Hiiiii :)

I just saw you on my feed talking about the show „Under the bridge“ which I started and am totally obsessed with because I love lily Gladstone and ✨butch women✨ but on a more serious note I wanted to ask if you are maybe personally a fan of Lily ? Because just like I said I’m a fan of her and I have been following her for 3 years now and with the on going situation about the met gala, her playing a cop in this show.. and not really speaking up about Palestine the way I expected, makes me kinda sad and uncomfortable. I know celebrity worship is not positive in any way but I always liked her acting and also the way she seems to be when not on camera. I know I can’t say much about her because I don’t know her personally but I said to myself kind of ironically before the met began „I‘m gonna stop supporting everyone who will be there“ but I kinda meant it and seeing lily there made me sad knowing that she would be willing to pay 75k for this sh!t is not it for me. Idk maybe I‘m overreacting I‘m just not really happy about what‘s happening lately when I thought some celebs actually stand on the right side but it turns out most don‘t care one bit about others and us the working class ofc.

Could you maybe tell me your thoughts on this ?

To start off I don't really keep up with the met gala/celebrities in general and I haven't heard of any specific controversies with the met gala this year? All I really know about it is that it's a fundraiser for the costume section of the met museum and she was there this year. so even if she did pay for the ticket the money goes directly to that non-profit cause. Take this with a grain of salt though because I really don't put any effort into keeping up with events like these. maybe i should but i'm just not particularly interested :) anyway this is quite long so i will put the rest under a cut.

as for her playing a cop- i think it's a good thing- her character occupies such a nuanced space; she's queer, a first nations woman adopted into a white cop family. yes she's a cop as well, but she's also a victim to that institution in a lot of the same ways reena was, and i think it makes for a great plot where she's forced to reckon with the institution she's a part of even though she is a marginalized woman in many ways. (i dont want to cite any specific things from the show because i don't really want to spoil anyone since the newest episode came out only yesterday, but there are several parallels between her and reena.)

As for her activism, with celebrities in general i don't necessarily look to them for moral guidelines. that isn't to say that i support any celebrities in any way with heinous views, but i'm also not keeping tabs on everything a celebrity who's work i enjoy has said about x y z issue. while i, too would imagine that she is sympathetic towards palestinians, i think it's not really fair to expect lily to take on every single issue concerning indigenous people around the world, seeing as indigenous people in north america alone are still in a shitty position (in terms of mmiw, threats to their land, mental health crises, natural disasters, and these are issues off the top of my head.) i think i also hold this opinion because i am a pretty privileged white woman and i think it would be beyond hypocritical to point at lily and go "you're not being a good activist for palestinians even though you're indigenous yourself!!" and this goes beyond whether i think of myself as a good activist or not. i also think that since she's really just 'broken through,' she doesnt want/maybe has been told not to rock the boat in that way in order to protect her future career, though i honestly dont know. it's not an excuse for not speaking out, but it's just something that came across my mind. again, take this all with a grain of salt.

i did it. im caught up. im sad i caught up. i like it a lot. i’m very sensitive to the faults storywise and visually as well as societal implications but it’s good that i get to engage with it and think. i don’t know if they will pull it out but so far so good. i’d like to hear if anyone has any critiques but probably not. now i’m tres interested in aeymhok and also pls keep aey on skewerslide watch i swear to god the energy the actor was radiating i was like was this me looking at my brother when i thought he was gonna lose his mind? is this mymom looking at me? maybe im just extra sensitive lately but i feel like he’s a sad sack but bnot in a bad way. it;s like ugh you’re actually pathetic rn but there’s so much shit! and u can tell even through the stupid behavior he just knows it sucks. so melancholy jesus christ. i will fly to thailand rn and save u i swear 2 god kid

