Ruth (aka Red), 30, she/her. English by birth, Scottish by choice. Everything fine to reblog unless otherwise stated. I don't reliably tag triggers or spoilers because I forget, so if that's an issue for you, be careful/avoid.
Bi, cis, VERY white, sorta disabled, polyamorous, illustrator (art @ongoingart), Quaker, lifelong dork. My first word was 'Zaphod'. According to my (very biased) partner, I'm "a notable wit and raconteur." I'm probably NOT an octopus, several cats and a large snake in a human suit, but it's best not to check.
My piercer will yell at me for this bc it isn’t. strictly speaking. sanitary sterile or hypoallergenic. but I wanted to try safety pins so I filed the points off these 3 and put them through my existing lobe piercings. I can’t decide how I feel about it aesthetically though - I like the big pin in the bottom one but I’m not sure if it’s too much with all 3?
Oooh but. Horrible day bc my boss is terrible at her job and I have SEVERE SEVERE fatigue buuuuut. While I was chatting to the documentary filmmaker I was shepherding (because my boss hadn’t briefed her or fully agreed a schedule with her. because my boss is terrible at her job.) she said “oh hey I looked up you guys’ YouTube channel and watched a few of your other videos. Who did you get in to do the story videos last year? Was it like a participatory filmmaking workshop where you worked with a cinematographer to tell people stories? what was the process?”
and I. Entirely honestly. was like HAHA NO THAT WAS ALL LITERALLY ME
I WROTE THE SCRIPTS DID THE STORYBOARDING CAST AND DIRECTED THE ACTORS RECORDED AND EDITED THE VO SOURCED THE STOCK FOOTAGE DID THE ANIMATION AND EDITED ALL OF THE VIDEOS. 3 SHORT FILMS. IN 2 MONTHS.
my colleague helped with the shoot and my other colleague helped with the VO but the actual filmmaking was me start to finish baybeeeeee
and she was like 😱 seriously I just assumed you got a filmmaker in
and I was like 🤗 yep nah 🤗 just lil old me in between being 1/3 of the Comms team for a 200+ staff charity running 60 projects 😜
so. you know. my boss may be shit at her job but I have a timely reminder that I. am insanely good at mine when I’m allowed to be. eat my ass Catherine 😘
For those worried about the crew having to do a whole job just for one person, flight staff only get paid for time they’re in the air; if he’d cancelled, they wouldn’t have gotten paid for zip.
So in other words, he gave them an easy day where they can spend most of it on break, and also airplane staff should unionize.
Also the plane likely has to get to NC somehow so you might as well have fun with it
btw can’t believe they released the card for all in and it has ONE women’s match listed and it’s the fucking world championship and it is SECOND in the broadcast order. like one match off the bottom of the card, not counting the preshow. imagine if AEW had a MODICUM of respect in how they booked the fucking women’s division I’M SO MAD
They better announce a Kris v Nyla match last minute or I’m going to kill TK with my bare hands
tifu by waaaay overreaching myself. for some godforsaken reason my boss split the video shoot between two sides of the fucking city. so I took the interviewee from point a to point b. and then. bc I had been busy all day and my brain was fried. I went ‘ok I will walk back home. it’s only a couple of miles and that’s 45 minutes where I don’t need to be doing work’
friends I got halfway home and Physically Collapsed in holyrood park. still had work to do when I got back so I was like ok you know what. got my laptop why don’t I just set up my hotspot and finish the job real quick here on the grass then when I go home I can collapse
laptop dead. no battery.
so I hauled myself another ¾ mile home on an utterly destroyed and exhausted body. then I had to STAY ONLINE UNTIL 6PM TO FINISH THE WORK
I am still SO COVID fatigued I have only just got to bed bc I was too tired to do the fine motor functions required to get ready for bed until like an hour ago
I really wanted to conserve my strength for the punk festival on Saturday that I’ve been looking forward to for MONTHS. I need to be SUPER disciplined and strict with myself tomorrow and be gone by lunchtime tbh.
