#also sometimes I get prompts that take a bit more creative input or are emotionally tasking and those take a while to respond to

[morganbritton132]

I see a lot of people sending you their thoughts for your tik tok universe and just out of interest: do you enjoy people sending you their thoughts? Like we’re all creating something together? Or do you sometimes get asks you completely disagree with and just don’t answer them? (Because I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ask you answered with disagreement though I might be wrong with that)

Personally I’m very fascinated whenever someone “opens” an alternate universe idea and a large portion of the fandom comes together to expand on this very new version of reality. So I’m very much enjoying every single one of these posts and I’m really thankful that you “opened” the idea and became the hosting point 🩵

This is a very interesting ask to be sent so thank you!

I really enjoy that people send in their thoughts and ideas for this AU.

I like that the AU is collaborative. It makes it easier to keep it going, because it really is one or more posts a day and I think it’d be a lot harder to keep up creatively without other people contributing their thoughts and ideas. It really opens the door up to possibilities that I wouldn’t have considered before and people ask questions that have implications that I haven’t really thought of.

I think it helps to ground the AU into a very real sense of reality and I love that.

I find it endlessly fascinating that the aftermath of being a hero is real life and that after you save the world, you have to live in it. This AU started out as a one-off post about Eddie being bad at the internet and then morphed into this almost-character study of surviving world-shattering events and then creating a life out of the pieces that is beautiful and soft, and caring.

I don’t think that’s achieved without other people’s input.

And also! I think it is super interesting to explore the consequences of being online and people send in prompts that really help explore both the positives and negatives of online communities, and I am grateful!

I do sometimes get prompts that don’t really align with where the AU is going or that are a bit too fantastical or out of character for the setting, and I typically just leave them alone. It feels mean-spirited to publicly respond to someone and tell them that I don’t like their idea.

It also feels like it’d be really discouraging to those people and I don’t ever want to discourage someone from thinking creatively or like, embarrass them in any way because I don’t think I’ve ever received a bad prompt. It’s just that it doesn’t fit the narrative or that I am not equipped to tackle it.

All and all, I am really grateful for this AU and that it has created this little wholesome community. It’s been very rewarding and very fun.

Actual, real world advice from Lee: Useful corporate phrases

I have no idea if anyone still checks this blog, and if they do, this has nothing to do with what usually gets posted, but I’ve done two of these, so here’s a third!

“Thanks, you’ve given me something to think about.”

Use it: When you get feedback you don’t agree with - especially if you have an immediate emotional reaction to it.

Why: Because it acknowledges but doesn’t agree. Basically buys you time to react privately without damaging the relationship. Immediately (and emotionally) jumping into telling someone why they’re wrong is only going to strain the relationship. When you’re getting feedback, you want the other person to feel heard (science says even having the opportunity to air negative feelings makes people feel more positively about the thing). That doesn’t mean you have to AGREE. This statement lets you acknowledge, while buying you time to process. This also gives you an out on things like opinions people have on presentations or projects: if they bring it up later you can say you thought about it, but decided to keep what you had because A/B/C and by then you’ll have had time to craft an ironclad response. 

“I can’t, I have a prior commitment.”

Use it: When you’re being asked to work hours that your coworkers aren’t, or that you are not part of your regular schedule, or, you know, when you have a prior commitment and don’t want to give details.

Why: Your time is your time and you don’t owe an explanation! Yes, it’s important to be a team player, and it’s important to be flexible and get the work done when it needs to get done, bit if you’re in a situation where, say, a parent isn’t asked to come in the weekend because your boss knows they have kids, and you are because they know you don’t, draw the line. There’s often a temptation to justify unavailability (lie and say doctor’s appointment, family event, traveling) but you do not owe justification for your time being your own, and not wanting to take the burden of additional responsibility without additional compensation in return. Being in the habit of not providing justification will come in handy if you ever don’t want to disclose something later (eg, private appointment, interview at another workspace) - it won’t seem suspicious that you’re suddenly being vague. 

“The goal/outcome for this meeting is...”

Use it: When you’re running a meeting.

Why: You would be amazed how different everyone’s perceptions of their role in a meeting are, and setting expectations so obviously may feel silly but wow it helps. Let’s say I schedule a 1:1 with my boss. I just call it, Lee/Boss 1:1. I walk in and start venting about how Coworker is always late in responding to my emails. What does my boss do? In this case, my boss doesn’t know if I want them to fix my problem, if I want them to just let me air my grievances, or if I want them to give me advice, etc. If they do something other than what I want, we’ll both be frustrated. If I instead I preface it by saying, “I’m going to handle this on my own, but I just need to say it and be heard.” or “I need some advice.” then we both go into the convo knowing our roles. This works on big meetings too, “I’m going to make the final decision but I schedule this meeting to hear your input…” “At the end of the meeting I want to walk away with a budget we’ve all approved…” 

“What is the most important thing for us to accomplish [during this meeting]?”

