and then on the day of the show, my friend asks, "where is the camera I requested?"

gallerist: "you didn't request a camera"

my friend: "I did, and you confirmed that you would have one here."

gallerist: "that isn't true."

and then she proceeded to pull up the email thread, and my friend could see that every single email they had sent had been summarized by AI, and that the gallerist had then had AI write a response to them based on the AI summary, and that the AI had detected that they needed a camera, and confirmed on behalf of the gallerist that they would bring a camera, but because the gallerist had offloaded the work of actually reading and responding, she simply hadn't actually made any note of it herself, therefore didn't bring it, nor did she even know one was needed.

Spidey doesn’t really look himself…

Had this idea since may…worked on this in small increments since the beginning of the month and now its done yayyy

Im excited for bnd, im pretty sure i booked myself in a seat so that im third wheeling the couple next to me 🤪

I do not have to reinvent the wheel every time I write fanfiction

I do not have to make every chapter's word count above 1,000 in order for it to be good

It is okay if some things don't make sense

I can write whatever I want

I am writing this shit for free

If people don't like my stuff, they can block me. If they're being mean about it, I can block them.

The most important part of writing fanfiction is having fun

Writing fanfiction is supposed to be fun

I do not have to appeal to people

This shit is fun

He watches Jayce run himself ragged between the Council and the lab, attempting to both stick his hand in Piltover's core while also pursuing research on Viktor's behalf. He probably watched Jayce lose sleep over it, watched him pull away from other people for it (c'mon now, we all know Jayce likely didn't have time for much like his mom or Caitlyn during that period), all while being convinced their 'life-saving research' will go somewhere.

Viktor gets to witness all of it, and he stays quiet, because what else can he do? He wants to live too. He's known that his disease would likely take at least half his life off the block, but he *wants* to live, damn it. He wants to pretend that Jayce's efforts will actually go anywhere.

And maybe he does have some kind of hope for it. At first, at least, the hexcore is actually working. Shimmer is working. Until it kills Sky, and he can no longer support his own survival if it means the potential to hurt or kill another person (let alone someone he adored as much as Sky).

I can imagine him contemplating his suicide attempt. I don't think it was as much spontaneous as Jayce's was (sure, it could've been a part of it) but it seemed planned in advance. He chose a secluded spot, overlooking Zaun, from what I remember, in a place that no one would likely find him for some time. Viktor was hesitant because he knew this was coming, unlike Jayce that fully embraced the idea of killing himself on a whim to avoid his life falling apart.

I can, also, imagine his realization that he cannot die on his own terms. Because Jayce is here, because he knows Jayce *needs* him here.

But he also can't keep letting Jayce chase the false hope they both had, because it'll only make his death worse. He can't let Jayce try something he knows he will, because it'll only end up hurting someone. It already killed Sky.

So he tells Jayce to break the Hexcore, not only because Viktor is terrified of what its capable of and hates what its done, but because he can't let Jayce think it isn't over. He needs Jayce to start processing the inevitable while Viktor is still alive.

I was trained in the dark arts of the cover letter by my mother, who is a hiring manager. And her training has paid off: I've been consistently told my cover letters are excellent. Let me pass on the wisdom.

The job of a cover letter is to give a prospective employer strictly more information than is on the resume. This is where you take the resume contents and put them into context. You look at the job requirements (you are looking at the job requirements before applying, right?) and look at your resume and ask the question (in your head) "why would a person think this candidate would be good for this job?" and your cover letter is the answer to that question. If you don't answer that question, the hiring manager is going to have to do it themselves, and you have way more information to work with than they do.

This is especially important if you're moving from one industry to another, because then the relevant connections aren't obvious. It's also very important if you're overqualified, because then you can use the letter to say "I know it looks like this job would be too entry-level for me, but I'm interested to pursue it for reasons x, y, and z". You can also use this space to explain away something that might otherwise be disqualifying, like job-hopping or a long break in employment. The tone to strike here is always matter-of-fact and constrained to topic - don't go into detail about health stuff or personal tragedy, just tell them what they need to hear: that this period of your resume was affected by [bad thing] but that it's now in the past and you're looking forward to the next chapter. Remember, one of the things they're trying to learn is whether you'd be content in this role, or whether you'd be miserable and leave after 2 months, which would force them to do all the work of hiring again. You're trying to establish that you will fit right in and not cause problems. Knowing what drew you to this job in particular (and don't just say 'money', that's true for everyone) helps with that.

"Looking for my partner, with my partner!" - PART 2

When you're going to change the world, don't ask for permission.

Random Au idea; Miraculously, the Blip-A crew survive, but at the cost of their travel time, making it so they arrive at Tau Ceti around the same time as the Hail Mary. (Don't think too hard about it)

Grace now gets regularly hassled by many Eridians, all of whom can hold multiple conversations at once, unlike him.

just spent twenty minutes scrolling the tag and giggling

This has probably been said before but I just noticed it on my very first rewatch and had to share to process. SPOILERS FOR ARCANE SEASON 2 BELOW
