expenses accurately, and fulfill their tax obligations without running afoul of the law.

Strategic Tax Planning

Effective tax planning is essential for small businesses seeking to minimize tax liability, optimize cash flow, and achieve long-term financial success. Tax preparers with small business expertise can help small business owners develop and implement strategic tax planning strategies tailored to their specific needs and goals. Whether it's structuring transactions to maximize tax benefits, taking advantage of tax-deferred retirement accounts, or planning for significant business events, such as acquisitions or expansions, experienced tax preparers can provide valuable insights and guidance to help small businesses navigate the complexities of tax planning.

Personalized Service and Support

Small businesses often have unique needs and priorities that require personalized attention and support from their tax preparer. Unlike large accounting firms that may prioritize larger clients or offer one-size-fits-all solutions, tax preparers with small business expertise can provide personalized service and support tailored to the needs of small business owners. From answering questions and addressing concerns to providing proactive advice and guidance, experienced tax preparers can serve as trusted advisors and partners in helping small businesses achieve their financial goals.

Conclusion

Selecting a tax preparer with small business expertise is essential for small business owners seeking to navigate the complexities of taxation, maximize tax savings, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Experienced tax preparers with small business expertise understand the unique challenges and opportunities that small businesses face and can provide tailored advice and strategies to address their specific needs.

shoutout to my dash and the Democratic Party as a whole right now for being like

Some good policy reasons to get excited about Harris. Gun control! Heathcare! LGBT rights!

Fighting for the fate of the world: has said she’ll make climate change a top national security priority; was one of the original Senate sponsors of the Green New Deal (others: Ocasio-Cortez, Markey), much of which became Biden’s stealthily VERY green Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill and the Inflation Reduction Act

Yes, she was a prosecuting attorney; no, it’s NOT an ACAB situation—highlights of her time as District Attorney of San Francisco and Attorney General of California include enabling a re-entry/anti-recidivism program for young drug users which is now used as a template around the country, pointedly not prosecuting people for marijuana possession (distinctly before it was legal), defending Californians against foreclosures, got the “gay/trans panic” defense BANNED in CA courts, and being the first statewide agency to require all police offers to wear body cams.

As VP she’s spearheaded abortion rights, developed and nearly passed a landmark voting rights bill (stymied by Senate Republicans + 2 Democrats unwilling to change filibuster rules), and quietly built a solid foreign policy portfolio, including firm support of Palastine.
