#marketing class is... fascinating /negative so far#gender is too Not A Big Deal to me for this#it puts so much weight on how traditional gender roles influence shopping habits#which like. it's just weird to have to throw myself into that mindset of 'men vs women' for a grade#because in my mind‚ the lines between the two lean pretty insignificant#like i get it. i'm not here to cancel this random ass course skjskdsd it's just a weird feeling to have to consciously lean INTO that#like there are objective demographic differences and patterns but it feels WEIRD to be reading my textbook about how#you should market cleaning supplies to women and beer to men#like i know it's all just about numbers and it's literally not that deep but it feels offputting to me personally sdksdks

This is something that's a bit Third Rail to say and I want to make it 100% absolutely clear that yes, of course I think women belong in the workplace and anywhere else.
But I think a big problem that lots of NDs have experienced in the last twenty years is that a sub-population of women white collar workers belong to the social set that does most of the social policing of the smallest differences and tries the very hardest to make everyone The Same. And this sub-population has a massive amount of power in many spaces now.
And these people simply were not in the workplace 30 years ago. And 20 years ago, they were in non-profits. Now these people are the dominant tastemakers and the enforcers of corporate and bureaucratic culture. They're the same women who punish women for being NLOGs and the same people who enforce the most standards about Ladylikeness and propriety, via whatever the standard is of that time. They're the same people who as parents would've abused their daughters into "speaking PROPERLY" (which means prettifying everything you say) so how do you expect that dynamic would play out in the office? In the real world? That's their CULTURE.
And now it's yours, whether you want it to be or not. And of COURSE these people see anyone who is Not Them as somehow eugenically dysfunctional because it's always been that way.
It's just that the workplace used to be a more reliable place for a woman to get away from these women, because these women were generally staying home or they were in a volunteer position or in a non-profit. Either these people started working or the culture of what was once much richer people, has spread to the middle class. You'd still deal with other problems at work and male vs female dominated workplaces would present different problems. But the thing is, if you were white collar, you were once upon a time automatically NLOG just for having a job, in many cases. And sometimes that was a feature, and not a bug.
#victorians one by one replaced twentians in management HR and bureaucracy over the course of the late 90s/early 2000s!#and in HR!#these people were more likely to come from - if women - admin/typing pool or - if men - often sales or military background#the entire social class of management - HR - lots of jobs 100% changed#study the coding of bureaucracy in 70s movies vs now!!#or even just watch 'Joker'

