Last year I done some outfits for Lacazette (x) including casual and stage gear, I wanted to do some armour for him but undecided between buhurt or LARP. After spending more time learning how a set of armour work and look into a lot of fabulous manuscripts I decide jousting is his hobby now :))) 🦢🦢 He's not a professional jouster but he's well served in the sport and quite an intense opponent who loves wreaking people. He has logged thousands of hours in his armour, run thousands of joust courses, fought on foot and in the tourney, and even completed a charity run fully armed. The Norwegian 🦇 The Belgian 🦢 The Arbëreshë 🐬 The Brit ❤️

All right you fuckers I’m going to bed cause it’s 1 am and if when I wake up I have to break into super hell to scream out my lungs in fury at the gay sad angel over what his crush just told me I will be very mad.

love the idea that sherlock and liam get so caught up in each other's worlds when theyre bantering (flirting) sometimes they forget that they are also around equally educated people. sherlock quotes othello and moran mumbles for them to suffocate him while theyre at it. liam turns a forensic observation into a flirt and john quips how that is not scientifically possible. silly things :"))

I've never fallen in love with a subject so fast like I did with Archival Studies.

I love you, archives, I love you archival bonds, I love you laws and rules about formation, management and preservations of documents. I love you, I love you, I love you.

Are you a video editor or smth? Did you have to get a degree for this or?

Yeah I’m a video editor or smth.

You don’t need a degree to be an editor, all you technically need is edit skills and a competent reel. However, employers like it when you do have a degree (especially if you’ve never worked in editing before), because it demonstrates that you’ve had experience working with deadlines, and with the constraints a brief. A lot of jobs will ask if you have a degree, and if not, for at least 2 years of relevant work experience.

In terms of actually learning editing though, you can just do an informal short course (which I recommend over learning through YouTube tutorials if you’re actually looking to work towards a career). They’re usually taught by freelancers who work in the industry, and can guide you on what specifically you will need to know for a job. They’ll give you more useful workflow best practises that companies like, which isn’t information you’ll necessarily find in YouTube tutorials. You will get to work with a brief and come out of it with something to put on a reel. And they are good networking opportunities! Students and tutors share job opportunities they find all the time. Same benefits of a degree, but much cheaper and less time consuming.

Short courses are also handy because they usually specify on certain softwares so you can learn for the type of job you want. Bear in mind it’s been about 4 years since I’ve had to look for a job, but at least when I was looking, the industry standard for traditional media (film/journalism/network programming) was Avid, although even back then you’d have to do a proper post production course to learn it cause no one else was arsed using it. New media companies usually go for Adobe softwares or Final Cut (but that one’s rarer). DaVinci’s editing software was fairly new when I was last job hunting, but people swear by it, so I imagine that’s a more common one now too. (It’s handy to know too bc it’s the industry standard for colour grading).

I would say the one thing a degree is useful for is that a lot of editing jobs are unfortunately not solely editing jobs. You might get lucky and find a company willing to hire you on your editing skill and train you up themselves on anything else they want you to know, but a lot of places are specifically looking for an editor/videographer, or an editor/graphic designer. More generalised media degrees are good to have for these jobs, because a lot of media courses encompass a lot of media elements besides editing, so you can say you have some experience in a number of things, even if it’s very little. Sometimes, knowing the basics is enough, and they’d be much happier taking you on and training you if they know you’re not starting from scratch. At the very least, I would always recommend anyone who wants to work in editing to learn how to operate some sort video camera manually, even if it’s just a shitty old DSLR.

You know what? For the first time in a very long time, i actually don’t really want to die.

[lizclipse]

i’ve talked about this before but to fight back against this (intentional) marketing obfuscation you need to figure out and use the real names for these things

what makes NPCs in video games do things: NPC behaviour (this is a hard one since it’s been called AI the longest, so this might not be best)

complex scientific models: machine learning

non-generative tools that automate tedious processes: scripts / programs / apps

generative tools: large language models (LLMs - things like chatgpt) or image generation (DALL-E or mid journey)

using the right terminology for this stuff helps fight back against this and also helps understand what it actually is.

chatgpt isn’t an ‘AI’ it’s a large language model, which is just something that’s been trained on a huge amount of text and can fairly accurately predict what the next word of a given sentence is.

mid journey isn’t an ‘AI’ it’s an image generator, in that you give it some textual prompt and it will generate an image that it’s been trained would closely match that text

i will fight to the ends of the earth to try and get this naming more widely used because the current atmosphere of calling everything mildly interesting ‘AI’ has completely ruined the term to the point of unusability. AI no longer means anything because it can mean everything that a computer can do but we still have other terms with more specific meanings that accurately describe what these things are doing and we should use them

updated oc "family tree" because the last one sucked majorly and did not specify what the hell any of those creatures were. also now we have god lore. and a very long tag rant apparently

With the evolving educational landscape and the increased focus on engaging and intuitive learning, understanding students' psychological development has become imperative for educators worldwide. Educational Psychology deals with the cognitive, emotional, and social development of children and how their learning environment shapes their educational growth. This field study is concerned with understanding how students learn and retain knowledge throughout their entire educational journey. Being equipped with the knowledge of psychological development in children and adolescents, educators gain a deeper understanding of the learning process of students and can guide them better in reaching their highest potential.
