okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post

likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
i need all the help i can get for finals
Hey so
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.
So you know.
This might be the real one, y’all.
what the hell? i could use some luck *hits reblog*
You know what I could use some luck
how it feels knowing that loneliness is still time spent with the world

Many thanks to wretchedoftheearth, elainecastillo, grim-dark, erosum, mmmajestic, andreaisace, ebookcollective, cantbereallif, ericstoller, sittinghereinbluejayway, nebulaemporium and other people through emails who all helped add links and resources.
Need to add Belonging which is about environmentalism from a black feminist perspective :)
Lilou Oh Yeah
that post calling ppl "mentally slow" for using chatgpt was v weird. while i think u should be learning & not getting chatgpt to write ur papers (tbh it's not even good at writing papers), i get that school is v demanding, esp when u have disabilities and/or a lot else going on. here's a couple tools to help take off some mental burdens of studying:
goblin.tools -> excellent site full of tools
magic to-do: AI breakdown of tasks into sub-steps
formalizer: in the name! changes text to formal language
judge: can tell u about the tone/subtext of ur writing
estimator: judges the length of a task for u
compiler: turns a braindump into a to-do list
researchrabbit: input a source u have already found to create connection webs (through citations) to other literatures -> ensures higher relevance in the sources u find vs digging thru ProQuest or JSTOR for hours
connectedpapers: same function as above, however it's limited to only 2 free articles
in case the hyperlinks break, direct links are below the cut
The Art Movement that Changed Film Forever - Video Essay by Thomas Flight
"From Euphoria to The Tragedy of Macbeth, the stylistic influence from one of the earliest and most radical film movements, German Expressionism, is still strong today."
Youtube recommended this fascinating video about the influence of German artists and directors from the 1920s on Film Noir and cinematography throughout the history of filmmaking. I thought I'd share a few quotes and stills here to entice others to watch it as well.

Munch's "The Scream" & themes throughout Expressionism
"It's almost as if the emotions of the character are too much to be contained, and bleed out into the world around them"
On the use of of Expressionism in Macbeth, 2021
"In the film, Macbeth's madness doesn't just come forth in his utterance or actions, it appears vividly on screen. Doorways tilt and don't quite line up, the environments shift around him, the landscape of the film is unapologetically unreal. The characters inhabit a realm that is shaped by their internal psychological state."
Euphoria x Expressionism x "Neon Noir"
"The show has none of the plot elements or stereotypical characters of Noir films, but what are these stunning shifts in lighting and evocatively lit environments that often appear in Euphoria if not an external manifestation of these character's feelings?"
Expressing the internal, reflecting the external
"The Expressionists projected an internal anxiety and discomfort outward, but it's really a two-way street...Expressionism blurs the boundaries between subjectivity and the external world. And how we feel affects the way we see the world around us, but the world around us also affects the way we feel."
"When the environment seems more off-balance, crooked, littered with shadows or unreal, perhaps that's when artists start looking for ways to express that."

old movies, public domain, classics, other such things: the read-more edition
this is a carry over of my original post but under a read-more for more extensive and readily available editing. updated whenever possible
the purposes of this post continue to be “eclectic” but to be “brief”, is for people who enjoy consuming Media and want to have online resources on hand to find them, especially when they are non-contemporary, non-mainstream, and/or on the obscure side (but not always!). it has evolved far beyond what the title says basically
feel free to send your own resources!