Use it: When you don’t know the expectations for a meeting, you don’t think you need to be in the meeting, the meeting has a lot of people on it, or you’re getting frustrated because you don’t know why there’s a meeting in the first place.

Why: So that you and the person leading the meeting don’t focus on different things! See the above entry :)  

“Hypothetically, what would the ideal outcome look like?”

Use it: When someone is stuck on a problem (including yourself).

Why: We tend to artificially impose limits on our problem-solving, which stops us from being creative, going into an open-ended hypothetical offers a new vantage point.

A lot of times when we’re stuck, we try so hard to make do with what we’ve got that we fail to consider how much more is actually available to us. Start with the ideal and figure out which components of it are accessible. Then work backwards with what/how/who questions. What/how/who are open-ended. They make you think! Consider: “Can you rent space by this weekend?” this is a closed decision, it limits you to yes/no, and puts limiters on the delivery (what comes to mind are event halls, restaurants, etc) Compare to: “What kind of space do you need?” which could prompt something like, oh, just space for 10 people - what about a park? Open-ended questions are your friend when trying to help someone solve a problem (even if that ‘someone’ is yourself!) 

(not a phrase)  Save ‘I’ for remediation, passive voice for problems

Use it: When you have to communicate a problem that is not your fault.

Why: Because you shouldn’t take responsibility for something that isn’t your responsibility - but throwing someone else under the bus is NEVER a good look. Putting the ‘I’ on action shows you’re working on it. Consider, “I don’t have bandwidth to take on this project right now” vs “This project will require more analysis than that timeframe allows, but I can start on it [later ETA].” The latter is stronger - the fault is on the project, not your time management (or your leadership’s inability to see that your plate is full). Also, “I haven’t finished because Bob hasn’t sent me the graphics.” vs, “The project’s just waiting on graphics. I should be able to wrap up by Tuesday if they arrive Monday. I’ve reached out to Bob, his ETA is [ETA]”. Same thing - it’s communicated that the project isn’t finished, but the fault is left sort of nebulous. You’re not artificially taking it one, and you’re not tossing Bob under the bus. Takes some practice, but definitely makes life easier. Caveat (there’s always one): If you screw up, take ownership and do it fast. It is always, ALWAYS better to control the narrative of failure than for your leadership to find out you failed from someone else.

(not a phrase) KEEP TALKING

Use it: When you’re interrupted by someone being obnoxious.

Why: Because you’re not done, and they’re being rude, and this communicates that without calling them out. Legit, just finish your sentence like you don’t hear them talking. Don’t miss a beat. Not to make this about gender, but this is something I, as a female on mostly all-male teams, have found to be EXTREMELY effective, to the point of other people reaching out to me after like wow that interrupting person was kinda bein’ an asshole, sorry, and me being like no biggie thanks for noticing and taking my back. Has that secondary reach out ever happened when I just meekly cut myself off for them? No. Caveat - maybe don’t do this if the person interrupting is like, a VP/CEO they won’t take it well. Also, second caveat, have some grace for your coworkers if it’s not something they do often and you work with them frequently - we all get overexcited and interrupt unintentionally. This is specifically for use in scenarios where a) you are not being heard  and you need to be b) you are the authority (either by knowledge, seniority, or scheduling) c) to make someone who interrupts habitually aware they’re doing it to you.

Edit: The fantastic and wise @han-pan​ offered as well, “Can I finish?” quoth she: “I find it helpful because it identifies that person has interrupted, it is stark and direct enough to startle someone out of talking louder and louder until you finish, and it’s really hard to be mad at someone for asking your permission when you’ve fucked up.” AND I AGREE. This is a good one to use in those ‘have some grace’ moments, as it’s less likely to damage the relationship.

“Sorry, but I don’t have the decision-making or budget authority.”

Use it: When someone on LinkedIn wants you to try their service...

Why: Because they’ll leave you alone, usually.

“What’s the most important issue for you to solve/question for you to answer?”

Use it: When you’re disagreeing on approach with someone.

Why: Again, expectation aligning!

