Haters fail to grasp that Taylor’s massive success isn’t due to any trends , it’s largely based on her relationship with US. If you don’t understand the lore of pen genres she’s not for you
#edit: to clear up any confusion this is about FANS not United States#talent and music aside that’s why we continue to show up in numbers#haters will see just some aesthetics and think that’s all it is#when it’s an interactive Easter egg hunt for fans#no one has to buy physical copies anymore but if I want to support somone I will#her career has always been very fan engaging#from the start it’s been about connection#ttpd library#ttpd

I find little Machete being happy over bread baking to be so endearing, especially because I can imagine a world in which helping with baking was one of the few childhood joys he had (due to the lack of art of him happy as a pup), and then remembering the art you did months back of modern Machete making a souffle, I can see reincarnated Machete being drawn towards baking in his free time due to those residual feelings from his past life.
.
#aww dang#it's funny you remembered the souffle and made that connection#I didn't even think of that but it's very fitting#to be fair the part of his childhood he spent as an oblate in the monastery was relatively worry-free and uneventful#small children are good at making their own fun it often doesn't take much to make them happy#Machete was nervous and sensitive as a kid that's just part of his innate personality but that doesn't mean he was miserable all the time#things started to get difficult when he was old enough to start his apprenticeship#and his master was way harsher than he was prepared to handle#answered#lunalemures#his life would've been less turbulent if he had chosen to stay in the monastery and become a monk instead of pursuing a clerical career#baking bread or tending the library#with bland regular meals twice a day and bedtime at 6 pm#but he would've never met Vasco of course

Okay FO4 positivity time now I LOVE the quest to go make the Library safe that Beatrice gives you, it's just another dungeon crawl but the horror of somewhere the Sole might have been a patron in too going downhill like that and the pleasure of cleaning it up (You can't in game but in MY head they get some people together and fix it up or salvage some of the books to send with caravans as a travelling library service or something)
#*Insert Arthur library card song*#I loooove libraries so much visiting the library in 3 was one of my favourite quests too I was sooooo sad there wasn't really a quest in NV#Not besides helping the Followers of the Apocalypse#IDK if I've talked about it on this blog but I love libraries so much I'm hoping to build a career out of it#fallout#fallout 4#fo4#kat plays fo4

Fun fact: Dimetrodon was not a dinosaur. It's not a reptile at all and is way more closely related to mammals than anything else. It's a synapsid! Dimetrodon was called a "mammal-like reptile" when it was first discovered, but then we realized that was wrong.
exactly! i've always found that super interesting tbh
#i gotta brush back up on my pre-dinosaur animal knowledge at some point#like i know dimetrodon by name and can recognize a lot of others they're neat fellas#i don't super keep up with paleo stuff in general nowadays but maybe i oughta find some stuff at my library#LOTS of residual knowledge from my dinosaur phase as a kid though#also fossil fighters#both of which definitely contain outdated info hence the need to brush up on the latest news dhglkdfh#but yeah i just lumped dimetrodon in with the dinosaur tag bc that's the easiest thing to do#it's not like i'm out here making separate pterosaur and plesiosaur tags either hflkghfd. prolly would if i was a paleo artist or smthin bu#i am not lol. would be a cool career though!#asks#anon

successful internet personality constantly feeling the gaze of the "THE RISE AND FALL OF ___" video essayists just waiting for them to slip up and crash for content for their next 4 hour video
#like... dgmw it's interesting to hear about some of the shady stuff some people did and how it affected their brand#And them being exposed so people can make informed choices about whether or not to support them is good too#but... damn it must be bleak to build your entire career on other people's failures gkfjfjd#+ it kinda creates a glass house scenario where people just assume there's nothing wrong with You#because you're the guy who calls out others so obviously you wouldn't share any of their flaws#which... sets a weird precedent i would say#like idk someone who's an abuser could start making videos calling Other people abusers and then nobody would suspect Them yk#& like... i am Not talking about sthg like hbomberguy exposing james somerton et al#his videos are about many different topics like games tv shows laughing at right-wingers & flat earthers etc#i mean people whose entire youtube library is filled with stories about successful content creators doing Bad thing and losing their career

