My Headcanonned timeline of Gallifrey

So the Faction Paradox works The Book of the War and Crimes Against History (the latter of which is available online here) give a pretty in-depth timeline Gallifrey in the leadup to the War in Heaven. I recently posted my replication of that timeline. However, I have a number of headcanons that slot into this timeline - especially since I consider the War in Heaven and the Last Great Time War to be the same conflict. So here we go! This is my timeline of Gallifrey, from the Doctor's birth through the start of the War. I try to avoid spoilers, but there are some spoilers for the Gallifrey series in here. Also, I adjusted some of my headcanons involving Livia and Umbaste while making this, so if I'm contradicting something I've said before, that's why.

If a year is in italics, that means it doesn't come from Faction Paradox - that's my headcanon. If I'm referencing the events of a specific story, that story will be in italics and parentheses at the end of the description.

Have fun! And if you have any thoughts, let me know!

1,152 years before the War - the mechanisms on the Looms that map out the destiny and timeline of the Time Lords they create begin to succumb to entropy after ten million years of use. The resultant Time Lords are no longer as innately/biologically programed to conform to Time Lord society, which will have massive ripple effects on the whole planet. It can be argued that these Time Lords are the first to truly have free will. Among the first generation of these Time Lords are the Doctor, the Master, the rest of the Deca, Grandfather Paradox, and Morbius.

880 years before the War - Morbius, now on the High Council, founds the Order of the Weal, a counter-intelligence service and a first for Gallifrey.

870 years before the War - Morbius becomes president with intent to turn Gallifrey into an empire across Time and space. The Order of the Weal betrays Morbius and exposes him to the High Council, and this starts the Gallifreyan Civil War. It is this war that makes much of the universe aware that the Time Lords exist beyond fairy tales

866 years before the War - the civil war ends and Morbius is executed.

823 years before the War - the Doctor leaves Gallifrey, and the Master leaves shortly thereafter. (this date actually comes from Lungbarrow, which dates itself to 673 years after the Doctor left Gallifrey. But since Crimes Against History dates Lungbarrow, we can pick an exact date here.)

700 years before the War - the Celestial Intervention Agency is formally founded, although interventionist groups had existed behind the scenes for quite possibly all of Gallifreyan history. This is them coming out into the open.

495 years before the War - the Doctor is apprehended by the Time Lords. He is sentenced to a forced regeneration and exile to Earth, although both the CIA and other outside forces made use of him as a deniable agent for a considerable amount of time after his sentencing but before the commencement of his exile. (The War Games)

439 years before the War - Gallifrey is briefly threated by the first return of Omega. The Doctor proves instrumental in defeating Omega, and is granted an official pardon as thanks. (The Three Doctors)

403 years before the War - Grandfather Paradox abandons his loom house - House Lungbarrow - and (perfectly legally) founds House Paradox as a new Gallifreyan House. Shortly thereafter, the High Council catches Grandfather Paradox was illegally carrying out experiments into alter-time structures and he has an audience with the High Council to explain himself. Grandfather Paradox shows up to this meeting dressed in armor fashioned from the skeleton of a vampire. The High Council, still unequipped to deal with dissidents amongst their own species, is cowed into letting Grandfather Paradox walk freely.

402 years before the War - The Master assassinates the then-president, causing the first presidential election in millennia. He then attempts to take control of Gallifrey's power sources, but is stopped and flees off-world. When the primary candidates both end up indisposed, the Presidency is left vacant for years. (The Deadly Assassin)

397 years before the War - The presidential vacancy ends as Greyjan the Sane is elected as Gallifrey's 406th Lord President

396 years before the War - House Paradox creates the Eleven Day Empire, at this point retreat and bolt-hole for them in Earth's temporal space, with Greyjan the Sane turning a blind eye to this action.

394 years before the War - Grejan the Sane commits suicide, leaving Chancellor Borusa as acting president.

393 years before the War - Sontaran forces, using the Vardans as a proxy, manage to breach the transduction barriers and land on Gallifrey. While they are repelled by superior technology, the Chancellery Guard are vastly outplayed in their first taste of real combat. Leela becomes the first non-Gallifreyan to take residence on the planet, and her biology is suitably altered to allow her a lifespan roughly equal to one incarnation of a Time Lord. Borusa is formally granted the title of 407th Lord President. (The Invasion of Time)

392 years before the War - Time Lord Cardinal Thorac decides to set up a rival presidency on the planet of Dronid. Gallifrey crushes this before it can get out of hand, destroying much of Drornid in the process (the villain in the tv story Shada is from there btw). Grandfather Paradox is imprisoned in the prison planet Shada.

320 years before the War - Agents of the Order of the Weal have a run in with War-era members of Faction Paradox, before dying shortly therafter. The Order of the Weal basically peters out, possibly at the hands of the CIA. This is the first recorded instance of the Time Lords learning of the War to come. Pre-shocks from the War cause the timelines of Time Lords not on Gallifrey begin to decouple from Gallifrey's, meaning from this point out it becomes possible for the Doctor, the Master, and others to run into Gallifrey at the "wrong" time. This possibility, and the extent to which it can happen, increases as the War approaches. Since such a decoupling has been considered an impossibility, this goes basically unnoticed.

