So he’d start off class by going “Raise your hand if you think you know why men hunted and women stayed back in the settlements” and most kids would raise their hands. He’d list off a few various reasons and kids would slowly start participating. Then he’d go “How many of you think it’s because men are stronger” and of course most of the males would raise their hands with a few girls. He’d then proceed to rip apart the patriarchal views they had all been taught. “No,” he’d say, “It’s because if five men went out and three or two came back no one would bat an eye. They’d grieve sure, but society would go on. Now if five women went out and three or two came back you know what would happen? Society would collapse.”

In Australia the Aborigines believed that women were more powerful than men and closer to gods because of their ability to give birth, and men would make themselves bleed just to be like women when they came of age

In the Philippines many people held practices which celebrated a woman’s first menstruation, encouraged free sexual exploration before marriage for young men and women, and believed women to be spiritual leaders, so that the only way a “man” could be one was to become a woman (transwomen were able and even encouraged to marry, and were identified as women within the community)

Also in the Philippines economic structures defined power, so a man who was poorer than his wife would take her name, and daughters would inherit and become heads of the family if they were the eldest

Westerners love to flout how great they are at women empowerment when it comes to other cultures that treat women badly, but actively try to hide the fact that there are thousands of other cultures who treated women better centuries ago than they do even today

Apply to a  job, wait (1) day, then call.  Give them your first and last name. Tell them you submitted an application and that you’re very motivated to find [Enter field name] work. Let the conversation lead you wherever it takes. Be very polite. Say” thank you for your time, I’ll be looking forward to hearing back from you.” Rinse, repeat. This is to force them to be looking out for your application. 

 When you get to the interview, shake their hand firmly,  tell them your first and last name.  

Describe your experiences  as “ two years transcription and data entry” if you have a desk job interview and “ [however many years]  costumer service, retail and stock” for your retail jobs.  

Don’t use job “ buzz words” I stg they hear them all day. Say  things like, “ I’m detail oriented and am very good at taking instruction.”  “ I would like to work for a company with integrity and I feel that [ company name] would be a good fit”

When they ask you if you have “reliable transportation” say  YES. don’t tell them what kind of transportation, just say yes. (if you don’t do this, you wont get the job , I’m telling you right now). 

Research the company. Know what they do, why they do it, how OLD the company is. WHERE it was founded, and what kind of position you’re intending to apply for.

When they ask you “ give us a situation where you had to blah blah blah” Make one the fuck up. Make yourself sound good as hell, and like you put your company’s needs slightly above the customer’s needs, but make the customer happy. 

If they ask you about being outgoing, Say you “like to focus on your work so you can concentrate on doing things right” (which buys you out of having to act friendly all the time)

Questions for after the interview:

1.  Does this position offer upward mobility?

2. Do you enjoy working for the company? (if you’re not interviewing for a temp agency who will send you anywhere)

 Then, shake their hand,  Ask them to repeat their name (REMEMBER THIS) say thank you for your time, wish them a nice day and leave. write their name down outside if you have to, just remember the fuck out of it. 

AFTER your interview, send a card directed to the name of the person who interviewed you (I’ll give you them) that says “Thank you for the interview, I appreciate the opportunity. have a great day” This shows  that you have an understanding of professionalism, and will have them thinking of you kindly (or at least remembering you) when they’re shuffling through the choices. 

DO NOT tell them you just moved to the city over the phone.  In person, tell them you just moved to the city. Make it sound like the only reason you need a job is because you moved. Not because you’re desperate.

Unlike The Last Airbender, Prince of Persia, Ghost in the Shell, Gods of Egypt, and Doctor Strange, The Great Wall is not inserting a white actor into a role meant for a non-white actor. This is an original story by Chinese director Zhang Yimou (famous for Hero and House of Flying Daggers), filmed in Qingdao, China, and featuring one of the largest Chinese casts ever.

Did you only see Matt Damon in advertising? That’s because the Chinese people involved with the film know that Americans will recognize an American actor. This is targeted marketing. If you actually look at the cast, Damon co-stars with Chinese actors Andy Lau, Jing Tian, Han Lu, and more.

The Chinese film industry is trying to break into the American market by featuring a prominent American actor. Don’t boycott The Great Wall for attempting to appeal to American audiences. Matt Damon’s entire purpose is to lure Americans into the theater for Jason Bourne and expose them to Chinese actors already well known in China.

A similar example to The Great Wall is the upcoming action-comedy film Skiptrace starring Jackie Chan and Johnny Knoxville. A Chinese actor and a white actor are co-starring and the film involves a road trip from Mongolia to Hong Kong. If you’re still displeased with Matt Damon, go see that.

