STRAUME / FLOW (2024) — dr. Gints Zilbadolis

The response to my reaction at work was “what do you MEAN ‘for real this time’?????”

Great get online and go to a job board. Indeed, Linkedin whatever. Now you're gonna search for a role that's in your city, fits your qualifications, and doesn't seem like a bad time.

See that easy apply button? Don't hit it they just throw those in the trash. Now you're gonna want to go to the company's website and check their careers page.

Oh? That job doesn't exist anymore. Cool go back to the job board and find another one.

Great you found another job, you're on the company's career page and the job exists!! So you're going to need to make an account on the career page website. They're using Workday, the same site as the last job you applied for? Who cares? You need to make another account for THIS job's workday page.

Now you're going to upload your resume. That'll autopopulate about 15 boxes with everything on your resume, except formatted wrong and with tons of errors. So just go through and painstakingly check the dates on all of that and rewrite everything you already laid out in an aesthetically pleasing format on your resume.

Ok time for the cover letter, explain why this specific job and company are deeply important to you. You love their mission statement and wouldn't even laugh if their ceo was gunned down in the street. You'll really want to reiterate the things you just spent the last 20 minutes filling out on the resume section

(Remember to include language from the job description, people who work in HR are lower than dogs and they need patterns or they get confused.) Write about a page, but hey don't sound too desperate or robotic this is where they judge your character!

Maybe add your portfolio site at the end here, who knows if that helps no one has ever clicked mine haha.

Anywayyy time to hit apply! Congrats! You'll see that confirmation email come in and you should be getting the rejection letter in about 2 weeks. Unfortunately your resume didn't have the right buzzwords and the AI auto rejected you :(

Geto’s clothing closely resembles the ceremonial robes of buddhist monks during the Heian period. This Heian era is also known as the golden age of jujutsu sorcerers and when Ryomen Sukuna was recognized as the king of curses.

Coincidentally, the rise of esoteric buddhism in Japan also occured during the Heian period. Jujutsu Kaisen is deeply connected to buddhism, the most notable example is that quotation of Buddha by Gojo.

“In the Heavens above and on the Earth below, I alone am the honored one.”

Now let’s deconstruct Geto’s clothing.

i. the first layer: undergarments:

The undergarment (usually white) helps to add an elegant look, as the collar can be seen beneath the outermost layer. It is constructed of the tabi (socks), the momohiki (long pants) and the hada-juban (undershirt)

ii. the foundation garment: a folded towel is added to the waist area (for women it’s added to the breast area), the foundation garment helps to add some shape to the clothing

iii. the second layer: nagagi or the kimono foundation

iv. the third layer: the hakama ( either full-cut trousers or seperated skirt ) and the haori (hip or thigh length jacket)

v. the outermost layer:

We have arrived to the most interesting part of Geto’s outfit, which is the outermost layer.

The vest-like garment Geto wears is called the 五条袈裟 or the gojogesa.  The term gesa in China and Japan refers to the outermost layer itself. In the the later periods of Japan where fine fabrics were available these robes were made using strips of said fabrics. The distinction between these robes was by the number of strips, hence gojogesa = 5 strips of fabric.

Mexico City is full of cultural niches but young subcultures are hardly visible on the street - they melt in such monstrous population. Mercado del Chopo is a place that since more than two decades concentrates Punk, Ska, Reggae, Metal and other alternative culture movements.

We weren’t declared as citizens of our own stolen land until 1924. We didn’t get the right to vote (in all states) until the early 1960’s.

The Navajo and Pima/O’Odham (one of my tribes!!!) communities have been crucial in flipping this state. the Native vote in Arizona was MASSIVE - no doubt to the impact Covid has had on our communities there. I’m going to look at other blue-flipped states but what I’m seeing so far is that Natives have been critical for the Democratic vote regardless of voter suppression tactics designed to keep Natives away from the polls.

happy birthday, darling! (freddie mercury - 5 september 1946)