302 years before the War - Omega attempts once again to return to Gallifrey, with the assistance of a member of the High Council and using the Doctor's biodata. The High Council considers executing the Doctor to prevent this, and while this does not happen, it does demonstrate further that Gallifrey has left its age of stasis. (Arc of Infinity)

291 years before the War - Lord President Borusa decides that only he can sufficiently rule Gallifrey. After politically undermining the High Council to prevent them from opposing him, he summons the Doctor and visits the Rassilon's Tomb in the Death Zone in an attempt to find Rassilon's secret of Immortality. He then disappears, and the High Council attempts to name the Doctor as the next Lord President. The Doctor runs off instantly, leaving Chancellor Flavia and then Tivoli as acting Presidents in his stead (The Five Doctors)

288 years before the War - The Doctor is recalled to Gallifrey and named 408th Lord President. He spends several months attempting to bring reforms to Gallifrey, before naming Lowri as acting President before running off. Shortly afterwords, the High Council deposes him in absentia, naming Lowri as the official the 409th Lord President. (Time in Office)

259 years before the War - The CIA authorize the (effective) destruction of Earth, and when the Doctor stumbles upon this, they strong-arm the High Council into arresting the Doctor on false charges, with plans to execute him. The Master finds this out and leaks this to the Gallifreyan public, and Lowri and her High Council are ousted from the Presidency. Former Chancellor Flavia is elected to replace Lowri, becoming the 410th Lord President. (The Trial of a Time Lord)

210 years before the War - Romana returns from E-Space, assists in stopping a rouge Instigative Group, and is granted a seat on the High Council (Blood Harvest & Goth Opera)

171 years before the War - Following Flavia falling victim to a scandal, there is a presidential election. Romana is the victor, and becomes the 411th Lord President. She immediately sets about allying with the other local time-active species, creating the Alliance of Temporal Powers, but she is kidnapped by the Daleks only a few months into her tenure.

155 years before the War - Tardises begin developing new systems and facilities in a way that to an outside observer would look like evolution. This is happening outside of the usual Tardis engineering.

151 years before the War - Romana is recovered from Dalek captivity, and the Daleks launch a full-scale assault on Gallifrey, although they are repelled. Romana is formally (re)inducted into office. Shortly afterwards, she accidentally authorizes the release Grandfather Paradox from Shada. House Paradox rebrands as Faction Paradox, breaking all ties to Gallifrey, and Grandfather Paradox removes himself from history. Shortly after this, Gallifrey is faced with the anti-time incident, where an unrelated paradox allows anti-time to bleed into real space. (The Apocalypse Element, Christmas on a Rational Planet, Neverland, and Zagreus)

150 years before the War - House Lungbarrow, as both a political force and physical place, implodes. Humans Ace McShane and Chris Cwej begin living on Gallifrey, and, like Leela, have their lifespans extended. Leela and Andred successfully conceive a child, breaking the curse of Gallifreyan sterility. The child would later join Faction Paradox and become Cousin Intrepid, erasing their childhood from history. For history's practical effect, the child vanishes into paradox almost immediately after being born. (Lungbarrow)

147 years before the War - The terrorist organization Free Time makes its first attempts to destabilizes Gallifrey's powerbase, although this ultimately accomplishes nothing. (Gallifrey season 1)

145 years before the War - Lord President Romana opens the Acadamy to non-Gallifreyan students. Ace McShane and Chris Cwej are among the first attendees. The pushback to this leads to political rivalry, which escalates into Second Civil War. (Gallifrey season 2)

144 years before the War - the Second Civil War comes to a close, with Romana being removed from office, and Matthias becoming the next Lord President of Gallifrey. The artificial Dogma Virus is released onto Gallifrey, causing a mass pandemic. Romana, Leela, Narvin, and Braxiatel leave the planet to search the Axis for a cure. (Gallifrey season 3)

143 years before the War - Gallifrey is ravaged by the Dogma Virus. All infected are put into stasis by Lord President Matthias. Narvin's role as Coordinator of the CIA is filled by someone of Matthias's appointment, and the CIA is brought under much stricter control of the High Council. Matthias then exiles himself, and his replacement proves to be ineffectual at best.

141 years before the War - Overseer Luther uses the current political chaos to attempt to change Gallifreyan history into one of militaristic power. Luther is stopped relatively easily, but the side effects of the paradox he attempted to create lead to widespread damage throughout the Capitol. (The Final Chapter)

138 years before the War - Further signs of a future war have led to open speculation about the possibility, although the High Council is mostly deadlocked. The current problems with the Dogma Virus aren't helping, either.

134 years before the War - Romana, Narvin, and Leela return from the Axis with the cure for the Dogma virus. The Daleks make another attack on Gallifrey, but are once again repelled. Romana is reinstated as Lord President. (Ascension)

125 years before the War - the first generation of biological childbirth, with the tacit assumption that Gallifrey needs to build its numbers for the upcoming war. Gallifrey's population begins growing dramatically through both sex and loom, and this new generation is sped through adolescence into adulthood. One of the members of the new generation is Veklin.

