THE FUTURE RELEASE DATE

[outofcontext-lpotl]

Ben: We talk a lot about growing up and some of the things we did, the drinking and the driving, the doing drugs, all those things, and what is privilege? Privilege is having those be stories, good memories, and not being privileged is having that be a sentence, so you have to look and be sentenced 25 years an extended period of time, and once you’re in the system-

Henry: Or you get shot!

Ben: -It’s hard to get out.

Both the primeminister and the queen spoke to the people last night, though they had very different tones. People have been overall understanding of the situation and the steps they’ve had to take, and have started referring to the two of them as The Legends

Welp, time to slather up some cruncy peanutbutter on ALL my damn words, because I am EATING THEM!!!

“Miguel mi reputación es… muy importante para mí, no me agradaría que pensaras…”

[anemoiarts]

I remember sitting in the theater for the first time, watching this scene. Watching the charm melt away from Ernesto’s eyes. It was replaced with paranoia. Suspicion. He immediately changed. 

A pit formed in my stomach - I was afraid of the man. I knew what he did. I didn’t want to believe it, but my teeth were grinding and my breath was caught. I was afraid right alongside Miguel. I wasn’t sure what Ernesto would do next, but I knew that he was despicable. The perfect kind of despicable that makes your insides squirm and your jaw clench. I wasn’t in any danger, granted - but the look in his eyes made me tremble in my seat.

What an incredible character.

[eccentriccalabash]

Can’t believe no one has commented this but his eyes go from bright and expressive to just... dead. Soulless even. It is the first time in the movie about happy colourful skeletons that I was actually geniuenly creeped out.

Character development done correctly.

[libertarirynn-deactivated202006]

Why?? Can’t more shows?? Do this?? Right??

[saint-ambrosef]

a:tla was the ultimate kids show because the writers didn’t approach it with the attitude of “they’re kid, they won’t recognize crappy writing”

[thehmn]

Older drawings inspired by the band Nephew’s relationship songs. They never make love songs, but rather songs about weird or flawed romantic/sexual relationships between people.

Cigaret Kid (Mostly in Danish with a bit of English) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2-VNzVV3vQ A middle aged man meets a young guy whom he spends a few fun days with until he realize the guy is on the run from someone called Yamaha Boy. He tries to ditch Cigaret Kid but for some reason can’t, so they go on the run together. Eventually the middle aged guy suggest they just kill Yamaha Boy and the rest of the story is unknown.

Gå Med Dig (Go Away) (All Danish) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uabDFDmxaNk About a man and a woman who hate each other after spending too many years together, but doesn’t know how to live separately either. They’re both emotionally abusive towards each other, but in addition the woman is also physically abusive.

Va fangool! (Part English, part Danish) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24lCTYQ-N-A A rich and powerful man sits in a bar when a mafia boss starts hitting on him. At first the man tries to brush him off, but as they starts talking he realize the mafia boss is the only other person he has ever met who understands the loneliness that comes with power, so they start a relationship despite the man knowing it will get him in trouble.

Blå & Black (Blue & Black) (Mostly Danish) A woman wants to commit suicide so her husband keeps hurting himself so she’ll nurse him back to health and have a reason to live for a few more days. He knows she’s unsatisfied with her current life, so to help her he burns down their neighborhood, including their children.

The Way I Are (All English) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioSnhZoqzEU A remix of “The Way I Am” by Timberland which gives it a whole new meaning. It’s mixed with another Nephew song about Denmark’s desire to be loved by USA to the point of getting their own soldiers killed in American wars. Mixed with “The Way I Am” it becomes a song about a Scandinavian man who has fallen in love with an American couple and begs them to let him be part of their relationship. “Love me the Scandinavian way I are” here means “I will do anything for you, and you can do anything you want with me, as long as you love me”

(Sorry, I’ll figure out how to make links later)

i just got this wrong number text and was like “that can’t possible be a real name” and i googled it and was led to bobbi babalooney’s website which autoplays the single best and most ridiculous jingle i have ever heard and it drove me to actual tears please go listen to it and have your whole life changed by bobbi babalooney’s hype man

[rubyredbonnetblue]

please do it

[timhortons]

i hope youre all lying and hyping your cv/resume’s up

[timhortons]

i have never gotten an interview and not been offered a job position after it

[timhortons]

I mean lets be honest if everyone else is gassing theirs up like no tomorrow and you’re being as honest as you can who th are the recruitment team going to be more interested in

[timhortons]

There’s people working in my banks head office with me WITH MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE than me BUT ARE GETTING PAID LESS

[timhortons]

we’re doing the exact same job role

[timhortons]

the point I’m trying to make here is if you’ve handled finances for a company you’re now what i would call a treasurer my g, if you’ve done admin work you are now a secretary (or as I’ve put Management secretary)

[timhortons]

you help some kid with his homework? you’re a private tutor.

keep your bullets points for the job role as concise and important sounding as possible AND ALWAYS EMPHASIS THAT YOURE A TEAM PLAYER IF YOURE GOING TO WORK IN A TEAM.

[timhortons]

go into that interview room and get your story straight the night before and remember that interviews are two way conversatons yes they might be grilling you but at the end of it make sure to grill them BACK. do you have any hesitations about my qualifications? my suitability for the job? any feedback on my cv? how long have you been working at this company? do you like it here? whats the work environment like?

I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GET THE SAME FEEDBACK WHEN THEY GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH ME

“ive never been asked those questions before” / “you were one of the strongest candidates”

[timhortons]

throughout the interview emphasise that youre about progression, that you want more responsibilities than you did at your previous job, tell them the hours here are more suitable for me than my last ones were, AND WHEN IT COMES TO SALARY NEGOTIATION its all about continuity. tell them again that it boils down to progression. make up a reasonable figure for how much you were paid in your last role (do your research for how much the industry youre applying to or the role youre applying for pays, base it on that) tell them you expect more than you were previously paid. do not give them a figure. progression is your primary focus, tell them if youre progressing youre happy. leave it at that.

[timhortons]

LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH AND GET THAT MONEY

[infiniteglitterfall]

I had an interview yesterday, at the place I’ve been temping, where I busted out the “is there anything about my skills or background that makes you concerned about my fit for this job” question for the first time.

Neither of my supervisors had never gotten it before either. They had to think for a while, and then it turned into them telling me how great I am and what they love about me.

This stuff is real. I would also say: none of it is lying. This is taking experience that you normally downplay and write off, and putting it in accurate words they’ll understand.

It’s hacking the capitalist system. Why ISN’T helping a kid with homework “tutoring”, when the only thing missing is a paycheck?

It’s especially important for anyone who isn’t a cis white man, because many of us are so thoroughly trained to feel like we are not good enough.

Privilege tells people they can fake it, and that they’re good enough just as people and can learn the skills on the job. Abuse and oppression tell people they aren’t good enough as people and that even their high skills are probably below average, and that unless they had the specific job title or were using certain skills officially, nobody will think it counts.

The goal is to at least fake the confidence of a privileged person, to give the employer a chance at seeing the skills that you’ve been trained to undervalue.
