#it’s really nice for me

[doublel27]

I think one of my favorite things about The Trainee, aside from the slow reveal of who the characters all really are underneath our initial impressions of them, is how realistic it feels of training someone to go from a competitive education setting to a collaborative work space.

As an educator, admittedly in the US, there’s such a competitive nature for scores and individual achievement and there’s not a lot of room for failure. There’s a lot of reasons for helping students to develop an independent wealth of knowledge to pull on for problem solving and critical thinking based on brain science: the more information/patterns stored in your long term memory the more space you have for complex problem solving.

But also, with such an individualistic set up for achievement with self-reliance as a base, it leads to some of the issues we’ve seen the interns grappling with in terms of not being honest when problems come up or not asking a question of how to solve things, or if the decisions they’re making are the right ones. Especially as the assumption is often amongst the group that failure and mistakes mean they’re out of the intern experience. And the general response from the adults has been: you’re learning, this was a mistake but we are a team and we need to work together.

And I just really love seeing that modeled in a television show, how effective teamwork is built and how it’s a skill that has to be learned/taught alongside the technical skills of the job. Clearly that’s not how all workplaces are, but it’s going a long way to show why the production company works well even when problems arise.

[⚠️The Amazing Digital Circus SPOILERS] This episode was interesting!

[theshadowrealmitself]

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

There's a lot I could say about The Subtance as an unflinching, gruesome close-up portrait of systemic misogyny, internalized sexism, self-hatred, and the brutality of fame, but more importantly, you know what I bet? I bet there is exactly one customer of The Subtance who is doing everything right. Week one, makes a living as a fitness influencer; week two, enjoys a lavish retirement funded by her other self's earnings. Week one, jogging, yoga, filming tiktoks, enjoying the vitality of youth; week two, Alaskan cruises, mahjong with the girls, enjoying unlimited free time and liberation from the crushing weight of the societal expectation to care what other people think of you. Keeps her other self on a nice air mattress with a quilt and always cooks a big recovery breakfast to be waiting for her when she switches. Walks out of that creepy alley every week whistling. Has no idea potential complications even exist. Every other user is living a psychedelic horror show of trauma, goop, and rage, and she's just at Barnes and Noble picking up the latest selection for book club. I know I'm alone in this, but I would happily watch that sequel.

🍂 INPRNT (Prints) 🌻 Ko-fi (Stickers, zines)

I recently bought an art book on Caspar David Friedrich, whose emotional work stuck with me since I first saw it in a museum years ago. Over the course of a few weeks, I read about his life and at the same time did studies/interpretations of many pieces. It was a really enjoyable and fulfilling project; here's a good lot of them together :)

I was happy to see many people enjoyed Friedrich's work+my interpretations while posting them individually. It took way too long, but I FINALLY set up a print shop for some of these + some other pieces for those who expressed interest. Thank you so much!

Do you guys notice how when Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, started planning a general strike, he did it by a) targeting his messaging towards unions with the ability to safely and effectively strike in large numbers, b) laid out a clear, actionable plan for those unions to follow (setting contracts to all expire at the same time, since many unions cannot strike while under contract), c) is using union contracts to set clear, actionable demands that can be met in order to gauge success and provide an end goal, and d) started organizing FOUR YEARS before the proposed strike date to give people the chance to plan accordingly, because it takes a really freaking long time to get tens of millions of people organized?

You notice how he didn't do it by slapping a message on Twitter saying 'hey nobody go to work on Monday, that'll really show 'em'?