112 years before the War - Ace McShane and Chris Cwej graduate together from the Acadamy. Ace and Chris join the CIA, although Chris goes missing in action shortly thereafter (he managed to get himself stuck in a cryosleep pod according to the book Deadfall)

100 years before the War - a group on Gallifrey, fearing the upcoming War, decides to take drastic action. Calling themselves the Doom Coalition, they launch a coup attempt on Gallifrey that results in the deaths (some regenerative, some permanent) of most of the High Council. One of the permanent casualties is the current Coordinator of the Celestial Intervention Agency, so Narvin retakes the role as its head. Cardinal Ollistra takes advantage of power vacuums to move herself from a minor politician to one of the most powerful Cardinals on Gallifrey. Several of the new generation of Gallifreyans, including Veklin, prove themselves in combat. (Doom Coalition)

96 years before the War - following the destruction of the Monan ship Moros, Romana's presidency ends and Livia Coralis is appointed as the next Lord President. Romana then joins the ranks of the CIA. It is around this time that the Nine Gallifreys project officially launches (Enemy Lines)

81 years before the War - The Master returns to Gallifrey, kills three guards, and corners the Lord President Livia for fifteen minutes. Instead of making any demands or threats, he attempts to warn the President of details the upcoming war and the true nature of the Enemy. He leaves, having failed to convince the President of anything.

76 years before the War - The Master returns publicly and is willingly arrested on the condition that he be granted an audience with the representatives of all the Houses. Lord President Livia objects to this, but is overridden by the High Council. The Houses listen to the Master's warnings and begin planning for the War. The Master was issued a full pardon and then left Gallifrey.

50 years before the War - around this time, Faction Paradox goes from "a handful of Gallifreyans who left Gallifrey" to "a far-reaching cult that accepts anyone willing to destroy their own timeline".

36 years before the War - The Master returns once again with new plans. Lord President Livia, in protest, travels to the Enemy's apparent homeworld, planning on creating a colony there to prove the Enemy's nonexistence and that the Daleks are the only potential threat. She is brutally killed and her head is returned to Gallifrey with the note "we are not amused". While news of this incident is restricted to the High Council, any doubt as to the upcoming war vanishes. Umbaste becomes the next Lord President, with the Master appointed as his advisor. In secret, Gallifreyan medicals manage to induce Livia's head to regenerate, although the process is highly traumatic and Livia is left with no memories of her journey to the Enemy's homeworld. Livia is left to slowly recover over the decades in the Matrix, in the hope that she will recover her leadership capabilities or knowledge of her encounter with the Enemy.

32 years before the War - The first wartime order of Time Lords - the Academicians for Game Logic - is founded.

20 years before the War - the majority of the Celestial Intervention Agency remove themselves from Gallifrey and from history by becoming conceptual entities. These entities, now called the Celestis, take residence in a bubble outside the universe, Mictlan. Romana and Narvin, the then-heads of the CIA, are among the minority of the organization who remain on Gallifrey.

19 years before the War - the first War Tardises are commissioned, but the project is a complete failure.

18 years before the War - Chris Cwej is recovered by Gallifrey. Concern over his loyalties lead Gallifrey to authorize the editing of his memories.

12 years before the War - The Enemy makes contact with Faction Paradox through its agents on the Dronid.

11 years before the War - the first of the Nine Gallifreys to fall is destroyed by Faction Paradox (possibly with assistance from The Enemy) in what is remembered as "the Battle of Mutter's Cluster". (The Ancestor Cell)

10 years before the War - the planet that Faction Paradox made its base on is blown out of the sky by the Time Lords, forcing the leadership of Faction Paradox to retreat to the Eleven Day Empire. Meanwhile, Galifrey has detected the Enemy on Dronid, and begin sending in their own agents.

9 years before the War - one of the Houses of Gallifrey (in fact, the same House that Irving Braxiatel was native to) abandons Gallifrey to live inside a universe-in-a-bottle. (Dead Romance)

8 years before the War - Faction Paradox begins experimenting on human colony worlds, creating a new species called the Remote, with plans to use them as weapons.

6 years before the War - Lord President Umbaste makes a risky attempt to divine future events, but burns his brain out. After the event, he spends a few days insane saying the word "One" over and over, and upon gaining any more lucidity, kills himself. Livia takes this as an opportunity to return to the public eye and the position of Presidency, with the official story being she was assassinated by a political rival and needed time to recover from the ordeal. The Master is appointed as War King, and the public leader of Gallifrey to other worlds. Livia remains the power behind the throne, with the Master being a decoy intended to be a target should any off-world elements attack Gallifrey's government. While the Master does appear to have considerable power, it is only at Livia's grace. Ollistra is, at this point, one of the most influential people on Gallifrey

5 years before the War - Gallifrey is now active enough that it is directly interacting with much of the universe outside the Temporal Powers, including posthumanity. The Master is presented as the leader of Gallifrey in these situations.

2 years before the War - Gallifrey attempts to recruit Compassion, the first humanoid Tardis, to their cause without success.

