Drawlloween! But the first prompt is just sort of generally spooky so obvs I drew Kamonwon as a magnificent flesh monster pile. Because why wouldn’t I?

what if we kissed but you and I were both different versions of the same woman and I was the part of her that allowed her to leave her abusive husband and pursue a life for herself and you were the part that took care of her and together we fought to defeat the deranged toxic femininity that plagues her mind and drags her back to where she was trapped and we were played by Matthew Arnold and Beth May

haha jk unless??

Two job-hunting resources that changed my life:

This cover letter post on askamanger.com. A job interview guide written by Alison Green, who runs askamanager.

[curliestofcrowns]

useful

[blownfromthesunintothesurf-blog]

Alison Green’s advice works. 

[sw-or-gtfo-deactivated20211219]

Alison Green got me all my interviews from 2012 onward, I am reasonably sure.

[vanitycats-deactivated20170527]

Alison Green is basically my life guide.

[intentandinvention]

Mine too - she was my most visited website for the first few years of my working career, and I cannot emphasise enough how much her advice helped me navigate how to behave in a work environment. You name it, she has an answer for it. Definitely a life hack.

[thelawfulchaotic]

I used her advice and on my current job I got a callback with an offer literally five minutes after we finished the interview.

[thelawfulchaotic]

Actually, I shouldn’t skip the most important bit: I fucked the interview up. I was interviewing at a couple public defender’s offices in the area I wanted to move, and the others were by Zoom first then in person.

I assumed this one was by Zoom. Then I was in court when my Apple watch said “hey bitch you better start driving” and I realized to my dawning horror that it was in-person.

I immediately texted and emailed the head of that office, even though what I wanted to do was crawl into the tunnel under the courthouse and die. Something along the lines of “Hi! This is completely my bad. I assumed x and the interview is y. I’m stuck in court and y is not possible today. Can we move the interview to Zoom? Alternatively, I am available to come down tomorrow or Monday.”

Within 20 minutes, she got back to me and said that this was the tail end of interviews, she knows how court is, can’t wait until Monday, here’s a Zoom link.

I did the Zoom interview and as I was leaving the office right after (to crawl into the tunnel under the courthouse and die) I got a call saying I was hired.

Fuck-ups are NOT the end of the world. She says it in that interview guide, not in those words exactly. If you can handle a fuck-up with quick remedial action, perhaps while dead in a tunnel under a courthouse, and be graceful and flexible, it shows how you act under pressure. It shows courtesy and problem-solving skills.

My message included the following important elements:

1 - I took responsibility.

2 - I demonstrated priorities commensurate with the job. (Court appearance for client very important!!)

3 - I offered two alternative options for achieving the goal (Have Interview) while respecting her priorities (timeline vs. in-person).

4 - I said thank you.

(I really encourage you not to ChatGPT this shit because the ability to do this verbally and in the moment is an extremely good professional skill and requires a bit of practice.)

75% of writing is convincing yourself that your story is worth it

[windwardstar]

It is. In case you were wondering. Your story is worth the effort you are putting into it. It’s an amazing thing because you are writing it.

the funny thing is that i don't think younger people - and i mean those under the age of 40 - really have a grasp on how many of today's issues can be tied back to a disastrous reagan policy:

war on drugs: reagan's aggressive escalation of the war on drugs was a catastrophic policy, primarily targeting minority communities and fueling mass incarceration. the crusade against drugs was more about controlling the Black, Latino and Native communities than addressing the actual problems of drug abuse, leading to a legacy of broken families and systemic racism within the criminal justice system.

deregulation and economic policies: reaganomics was an absolute disaster for the working class. reagan's policies of aggressive tax cuts for the rich, deregulation, and slashing social programs were nothing less than class warfare, deepening income inequality and entrenching corporate greed. these types of policies were a clear message that reagan's america was only for the wealthy elite and a loud "fuck you" to working americans.

environmental policies: despite his reputation being whitewashed thanks to the recovery of the ozone layer, reagan's environmental record was an unmitigated disaster. his administration gutted critical environmental protections and institutions like the EPA, turning a blind eye to pollution and corporate exploitation of natural resources. this blatant disregard for the planet was a clear sign of prioritizing short-term corporate profits over the future of the environment.

AIDS crisis: reagan's gross neglect of the aids crisis was nothing short of criminal and this doesn't even begin to touch on his wife's involvement. his administration's indifference to the plight of the lgbtq+ community during this devastating epidemic revealed a deep-seated bigotry and a complete failure of moral leadership.

mental health: reagan's dismantling of mental health institutions under the guise of 'reform' led directly to a surge in homelessness and a lack of support for those with mental health issues. his policies were cruel and inhumane and showed a personality-defining callous disregard for the most vulnerable in society.

labor and unions: reagan's attack on labor unions, exemplified by his handling of the patco strike, was a blatant assault on workers' rights. his actions emboldened corporations to suppress union activities, leading to a significant erosion of workers' power and rights in the workplace. he was colloquially known as "Ronnie the Union Buster Reagan"

foreign policy and military interventions: reagan's foreign policy, particularly in latin america, was imperialist and ruthless. his administration's support for dictatorships and right-wing death squads under the guise of fighting "communism" showed a complete disregard for human rights and self-determination of other nations.

public health: yes, reagan's agricultural policies actually facilitated the rise of high fructose corn syrup, once again prioritizing corporate profits over public health. this shift in the food industry has had lasting negative impacts on health, contributing to the obesity epidemic and other health issues.

privatization: reagan's push for privatization was a systematic dismantling of public services, transferring wealth and power to private corporations and further eroding the public's access to essential services.

education policies: his approach to education was more of an attack on public education than anything else, gutting funding and promoting policies that undermined equal access to quality education. this was, again, part of a broader agenda to maintain a status quo where the privileged remain in power.

this is just what i could come up with in a relatively short time and i did not even live under this man's presidency. the level at which ronald reagan has broken the united states truly can't be overstated.

[wilwheaton]

I do not believe in Hell, but I will make an exception for Reagan.

[spicymotte]

I do love the monsterfucking & romance genre so so much, but I refuse to get into the monster shifting bullshit.
