I'm going in hoping it will be decent, but the little I've seen of trailers (which I avoid) felt kind of like a toned down, tamer Fallout than the gritty games...
It made me feel like it won't be any heavier than a Star Wars film, which will be utterly disappointing for a Fallout adaption.
I had mixed feelings on The Last of Us show, but at least they kept it adult and gritty. I so hope this Fallout series isn't some daytime PG-13 silly bullshit.
I read it for a social-cultural diversity class (it's not a textbook), but I would highly recommend White Fragility by Diangelo. Very eye-opening, perspective-shifting book.
Also read How to be an Antiracist by Ibram Kendi for a book report, and it was also a great read.
The main pic is totally a metal band made up of identical sextuplets.
PDF Gear is the free alternative I use. Adobe can ~~eat~~ read a dick.
If you want to become a better resource, I'd start by making more LGBT+ friends.
I absolutely agree with you and I'm hoping to do just that. I have trouble making/keeping friends in general due to life's inherent chaos. The older I get, the harder it seems to be to make new friends. In undergrad, I'd make good friends for that semester, and then slowly lose touch after the semester ended.
Being naturally introverted makes it a bit of a challenge too. I've thought about going to a local bar that isn't exclusively a gay bar, but it is very inclusive and popular with the local LGBTQ+ community. There's also a really great support organization downtown that welcomes volunteers, and I plan to pursue that for sure.
Just sent you a PM, thanks!
I think it's funny but I feel like PM vs DM demonstrates age range. I also say PM, but most people seem to say DM now.
I don't think you got carried away at all in your comment! I appreciate your feedback.
I plan on being trauma-informed and operating through a person-centered lens, because I believe everyone's story is unique. A counselor I interviewed said "We must have an insatiable curiosity for the individual's unique story" and I really liked how she put that.
I definitely hear you with the privacy concerns. What I did as an adult caseworker was have my notes coded in a shorthand that wouldn't make sense to anyone else. I plan on doing this as a counselor (as well as other measures), that way even if my notes were subpoenaed, it would require my testimony. This would allow me to choose what to say in order to advocate for my client, and insulate them from their progress notes being used against them.
Thanks for the encouragement!
I had such bad imposter syndrome as a caseworker, so I know I'm going to have it as a counselor as well haha.
I want to be as prepared as I can be.
I appreciate you sharing your perspective.
I am currently living in a Midwest city. Since it's a big college town, it has a mix of support and hate... The surrounding countryside is certainly intolerant. I was originally going to include that in the text body, but didn't want to make it too long.
I definitely plan on being up front about being an ally in my bio once I'm practicing. I plan on getting involved with a local LGBTQ+ youth organization downtown as well.
As for gender roles, I don't really support them. I believe in egalitarian relationships and gender fluidity.
I was disappointed he didn't end up with double gold, but double silver was still very impressive, especially given the size difference of his final 3 opponents.
Gives me major Inside (videogame) vibes.