Start of the War - The Daleks annihilate the homeworlds of several of Gallifrey's allies in the Temporal Powers, and Lord President Livia declares war on both them and the Enemy in response. Dronid is the site of the first proper battle of the War and is annihilated. The Master remains the public face of Gallifrey as the War King, while Livia and her agents run the War from Gallifrey. The timelines of Time Lords are now completely decoupled from Gallifrey and could, in theory, time travel to any point during the War. Very few Time Lords are even aware of this possibility. (Celestial Intervention)

Some miscellaneous notes:

This shouldn't be taken as a timeline of the Doctor or Master beyond the 320-years-before mark - those both get complicated close to the War, and so I am claiming both may have had more (or less) time before the War started because at that point, their timelines were basically completely decoupled from Gallifrey's

There is some slight implication that the President who got decapitated is male in the Book of the War (if the Poenari Relic is indeed the president's head), so if that's the case then Livia regenerated into a male incarnation between Enemy Lines and then.

Greyjan being the 406th president and Romana being the 411th are both from Crimes Against History. All other numbers extrapolate from that.

I might do one of these for Gallifreyan history during the war, but I've spent almost 4 hours on this already.

If you have any thoughts or feedback, please share! I am very down to update this!

Dinna fash, Sassenach

Ashley Hearn's arrival aboard the HMS Sassenach...

... has immediately been met with an expert smirk across the street:

I was not really surprised. The blogger could not help herself (she rarely does). She had to weigh in, with that insinuating tone that seems to be part of her personal brand. And, in line with what she consistently posted, the idea is that S, a highly functioning alcoholic in her book, thoughtlessly hired another highly functioning alcoholic, with NO credentials to boot. Plus a profiteer of sorts, right?

Perhaps that blogger wanted to be their new marketing manager and there she is, instead, somewhere farfarfar away from Walhalla. An unsung, compliment deprived and undiscovered hero without a cape? For I have no other elegant & merciful explanation for what could be logically construed as an outburst of hurt ego (we KNOW she has PROPER CREDENTIALS, she shouted it REPEATEDLY across the UNIVERSE), coupled with the usual pettiness, every single time things seem to challenge her view of reality.

Let's unpack:

Ashley has decent education credentials. I am writing this because I bet the farm many casual readers of that legit calumny ended up thinking that she had NO education at all:

A BA in Mathematics, at a good public university in Maryland. And a Master's Degree in Teacher Education and Professional Development at Walden University, a for-profit education institution based in Minnesota, most likely online.

A word about Walden University, though, simply because of the recent controversy related to it. While it is true that Walden has been forced to settle a class action outside of court ( it cost them 28.5 million dollars to do so), that lawsuit was strictly related to African-American students denouncing the lack of transparency related to the university's DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) program.

[More on the lawsuit: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-takes/2024/03/29/walden-agrees-285-million-settlement-class-action-suit]

Anyways, here are her real professional credentials, carefully hidden by the blogger:

Eight years and a half consistent work experience for the US subsidiary of Mast-Jägermeister, one of the most prestigious German liquor companies, founded in 1878 (https://www.mast-jaegermeister.de/). Would anyone be such a fool as to think she'd be constantly promoted by those people just for her eyes only, especially as a complete outsider to the very closed world of spirits business?

I see a hard-working woman, with good professional skills and obvious qualities (brand loyalty, for example), given a new career opportunity she clearly thought interesting enough to make her jump onboard. And I very much prefer an honest underdog, ballsy enough to take her passion and make it happen (thanks, Flashdance!) in a cutthroat, male dominated business environment, to the many lukewarm and half-hearted executives still lingering around in so many companies around the world just for the sake of commodity, predictability and mortgage.

And I honestly wish her every success. She does not deserve this. Nobody does. Luckily for her, she couldn't care less that a Nobody with a blog tried to rain on her parade.

Interestingly enough, Norouzi was the only SS bigwig NOT to congratulate her on Insta. He didn't relay the news, he didn't even like the post, even if they mutually follow eachother (their interaction always seemed to be minimal, though). But that is another story and it is way too early to speculate.

A-T-5 054 From Funkin' Keith to Jackmaster Funk

Farley 'Funkin' Keith was a member of the DJ team Hot Mix 5 with Mickey 'Mixin' Oliver, Ralphi 'Rockin' Rosario, Kenny 'Jammin' Jason and Scott 'Smokin' Silz (Silz was replaced by Julian "Jumpin" Perez in 1985 and Mario "Smokin" Diaz joined later as a sixth member). The original DJ team had been put together by Chicago radio station WBMX Program Director Lee Michaels in 1981. People in the know might say Hot Mix 5 ushered in the second wave of house DJs with Frankie Knuckles, Chosen Few DJs, and Ron Hardy being it's first wave They laid the foundations of house music, first, by mixing disco and contemporary European imports (what was getting called 'Punk Out' at the time) in their intricately sequenced and edited collages (clearly influenced by Shep Petibones' Mastermixes and the Latin Rascals edits). When local productions began appearing they incorporated them into their sets. They broke all the early Chicago house records on the show, these included many of their own productions. There are references in what the DJs were playing in the early Chicago productions, baselines, drum patterns and melodies mimicking 'Feels Good (Carrots & Beets)', 'Peaches & Prunes', '119', 'Walk The Night', 'Life Is A Jungle', 'White Horse', 'Beat The Street', 'Disco Circus', anything Kraftwerk etc