once again stressed as hell because i have the opportunity to apply for a job and i feel like i HAVE to take it despite the fact that i really dont want it and also feel like it wouldnt necessarily even be the best move in terms of career… but like. Fatal American Desire To Seize Every Financial Opportunity At The Expense Of My Own Well-being.
#i know i dont want to be a public librarian. if i work in public libraries long term i want to work behind the scenes in some way#it makes so much more sense for me to keep my little no-hours minimum wage job for now and look for something ACTUALLY relevant to my career#interests either an internship or job or something#ugh. i am so susceptible to anxiety over feeling like im missing an oportunity#even when its not something i actually want#i have done all the thinking and rationalizing and it makes so much more sense to focus on school and figure out where i actually want to be#in the LIS world and make those connections than to get a more stressful job in part of it that isnt in the career path i actually want to#go down anyways. and even if i change my mind and DO want to go into public libraries eventually this opportunity will be back soon enough#they hire for this position at least once a year#ecdysing

im sorry UTS, but WHAT on fucking earth is "creative intelligence and innovation"????? and why on earth would anyone studying nursing or midwifery need "entrepreneurship and innovation" as a double degree??
#life#about me#shut up ilona#uni#uni life#uts is uni of technology sydney btw#thought i'd have a look today at what courses they offer to see if they got rid of that library course i was going to do back in 2019#and my GOD. reading the subject outlines for the “creative intelligence and innovation” subjects......#....were literally just vague asf corporate-speak gobble-de-gook for 'system thinking and innovation leaders of tomorrow'#what the fuck does that have to do with nursing or midwifery???#WHY would you add another like 16 to like 20 grand to a nursing degree with this useless ass diploma of corporate brainrot???#like motherfucker. do you really WANT a theranos 2.0 or an elizabeth holmes 2.0???#bc that's what you're opening up the world to with this bs 'creative intelligence and innovation' course....#..... paired with many of the egotistical high school mean girls that apparently go into nursing and other medical field careers...#....and also entrepreneurship.... or at least in my opinion anyway#you can also pair it with science which also to me could lead to sketchy shit tbh

HONESTLY. i agree with prev anon minedai community rlly feels like it’s own separate thing a lot of the time i get so shocked when people who aren’t mainly minedai posters acknowledge it LMFAO it’s pretty rare. we’re kind of in our own stuck in yakuza 3 bubble if that makes sense while everyone’s moving on with the newer games
real tbh. i get jumpscared when people mention it outta no where like how did you know this existed..... can i help you... its like when you lift up a rock and theres a bunch of bugs underneath
#snap chats#like recently that one artist featured daigo and mine in a comic of theirs and i had to blink twice#like oh my god thats right they dont just exist in mine and five other people's heads thats fucked up#WELCOMED but woah ..#its just funnier to follow the games through daigo tbh. thats my fave things about these games#just wondering wtf daigos up to since he's- ironically- the Straightest man in that he's so . Guy.#like he's Just A Guy amongst these people and i love him so much and i like how he looks concerned 90% of the time#yes he's the chairman of the tojo but it's also really easy to imagine him working at like. a printer company. or a library#whenever chairman daigo takes his shirt off i get jumpscared cause its like Oh Right He Does Fight Sometimes#i love his fight style cause its so fucking. he really just swinging who give a fuck his strength is shooting people not this#he can still kick ass Allegedly tho i wont discredit wtf the game told me but still its funny how rough his style is. i love him#the fuck am i waffling on about. idk we're talking about the stanley prison experiment for the ninety millionth time in my academic career

OK tumblr I need your help with something.
We volunteer in a library today, loved it, and are now very seriously considering changing our major to become a librarian.
Our current major is communication studies, aiming to get into an HR position, then later on go back to school for sociology and psycology.
My question to you, librarians of tumblr, do you think it's worth it?
I feel like it bears saying that we're autistic, plural, and queer; interact well with people but could be wayy better
#college student#librarian#library#librarians of tumblr#advice request#career decisions#first: no pressure! this is mostly an (if you want to tell me how great your job is/rant about how bad it is) thing. im absolutely going to#be getting more advice on this#but i figured tumblr was a good place to poke around!#second: we're (the system) all crap at communications. so while we enjoy it its not the best option career wise#it was mostly just a foot in the door anywY#*anyway#thirdly: we're all super literary and love to read and organize. and the library we'd be working for is one weve been going to for a decade#uh yeah i think thats it! again no pressure tumblr librarians! love yall!#actually autistic#plural