vent incoming:
got my grades back for my courses last semester and most of it was to be expected, mostly A's, maybe an A-, etc. but i honestly can't get over the fact that my independent study (the buddy cole documentary) was for some reason given a B. like sure getting a B isn't bad per se, I usually get at least one B every semester and i honestly don't really care about what my exact gpa is as long as i can graduate, but come on. this school put me through months of psychological torment over this project and didn't even have the nerve to give me a B+??? i'm still coping with the self-doubt they forced on me and this bullshit is not helping!!
#honestly it's kind of hilarious ngl. especially bc i also got my documentary work counted as an independent study the previous semester#and the previous semester even tho i barely worked on the doc itself#(mostly just planning and putting together the crowdfunding which was still a lot of work but like compare it to the past few months)#they were willing to give me an A (my school doesn't do A+ so this is the highest mark possible)#vs this semester. like i'll admit my final assignment was late and could have been more polished#but i was literally on tour in documentary-mode 24/7 for several weeks. i filmed an entire comedy special! i put together a live interview!#not to mention having to fucking negotiate with my own college censoring the footage they'd promised me of an event i put together#and play nice with a professor who literally outed me on twitter in an attempt to cancel one of my best friends#at this point the ''B'' feels more like a petty grudge than anything else#like ok we can't get away with *actually* fucking over jessamine's grades bc clearly ze did do the work. but let's just give zir a B#like i will admit the audio quality in my final isn't great. and i could have used more polished footage in some sections#but counterpoint: 100+ students were arrested at a protest while i was editing and i was having a mental breakdown#the fact that i finished *anything* is goddamn impressive especially after they essentially conditioned me to hate myself any time i was#working on a project i loved!!!#due to the aforementioned student arrests my college did put out an option where we could change any letter grade this semester to pass/fai#so anything passing wouldn't impact our gpa if we didn't want it to. so i could just change the B to a ''pass''#but really what's the point. ''B'' is still a good grade and my GPA is fine (3.65 on a 4.0 grading scale. 2.0 is required to graduate)#it just sucks that after what i went through last semester i feel like nobody takes it seriously#i was reminiscing earlier about how it's honestly kind of funny how after that professor outed me on twitter#i was at the hotel with scott like an hour later sobbing and having an existential crisis about my relationship to gender#and scott was so supportive but also awkwardly being like#''i know i should offer the crying child a tissue but where the fuck are the tissues in this room what do i do''#and he just handed me a full-on towel instead like oh my god he was trying his best but also so clearly out of his depth#but of course i then had to remember how when i told that story to a different professor to be like ''this is how much scott cares about me#this guy called me fucking UNPROFESSIONAL for crying in front of the subject of my documentary?????????#like yeah maybe so but how DARE you call me unprofessional when a different professor tweeted my full name and gender without my consent#in an attempt to fucking cancel one of my friends for ''misgendering'' me for using pronouns i'm fine with him using!!!#i don't think i'm ever going to be able to forgive my college and i don't know how i'll be able to get through one more semester#that experience genuinely changed things about my psychology that i'm not proud of and i need to work through#so if i have to miss a goddamn kids in the hall event because i have class this november i am going to set something on fire

#looking like i won’t have to worry abt balancing band with hell semester bc there are major time conflicts now#personal#the music chronicles#the engineering chronicles#to clarify i did not willingly wait this long to register for my classes (in fact i still cannot register for them! even though my#grades this semester are in my transcript and available to view! so idk what the fuck is up with that) we’re not allowed to register for#secondary admit level classes until we pass all our lower level courses first#looking back at my original plan even then there were time conflicts but missing ~an hour of monday wednesday rehearsals was still workable#an hour max actually would ideally be more like half an hour#vs now i would need to miss all of monday wednesday and basically friday too. at which point there’s only tuesday so. not workable at all#this is so frustrating not just bc of needing to quit band it appears but bc now all my classes are going so late in the day and#also obviously they’re with ppl’s last-pick professors so it will be doing our alleged worst semester w our worst profs like. okay! so fun!

i just need to make it to shabbat i just need to make it to shabbat i just need
#😵💫😵💫😵💫#short response due tmrw ; seminar presentation potentially tmrw WHICH I ONLY JUST REMEMBERED ; short seminar quiz to do before friday ;#latin club “homework” which im probably gonna tell my friend i cant continue w bc my weekly workload is already too overwhelming w 3 courses#+ i have to have by thrice yearly lunch w my evangelical godmother which means 3 hour convo half dedicated to getting me to abandon judaism#and half to getting me to repent my sinful homosexual ways and go back to being a nice straight girl#all of which is going to happen in public and she WILL tear up at multiple points of the conversation and it WILL be supremely awkward#when people inevitably start eavesdropping bc let's be real if i were at a cafe overhearing this convo i would be listening in too#and everyone's like 'ugh why dont you just tell her to fuck off' but im the only trans person and the only observant jew she has ever met#two groups against which she already has so many preconceived notions so like. idk it feels like my responsibility#as someone who knows her and who she acc cares about (vs a stranger) to try and give her a different perspective on these things ???#like if me being patient and calmly explaining why i transitioned/why i converted can stop her even slightly from sliding even further right#(and like she's Right Wing like covid denial right wing)#and if it might mean the next trans person or whtvr that she interacts with has it slightly easier then like. sure j can sit through#a couple irritating hours every few months#but its just suuuch a shit time for it like im meeting her thursday after class when i have a massive fucking assignment to hand in on sat#which FUCK gotta add that to the list#☞ annotated bibliography due saturday aka friday bc shabbos#okay okay. im done losing my mind in the notes 😵💫👍🏻#p.s.