Hot Mix 5's Friday Night Jams were recorded and passed around and many still exist online, like the one below

https://www.mixcloud.com/uniquesoundsofamerica/farley-jackmaster-funk-friday-night-jam-1985-hot-mix-5-wbmx-chicago/

Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk - Friday Night Jams 1985 - Hot Mix 5 WBMX Chicago

Farley 'Funkin' Keith changed his name to Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk around 1985. As well as radio show he was resident at The Playground (later the Candy Store) which was one of the clubs that grew the young, then nameless (well, called anything but House!), scene on the South Side (and West Side) of Chicago

Chip E. and Farley go in together to create the label House Records which puts out the foundational EP Jack Trax. But according to Chip E. in a post on Discogs "House Records was MY original label. Farley (Jack Master Funk) was supposed to be the executive producer (come up with funds) but somehow it fell through after the label art was done (wasn't as easy as it is today). Long story short, I sold my nearly new SL1200 MK2 turntables to afford the studio time, and my mother loaned me her tax return funds to have the first 500 pressed at QCA" - so according to him Farley didn't hold up his end of the bargain

As well as putting out records on House Records Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk is among the first artists on the influential Trax and DJ International labels, deified in the UK

Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk with his roommate Steve 'Silk' Hurley (below as J.M. Silk - Jack Master Silk) led the Jackin' craze when their records became pop hits in the UK (remember The Reynolds Girls 'I'd Rather Jack Than Fleetwood Mac'?) I read the other day the term 'Jack' which was initially more popular as a name for the music than 'House' was short for ejaculate? In all my years I'd not heard this before

Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk - Farley Knows House from Funkin With The Drums Again

Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk - Jack The Bass - borrows heavily from the Laidback track 'White Horse'

Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk - Aw Shucks (Let's Go Let's Go) - reproduces the bassline from Sharon Redd's 'Beat The Street'

Some other artists mixed by Farley

J M Silk ‎– Music Is The Key (House Key) - Steve "Silk" Hurley with vocals from Keith Nunnally on the main mix

Razz Featuring Matt Warren & (fellow Hot Mix 5 DJ) Ralphi Rosario - Razz-Matazz - usually you hear 'Kill Yourself Dancing' or the rhythm trax type track 'Pump It Up' off this release but I like 'Razz-Matazz'

"Never let it be said I don't care for my students. Aren't I most generous?"

-------------------------------------------------------

"I... thought this was lost forever."

Milgram stood in awe of the preserved, pristine steel interior. This chamber, once the ancient throne chamber of Sharanohiar, Soreil's Sharl haven, should have long rusted away after the ship's abandonment. And yet here it was, untouched as the day Lady Kanoyeel ordered it untouched. Not like he was there for any of it, but it was still a significant part of history, simply... erased. Or rather, forgotten. Left to lie, in favor of a brighter future.

Behind him, two Genom-Sharls, a set of tiger-like twins, stood at the ready. "You would be forgiven for believing so. This is one of the government's closest secrets." "But as it is the closest anyone in this day and age may get to the Surge Concerto Terminal, we saw fit to grant you access for this great endeavor. To reconnect with Ar Ciel is master Cosal's greatest wish."

The blue dragon gripped his ritual robes and took a deep breath as he walked out to the center of the room, scaled feet clacking against the cold floor with each step. A turn to the two envoys, and he was given a nod of acknowledgement.

"Follow your heart, Milgram. Our ancient lord trusts in your judgement." "Sing the song that will reunite the two distant children of EXA_PICO. Sing freely with all your strength, MILGRAM_TEIWAZ_KANOYEEL_SOREIL."

He closed his eyes... and belted out the beginnings of a prayer to sacred Singing Hill.

iyon-du vari-wei-iz, koh-ne aa-nie-iz soh-nh nyue-i;;;!

------------------------------------------------------------

"Readings nominal. D-Waves successfully optimized." "Unknown energy signature... presumably the magic of Twisted Wonderland. It's remaining stable, ma'am." "Mark it down as all green, then. Yuuki! You holding up in there fine, kiddo?"

Covered in red scales and eyes narrowed into draconic scales, Yuuki stood in the middle of the base of the Tower of Harvestasha. With help from the Tower herself, it was made into an amplifying field pouring all its strength into the aberrant - or rather, refined - Reyvaroid. Across from him was a legion of researchers devoting their all to his well-being and the execution of this song, its head researcher looking over his physical transformation with a discerning eye.

He looked back with a resolute, yet uncertain, gaze. Sure, they managed to open a way to Twisted Wonderland with much less than this, but that was only because Mickey and PHANTASIA itself was willing it so. This was an operation between two points in space-time directly in EXA_PICO's domain.

"No, but we don't exactly have the famed Sakia Lumei or - Wills forbid - the Briar Maiden herself, so I gotta take care of it."