So a little bit of background: I’m an outdoor camp instructor and I lead and conduct activities mostly for kids ranging from 7 to 18 years old. What happened during the period of time where I worked there really spooked me out. 

ONE

It’s night 1 of the 3d2n camp and all the kids were super hyped, so naturally they were reluctant to go to bed. We had to push them to sleep for a good 30 to 45 minutes, which is way longer than the usual timings. And we usually do our final debrief and discussion for the day and get to shower and our precious few hours of sleep before starting the activities for the next day again. So, lights out time is the highlight of our whole day. 

After putting the kids to sleep, it was about 12am. All of the trainers went to do our final debrief and a brief area cleaning. The final debrief lasted for about another 45 minutes. Everyone was super exhausted by now and it was about 1 or 2am. This is the only timing that we are allowed to go out of campsite for a smoke since the kids are sleeping. The smoke break usually lasts for about slightly more than an hour, with everyone sharing stories about their kids and really just random things. 

After smoking, we trudged back into the campsite. My friend- let’s just call her Ash- and I strolled back into the campsite last, and noticed two boys coming out of the dorms. So we thought “Oh probably just to use the toilet”. But then we saw that they were holding onto something. 

Naturally we walked up to them and upon closer inspection, they had their toiletries and towel in their hands. We asked “What are you doing up at this hour?" 

The two boys just said "The female instructor woke us up. She said it’s 6am and we’re late for breakfast.” in complete unison. It was like they were in a trance. 

Ash and I were the only two female instructors in this whole camp. We knew that something is happening but we couldn’t let the kids suspect anything so we just brushed it off and said “You know what time is it now? It’s 3.30am, go back to sleep." 

The two boys went back into their dorms. Ash and I were super sweaty and sticky from a whole day of activities and it was the hottest period of the year. It was about 32 degrees, 90+/- Fahrenheit, so we just took a really quick shower so we could sleep earlier. As we were walking back to our dorm, Ash suddenly mumbled "what the fuck?” under her breath. I naturally turned to the direction where she was looking. 

Two different boys walk out of the same dorm as before. We half jogged to the boys and asked if they were going to shower and have breakfast. They said yes, again, as if they were in a trance. Ash and I confirmed that there was something happening in the dorm, so we sat outside their door after sending the two boys back in. 

5 minutes later we hear some paper bags rustling from inside the dorm and two different boys appeared at the door (so a total of 6 boys now) with their toiletries and towels in their hands. 

“Did a female trainer wake you up?” I asked. 

“Yes.” the two boys said in unison. 

“Is she inside right now?” I asked again. 

“Yeah, she’s shouting at everyone and asking us to wake up for breakfast. Can’t you hear her?” One of the boys said. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t completely freaking out but I had to keep my composure as a trainer/instructor in front of my 9-year-old boys. 

“Okay, show me the trainer then.” I grabbed Ash’s arm as the two boys lead us into the dorm. Everyone was in their sleeping bags. No signs of anyone else other than the kids in the dorm. I turned to the boys and said, “Where’s the trainer?" 

"There…” They pointed at the darkest corner of the room. No one was standing there, nothing at all. Ash finally spoke up “It’s just the trainer pranking you. Go to sleep. We will wake you up in the morning when it is time." 

The two boys went back to sleep and we’ve never moved away so fast from the kids before. No one spoke about the incident and the six boys who the "female trainer” woke up doesn’t remember anything about what happened when we asked them about it the next day.

TWO

This one happened in the same campsite as the first one. So finally the lights out time came and we do the usual pushing the kids to sleep and final debrief and whatnot. The next morning came by way too quickly. I got up, got dressed and went straight to the canteen where my kids were told to assemble at. 3 of my boys looked super tired and I asked if they slept well. 

“You guys are so mean..” One of them said. 

“Why do you say that?” I took a gulp of my water and looked at my buddy trainer Amirul. 

The boys said, “You asked us to sleep and then when we finally fall asleep you guys are so noisy, you woke us up again." 

Naturally I was really puzzled as to what he was saying because as far as I could remember all the trainers knocked out really early the night before. "What are you talking about?” My buddy asked.

Here’s a commission for acteon-carolsfeld!

This was super interesting to do! :v They wanted a paint-over of their lineart, so this is more like a paid collab than a straight commission. Which is super interesting to do because I don’t know if I’ve seen other people doing this type of commission :0

Anyway! This is fanart of the show Chibi Maruko-chan,  and the characters are Maruko-chan and Hanawa-kun. They’re animal caretakers for their class, and one time they went to catch frogs :3c

Thanks so much for being such a great sport and such an amazing talent! I’ve said this before in PM but I absolutely love how much detail you put into your work, and the way you paint gives it such warmth.