What do you think about people saying Payu has a lot of red flags through the show?
I tried typing stuff to elaborate on that
But really... that's it.
I like the show. The acting is fantastic. The lighting is so pretty and has a personality of its own.
And I'm going to be normal and simply say the sex scenes are very creative. I am doing my best to contain what could be a 100,000 word essay on the sex scenes that would blow your entire mind.
And because I don't feel like typing it, I'll just say that the 2nd coolest course I took in university was the psychology of sex and sensuality in media. And clearly the director took that course too. I have never in my entire media-watching life seen a more masterful grasp and application of media psychology.
So yeah.
I enjoy it for what it is and really don't care about microanalyzing the morals or ethics of stuff.
Characters end up happy. I know how to spot a red flag IRL. Imma enjoy the show about 4 men with fantastic jawlines (and the one guy with resting "I'm going to stab you for fun" face).
#irrelevant to this ask but the coolest class was the same professor and it was the psychology of horror and crime in media#each of the psychology tie-in honors courses were not just how stuff is depicted but also how the human brain processes it#and how it is different for men vs women and different age groups and lgbt vs straight and honestly i reread my class notes for fun#10 years after graduating#that's how absolutely incredibly interesting and amazing those courses were#I took 5- sex and sensuality; horror; reality tv; comedy; and one about children's programming#if your university offers media psychology courses fucking take them but especially sex and then rewatch LITA#it's almost dizzying how perfect it is and the layers that you're seeing#i cannot be normal about how absolutely balls to the wall insanely well done it was#so yeah i don't care about the red flags because there are so many green#ask

I just realized that, among my favorite bands, I can now name at least two artists who (badly. badlybadlybadlySOVERYVERYBADLY) faked a Southern accent in their songs at least twice, and one artist who denied, drawling, 'I don't think I have a Southern accent, no. I don't get why people think I do.'
#those two artists would be Nickey of Fanny and Stuart of BC and the other artist is...of course...TP of TPATH.#now. NOW...now...would I EVER...EVER have the vag to write about the song ''Southern Accents'' and comment on#my favorite artists/bands who FAKED a Southern accent in their music...and comment on the social and political consequences of that...#but particularly as it relates to privilege vs. reality of everyday/especially working class Southern folks...?#I can imagine myself doing it but not without consulting my family. tbh. even though does it really matter since my family were#not-exactly-poor white people from TN and my mom and aunts who were born in GA? hmm...well. I suppose I could consider that as an angle.#anyway...what an endeavor THAT would be. good lord. and to think I'd be defending TP. (...count that as the only time I would. LOL)

After stalling for a week your bitch is ALMOST back to being excessively ahead on classwork. Goddammit.
#REALLY what i need is to finish this one fucking programming assignment so i can move onto the later stuff#i mean i already moved onto the later readings cuz i needed it to do a thing i wanted in this assignment (by instructor suggestion)#but if i finish it then i can jump right to the next assignment which would be great.#I do also need to do 7 readings for a different class. it's fine. it's cool. that's pretty simple.#i can finish all of that tonight right#(to be clear this is a joke)#however i AM done with literally everything I'm possibly able to do for my copyright course which is very exciting#hoping to get to that point with my other courses soon. unfortunately for programming that means finishing the damn thing.#megs vs mlis