Yuuki's passive chuckle was met with the encouraging uproar of everyone else, the head researcher in particular laughing with all aplomb. "Ace points for honesty, kid! Don't worry, we'll handle all the small details, so just do what feels natural. We're all green, YUUKI_TEIWAZ_AOTO_HARVESTASHA. Was paks ra reen yor hymmnos!"

A nod. Searching deep in himself, he began singing a most ancient prayer to sacred Singing Hill.

Rrha ki ra tie yor ini en nha...

------------------------------------------------

On that day, Ra Ciela and Ar Ciel reunited through a looking glass.

[filthybonnet]

I saw from a post that you recently commented on that you've made a career out of working in museums. Would you mind explaining how you got into that career path and how you worked your way up to curator? What kind of education you underwent, if any? I'm at a bit of a crossroads academically and am curious to hear how it worked out for you.

Thank you for your time!

Hey! I will gladly answer you! I went a very unconventional route to get where I am. I graduated with my BA in Literature/Gender Studies in 07. I then bumped around various office jobs and retail jobs. I originally wanted to go to grad school and become a professor but the year I applied everyone was going back because it was in the middle of the great recession.

Then in 2015 one of the local history museum had auditions for their Halloween event that consisted of a Victorian wake and a cemetery tour. My dad told me about it because a friend of his was directing it and it involved as my dad said "That Victorian death stuff you're into." In undergrad I focused on Victorian literature and as part of it I also studied Victorian Mourning traditions. I auditioned and got in.

I then got involved volunteering at that museum because I enjoyed it. I did their final two years of the Halloween program, I did large events, I was a docent, I did their reenacting program. I interviewed for a job but I was told I didn't have the insider knowledge. They said if I was serious I should consider getting my masters in Museum Studies.

I finally got serious about that in 2022. I am doing it online and I supposed to finally graduate this semester. In the meantime a friend of mine and I attended another local history museum's Halloween event. 10 minutes in I started yelling out slight corrections and additional information. The executive director giving the tour pointed at me and said, "Next year, you're giving the tour!" I yelled back, "You just met me!" Sure enough I got involved with them and I completely reworked the Halloween event. At the end of 2023 the director asked me if I wanted a job at the museum. It's only part time but I took it. I became the director of curation. I do a lot of other things because we are a small museum. I was hired to focus on getting the collection paperwork together but I'm also in charge of putting together events.

Even though I have this job, I still stay in contact with my original museum and I have also started volunteering at one that is an hour away. It's a bit of a drive but it's been one of my favorite museums since i was a teen. I was originally trained to do tours. However I instantly got involved with the curator because she learned about me. I'm getting so much additional experience with her because their collection is so much larger.

If you are interested in going the museum route, the first step would be to find a museum you like that lines up with the type of museum work you'd like to do and start volunteering. Example: if you're like me if you're into history, volunteer at a history museum instead of an art one. Be open to any type of volunteer work: greeter, docent, sitting down and just opening doors. It's all about making those connections and proving yourself. Also go for the masters degree in museum studies, or public history, or one of those routes. It gives you the theory background. If you volunteer you'll learn that real life and theory don't match most of the time but they want that piece of paper. Research which school you want to go to. I chose online because it was more convenient. And even within that I looked into the different options. I went with the one that was cheaper and more geared towards history and anthropology. While getting your masters, tailor your classes to what you are interested in. Because i knew I wanted to go more curation and education and not management, I took those type of classes. I didn't take the management type classes.

Do be realistic and realize it's a tight market. Be willing to move to where the jobs are. Make those connections through volunteering, a lot of time it is who you know. I had an interview for a full time job while at my current one because I had met the curator who would be my boss before. One of my references used to be her boss. I was her top choice but another department had a say so I didn't get it. She sent me an email to tell me personally. As this shows, realize it is a small world. Don't burn bridges.

I know this was long, mostly because as I said I went back later in life and was unconventional. Best of luck in any decisions you make. If you have any other questions feel free. Remember curation and collections isn't the be all end all of the museum world.

I don't suck, I just lack consistency

I have great intentions, but bad habits.

I have big dreams, but lack execution

I have been inconsistent.

Not to be philosophical, but every beach is made of billions of tiny granules of sand. I say this to say that I believe by consistently having great small habits it can add up o something huge!

I am 31. All my life I have had anxiety, been shy, and felt like I couldn't achieve much. I stay at home with my family, I've never had my own place, I've never had a consistent job, and I have never really fully committed to myself and my future. I've always been afraid to start something and even more afraid to finish. I am in college to get a degree from an online school to pursue technology, I am enrolled in 3 programs which sounds a bit silly to most. I am going to school forl:

an associates in cloud computing

a bachelors in information technology

a masters in IT management

This may sound hard, but I can do this. I have nothing to lose. I want to stop working dead end jobs, that don't pay much. I want a better life for myself, and I want a career I can be proud of. By the end of this year I will have achieve 5 things:

My associates (1/2 way completed)

My bachelors

My masters

My weight loss goal of 60+ lbs

A small success candle business, as well as a small yoga/ athletic class side hustle.

