“You Have Already Left Kudos Here :)” Not On This Chapter Bitch Move Over

My boss, who is tall and thicker than a snicker and looks amazing, is dieting for her wedding next month because she wanted to do it for herself which I applaud but it's so restrictive that one day she told me she was out eating with her fiance and he had ordered a desert (something she couldn't eat part of her diet) and she started to cry until he threw it away and that really upset me. I'm a heavier person who's completely comfortable in my body and I respect other people's choices with what they do with theirs, but if it gets to the point where you're crying and your diet is impacting others' choices then that's not healthy.

I hope people know it's okay to eat what you love in moderation and finding that balance of diet and joy while on whatever journey they're on whether it's weight loss or gain or just trying to love the flesh bag they're navigating the world in.

fatphobia robs the world of all joy and I think the faster people accept that the faster we can like. Improve and progress as a society. I’m saying this extremely seriously. We have got to get past this. Fucking sick of it. People lose their lives and years to this. Whole generations were ruined by these ideas and expectations.

I shall pass through this world but once, any good thing therefore I can do, or any kindness I can show to any human being, let me do it now, let me not defer it or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.

PROSPECT FICS

Where the Sky Met the Sea (multi-chapter series) - Ezra x Reader (Prospect), rated E.

creating this mostly for myself for when i need this but also because several people have asked me how i find jobs! so here’s a list of seasonal/outdoor work job boards for yall/my future self-

coolworks- this is the “staple” job board- it’s lighter on the conservation side and heavier on the seasonal work- think more housekeeping, guest services, etc. but it sometimes has good stuff and is a great way to break into the outdoor job world! also if you’re ever in a housing pinch, they have a section of jobs with housing, which is a great way to escape your living situation if you need.

texas a&m university- this is a natural resources job board & conservation specific. lots of volunteer positions & lots of openings for biology things.

conservation job board- what it says on the tin. also contains some more ‘indoors’ type jobs that are still conservation- think grant writing, etc.

usa jobs- anything government. you need an account and a usa jobs specific resume.

good food jobs- more farm/food jobs and less conservation. if you have restaurant experience you’ll find stuff here, but it has a lot of farm things too! seemingly constantly updating. you need to make an account to apply.

backdoorjobs- coolworks but more obscure and a little harder to navigate. things seem to be better paying on there but stuff is posted less often and stays on there after the position’s been filled.

farm and ranch jobs- what it says on the tin.

agriculture careers- this is ag jobs but much more career focused, and you need to make an account to really view anything.

farm job list- what it says on the tin.

farm job search- what it says on the tin.

good luck and happy job hunting!

Season 3 Finale Predictions

Okay ya'll, we're half an hour away. Here are my predictions:

[ ] Paz survives

[ ] If Paz doesn't survive, Din adopts Ragnor

[ ] Bo-Katan tries to ride the Mythosaur and fails

[ ] Grogu, Din, or Boba rides the Mythosaur

[ ] Din finally calls Grogu his son after a near death experience

[ ] It's revealed that Bo-Katan had planned on turning Din and his cult over to Gideon for Mandalore and the Darksaber but changed her mind and the siege was a plan to double cross Gideon

[ ] Bo-Katan dies but convinces Din he's worthy of the darksaber and ruling Mandalore during her "Swan Song"

[ ] The Mandos survive the Siege but have to camp out on Navarro into Season 4 or they decide Nevarro is a better place to start over

OR

[ ] Or Mandalore is blown up and they all start over on Nevarro until they figure out where to go

[ ] The whole galaxy shows up to rescue Din from Sorgon to really obscure characters who only showed up once before but you're expected to remember

[ ] Bonus: characters who show up to help are from completely different movies and shows that should absolutely not be showing up to help yet here they are

[ ] Cobb Vanth shows up and no one comments on his new robotic limb

[ ] The Armorer drops a huge truth bomb that explains her shady behavior without being the true anti-hero of the season

[ ] Koska is the whistleblower

[ ] The episode will have the action we've been craving with the storytelling we deserve but ends on a cliffhanger that will be a month long shit show "discussion" on Twitter and Vlogs/Podcasts

[ ] Season 4 comes out 6 years from now

[ ] The episode hints at Din somehow being a future mentor to Rey in the upcoming movie

[ ] An unnecessary subplot written in just to serve as a segue into Ahsoka or any of the other upcoming Star Wars but adds nothing to Din's show and story

Thoughts on Episode 7

Spoilers below the cut so read at your own transgression.

Am I the only one disappointed by this episode? It was the best of the season, but I still felt like a lot of subplots leading up to it were just thrown away.

Like I still don't get Paz's son subplot. He didn't act like a scared parent until they got the nest but if that had been my kid after a few days I would be burning the whole planet down to get to my kid. And for Paz to choose to sacrifice himself once again orphaning his foundling... either Paz has NO fatherly instincts or this wasn't thought through.

I also keep side eyeing Bo. It's great she's admitted to some of her failings but she should have let Koska spill the beans about her crimes cause so far it seems like almost everyone is in the dark as to what Bo has done in Clone Wars and Rebels and it's giving me a lot of anxiety. I'm glad people want Bo's redemption but the sins she committed aren't the kind you just... forgive overnight no matter how much you love her as a character.

I do applaud them for writing in her third failed attempt at taking back Mandalore by proving her curse exists for taking back the saber on a technicality. But I'm still unsure of how they didn't know the base was there when they put together a whole fleet for just that reason and Bo's home was destroyed by those same TIE fighters. I don't get why she's shocked.

I might be being overly critical thinking about this, but I just didn't like it as much as I had hoped but it's exactly what I had expected and longed for at the beginning of the season. Still excited for next week, but at this point I feel like I'm tapping out of the show if it continues like this next season.