hiii do u have any recs for books on mormon history? i'm mostly interested in how joseph smith's doctrine was shaped by american society around him and how mormon pioneers adopted settler colonialism/how they thought about race, also how they clashed with the american government and where mormons' anti-federal views began. but i'll really take recs on anything!!! google is not very helpful for finding mormon history books that are written from ppl outside the church lol
oh I am SO happy to help you, I love giving book recs.
I think all of the topics you've mentioned are fascinating and they're actually things I really want to dig deeper into myself. Most of what I've read so far has been either more overview/biography or focused on women's issues or polygamy. Obviously, both Mormon settler-colonialism and conflict with the federal government comes up while researching other topics, but I feel like I both want and need to read more specifically focusing on those subjects because they are definitely very important. I can still point you in the direction of a few books with either direct or tangential connection to your interests that I've read and liked, and some others I haven't read but have heard good things about.
Joseph Smith
For your question about Smith's doctrine and how he was shaped by his society, I would strongly recommend Dan Vogel's Joseph Smith: The Making of a Prophet. This is sort of an origin-story biography, focusing on JS's life up until 1831, the year after he published the Book of Mormon and formally founded the LDS church. But it's also a close reading of the text of the BOM examining how JS's life experiences and the context of the world around him affected the book he produced. There's also a follow up book, Charisma under Pressure: Joseph Smith, American Prophet, 1831–1839, focusing on the Ohio and Missouri periods of the early church, which came out this year and I haven't read it yet. The first volume is fantastic, though, and it's very close to what you're looking for.
I also have some recs that less directly address your question but still are relevant, and I think they're just good overall. Benjamin Park's Kingdom of Nauvoo focuses on Nauvoo-era Mormonism and does a really good job of putting their doctrine and society in its cultural context and comparing them to broader American society. Spencer McBride's Joseph Smith for President focuses on JS's 1844 third-party presidential campaign and his assassination mid-campaign.
Mormon Settler-Colonialism and Attitudes About Race
You absolutely need to read Virginia Kerns' Sally in Three Worlds: An Indian Captive in the House of Brigham Young. This is an absolutely fantastic and deeply moving book, I think it's one of the best works of Mormon-related history I've read. Kerns does a wonderful job of outlining the painful intimacy of how Sally's life intersected with the Young family, and there's a lot in this book both about how the Mormon settlement of Utah affected native people and about how Mormons settlers saw natives.
I would also recommend Pioneer Prophet, John Turner's biography of Brigham Young. It's a very engaging read and a really good biography of Young, and I think given his role as primary architect of Utah's colonization and the creator of the priesthood ban against black men, it's relevant to the topic.
I had mixed feelings about Joanna Brooks' Mormonism and White Supremacy, I think there are a lot of things she could have gone into more detail about and sometimes her arguments are a bit clumsy. I still think it's worth reading, especially for information about the church during the civil rights movement and the arguments over ending the priesthood ban. (Despite its broad title, the book is mostly focused on Mormon attitudes towards people of African descent, and chronologically on the 20th century rather than earlier. It is a good introduction to that subject, though, and it has a lot of really rich primary sources that are very informative).
I have not read Religion of a Different Color: Race and the Mormon Struggle for Whiteness, but I have heard very good things.
Conflict with the Federal Government
Unfortunately, this is the area where I think I can help you least. I've read a lot touching on conflicts with the federal government, which is in many ways the defining theme of Mormonism in the latter half of the 19th century, but not a lot focusing specifically on it.
I have not read any of these books, and cannot vouch for their quality, but they do seem relevant to the topic and certainly may be worth checking out.
Unpopular Sovereignty: Mormons and the Federal Management of Early Utah Territory
The Mormon Rebellion: America's First Civil War 1857-1858
The Mormon Question: Polygamy and Constitutional Conflict in Nineteenth-Century America
Pioneer Prophet will definitely also address this topic!
Please let me know if you have any other questions or you end up reading and enjoying any of these books! I love talking about this kind of thing!
#getting my career as a librarian started before i even start library school! who is doing it like me#mormonposting tag#please enjoy!!!
