#where can I apply for this job

[luna-loveboop]

Had the dumbest conversation with my sister and it reminded me of these two. Sending a resume including SCUBA ocean diving certifications without context while applying for a job seems like something Wind would do.

i got an email today from my uni that was sent to all students from the faculty i'm in and it's a job offer for a project from the uni's school museum where they catalogue and analyze old school note/exercise books from 1820-1950s and...idk i should probably apply right??? They're not even asking for a CV (mine would be empty), how often do you get that lmao. And it's only 6 hours a week, starting this October and the project is supposed to last 3 months and there is a possibilty of the museum hiring you for longer. And i mean, if it sucks i guess i can push through the 3 months? should i do it ahhhh my panic brain is screaming but it's not often that there is a job offer that is that nice

one thing I have learned about being poor is that you cannot for a moment stop thinking about it

Other people have discussed this more eloquently, but the thing people don't always seem to get about "passing" (think "cis passing" or "straight passing", for instance) is that the concept of "passing" relies on more than just appearance.

Take me for instance, where I do pass as a man, but I have never (and will never) pass as a cishet man. People know I am queer, even if they don't see that I am a trans queer man. Passing is more than wearing certain things or saying certain things. My mannerisms are queer, my speech is queer, my inflection is queer, my stance is queer. People pick up on that. There's nothing wrong with me being seen as queer, but I'm still treated like a queer man, for better and worse. It seems that people forget that, you know?

My point is that passing is very conplex, nuanced, and individual. I use myself as an example, but that by no means indicates that I have a standard experience. I've noticed, however, that many people have over-generalized these conversations, and I think that doesn't do us - as a community - a service.

This is gonna sound beyond weird, and it's gonna be egg on my face if the show doesn't go in the direction that I think it will with Vox but...

Is it just me or are there several paralells between Vox and Angel?

think cannibalism should be a thing in menzoberranzan actually, or maybe it is and I haven’t known about it, but it should be a thing amongst the nobles where they eat rival lolth priestesses since they’re lolth’s fave sacrifices anyway. like if we’re all constantly vying for lolth’s approval, and you have these people who actually has her blessing (which is rare) why not….eat them….😳. like eating the priestess of a rival house would be a ritual after you’ve succeeded in bringing their house down as a way to consume lolth’s blessing, and its def an intimidation tactic and def one of the plenty weird shit nobles have done for the sake of playing their power games. maybe they eat males who are in power too if they’ve overstepped their position to remind them of their place in the hierarchy, or maybe matriarchs/nobles eat their favourite bed mate/partner so no one else can have them, kind of like actual spiders. anyway. if menzoberranzan is this immoral lethal and ruthless place cannibalism should def be a thing lol

endlessly funny how many cop shows revolve around a Little Weirdo That Can Solve Crimes Better Than The Cops. indicative of a wider understanding, even from people who like cops, that there is usually someone else who can do their job better than them

What Are your thoughts on cinna

***ALL OF THIS ANSWER IS PREDICATED ON BOOK 1. IF THIS IS ADDRESSED IN LATER BOOKS I WOULD BE THRILLED.***

cinna's job, his literal livelihood as presented in these novels, is packaging and selling children up to a live audience for eventual slaughter. it is horrifying. he is complicit, perhaps the most complicit a person could be, in all the exploitation that occurs. this at bare minimum should make him misguided, at worst horrifically sinister. he is not presented as either.

as of right now, he is being presented as a complete good guy. katniss is pleased and flattered by the nice clothes he dresses her in, his "girl on fire" image is treated as a gift because it gives her an edge, and his attempts to provide emotional comfort seem to be very genuine. katniss is not made uncomfortable by his efforts to package her into a palatable concept - she is glad that he is nice to her.

in a subtler work, I would take this to mean that katniss has been taken in by his outward image and is blind to the ways that he is using her to further his career. but the hunger games is incredibly unsubtle when katniss' viewpoint is meant to be unreliable, and the rest of the time, her viewpoint is always confirmed to be 100% factual even in situations where that makes no sense. it is not a work that hides it when a character is meant to be sinister. which is fine, because this is a story for middle schoolers. but it ruins a lot of the story's alleged societal critique if cinna is never treated as even remotely culpable for his role in the games. I don't have much faith in the story's ability to reckon with that, considering how many other interesting moral dilemmas the book tends to gloss over.

Marketing is in many ways the biggest translation of my skills and interests to a job that actually makes money. However I hate corporations and advertising is a blight upon the world and I spend my days at best making the CEO rich while contributing nothing else to society
