🦋 WELCOME TO BLUESKY! I recommend exploring our custom feeds, which are a little like hashtags but more interesting. We have them for academic and professional subjects, sports, cities, hobbies (e.g., gardening, baking), and many more. Search them in the sidebar under Feeds. 🧵

I’m slow to do things right now, focused on myself now more than ever. We’ve been rushed to commercial success without nurturing our sense of self, without really understanding our self-expressive skills.

I’m struggling to articulate my message, so I’m crafting new tools for my methods.

There have been small, meaningful projects resurfacing. Real people emailing me about things I believed forgotten. It’s reassuring to know the care I put into my effort still reaches people.

As an artist, that’s all I hope for. As a person, that’s all I want.

a lot of it is residual wounds from previous employer abuse. It sucks to have to work through it. But it's the only way forward.

I def make sure to prioritize taking care of myself. But I see work as part of that... I won't work myself to death, but I need work to pay for what I need to live. :(

Bro I'm struggling with my disability so hard -- how do I not beat myself up. How do I believe in my capabilities if I'm not able to operate?

I really miss the “ intro+verse+chorus+verse+chorus+bridge+chorus+outro” formula.

I raise you Then and Than

uhhhh

Presidents Can’t Use the Justice Department as Their Personal Law Enforcement Agency The new administration is eviscerating post-Watergate efforts to protect the DOJ from presidential overreach. The case of NYC Mayor Eric Adams illustrates the results.

i dream of a world where Blacksky is more notorious than Black Twitter so users can get jobs bc of their content/virality too

OR they see a small site and creator has low numbers so they lowball them in their offer/budget.

Industry companies really overlook the importance of working with small sites & creators. For some reason the criteria is that they need to hit a special following number before they even glance in their direction, but even then, what's offered is free (digital usually) stuff, but no payment.

COME TO ME AND GIVE ME YOUR LOVE

Even when I DO disclose my chronic health issues OR LITERALLY GO TO THE ER FOR A FUCKING ISCHEMIC TRANSIENT ATTACK, NEED TWO WEEKS TO FEEL THE RIGHT HALF OF MY BODY, AND SEEK NEUROLOGICAL EVALUATION niggas are shocked. APPALLED, even.

bruh. what the ACTUAL fuck.

It’s INCREDIBLY ableist and abusive to blame the disabled employee for not speaking up sooner. Like?? How?? It’s not like we were dishonest. It’s our right to choose when to disclose our disability on necessity BECAUSE people see us as a liability/broken/etc.

It doesn’t matter who you are.

Every time I interview and get hired for a job, management is SHOCKED when I express I need an accommodation. Immediately following up with “you said you could do this in the interview”

“I expressed my capabilities, and now I see that I need more support. I could not have known this before.”

Dawg.

How to Give Feedback in the Translation Industry - J-En Translations Feedback is incredibly important in the translation industry. It helps people improve their skills and brings up the overall quality of work.

Whether you're a translator, editor, or project manager, giving feedback to your coworkers (and yes, I'm including freelancers in that) only helps to improve the overall quality of someone's work. But do it wrong and you could risk power harassment.

Handicaps and disabilities don’t just like…. up and walk away lol it took me FIVE years to get to this point. And i’m not all the way there yet. I’m close, tho!

i’ll never NOT emphasize how meaningful it is when people don’t punch you down and hold your symptoms/chronic ailments against you.

people who understand what it’s like to have an invisible disability and give you grace to do your thing ❤️

*disclaimer i didn’t have a stroke but i sure as hell thought i did the first time — it was an ITA

it KIND OF sucks to wonder if every weird smell is a symptom of another ischemic transient attack or is another stroke

and every day i’m reminded by the fixed vocal fry on the right side of my voice box.

So FUCK IT i’mma sing my heart out bc this rasp is so dope and I’m gonna live it up.

people who think DEI is a slur and we don’t need inclusive language to make people remember not everyone is like themselves:

bro that’s like actually pretty self-centered and closed minded of you. To HAVE an opinion on the rights of minority, etc. you must acknowledge we’re human beings among you.