i liek the ensemble nature. interested to see whats ahead. i’m trying to locate the feeling of watching it. it is enjoyable and romantic but it’s also a show i actualyl have to think for. i mentioned this before but they upload the videos on youtueb pretty crisp and htey dont come compressed, the audio is clean, the production design is nice, and even if its’ a bit emptier than what we would be used to like yea it works. they are asking us to understand and take the show seriously, go through the ups and downs, think and reflect, and think back and also the immediate jokes and thoughts that come up. theyre telling us it’s serious so the two MAJOR things to do that i know they wont do: clean up the fucking edit. i am sorry it’s unacceptable. there’s some lazy fucking syncing and cutting. it’s probably some kid who knows nothing doing it but this is your WORK guys and it’s so far decent work so i don’t think the scenes where it’s clear they were rushing to get it out or something should go out unchecked. dont care that’s filmmakign 101. ur telling us everything abt this is a true work SO FUCKING MAKE IT COUNT IN YOUR EDIT. IT’ S AHUGE PART OF THE EXPERIENCE.

secondly they NEED to understnad the timing of sound. like honestly. they have to get rid of the gulping “foley” (sounds recreated after the fact but idk if that would be foley? idc) it’s REALLY DISTRACTING. the eye movements. it’s been more sobering and theyve tempered the music but you can tell when they nail certain scenes and then it’s like others hwere they were like ????? WHAT 2 DO? NEED 2 SUBMIT TAPE? UHHHHHHHHH JUST (fast typing) and then we get shit like a double cut in a shot. nah. they KNOW how to do it so you can feel what parts are being rushed and that’s where im like DO BETTER GUYS IT’S IN YOU

the editing thing imo is not minor. the music thing fine. but im hoenstly shocked. that’s really embarrassing and th eeditor should be embarrassed and so should the team. it’s soooo frustrating to see that cos you know they spent time and energy on it. so it needs that consistency.

i can literally onyl talk about this at length bc i genuinely like what i hvae seen and i find the show interesting! i love it when satire makes me think but i brace myself for if it fails cos it can. and even though you kind have have to think more with it there’s less stress and pressure when watching it. i think bc there’s a lot to figure out tempered with the humor so the watch isnt stressful which a lot of TV is to me. but again these shows arent meant to be binged! which is good! and why it is even more imperative u fucking make sure when u publish ur show u get that cut motherfucking TIGHTTTTTTTT MATE

bonus for sure the acting in this show is really beyond than usual. not like stellar. but like with ITSAY it’s like ah yes gravitas. feeling. and they have to bc of the show’s contents. but u can see up takes it seriously. he’s doing really well. i was recently listening to this make up artist who sued to work in film and he was like listen if ur gonna fake drunk u gotta SELL THAT SHIT MAN and ever since then it’s been stuck in my head. up sold it!!!!!! yes indeed my measure of a good actor is HOW GOOD ARE U AT FAKING BEING FUCKED UP / BEING FUCKED UP AND ACTING WHILE UR FUCKED UP LMAO

fun fact that’s actually an insurance disaster. ur not allowed to have driks around a camera bc it’s insured. yes it’s stupid but it’s true. no people dont follow it.

#lovely writer #why yes #yes filmmakers will go into your home #cos htey rented an airbnb for their film #and u may or may not be working on set as a PA #and u may just so happen to spill some coffee on a white couch #anythign can happen #now imagine that but with like a 75k camera #art :')

How to Become a Bionics Engineer - Bionics in Real Life Brings Hope to Amputees

How to Become a Bionics Engineer - Bionics in Real Life Brings Hope to Amputees

Updated November 15, 2017

Technology has given us the ability to overcome disease, famine, and tragedy like never before. A plague that would have killed millions of people in the 1600s now may only end the lives of a dozen people today. Technology has brought new found fancies to our lives. Technology has also complicated our lives in many other frivolous ways, but none the less technology has brought a great deal of convenience to many peoples lives.

It can occasionally be overwhelming to me when I see people using a device 20x more powerful than the first computer ever built to play angry birds or post cat videos on Facebook, but that is the beauty of free enterprise. Putting the best technology into the hands of the people and allowing them to use it in the manner they desire.

This made me think. How can technology help people in need of physical redemption?