We only have a little bit longer in the year, but I am going to do it. I am using this platform to hold myself accountable and to stop playing small.

Is a Business Management Diploma Your Pathway to Career Success?

Decades ago, the primary focus when starting a business was managing finances. However, today, the landscape has evolved significantly. Now, the focus extends beyond managing finances to overseeing systems and processes for efficiency, navigating diverse client relationships, leading teams to achieve collective goals, and optimizing overall business productivity. While a business leader may naturally acquire some of these skills over time, mastering management requires specialized expertise. This is why many invest their resources in management training courses.

Whether you're an aspiring, new, or seasoned manager, we will explain why investing in a Business Management Diploma  is a valuable decision today.

The Value of a Business Management Diploma

A Business Management Diploma is invaluable in today's dynamic business environment that strives for agility, adaptability, and strategic acumen. It provides a comprehensive understanding of key business operations, including finance, marketing, HR, and strategic planning. This credential serves as a springboard for career growth, offering pathways from entry-level positions to executive leadership roles and entrepreneurship. Graduates gain essential skills, leadership development, and networking opportunities, empowering them to excel in diverse professional settings and drive organizational success.

How can you nurture your management expertise?

Continuous learning and skill development are essential for managers to stay effective in their roles within an organization. Undertaking a basic long-term course like a degree or a shorter program such as a diploma or certificate in Management can provide clarity on one's position and responsibilities within the organization. Choosing a reputable academic destination is crucial, with respected institutions in countries like the UK, USA, Australia, and India offering globally recognized degrees using innovative teaching methods. These methods now extend to online education, allowing individuals to study around work or home commitments without compromising quality.

Leading course providers in the UK, like EDVORO, offer many programmes, from diploma courses to comprehensive degree programs, through their innovative online learning platform. If you are ready to embark on senior management positions, consider EDVORO's Diploma in Management online for a high-quality education to kickstart a successful career.

Managers are frequently promoted internally or based on industry experience. So, it is not always mandatory to specialize in management. However, being a trained manager holds distinct advantages over being an accidental one. By enhancing your knowledge and expertise, you strengthen your resume and earn recognition as an expert in the eyes of employers. Moreover, obtaining a British qualification from a renowned academic institution like EDVORO can give you the gift of boundless career opportunities in the field of management.

i don't know, i feel like lately i've been getting better at... doing things that are difficult? not to sound like a toddler, but it's so fucking hard to get myself to do things, even if i desperately want to do them, and like yeah i know that's Executive Dysfunction, it's just very hard for me to wrap my head around. putting under a readmore because i'm just shooting my mouth in multi-paragraph format.

i have lately been able to brute force Activities with much more success. stimulant is a help, not so much in terms of direct cognitive functioning as much as indirectly by making me less devastatingly tired at all times. i still have little control over the direction of my focus and get stuck doing things a lot, both enjoyable things and unenjoyable things. and things that were enjoyable and then they eventually become unenjoyable and i still can't stop. and et cetera. i jokingly say free will is a sham, because it has always felt on various levels that i have somehow, physically and metaphysically and whatever, not had access to the same level of free will as my peers. shoutout to that person who posted their 'tourette's and free will' thesis online and altered my vocabulary on that front forever lmao.

but like... i've been doing pretty consistent work on some translation, and when i finish this piece i'll submit it and hopefully i'll be able to build my portfolio with a volunteering opportunity with this organization that will post my occasional translations of articles with my name attached. i've been playing chess (not well, I'll say, but i've been studying and practicing). i've finished a couple art pieces (small drawings mostly, except for the camel i whittled over many days and weeks!). been practicing arabic almost every day, and reading on grammar on days that i'm not directly practicing vocab and such. i took a six week intensive stats class during the summer and i worked my ass off and got a B+ (note that i hadn't taken any math class since literally a decade ago). i've stuck this master gardener program class through to the end, and i just need to finish my volunteering hours within the next year (that will absolutely Not be a problem) and i'll be a proper master gardener in my county. i've spent most saturday mornings (early because i am the earliest timezone lmao) this past year since about april, with a couple months' break, playing a logh strategy board game. i moved out and have been handling it.

i think, and i don't want to exaggerate, but like. i have been deeply affected in the past by failure and having to drop out of things or simply not do things because of overwhelm and inability to keep up. i missed out on being definitely cast in a college theater production because of dumb shit on my end. i made it onto an international model united nations team that was going to go to the czech republic and poland to compete, but had to drop. i was going to double major, but couldn't swing it. i took six years to do a bachelor's degree that normally takes people three (four, if they double major), and did a summer language immersion program that i was burnt out so spectacularly by that i was paying for it for YEARS after. i spent all that time literally surviving that i learned approximately no arabic. definitely didn't go to jordan the year after that to study like literally everyone else in my program. all of the volunteer and internship opportunities i could not follow through upon because i simply COULD not, physically or mentally, do them.

