I've applied to a bunch of NYC government jobs today
Jul. 10th, 2025 02:20 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
conulyJust went through the website and applied to everything I meet the minimum qualifications for, for what good it may do.
They could, in theory, save my information from one application to the next. They don't do that. They could also not require me to answer "where did you hear about this?" every time - but the joke's on them. "I went to your website and clicked on every job where I meet the minimum qualifications" is not an option, so I've just been lying and saying "hiring event" because that's the first choice. They will get no useful data from me, no thank you!

The absolute worst thing about the state of the world
Jul. 9th, 2025 08:59 amconulyis the constant whiplash between panic and popcorn.
Right now I'm hovering over "popcorn" - new political parties? With added drama and infighting? LOL, okay, let's see how that works out for you!
(Look, I need a break from panic now and again, and I will take my fun where it appears.)

Well, that was unexpected and unpleasant
Jul. 6th, 2025 06:43 amconuly( Though, upon reflection, it's surprising that this hasn't happened before in 30+ years of menstruation )
I'd say that was the worst thing to happen this weekend, but then I glanced at the news, and how do things keep getting worse? I thought we might at least get a reprieve over the holiday weekend, Congress would all go on vacation and not pass any terrible bills in the interim, but I guess not.
I'm not linking to it, not today. I know how to take a break, even if they don't. Take this article on amenorrhea instead.

Jul. 3rd, 2025 10:21 pmhamimi_fki.e. Me!
I'm about 50% less angsty and in my feels now! Got a new laptop (that I bought myself - used but a beauty nonetheless). I have a job... as my mom's caretaker, but I get paid for it, so win!
It's crazy that I haven't posted in such a long time but I was in a shit headspace for a while there. Depression is a bitch, ya know? I'm no better by any means, just kind of learned to let go of what I can't win. Playing video games helps, too. A Lot.
I don't fangirl as much as I used to, but I miss it. I have much fangirling to do about Genshin Impact and My Hero Academia. I'm not sorry about it, lol.
Oh! I've been reading a lot lately. I discovered the ability to walk down the street and read a book on my phone. Sounds impossible but it's the best time for me to get my reading done.
There's other things to say, but mostly I wanted to say hi!

A Song on the End of the World by Czeslaw Milosz
Jul. 3rd, 2025 05:00 pmconulyOn the day the world ends
A bee circles a clover,
A fisherman mends a glimmering net.
Happy porpoises jump in the sea,
By the rainspout young sparrows are playing
And the snake is gold-skinned as it should always be.
On the day the world ends
Women walk through the fields under their umbrellas,
A drunkard grows sleepy at the edge of a lawn,
Vegetable peddlers shout in the street
And a yellow-sailed boat comes nearer the island,
The voice of a violin lasts in the air
And leads into a starry night.
And those who expected lightning and thunder
Are disappointed.
And those who expected signs and archangels’ trumps
Do not believe it is happening now.
As long as the sun and the moon are above,
As long as the bumblebee visits a rose,
As long as rosy infants are born
No one believes it is happening now.
Only a white-haired old man, who would be a prophet
Yet is not a prophet, for he’s much too busy,
Repeats while he binds his tomatoes:
There will be no other end of the world,
There will be no other end of the world.
Warsaw, 1944

Speaking of fictional lawfirms, we finished new Matlock
Jun. 30th, 2025 04:29 amconuly( Season finale spoiler )
During the Christmas episode we saw the firm's acapella group, which might have just been an excuse to highlight one character's amazing singing voice. Anyway, they were singing White Winter Hymnal, and I'm going to just post two quick videos, the original version and a different acapella cover:
(Those lyrics can't be entirely right - surely the pack is swaddled in their coats, not swallowed?)
Anyway, you'll notice that in the first one they weirdly pronounce "the" with a "long e" (the vowel in pee) before the words "white snow". Does that strike anybody else as a weird place to do that?

Crossover time!
Jun. 29th, 2025 07:48 pmconulyI was looking up fictional law firm names and you know how Angel has the evil law firm Wolfram and Hart? Apparently NCIS has Wolfram, Hart and Donowitz. No word on if they're evil. Are they evil?

Jun. 28th, 2025 07:49 pmconulyThe set and costume designers heard about blue-and-orange color schemes and just decided to run with it. I swear, they bought out everything blue in the store. Even the post-its are blue! And what isn't blue or teal is orange, or tan, or gold.

Jul. 2nd, 2025 12:14 amconulyHow is it that we literally are talking on the internet, we have access to all the information, and people are still saying whatever bullshit they made up in their heads instead of taking a minute, a second even, to ask themselves "Wait! Is this even true?"
On a happier note, the newest episode of The Strange Case of the Starship Iris answered a question I thought we'd never get answered, which is "How on earth did Brian get a price on his head from three different mafias?" and - wow, beware the quiet ones, I guess.
