“You had a dog, Aunt Zee. A familiar named Vinegar Tom. He was a wise beagle.
You called him your soul mate. You loved him so much that after he died, you had him stuffed. And you pet him every day. And sometimes, the fact that he’s gone makes you cry.”
I wish I took a better pic of this writing in a bar bathroom in toronto bc I think of it so often. Be So Completely Yourself That No One Is Attracted To You Or Wants To Employ You
Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.
…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
Every time an author reassures readers that the smut is skippable I sigh a disappointed sigh. This is not a reassurance. Why would anybody who likes smut want to read smut that was only included as an afterthought and has no impact on the narrative? Insulting. Just don't write it at all if you're not going to make it matter.
it’s so special to me that so much of fan culture is textual analysis for the love of the game. like thank god there are people in my phone who are also thinking about this thing i love so much that they are writing transformative fiction as character studies and setting clips of the show to music with theme-relevant lyrics and writing long text posts analyzing every line of dialogue like!! yay!!!
Acting isn't practicing medicine, but for 'The Pitt's' Isa Briones, Supriya Ganesh and Sepideh Moafi, the challenges women of color face in
On Sexism in Healthcare, the Entertainment Industry, and The Pitt
“'The [hospital] system feels like it’s 15, 20 years behind other industries,' says Sepideh Moafi ... 'There is still this older culture of a boundaryless style of work where there’s a lack of understanding and compassion,' with respect to pregnancy and childcare, for working women ...
'We have a female, half-Asian doctor on our set who consistently says that people talk to the nurse in the room if they’re a white man instead of her,' adds Supriya Ganesh ...
Nor is the series reluctant to show the other side of the dynamic, as doctors Robinavitch and Langdon lash out against their colleagues in lieu of acknowledging their own flaws ...
'The entertainment business constantly feels like a boys’ club that you cannot penetrate no matter what you do, because it’s still always going to be these older white men who are making all the decisions,' [Isa Briones] says. 'That’s why seeing the storyline with Langdon and Robby informed my performance so much, because I know this feeling of being like, Why the f— are these men fist-bumping each other? I’m also here! I’m doing my job too!'”
On Showcasing Linguistic Diversity
“'Language shapes who you are, how you see the world,' Moafi says... 'Language connects you to different registers in the body. The rhythms are different, and the emotional access is more immediate' ...
Briones advocated for the [Hiligaynon lullaby] scene not to have subtitles: 'It should be just this quiet moment that you don’t have to understand the language to understand, but also it’s a great moment for people who do speak it to feel that little secret joy' ...
[Ganesh] chose to infuse her own heritage into the character, who uses Tamil as a way to feel connected to her late father. 'She chooses to speak it with her mom, because maybe that’s the only other person she has in her life who she can speak it to,' [she] explains ...
That part of Indian American culture will be lost next season, with Ganesh officially departing at the end of Season 2.”
On Supriya Mohan Being Written Off
“[Ganesh] reiterates that the 'creative decision' to write Mohan off was made by executive producers Gemmill, Wyle, and John Wells: 'They work with such intention on the show and make all the choices that they make for that reason, so I think it’s better to ask them for answers.'
'It’s been so great just getting all the love from the fans. I feel sad for them, too, that they won’t get to see this character.'
For her part, Moafi believes that Dr. Mohan will be remembered for the way 'she won’t compromise humanity in how she delivers care. The power of strength comes from vulnerability, and in order to go fast, you have to slow down,' she adds. 'That’s something that is so ingrained in us, as women.'”