Sometimes people just dig their heels in on something. There’s usually a reason. Let’s say Coworker A and Coworker B are both working a presentation for Director C. Coworker A is frustrated because they’ve been given strict instructions to keep it to 15 minutes, but Coworker B keeps adding slides, even after A deletes them. By asking B what the most important question for them to answer is, A can use that as a guidepost to focus the presentation. (Likewise, if B asks, what’s the issue, they’ll understand A is really concerned about going over time)

DAILY ASTROLOGY REPORTS AND HOROSCOPES FOR 11-14-17

Astrology Cafe Daily Astrology ABOUT TODAY DAILY MONTHLY CHART You are here: Home / Daily Astrology / Astrology of Today – Tuesday, November 14, 2017 Astrology of Today – Tuesday, November 14, 2017 Nov 12, 2017 by Annie Leave a Comment  The Moon is in Libra. The Moon is waning and in its Last Quarter phase until 8:11 AM, after which the Moon is in its Waning Crescent phase. The Last Quarter Moon occurred on the 10th and the New Moon will occur on November 18th. Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow today (Mercury will retrograde from December 3-22). **Times are Eastern Standard Time (EST). Horoscopes Aries  Aries The Moon spends the day in your partnership sector, dear Aries, marking the time of the month when you’re more inclined to seek out company. Relationships may not be functioning at their very best today, as you can be going in and out of wanting closeness or you could feel slightly off-timing with someone in your life. Even so, conversations flow and there is a chance to unbury a problem or resentment now. You are quick to support or defend others today. Taurus  Taurus Insecurities or self-doubt can play with your interactions today, dear Taurus, but self-awareness will do wonders for improving your connections. Sometimes, timing is a little off, and it’s not something to worry about. In fact, small “downs” can make the “ups” feel especially good. Today’s Moon is enlivening your work, health, and habits sector, and you’ll feel much better about yourself and life if you take care of some niggly details. Pouring a little more heart into your work or health regime may be all it takes to make you feel fabulous. The Moon’s monthly alignment with Mars occurs today, and this can fill you with courage and enthusiasm, or it can get you all riled up about something you wish would take less time. Tame impulses now but “listen” to your feelings. Gemini  Gemini Today’s Moon is enlivening your sector of heartfelt activities, dear Gemini, and you’re more emotionally invested in your love relationships, hobbies, children, or creative projects than usual. There is a spontaneous and slightly daring energy to the day, and you may be craving activities in which you can create, compete, or play. For the most part, the desire for action becomes you rather than leaves you feeling restless. You could be excited about initiating, taking the lead, or enjoying spontaneity in a romance, entertainment, recreational activity, or hobby. A passion or crush can be energizing, possibly even motivating you to better yourself or to do your best. Cancer  Cancer You’re likely to feel enlivened by the Moon-Mars alignment in your home and family sector today, dear Cancer, and excited about taking action or doing something productive related to your personal or home life. You are in the mood to make something happen, to push something forward, and to solve problems that have you feeling that you’re ahead of the game. No more dilly-dallying! Do these things within reason and keep abreast of your energy levels and capabilities, and you’re in a good position now. Of course, this energy can lead to tensions if mishandled, and awareness that the underlying need is to get something done will help you channel it well. Leo  Leo A Venus-Chiron aspect active today can point to some emotional distancing in close relationships, dear Leo, but the day is far from a loss. You are in excellent shape, in fact, for conveying your message, expressing your ideas, and connecting with others. Mind you, you may be a little forceful or rough at the edges with this kind of enthusiasm, but most others will find the excitement contagious. Use your mental courage wisely. It can be an especially mentally active day due to information or news coming in that moves something forward, passion about a personal interest, or a competitive situation that motivates you. You want to come out a winner today, and you’re thrilled about whatever you have going on. You are interested in triumphing, bringing something to a new level, or taking the lead. Virgo  Virgo You may need to watch for the subtle levels in any messages you convey today, dear Virgo, which may be missing the mark emotionally. Others may misconstrue, so be particularly sensitive when expressing yourself. However, the day is excellent for getting things done! Your desire for action and emotional needs connect today, and this can prompt you to get going in a business or financial matter. You’re ready to solve problems, and while you are perfectly capable of getting things done on your own, conversations with or input from family can be helpful today. Even though your emotional fuse can be a little short, your desire to come out on top is healthy and is likely to keep you going. Libra  Libra The Moon spends the day in your sign and aligns with Mars today, dear Libra, energizing you. You are eager to come out on top, get ahead, and get things done! Being less dependent on others’ approval for what you do frees you up in beautiful ways. You could be feeling a little competitive, not necessarily with others but with your personal best. There is good energy for going your own way, but friends can also be very supportive. You are supportive of them, as well. Even so, Venus, your ruler, is in challenging aspect to Chiron today, and a bit of chaos in your daily life can distract you now. Be a little more tactful than usual with others, particularly those you work with. Scorpio  Scorpio Venus in your sign forms a minor challenging aspect to Chiron in your creativity sector, dear Scorpio, and while you’re usually coming across very well these days, you may feel a little stiff or unnatural today about sharing your ideas, creations, and love! However, a Moon-Mars alignment in your privacy sector keeps you busy, if only behind the scenes. Emotionally speaking, you tend to withdraw into your own world, but you’re also emotionally brave and ready to take action. Perhaps this is about courageously putting a negative situation behind you. You don’t much feel like playing to your imagination and would instead prefer to be proactive, dealing with problems before they get a chance to grow. Take advantage. Sagittarius  Sagittarius There is part of you that’s reticent about sharing your affections today, dear Sagittarius, but this may be because you need a little space to understand your feelings better. Let this be. There is good, even courageous and brave, energy with you for your social life, however, as the Moon and Mars align in your social sector. It’s also an excellent time for taking action on a plan or happiness goal. You’ll be inspired and motivated to pursue a long-standing dream, to team up with others to get something important done, or fight for something (or someone) dear to your heart. You’re quick to become fired up about and emotionally invested in a cause. You assert yourself naturally now – so smoothly, in fact, that you don’t tend to drum up opposition. Capricorn  Capricorn There may be some reticence about expressing your affections today, Capricorn, or stiffness in your communications and interactions in spots. Timing is slightly off, but it’s not something to worry about. In fact, you may need more time with your feelings before embracing them. However, when it comes to the practical world, you’re quick to become worked up and fast to adopt something new! Life path or career-related decisions seem to be more straightforward than usual. While you can be somewhat retiring personally today, your ambition to triumph, succeed, or win is stimulated now. Do keep in mind that you are bound to bring out strong feelings and reactions in others whether or not you intend to. You quite naturally take the lead or act independently, and your sense of where to go or what to do next is strong. Aquarius  Aquarius You need more time to embrace situations or ideas on practical and business levels today, dear Aquarius, but you’re very quick to jump into action on most other things. Motivation fuels your energy. Up to a certain point, this works almost magically for you. Of course, there is a limit to this process, and excess heat can turn into restlessness. However, you’re in good shape for keeping things real now. You might thoroughly enjoy a spontaneous, activity, sharing ideas with friends, networking, learning something new, and possibly working towards a cherished dream or goal. Games and playful competitiveness are exciting now. You find it easier to accept new ideas and explore new subjects, directions, or activities. A sudden decision to try a new venture or topic may be made now. Do watch for getting too worked up about a belief or idea, but if it serves you well, enjoy the moment. Pisces  Pisces You may struggle a little with how you feel about a subject today, dear Pisces, but the day holds great promise for you on emotional levels. Give yourself time to cozy up to a topic and focus on those things that genuinely energize you today. You can be exceptionally resourceful now, anxious to resolve a conflict or solve a problem that has held you back or frustrated you in recent weeks. You want to accomplish something significant or come out ahead, particularly in your private life. Understanding a relationship, a person, a mystery, or a subject at a deeper level are strong draws as the Moon and Mars meet in your intimacy sector. You are motivated today, and decisions to act come very quickly once you’re engaged emotionally. * Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.