i keep getting stuck being forced to take classes i despise and that have no relevance to me so i’m going to go all malicious compliance on every single assignment and subtly insult the class material and/or professor
#i’ve taken other sociology classes here that didn’t completely suck because they were about economic equality and such#but now i’m stuck in the intro 101 class as an upperclassman who’s taken higher courses and also doesn’t care?#why.#not to sound like a 70 year old far right man but. this is just a forcefeeding of the liberal agenda#if the (male) professor calls us ‘those who might identify as female’ one more time i’m going to bite him#magic how he doesn’t say that about the men…#’how did your culture shape you’ first of all it didn’t actually. not very much. and if it did i don’t care#you wouldn’t believe it but being raised catholic made me hate the faith. my own discovery and actions made me love it#what you see is ‘raised catholic and is currently catholic’. what you don’t see is the anguish in between. that was all me not society#i am quite conscious of the circumstances of my life i don’t need to be enlightened i’ve been reflecting on this myself for 6 years now#’humans are not born with any instincts!’ yes yes the nurture vs nature debate that sounds like your personal opinion of it that’s not fact#i’ve heard all this ten thousand times in every class even non-soc classes#i understand the material. i just don’t agree with it and never will. deal

We're seeing a psychologist to get some things On Paper now that we have a centralized medical care team and want to make it easier to get medical accommodations in the future if needed. This person immediately out of the gate was clear that, if there's something that is causing distress and he would recommend treatment/accommodations, we'll discuss how it would get entered into my chart and thus sent to insurance. But if there's anything that isn't, it may be in his notes, but he won't submit it to insurance unless it <i>becomes</i> an issue.
First session was a very quick overview of childhood and only getting into The One Ex, and he straight up said we were a model patient because we understand exactly how to answer things for him to fill out the consultation paperwork, haha. New weird flex.
#we had another surgery recently plus started a summer school class and we're finishing up at a second job#so we're a bit behind but will catch up with folks soon#But we're busy bees for a little longer#scully.txt#will of course did the session and we are not letting the “model patient” thing go#well Coop did as well but more for information vs talking

Whenever I see asian, brown, and/or black Americans reinforcing, supporting, and upholding racism, colonization, imperialism, colorism, and any other belief system that not only harms them directly but other non-white communities as well and they still want to claim that they themselves are POC and face discrimination I feel bitter disgust towards them.
#yeah I know the oppression Olympics aren't real#everyone has their own problems#but the way so many Asian Americans contribute to colonization of the USA#refuse to admit they are guilty of anti-black racism and won't even acknowledge the Native American genocide really upsets me#then of course there's the colorism that every single Community is guilty of#don't even need to explain that one#the fact that my fellow brown people are also guilty of anti-black racism is upsetting as I feel we should be allies#and let's be honest there are black Republicans out there#whether it be through self-hatred or combination of multiple factors a lot of black people don't want to see other black people succeed#plus I've seen my share of black people on the Internet Posting pictures of themselves in red face for Halloween or#talking about how if Pocahontas was real she would be a black woman#fucken really?#plus many middle class and higher Asian Americans and African Americans don't want to acknowledge who's stolen land theyre living on#i 100% agree African-American should receive reparations from the US government#but I see people talking about how they deserve to have a plot of land and that makes me uneasy#of course there was that whole Asian American vs African American violence during the covid shutdowns#white supremacist love to see anyone who is not white tear each other down because it makes their job easier#I know we have our history between all of us that has left scars that never healed#I just find it so sad that we as a whole are still tearing each other down instead of trying to do better#I don't know how to properly explain this without going into a long ass historic rant#plus I don't want to#no energy#just wanted to get some thoughts out of my head

i’m fucking sick and tired of the internet not understanding what minimalism is. if i see one more person reblog a picture of a white or beige apartment and tag it “i hate minimalism” i’m gonna lose my mind.
#my first full time salaried job was at an art museum that featured a significant collection of minimalists works so i recognize i'm a biased#but come on#last week in the freshman art history survey course that i ta for#right before she introduced minimalism the prof asked the 60 person class if anyone loved minimalism#and the other ta and i were the only ones who raised our hands#then the prof said#see? only the nerds#. . . she was right tho#also another point:#there's this brutalism vs minimalism shit going around tumblr now and it's the stupidest thing i've ever seen#as if brutalism and minimalism weren't closely aligned aesthetic revolutions bridging the gap between modernism and postmodernism#as if they weren't both celebrating the purity of form! you dipshits!