Wounded war veterans, terrorism victims, and birth defections. How can these tragic cases be turned into victorious testimonies of technological advancements. According to a research article done by Dr. Grant McGimpsey and Terry C. Bradford there are roughly 189,000 amputees every single year in the U.S. and currently 1.9 million citizens living with amputated limbs.

During the Boston Marathon Patrick and Kensky Downes lost their legs in the terrorist bombing. Newly married, active, and excited about life’s opportunities the Downes had no idea that morning would be the last time they would use their legs to carry them through the streets of Boston.

CAMBRIDGE, MA – OCTOBER 6: Boston Marathon bombing survivors Patrick Downes and Jess Kensky, his wife, walk the two-mile route around Fresh Pond with their service dog Rescue in Cambridge, Mass., on Oct. 6, 2015. (Photo by John Tlumacki/The Boston Globe)

Think about it. Something you use every day, without a thought. Your legs are an intricate part of your human anatomy, can you imagine if they were no longer there? I cannot fathom being without my legs. The idea is so foreign to me, so vague. What Kensky and Patrick must go through to become “whole” again (partially whole) is the most cumbersome process of trial and error.

Three-and-a-half years after the attacks, Kensky has spent so much time in surgical wards that she doesn’t bother counting how many surgeries she’s had. “For me, it’s not been helpful. I feel like with the numbers, it wouldn’t summarize this journey,” says Kensky. “The answer I give is that it’s been three-and-a-half years and I have them on a regular basis.”

Quote from People Magazine Online

Everyday Kensky and Patrick are struggling with testing new mechanical limbs, technologies, and extensive invasive surgeries. What if there were a better solution to all of their pain, unsuccessful limb testing and surgeries…

Over the past decade we have seen the development of telecommunications, clean energy solutions, and artificial intelligence to name a handful of Silicone Valley’s mind babies.

But what about Kensky and Patrick? Where are the developments for bionics and artificial limbs. There is all of this development in robotics but has any of this made it into the human bionics sector? There is one man making incredible developments in the area of Bionics, Hugh Herr. Hugh is an amputee himself, with a passion for the outdoors. He lost his in a winter climbing expedition due to extreme frost bite, but that has never stopped him from pursuing his love for the outdoors.

Over the years Hugh has continued to advance technology in the sector of artificial limbs. Recently he gave a Ted Talk about the current advancements being made and they are truly incredible. You can watch his talk below:

It is evident that incredible advancements are being made in the area of Human Bionics, but there is still so much that needs to be accomplished.

When it comes to a career in Bionics it is so much more than a salary. Although there can be great income potential ranging from $75k – $150k and beyond, the ability to help people like the Kensky and Patrick Downes is more satisfying than any amount of money the world can give to you.

Now that you have a little back ground on the need for bionics let’s talk about how you can start training to become the next bionics engineer!

1 ) Introduction to Biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

If you are brand new to the field of science you are going to want to get started with a class on the Introduction to Biology. If you are up to speed on all of the life sciences than you can jump ahead, but maybe you need to brush up on your knowledge. Don’t skimp out on the basics!

2 ) Robotics: Locomotion Engineering from Pennsylvania University

This may sound odd. Why would I learn how to build robotics…I am trying to develop a solution for humans. Consider the previous video featuring Hugh Herr. He was utilizing robotics technology to create artificial legs that were responsive to his movements. This is essential to innovating limbs that will not only fill in the void of missing limbs, but create life like response and usability.

3 ) Power Electronics Specialization from the University of Colorado Boulder

By 2030, 80% of all electrical energy will be processed by power electronics. Professional advantages continue to grow for technical engineers who understand the fundamental principles and technical requirements of modern power conversion systems. This specialization covers design-oriented analysis, modeling and simulation techniques leading to practical engineering of high-performance power electronics systems.

Not only will you be ready to equip bionics with highly functional electronics systems but you will have a competitive edge on an expanding market. Power electronics is gives you the ability to know how a vast majority of the products you use every single day operate and receive their power.