SCORPIO STRONG Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic. SAGITTARIUS STRONG Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless. BALANCE OF ELEMENTS EARTH WEAK There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves. WATER STRONG We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality. BALANCE OF MODES The modes are balanced. LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC Moon less than 45 degrees behind the Sun. Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit. The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on November 14th: Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies. Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today). **I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime). THE MOON THE MOON IN LIBRA We are focused on our relationships, and finding balance, peace, and harmony in our personal environment under this influence. 10TH DEGREE OF LIBRA Part of Body: Nerve supply to kidney and renal pelvis Sabian Symbol: A canoe approaching safety through dangerous waters.

This is a time for turning a critical eye to those beliefs and principles that don’t accurately reflect our authentic selves. (December 23, 2014, to June 14, 2015, then September 17, 2015, to December 20, 2017) 26TH DEGREE OF SAGITTARIUS Part of Body: Condyles of left femur Sabian Symbol: A flag-bearer in a battle. ASPECTS OF SATURN TRINE URANUS Orb 0°27′ Separating You have a talent for investigation. You look at new ideas and are able then to put them into action. In business you achieve much in your own independent way. SQUARE CHIRON Orb 1°27′ Separating There can be fears now of not being competent or effective enough to meet our responsibilities, or we could find it hard to strike out on a unique path, again due to fears or insecurities. The desire to break from the status quo is strong, but we may not have the necessary confidence to do so. We may have difficulties empathizing with others and understanding ourselves. URANUS URANUS IN ARIES The urge to start fresh, to break free from restrictive attitudes or circumstances, to totally redesign an area of our lives (or even our personalities), and to gain freedom through independence is strong during this cycle. (May 27, 2010, to August 13, 2010, then March 11th, 2011, to May 15, 2018, then November 6, 2018, to March 6, 2019). 26TH DEGREE OF ARIES Part of Body: Skull Sabian Symbol: A man possessed of more gifts than he can hold.