i don't know, people are always like 'you've accomplished so much!' which like, yeah, i've definitely accomplished things, i never mean to discount the things i've done! but people have always said so as if it cancels out the devastation of being so close with these other things that i desperately wanted to do and almost did but then didn't because of various internal reasons. and then the feeling, simply out of habit, that, oh, why bother with this thing, you're not going to make it through. there's also a certain patronizing tone that people couch their words with when talking to me about, oh, sweaty, remember that you have your problems. you have SUCH a beautiful brain and i can tell how soooo smart you are as you struggle to communicate with your words. I'll Fucking Kill You With My Hands.

but. anyway. this is the first time i've ever felt like i've come close to actually thriving, despite some troubles with health that are going to come occasionally in inevitable waves, but i got through it. i supported myself financially, and i am living my life on this wretched and beautiful earth.

i changed the goalpost of this from 'doing immediately effortful things' and 'accomplishing goals' but honestly they're in the same enough vein that they occupy the same part of my heart, which is hopefully beginning to fuckin heal after the constant and pervasive disappointment in myself lmao. and some of that is learning to not be disappointed in myself, i guess. things happen, and there are people who have it worse than i've described above, certainly. i've been putting together some grad school apps, so here's to trying again at some shit because i am allowed to and because i probably have the ability to do it.

Steep Learning Curve: Selenium's feature-rich nature comes with a learning curve, particularly for newcomers. The tool's intricacies may require time and dedication to master. While this curve poses a challenge, the investment in learning pays off in enhanced testing capabilities.

Reporting Dependencies on Third-Party Tools: Selenium lacks comprehensive reporting features, leading testers to rely on third-party tools or integrate additional reporting plugins. While this adds a layer of complexity, it is a common practice to ensure thorough and insightful test reports.

Challenges in Dynamic Element Identification: Dynamic web pages with frequently changing elements can pose challenges for Selenium. Ensuring stable and reliable identification of dynamic elements may require advanced strategies, influencing the resilience of test scripts. Employing dynamic element identification techniques becomes crucial.

Limited Support for Image-based Testing: Selenium's primary focus on interacting with HTML elements results in limited support for image-based testing. For projects heavily reliant on visual validation, additional tools may be necessary to complement Selenium's capabilities.

Conclusion:

Selenium stands as a robust ally in the testing arena, offering a spectrum of advantages for web application testing. However, understanding its limitations, especially in handling non-web applications and dynamic elements, is crucial. Testers must weigh these pros and cons, considering the learning curve and potential challenges, to make informed decisions about integrating Selenium into their testing toolkit.

In essence, Selenium empowers testing teams with flexibility and efficiency, serving as a reliable companion in ensuring the quality and reliability of software applications. As the testing landscape continues to evolve, Selenium remains a cornerstone, contributing to the ever-advancing field of software testing.

Exploring Python - A Perfect Easy Language Choice for Beginners

Python is a popular programming language, and it's particularly known for being easy to grasp. But why is Python a common recommendation, especially for people who are new to programming?

1. Language That Reads Like English:

Python stands out because when you read Python code, it looks a lot like the English language. It doesn't use complex symbols or strange commands. Instead, Python uses words and phrases that you're already familiar with.

2. Emphasis on Easy Reading:

Python places a strong emphasis on making code easy to read. This means that not only is your code easy for you to understand, but it's also simple for others who might work on your code. This focus on readability is like having a friendly guide that helps everyone who deals with the code.

3. Plenty of Learning Help:

Starting something new can often be intimidating, but Python makes the learning process more accessible. There's a wealth of resources available to help you learn Python. These resources include official documentation, tutorials, online courses, and forums. It's like having guidebooks, teachers, and fellow learners who are ready to assist you. Python's vast learning support network ensures you're never alone on your learning journey.

4. Super Flexible:

Python is an incredibly versatile programming language used in various domains. It's employed in web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and more. Learning Python opens doors to a wide range of career opportunities, just like a master key unlocks many doors.

5. A Library of Shortcuts:

Python boasts an extensive standard library that includes pre-written code for various common tasks. This is like having a collection of shortcuts to simplify everyday coding tasks. These pre-written pieces of code can save you a great deal of time and effort when you're building applications.

6. A Crowd of Friends:

Python has a vast and active community of developers. These Python enthusiasts hang out online, answering questions, sharing tips, and making sure you're never stranded for too long when you encounter programming challenges. It's like being part of a giant, friendly classroom where help is always at hand.

7. Costs You Nothing:

Learning Python doesn't come with a price tag. Python is open-source, which means it's entirely free to use. You can download and install Python on your computer without spending any money, similar to finding a cool toy without having to make a purchase.

8. Tools Made for Newbies:

Python also offers beginner-friendly integrated development environments (IDEs) like IDLE and user-friendly code editors like Visual Studio Code. These tools are designed to make the coding process simpler and less intimidating for beginners, much like having training wheels on your first bicycle.

9. Learning by Doing:

Python strongly encourages hands-on learning. It's similar to learning to cook by actually cooking. With Python, you can start writing and executing code right away, gaining practical experience that accelerates your progress.

10. The Power of Practice:

While Python's simplicity is a significant advantage for beginners, mastering any programming language still requires practice. It's comparable to learning to play a musical instrument. You might hit a few wrong notes at first, but with practice, you'll play beautiful music.

In summary, Python is not tough to learn, especially for beginners.
