week of september 8, 2024

because of a city-wide power surge i was kept at work until nearly 6:00am tuesday. that coupled with a general trend of me being kept increasingly late and my heavy course load has made for a hectic first few weeks of fall semester. on the bright side, i had an appointment with my psych and i'll be starting a new routine with my meds that i hope will stave off my executive dysfunction when it's time to do homework.

in other news, my boyfriend's birthday is next week, so i'm making plans for us to spend a day at the zoo! i haven't decided what kind of cake i want to bake for the occasion, but knowing him, he'll be happy with anything. quality time with loved ones is just the thing i need to recharge.

current class readings:

The Bluest Eye - Toni Morrison

Devotions upon Emergent Occasions - John Donne

selected readings from Michel Foucault's work

Life Among the Piutes - Sarah Winnemucca

to-do

ASL - units 1.4-1.5

BWN - start essay 1

QT - weekly writing 5

PL - start writing exercise 1

CTM - brainstorm for essay 1 and choose topic

Saw a post about helping people that used the analogy of "if you see someone fall off a cruiseship and theres a life preserver ring on the wall next to you do you walk away or do you throw them the life preserver? Of course you throw them the life preserver." And i dont want to add to or tag the post with any sort of correction because its literally not the point at all but i am desperate to say that the first thing they teach you when you work on a cruise ship is that if someone falls overboard you Do Not Look Away

If theres a life preserver nearby but you have to turn your back to get it, tough luck. If theres someone nearby who can't hear you but you could run and get them, absolutely not. You see someone go overboard you point at them and never ever let them out of your sight because looking away even once could mean losing them forever, so you just have to trust that someone will hear you scream for help but you cant for any reason look away

And maybe that adds to the life preserver metaphor somehow but mostly i just need you to know if you spot someone in the water you point at them and you watch them close and you scream for help

#water safety tips with grinchwrapsupreme #what could the metaphor be #um #if you see someone struggling and they are seconds from 'drowning' make sure theyre not going to go under before working on a rescue plan?#idk #point and stare and scream babes thats the key

I think my copy of the game is broken they've been doing this for 30 minutes

Crop of the Biolizard edit I did bc it makes me laugh:

#art #sonic the hedgehog #sonic #shadow the hedgehog #rouge the bat #their dynamic is so funny to me like hello what episode of Untucked is this #I am rotating them in a 2 bed 1 bath apartment in my mind #Also very proud of how this turned out I think I'm finally finding a comic rendering style that doesn't make me want to rip my hair out #Simplify baybee it's a comic not an illustration you can get a little crazy with it #Spoiler alert. Getting looser with lineart and better at colour schemes and simplifying shading. Is good actually.#It's so much easier to eyeball what a colour would look like in a setting instead of colourpicking the OG palette and struggling with...#...like 9 overlay and multiply and soft/hard light layers #Approximating colour genuinely looks better than forcing local colour into the piece. As long as the values are still there it works out #comic

October 2, 2024 - Over 1,000 Samsung workers in Chennai, India, have been on strike for four weeks, making it India’s biggest strike in recent years. The protests have disrupted production at the factory, which employs 1800 people and contributed a fifth of Samsung’s $12 billion revenue in India last year.

The striking workers are demanding recognition of their union, CITU, and a wage increase. The average salary for the Samsung workers is currently about $300 a month. [video]

The way the everyone talks about Assad is truly hilarious to me. Rolin Jones keeps throwing him into the deep end just because he believes in his ability. Eric and Luke agree that Assad is soooo nice and sweet but gets scary as fuck when he gets in-front of that camera. Sam saying watching him perform is "spine tingling".

And then you hear from Assad and he's just all "I was shitting myself the entire time, idk what I'm doing"

#interview with the vampire #assad zaman #iwtv #the vampire armand #char.txt #was laughing the other day of a clip of jacob talking abt the murder mansion scene and how he kept flinching and jumping at the chaos #and Assad was so unbothered- which is funny cuz in a different interview assad said he struggled sm to focus and lock in during that scene #i need him to realize hes amazing but until then i will accept absolutely everyone else praising his work
