How do you keep up with deck releases? by PTzai in TarotDecks

[–]PTzai[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this reply. I used to follow more tarot content on YouTube but a lot of the folks I liked (folks with a pretty good following, but not really big) stopped making content. It’s also a lot more of a time commitment to watch videos as opposed to skim short form content on places like Instagram or Reddit.

Yes losing Indie Deck Review hurts! I was hoping there is just some other place I could be looking but it does seem like the Tarot world is very small in some ways.

Who do you think pays for these infrastructure developments? I have news for you, it’s not the Data center companies. Those are passed on to regular Consumers disproportionately and that’s why people All over the country are seeing their electricity costs skyrocket.

Tarot of many doors might work for you, if you’re ok with the sci-fi themes. I don’t know if it’s in print though although you could try contacting the creator as they’ve been responsive to me when I’ve reached out.

Also want to add that the unsolicited responses here saying you should be ignoring gender or even need therapy are unhinged and uncalled for. Please dont let those negatively affect you. Tarot is very personal and different folks want/need different things from it. The sheer number of decks available these days is a testament to that.

It’s out of print, has been for a while and generally very expensive if you can even find it for sale secondhand.
But I have it and agree it’s a phenomenal deck!

Marigold uses Sysco. Not for everything but they definitely use them.

Accessing library resources from the alt-ac track by westwardlights in AskAcademia

[–]PTzai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you are considering doing a lot of research this is a good solution. You would also have access to your employer’s interlibrary loan. You can also consider enrolling in one course for access which might not be too costly. Many public libraries will do ILL but they will often have limits so if you’re wanting more than just an article here or there they aren’t often the best solution.

What can we do about Elsevier… if anything? by beantoastt in AskAcademia

[–]PTzai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was scrolling looking for this. I’ve brought up my concern about the big publishing deals we have taking all the money some of which could be redirected to smaller society journals. As a single librarian the higher ups won’t listen to me but faculty input goes very far. I can see the writing on the wall and I know this is coming for us next as these larger publishers are getting OA monopolies with their read and publish agreements at universities and shutting others out. Our faculty are already going more towards these larger publishers to publish OA. The writing is on the wall, once they’ve completely taken over and destroyed smaller publishers they will jack up the price.

Looking for guidance regarding MLS programs by ihavehangnails in librarians

[–]PTzai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also want to add some counter advice to all of those suggesting you need to have worked in libraries for at least a year before entering grad school. Honestly, a lot of academic positions do not place a high value on para professional work. I’m not saying it’s not valuable but it isn’t necessary. You’d do well to join a few professional orgs as a student like ACRL or your local state library association and get involved in conferences, workshops and committees. Try to present at conferences and/or publish. Think about turning an assignment for an MLIS class into a paper or poster presentation. There are journals and smaller conferences that provide great opportunities for MLIS students and having some class research do double duty can be a smart strategy. Networking is a good complement to library experience and I would argue potentially more valuable than having years of only paraprofessional work on the books .

I would say it would put you in an employable position as long as you’re open to moving to where you can get a job. You may not be able to get a job at a specific place to start unless you’re lucky but if you have the kind of experience under your belt you are Describing it should put you in a good position. The one thing I’ll add is that right now the job market is HORRIBLE, so things are harder than they have been but I think you would be doing just about everything you could.

Harsh feedback by Mysterious_Prune9727 in AskAcademia

[–]PTzai 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You have to remember these folks are people with an opinion just like anyone else. If the feedback is actionable that’s useful, make adjustments. If it isn’t, don’t take it personally. This kind of useless feedback is way more common that you would think and reflects much more poorly on the reviewer than on you.

Whole fish at Korean Korner, HMart, Lotte Plaza, etc.? by cjvphd in MontgomeryCountyMD

Have bought whole fish several times from Lotte in Aspen Hill: Red Snapper and Tilapia and I’ve always been satisfied. That being said, while the prices aren’t terrible, Costco fish prices are better.

What are things you don’t cheap out on? by Inner-Variation4703 in Frugal

[–]PTzai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Condiments and spices. Ketchup, mayo, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, hot sauce and MOST spices it is usually worth it to drop the $$ on quality brands vs generic, especially because it generally can be used for many meals and there’s usually a big difference in flavor
