#how to get a first client

[in-tua-deep]

I’ve seen critique of the way show!murderbot said it felt good after killing leebeebee (thank goodness, I really disliked her - though at the same time I actually think that it’s interesting for the preservation team to have someone very blatantly objectify murderbot right in front of them and show them how other humans likely treated it)

but,, I didn’t really read it as it feeling good about killing someone so much as feeling good that it has made the team realize that it isn’t some little robot that wants to be human, and it doesn’t want to be assimilated into their group because it isn’t human. It’s a construct. They cannot and should not assume that it wants to be like them - it shouldn’t have to change or be human to be accepted

So I thought it was more of a “it feels good that this is making them rethink their little uwu poor little meow meow narrative when that’s kind of condescending and I am way more familiar with how fucked up my situation is than they are?”

Idk, any thoughts?

POV: You just got apprehended by your own lawyer.

Chimmy Changa spent his early years as a Public Defense Lawyer. He had to get really into shape because. For some reason. He kept getting clients who'd bolt from the court room.

I finally finished my buni doll! he's taller than my arm and pretty hefty. it was my first time embroidering, wire armateuring, using this specific pattern making process, etc.... so I think he turned out better than I ever expected lol!

he's mostly posable tho the wire I had access to isn't strong enough to combat the minky. live and learn 🤷‍♂️

*& dr pepper for scale LOL

As I suspected, the final two units of my scoping course, which are both about the business side of things, are going much more quickly than the previous one. All they entail are reading a page of material, sometimes doing a bit of research or looking at some example documents, and then doing a self-graded quiz for reading comprehension, and then there's a test at the end of each unit.

So I've finished all the lessons from the first of the two units already. Because I'm weird, and because (unlike the rest of the course) I can see all the material for both units at the same time, I've decided to do all of the lessons for both units, and then I'll knock out the tests (one of which looks like it'll require me to actually have some forms and For Real information ready to go, so...guess that's when I'll do that). There's a lot of overlap in these lessons (personally, I think they should have just consolidated it all into one unit), and...well, to be perfectly honest, it's all kind of terrifying, and this is my way of staving off the inevitable (つ﹏⊂)

The more I read and the more lessons I complete, the closer I get to actually doing this for real...and suddenly this thing I've been working towards and dreaming about for years feels too close. And impostor syndrome is rearing its ugly head too. Like...what on earth am I doing, researching what paperwork I'll need to fill out to register a sole proprietorship for my business? How am I, of all people, expected to call clients on the phone and send them invoices?

This all feels very fake. And scary. So I'm kind of aggressively staring down at my feet as I take one step forward at a time, refusing to look up at the big picture, because if I do I think I'll cry.

I wish cats were like dogs where you could take them to a cat park or kitty daycare or on a playdate and let them run around with other hyper energetic kittens for several hours and then you bring them back home and they're so played out that they're just chill the rest of the day. Astrid is in her preteen phase now and she has the most violent destructive zoomies of any cat I've ever seen. Our older male cat can't keep up with her when she really wants to play and neither can we. I just played with her until she flopped from exhaustion TWICE a few hours ago and she's already jetting around at near light speed knocking shit off every horizontal surface and doing kickflips off of us with her claws out again

realizing i've given myself a 12-hr school day twice a week ... well it's the last semester!

HELL YEAH. I frickin love every time Van Zieks throws his weight around in pursuit of the truth. This is definitely gonna have negative consequences for him in the future. Frankly, I think if he pushes too far he's going to get framed/arrested for being the Reaper and we'll have to defend him (against Kazuma? and with Stronghart being the actual villain?) (feels like a final case) (aaaagh now that I've said it I'm very stressed because I can definitely see it building to that and if it does it's gonna be A LOT). But this is the best thing about him. For all his prejudice, he has very firm principles and sticks to them. It's not even a surprise anymore, since he's done this several times, though never quite against direct orders... but it never stops being awesome.

Another baller quote.

The fact there are many folks who are just beyond weak at working at the healthcare field, specifically based on instructing + looking after group home disabled residents. It's so heartbreaking and frustrating hearing my coworkers complain about certain clients or say anything negative regarding them, such as how they're annoying or they, the coworker, just want to hit them. Yes, some folks have certain behaviours and mannerisms and mindsets that one may not personally enjoy or feel comfortable, but they are still humans ( or whatever they wish to identify as ) with real thoughts and emotions in the end. As long as they're not saying or doing genuine harm to others and / or themselves that must be changed to healthier forms of attitudes, why should the disabled clients have to be seen as being lesser than us, the staffs in which some aren't any better for treating and seeing the clients like burdens.

as much as i am so so so ready to be done with this job, it still brings me such joy when i get repeat clients—and ive had multiple now say that other editors they spoke with or tried out were nowhere near as good at their jobs as me and it’s just a happy !!! kinda rush

[odysseys-blood]

o ya i dont think anyone would be alarmed but i turned off rbs for my comms post 👍🏽 dont see a need for it to keep going around if im neither getting work nor donos so its just been getting on my nerves seeing it pop up in my notifs which is no one's fault but we'll try again later.

tagged by @vvindication (thank you!!)

rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. tag as many people as you have wips. people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!

oh god this is putting me on BLAST. but i DID finish two large things last week (the animatic and a mural i'll post when i get the go-ahead) so none of these are huge projects or anything

counting digital and traditional wips here and bc of how i organize stuff i'm gonna be referring to these with my mental names for them rather than intended titles or file names yeehaw

ugh i’m so far removed from anything even resembling a broadway fandom at this point but i need to know…why do we feel icky listening to laura osnes?

Ooooh Laura Osnes lol (also know I spent like thirty minutes looking for these screenshots lmfao)

For me I already had some weird vibes after seeing her in Broadway princess party in 2018 (went mainly for her and left a bigger fan of pretty much everyone else? She just seemed very inauthentic in some way) but the bigger thing was with covid vaccinations.

Basically there was some big backlash when an article was published about her not being allowed to perform in something because she wasn’t covid vaccinated. I don’t know what the article said exactly because I only saw it through her response, I think, but it basically was something about her being rude or upset or whatever because she had to be vaccinated (if anyone knows that part feel free to jump in).

At the end of 2022 (at least in interviews, maybe it was sooner if you still followed her) she started talking about cancel culture and how this basically ended her Broadway career.

The vaccination stuff then revealed other beliefs, like her being pro-guns.

So yeah, since then it just has tainted some of my enjoyment of these songs I really love. I’ll leave some other things in the tags that are more my personal feelings, but that’s the gist.

i absolutely love what their dynamic turned into in the show but whenever i watch the sf pilot im reminded of how much i love the way charlie just kinda slugs on behind pim and lets him do his thing and the only time in the episode he really gets his own moment he has no idea what to say to desmond and can only say they’ve failed. like i love the side of charlie that can be like overly passionate and kinda unapologetic and the way there’s nothing that can change his mind when he’s set on something and i dont even want it to be changed back to that but man . i just love it
