SAG-AFTRA just made a deal with an AI company behind its members' backs. No consent was given and no one was informed of this decision.

Love Story

Speech Class. The class that stood between me and a degree. I was terrified of public speaking. I was just a kid, 18, sure if my path in life. Sure I could NOT give speeches. My professor, when I explained, was heartless. “You want a degree, right?” “Yes.” “Then you’ve got to take speech.” Ugh. It’s surprising they don’t require speech anymore. It’s not an essential course in Texas, even…

I’ve got one foot in the door, and I’m holding it open. But there’s a line of people who are walking by, and I’m tired of being polite. Its hard to stand up for yourself when others keep pushing you back down. Will someone else please hold open the door? I can’t feel my feet anymore.

the two biggest pieces of advice that i would express to anyone thinking about grad school are

1) do not pay for grad school. i am dead serious on this one. this was the number one thing every single professor i had in undergrad expressed to me. going to a grad school that doesn’t offer tuition remission or teaching or any type of funding so you can complete the work you need to do is not worth going into debt for don’t do it don’t do it don’t do it because��

2) besides the obvious (the degree) grad school offer you two things (ideally they offer both); training or access. by training i mean rigorous high level hands on practice honing your skills in your chosen field; by access i mean connection to people/institutions/funding to help support whatever work or research you’re doing. (i think that at least in the arts broadly speaking, it is easier to find training than it is to gain access.) i think it’s extremely important to weigh out what you’re getting out of a specific program and decide not only what is more important to you but also what opportunities a school is offering you

technically, it's about dean being castiel's server, but imagine that with 10x more mystery and it's also for adults only. but actually im doing it an injustice and you should read the author's tags/summary yourself

Have you heard of the show "Undercover Boss"? Where the CEOs of companies disguise themselves as entry level newbies to see what goes on under their noses?

I know the show itself is spiced up for TV drama, but I can definitely imagine this premise in a DPxDC scenario.

Picture Bruce Wayne (or Lucius Fox) disguised as a new hire within the aerospace division of Wayne Enterprises, with young mechanic Danny Fenton showing him around.

i dont understand how people call you "basically a cop" when the most power you have is to tell someone to leave.... like?? you cant arrest people you cant detain them the most you can do is call the actual cops which...... literally ANYONE can do that like????

p much. Usually don't have to tho, people usually listen when you're calm and respectful- more than half the time I'm on the phone it's for an ambulance

People aren't kidding when they say it's basically babysitting

could maybe be a continuation of this kyle

something something about Gaz who always buys the fruitiest, brightest coloured drink on the menu every time he goes out because without fail it gets women talking to him. asking him what it is, if they can have a taste to see if they’d like it, gets their guards down easy as pie and he doesn’t have to do anything but look sweet and approachable even if he’s not

offers them his - you’re not worried about a bit of swapped spit are ya, babe? - and orders a second, but doesn’t mention that the first was all doubles. a mix of too strong spirits hidden behind sugary juice until whoever was confident enough to join him starts to slur their words and lean heavily into his side

once he’s back at her apartment, just about finished with her lax, sticky body left slumped carelessly on her couch where she’d promptly passed out as soon as they arrived, he’ll admit that they also just taste so damn good

Don't stop the music, darling 🎶

If anyone is curious, here's the concept sketch I did first - it was very experimental, I wanted to try and play with the colors and yup I had no idea what I was doing ✌ but it turned out good in the end, I believe, even tho there's ten thousand flaws I very much noticed but decided to ignore on purpose I was too lazy
