Welp, just realized 14-year-old me was silly and used her high school email address for Tumblr.
Idk how Iām still here given I graduated high school years ago and cannot for the life of me remember a password I would have come up with back in the day.
Perhaps it is the universe telling me it is time to move away from this period in my life.
Anywho I made a new account (rekt-by-hubris).
lord the women you put on earth to enjoy media are being forced to log in to outlook and microsoft teams

i hope youre all lying and hyping your cv/resumeās up
i have never gotten an interview and not been offered a job position after it
I mean lets be honest if everyone else is gassing theirs up like no tomorrow and youāre being as honest as you can who th are the recruitment team going to be more interested in
Thereās people working in my banks head office with me WITH MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE than me BUT ARE GETTING PAID LESS
weāre doing the exact same job role
the point Iām trying to make here is if youāve handled finances for a company youāre now what i would call a treasurer my g, if youāve done admin work you are now a secretary (or as Iāve put Management secretary)
you help some kid with his homework? youāre 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.
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
āive never been asked those questions beforeā / āyou were one of the strongest candidatesā
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.
LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH AND GET THAT MONEY
I had an interview yesterday, at the place Iāve been temping, where I busted out the āis there anything about my skills or background that makes you concerned about my fit for this jobā 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 theyāll understand.
Itās hacking the capitalist system. Why ISNāT helping a kid with homework ātutoringā, when the only thing missing is a paycheck?
Itās especially important for anyone who isnāt 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 theyāre good enough just as people and can learn the skills on the job. Abuse and oppression tell people they arenāt 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 youāve been trained to undervalue.
I would also say to answer any query ofĀ āHave you done [X small task] before?ā withĀ āI have, but itās been a while.ā Or,Ā āI have, but it was a slightly different program.ā
100% THEY WILL GLADLY WALK YOU THROUGH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW, and I stressĀ āgladlyā because claiming prior knowledge boosts their confidence in your abilities and any slips you make are already covered by your caveat.Ā
blackstoic may have deactivated their account but this advice is fucking gold and all yāall looking for jobs or who think you might one day need to look for a new job PRINT THIS SHIT OUT AND STAPLE IT TO THE WALL.Ā
Okay, Iām sure many of you currently on a Dracula Daily kick have heard this, but if not, I wanted to share.

Itās still stupid but it worksheet
Wait wait wait yāall this is a thing.
Superstition has totally been observed in animals before. B. F. Skinner (operant conditioning guy) would randomly feed pigeons after a time with no food, and occasionally this feeding would occur while the pigeons were doing some random activity, like spinning around. They would then connect the two events together (spinning around and getting food) and begin spinning around whenever they wanted food. Sometimes it didnāt work, but whenever it did, it would just reinforce the behavior even more!
This cat looks to be getting tons of reinforcement, so I wouldnāt be surprised if itās sustained for a while (at least until they find another way that also works or it continually stops working).
This is also an adorable behavior to have been reinforced
i hear a good lyric and start mentally holding up blorbos like im in the home depot paint aisle comparing swatches
"ingredients you can pronounce!!!" actually i'm great at phonics and i love eating chemicals
love to watch horror movies like thatāll never happen to me iāve never answered a phone call and i donāt have sex
my opinion on quantum physics is that we should stop looking into it. it's none of our business and frankly the particles seem to agree
scientists should walk away really exaggerated and call out āOK! i guess iāll stop researching quantum physics...ā and then when the particles relax, they whip around super fast like a kid who just watched Toy Story trying to trick their toys into acting alive
Isn't that already how it's studied

Hey bro would you do me a platonic solid
Sorry, best I can do is a great icosahedron.
Bro. That's. That's a platonic solid, bro.
does this look platonic to you?
Nah, that shape fucks.

The thing that gets me about a lot of pseudoscientific medicine is the baffling way in which they view the human body.
It isnāt the inaccuracy that gets to me; we have a long history of just fucking guessing how the body works. Itās not even the extreme simplicity of their models. Itās how vulnerable they seem to think it is.
I mean, the skin is a barrier. It keeps stuff in and it keeps stuff out. Yes, there is some limited permeability; if you smear the right kinds of things on your skin then a little bit will get into your body (this is how topical anaesthetics work, and why we wear gloves in chemical labs). But some people are like āsmooth this acai berry cream on your skin to boost your immune system!ā [note: you DO NOT WANT to boost your immune system], or āput a raw potato under your armpit to draw to toxins out of your body!ā or some shit. I look at those foot bath things that fill up with yellow rust as you use them and people go, āall that yellow stuff is the toxins being drawn out through your feet!ā and I am horrified at their mental model for how the body works. They know your insides are protected by skin, right? Right?? If I thought my body was that permeable Iād wear a hazmat suit at all times. What if I touch some mud thatās got Toxins in it and they all get absorbed into my body? What if I use the wrong root vegetable under my armpit and it sucks all the vitamins out of my blood instead? Thatās terrifying!
āDrink alkaline water every morning to keep your blood pH high!ā Friend, how vulnerable is your blood to pH changes? You know that a fairly small variation can kill you?? If I thought this worked Iād never eat fermented foods again. Iād never clean with vinegar in case my Super Permeable Frog Skin absorbed all the acid into my blood and I died of acidemia.
āThis essential oil gives you energy! This one boosts your immune system!ā Theyāre for smells! They make smells! In your view, how much of my metabolism and immune regulation are dependent on what my environment smells like?? Am I going to die because I bought the Strawberry Surprise scented candle instead of sandalwood and my body forgot how to make ATP?? What???
The extreme fragility that they perceive in the human body, with apparently no barriers or regulatory mechanisms, vulnerable to such tiny changes in diet and environment, would terrify me. If I thought of the body like this I would never leave the house.
