A paper I wrote in fall 2015 about Black women's role in armed self-defense from 1955 to 1975. This paper actually got me a job at the Maryland State Archives!

It's been a hot minute since I looked at Canada's National Occupation Classification system. I learned about it when studying career counselling in grad school, and it's pretty useful in terms of job-hunting and getting information on what different types of jobs require and pay.
A friend asked me for advice about becoming a therapist so I went and looked. They redid it since I last visited, and oh man there are some chef's kiss decisions.
There are 9 top-level categories, with 1 being legislative and senior management, 5 being arts, culture, and sport, and 9 being manufacture and utilities. So I was looking for my old job's classification, which used to be 4153 - Family, marriage and other related counsellors. Knowing that made searching the government job bank really easy back in the day, because instead of searching "counsellor" "counselor" "psychotherapist" "mental health therapist" "clinical counsellor" etc etc etc to find them all, I just typed "4153" and hit enter.
Anyway, they redid the system and now that job is parked at 41301 - Therapists in counselling and related specialized therapies. Here's the tree to get there:
Cool cool cool. It's tidier, even if the occupations are still a bit messy. (When I dropped out of the field, the different counselling subdivisions were tapping their toes impatiently waiting for the provincial government to let them form their own professional regulatory college. Which still has not happened. Last week my shrink said he'd got an email from the College of Psychologists announcing that it would be gathering all the smaller counselling fields into its own downy breast instead. I have no idea what's happening anymore.)
Anyway. I scrolled down to another job I once worked and HAHA WHAT
Yes. There are only three sub-units of category 44:
Nannies:
In-home caregivers:
And,
Combat specialists
I find this grouping of professions hilarious, appropriate, and deeply validating. No notes. 🧑🍳👌💋
#staranise original#advice on therapisting#that was the job I still have a scar on my arm from#i badgered my supervisor to death to get that fucking gentle self-defense course because of now unsafe it felt sometimes#man that job broke me#only good thing about that year was my cat and nacho movie night with my roommates#here's to never having to live that year again#sláinte and amen

saw a post about how people want will solace to have a gun because they don’t recognize the value of his healing powers which can be true but also
the whole thing in pjo is that for demigods fighting = autonomy and independence (which is why percy screams at the begging IT SUCKS TO BE A DEMIGOD) the idea is that the camp makes demigods safe (by teaching them how to fight) and any other type of labour isn’t that much valuable because they > don’t teach them that it is < / > they don’t live enough to need them <
The Harpies are the ones cleaning instead of themselves, the Ambrosia will heal instead of actual doctors (which puts a hell of pressure on Will when the ambrosia is not enough because he needs to treat those who are severely injured AND the light injured who already took way too much Ambrosia)
And I don’t think this was on purpose RR was just like “oh shit someone and something needs to do this boring stuff”
I think the camp should have an equilibrium going on like teach those kids valuable life skills (what is safe to eat in a forest how do I cook make themselves clean the dishes how do I treat an injurie without ambrosia ((this one for wills sake too)) how do I guide myself without a gps) and also what kind of fighting suits you because yeah in a world where monsters want to kick your ass you need to know how to defend yourself not because this is what makes you valuable but because it what makes you SURVIVE
#also will solace lived in a farm and after that with a single mom who is a SINGER he is the one going#hey what about we put down the sword a minute and hold a fuckin broom#maybe eat something u know HOMEMADE or how to clean a wound#but again art and music and beauty and love are really important but uhhh the apolo and aphrodite cabin need to know how to do self defense#like broke someone else arm etc etc basic stuff#not everyone gets lucky to be born good in archery or charism you way out of a situation#my personal hc is that nico is the one making the make love not war hold a weapon for one danm minute#since his bf is doing the opposite with the ares cabin etc#solangelo#pjo hoo toa tsats#percy jackson#nico di angelo#will solace

it's very funny to me that tumblr of all places has so much heat for the worst aspects of k tanaka's character beats considering that they started out as nearly a direct parody of the tumblr sjw. and as much as i love evan, i can't help but see the irony as well that brennan created a character who, in universe, is the object of a lot of misplaced adoration, specifically referencing kylo ren who had this website in a chokehold, only for evan to become one of tumblr's sad boys even when k has apparently addressed this and grown past it. there's lots of other things that k has not dealt with that we can talk about, but ALSO maybe it would be a good idea to turn a lens on evan considering that the archetype of someone resisting violent conditioning is something else that popped up in this episode that is extremely fucking pertinent irl right now. i've called it 'magical' nationalism before because the allegory is white supremacy and imperialism, right? if we had gotten the shit with the militia in iowa in mismag 1 it would be even more evident. even if evan himself is struggling with something that displays similarities with psychosis or autism, it's not a one-to-one parallel. there is crucial context being overlooked in favor of woobifying him and that's just... chef's kiss. gods bless.
#misfits and magic#i'm fighting not to get spicy in defense of k because i acknowledge that i am projecting on them HARD#(ganbatte yo! nikkeijin stick together)#but also i am so so tired of the microaggressions#and i think folks are projecting their self-hatred on k even harder#OF COURSE i feel sympathy for evan#especially right now#brennan is really good at creating grounded touches for his characters that wrench your heart and obviously losing an arm is traumatic#however given everything i've experienced on tumblr over the last decade some of y'all are yelling at your own reflection rn

I need more content of Varian being a farm boy. By that I don't only mean wholesome content of him on his dads farm, no, I also mean that farm kids are a bit stronger usually. Not to mention all the heavy machinery he builds and moves around???
Let Varian be able to scoop Hugo up and throw him over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes. I feel like he would be the physically stronger one out of the two. (Its okay Hugo put all his points in Dexterity instead he's very sneaky lol)
(Reminder to myself to draw Varian dragging Hugo and Yong along with ease whilst following Nuru)
#vat7k#tangled the series#rapunzels tangled adventure#tangled#varian and the seven kingdoms#varian#i feel varian definitely could break your arm if he wanted to#key word wanted#he's mostly a pacifist as shown in S3#he would in self defense tho#tts

Remember
If you are a transgender adult invest in a weapon or something for self defense. If you are the parent of a transgender child you do the same thing and you make sure that child is safe. Do not let people scare you into submission. Do not let people scare you into silence. Fight like your life depends on it, because it damn well does.

Iran had legal right to counter-attack Israel in self-defense
Israel attacked Iran's embassy in Syria on April 1, in a blatant act of war. Iran had a legal right to respond in self-defense, according to article 51 of the UN Charter, which is exactly what it did by launching missiles and drone strikes on April 13. But Western governments are absurdly portraying Tehran as the aggressor.

2S22 Bohdana, 155mm self-propelled howitzer in Ukrainian service with the 1st Special Purpose Brigade, firing at Russian positions in Donetsk region, Ukraine, 2023. Source: OSINTtechnical
P.S. This Ukrainian-made howitzer shoots far and accurately. Given Ukraine's difficulty in acquiring modern weaponry and the extent to which Western political elites have been infiltrated at various levels by Russian and Chinese spies, it is vital for Ukraine and the rest of Eastern Europe to develop their own military industry and military industry export capabilities
