I'm Celia and one time at the Edmonton Valley Zoo an owl winked at me. She/her. I have a lot of sideblogs so if you see a blog with an owl icon and no name listed it’s probably me. Icon by Jessica Mingo. 25 y/o

I really appreciate Jon Hamm for single-handedly proving that you can be a great actor with a great voice and also be absolutely terrible at voiceover. Really brings attention to the specific craft that is voiceover work.

It’s always worth taking a sec to check whether there are any comments or reblogs on the post that answer your question! I did indeed follow up about the mistake in a reblog

[boringkate]

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.

Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.

I've been seeing a lot of posts lately that tell dropouts "you can always go back!"

And that's not bad! It's true for a lot of people! You CAN go back later! You can apply to university, you can get your GED, you can pursue whatever level of education you want. It's not bad to share that message. If you dropped out and want to go back eventually, there is zero timeline. You can go back at any age, with any life experience. You do not have to graduate by a specific age.

But as someone who dropped out of college over a decade ago, sometimes "you can always go back!" starts to feel a little like an empty platitude. Sometimes it starts to feel grating instead of hopeful. Even when it might technically be true, sometimes it still feels like a hollow sentiment.

I just want to say, to anyone else out there who feels that way, who dropped out and CAN'T go back, potentially EVER, whether it's due to poverty or disability or any other reason:

It's okay to drop out and never go back. It might feel shitty, and you may even feel grief over it. That's real, and painful, and allowed. But you are not lesser. Even if you never go back, you are not a failure or a loser. Academics do not define your worth. You are not stupid. And it is almost certain that the system actually failed YOU.

With love,

A fellow burnout

A couple people have reblogged this with the comment that it's also okay to be totally confident in the decision to drop out, and to not grieve about it at all. And you know what? Yeah! They're right!

I personally still deal with a lot of grief about how my university career ended, but that's just one experience. I know other people with zero regrets, who talk openly about the ways that dropping out literally saved their lives. Life throws nasty curveballs sometimes.

So, to everyone who dropped out, for whatever reason, and however you feel about it: the educational system is a fucking minefield, but academics don't define your worth, and sometimes dropping out is the only option. Rock on.

on one hand it's fine and even good to self-efface and have a little humour about oneself and one's beliefs, fuck knows i certainly do--but it does bother me a little when people joke about how they're being a "joyless marxist" or "the friend that's too woke", it feels like such a capitulation to always be preemptively apologizing for expressing progressive political positions

[guelwaar]

like in general making care work dependent on sentimentality is a fucking bad idea lol, to some extent you can't really prevent the fact that people interacting with one another will probably feel some type of way about each other but esp when you are taking on a role where people depend on you for basic bodily care tasks, necessary medications, proper performance of potentially dangerous procedures &c it's not actually about YOU or your feelings at all & the more you make it into that type of ego trip looking for self satisfaction because youre soooooo self sacrificing and empathetic and you love your patients sooooooooo much -- the less you actually see & think about & serve those patients. never confuse personal fondness for evidence you are doing right by that person -- completely irrelevant & not at all protective against or mutually exclusive of abuse. people who are disliked or dislikable also need care! you signed up to provide it to them. if you cannot do bear to do that and do it fucking well then find a different job

Feeling like this rn for real

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Around mid-february I quit my job to take another offer I got from a language academy, which was closer to home and offered me better benefits. I got a six-month trial period contract with them, after which I'd be hired for real as an actual employee and not a contractor.

Last friday I came into work just to get told that they were terminating my trial contract, supposedly not because of anything to do with my performance but because HR decided that, with the current number of students enrolled, they didn't have the demand for so many teachers in the afternoon shift.

So I was employed there for less than a month and I can't go back to my old job and I genuinely don't know what to do with my life now.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

I'm not even posting this to ask for money I just genuinely don't know what I'm gonna do now, I've been applying to jobs like crazy. I feel like if things don't improve I'm gonna end up picking up a shit job as a bilingual call center operator which will turn me into the joker after a couple weeks of getting yelled at by middle aged gringos for having an accent.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Me rn

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Okay I'm finally starting a new job on monday, for an american outsourcing contractor that rents third-world workers out to different companies as spanish-english interpreters. The pay's kinda shitty for such a demanding job and it offers 0 benefits but that's like par for the course as far as american companies that outsource labor to the global south go and atp I'll have to take what I can get.

Thing is if I start monday I won't be getting paid until the end of May, and at that point I will have been unemployed for two months and a half, so money's starting to get short, so I just need some help to make it until then. So like. just in case anyone can help me out.

one american thing that confuses me are college application letters. why do you need to write yourself a tragic backstory to go to university, don't you have standardized exams? who's reading through all these bad high schooler essays?

[letatlin]

as opposed to someone's essay they wrote when they were 16, which is a permanent immutable window to their soul,
