Just getting through my day is enough.

Wanting to go to the gym before class begins later.

~"strengths and weekaness

if you start finding the work tedious what would you do?

what if someone talks to you while working?

b/c you can't provide 'information location' specifically ...what if someone asks for directions?

if a person were to describe you?..

your last job?..

what interests you about here?..

any issues with lifting possibly heavy things.."

Recently 'a lie' might have went through on 'glassdoor' when I said I was accepted for a job (of library page) which I did for the sake of the information going through (to be honest I'm not too sure it did).

If there was anything 'working against my favor' in the job interview process it was mentioning possible incompatabilities with me being already hired (exam invigilating) which might deter from me being a *one person picked* in contrast to say a bubbly high schooler who has never had employment experience and who might be seen as more pleasant to 'keep around' as far as social circles go. Please understand, that I would put this on par with an experience job interviewing at 'Toys'R'Us' if not even more in terms of how pleasant it was, enough for me to speak organically and comfortably.

The key/possible fallacy causing so much 'self-pressure' here is me assuming how only one would be picked for being a library page..I wonder how 'the environment' for training will/would be ?.

I liked the interview for this 'dream position' is what I mean to say.

When it comes to old anime 90's which could have played on 'YTV' during the late 90's and early 00's 'hey-day' btw the excess in various extents of violence, innuendo and merchandising priorities of the Dragon ball series, Pokemon and Sailor Moon, imo 'Kenshin' and at least the original 'Slayers' series could have filled a nice niche of anime which isn't too inappropriate, not too difficult to understand or follow and still had made for a fun 'bridge' to thematically denser series ('Full metal alchemist', the Gundam series or Inuyasha for that matter).

you're a good mom for realizing that your mood can affect your child.

My childhood bullies gave me clear signs of bullies towards me AND kiran
Racism
Bigotry
Fake victims false accusations (against kiran not me then when the teacher realized they lied about her she just give tjem a ‘not good, girls!’ N they were fine. If we had made false accusations about THEM i wonder wht the teacher wd have said!)
Ppl accepting n ignoring it which further hurts actual victims causing them to hide it
Many situations but mainly from grades 4-6 (all in Canadian public schools )
Etc
Which majorly impacted not just me but my family too (motive fr moving )

How the bullies did it ‘under the radar’ n when caught never got in trouble fr lying

Then God was like ‘u don’t know why this is randomly happening now but u will when u are almost 30!’

Then BAM!
XH false accusations bcuz he was scared fr his mom gettinv in trouble abt Sick kids morphine overdose attempt (Childrens aid closed file after seeing all my documentation n evidence and knew with outsidef confirmation he ws lying including nurses fr witnesses )
Among much more



And now i not only know why it happebed n had it happen again bur worse (claire
lying abt me)
But

It made me someone who will’bristle’ n detect bullying n liars n exploiters
N stand up fr myself

N unravel their lies very clearly in writing
Now i know the part of me that is like the lady I was named after
Asma r.a.

Who said in times of extreme fear frm robbers when ppl were keeping indoors (no police back then!)
‘If a robber (rapist, robber, attempted murder) attacks me i will stab him with this knife.’
When she was asked why she was going out to work in such a dangerous time


In other words
1. Experiencing bad things makes u understand the ppl who did it
2. Then u know what is necessary to protect urself
3. U are aware n prepared n that makes them squirm when they know there is a person in the crowd who easily unravelled lies n did not just ‘let it slide’

Dr.Slump:

Arale seems like a charming character but >_< >:( d--- it!, I can live **without** the cacaphillic/scatalogical humour >~< !.

I feel like dialoguing with someone in 'live time' about comic books but that might be asking too much from '7cups'.

I definitely feel that the influence of comic books on the impression of what figure drawing means to ppl shouldn't be understated, even if you don't consider the past ~20 yrs of animation American or otherwise.

In Alex Ross I see 'classical' figure drawing techniques brought to comic book splendidly and the recent 'into the spider-verse' movie brought old comic book stylizations into the movie not the least to distinguish it from whatever Tom Holland might do or what might be aired on TV, imo.

**That** is the what figure based art has meant on a 'mass, collective scale' via pop culture in contrast to how maybe only as recently as ~+70 yrs ago or such it was mainly a relatively small circle of ppl who were involved in 'fine arts' whether through academia or museums or maybe an occasional animator experimenting who could take structurally different and 'funky', novel approaches to what a body or figure could mean and express.

This is one reason I can see for why the prideful attitude of 'animation is for children' needs to fade. It's one of those things which yet again in the presence/face of so much 'informational-ism' (the internet) and 'new media' isn't going to sustain and keep afloat very well for too long imo.

This podcast said everyone with periods (women, transmen etc) tracks their periods...

Really? I don't. I have a vague sense of when they're coming up but I would find it odd to track them on paper or on an app.

Not much. Except we got a lot of snow where I am.

It shouldn't actually be a surprise that my classmate D is stupid. Not that I want to get into that sort of rivalry... Fitba rivalry is worth it, this stuff isn't.

It ought to be possible for a butch woman (butch enough to want a man's haircut, exact same conversation etc) to go to a barber's and get one at men's prices.

I had a barber that did it when I was a kid.

Gender was weird when I was a kid and a youth. I wasn't male but I had a sense of being a boy since I was about 7. People tended to treat me as one, whether they liked me or not. All the way til I moved house. Only person who didn't was my great aunt who really wanted a daughter and was a bit weird/obsessed about it and also treated her son like a daughter. We weren't in some great, safe SJW place, I didn't get treated well all the time but it was always as a boy.

I wish someone would do that now. Figure out I'm 30 and butch and would prefer to be treated like they treat a bloke, ideally nicely of course.

I'm probably trans but mum was in hospital when I was a kid over something lifesaving and it made me scared of hospitals and surgery and besides I'll never pass. I can pass socially but only as a kid. I often get treated like a girl and I prefer being treated like a boy to like a girl. I still look about 15. But I do anyway, as a girl. People never believe I'm 30 until they've known me a long time.

Contemplating the idea whether joining a physical--as opposed to online--community of Aspies would be beneficial. You know...finally be around people who would understand my perspectives and idiosyncrasies. I wonder if it would feel better to be around like minded people; can't say I have had many such instances of "bonding" with people. I suppose I've always felt too much of an outsider. Always looking from the outside, rarely participating. If I did participate, it very rarely lasted long. Few common topics. Idiosyncratic language tendencies make barriers to effective communication. I'm wondering if most Aspies would understand me in conversation... I shall have to find such a group and see.

Think about how anyone born at the beginning of this century can now..

The question of cultural sensitivity in depicting what might be Native ppl aside, if this was in part a reaction to what I posted before you, I'm thankful for reminding me how cool and understated in terms of exploration French, Belgian and Continental European comics on the whole can be, Traven.

It's interesting to think that esp. after the late 80's ppl were increasingly so fixated on Japanese manga and anime and we've become so saturated from exposure to it and learning from it that the artistry of 'other white (non-Americans)/other white' ppl when it comes to comics and animation including the non-superhero kind been badly neglected.

Definitely nothing against anime or manga but I think a study of French and Belgian comics from btw the end of WWII to late 80's would be worth a study. I say that date range mainly to focus on an era when I assume 'animesque' influences weren't really a thing yet.

Just being human the last time I checked

You're not going to believe this. England is on my mind.
