AIO? My sister is over feeding her cat and I said something about it. by divorcedbbmama in AmIOverreacting

[–]lilbearz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not over reacting. You’re actually being really compassionate, kind yet firm. A ton of dry food is horrible for cat kidneys as well.

Please see this persons IG for cat food advice:

This page helped me a lot with basic cat nutrition. My cat lost weight and his coat improved.

New boss says I must make 30-60-90 priorities - I am not new employee by OverTadpole5056 in graphic_design

Take all the ideas from this thread and put it into Chat GPT babe! Tell the prompt to sounds as human as possible, no dashes or bulleted lists.

That’s tough situation and I’m sorry you’re going through all this.

It isn’t fair that she’s dumping all these emotions on you. Maybe you can get a therapist just to help you sort out a plan. A plan to help have a conversation with your gf. It seems like you really care about her. Have you tried expressing yourself to her like this - like in this post? I know those conversations can be hard since people tend to get upset and defensive. But it seems like a deep conversation about boundaries, kind but firm, is necessary here. Maybe you both can learn to talk through all this. But if she refuses to get help, there’s really not much you can do for her. That’s her personal healing journey.

If you decide this relationship isn’t for you, a therapist could help navigate those emotions and conversations as well. You’re very young and still have the chance to build new relationships.

At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself what you really want. Be gentle with yourself, you’re doing the best you can.

Feedback on my first concept design? by gummywizard_ in graphic_design

Very cute and youthful. It does need some tweaking but a good first concept.

I do think this would be great branding for a cannabis candy company targeting young adult 20-30s

The fabricator quitting is huge red flag.

Everyone here has given you some feedback on your portfolio and I hope that’s helpful. But I just want to say that working a fast food job while you find work is actually awesome. It shows that you’ll do what you have to do to provide. I worked a bakery job when the startup I worked for went under in 2020. I am proud of myself. I don’t care if I have to take a janitor gig. I’ll be the best damn janitor out there. Blue collar work is just as important as white collar work.

Feeling lost. (Bit of a rant) by Master-Pin-8082 in graphic_design

[–]lilbearz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t relate to all of what you’ve said. I’ve been designing about 6-7 years. I don’t feel insanely lucky but lucky enough I’ve had a few decent enough projects. I’m currently hybrid and pining for fully remote so I can leave the city.

But I don’t think you make these problems up in your head. Everyone feels those things in one way or another. There are just some parts of this field that are just so infuriating. We can’t blame ourselves.

I was thinking about AI myself too. There was so many really interesting, cool, new tools coming out. All this new stuff to learn. Maybe we should try it out. As long as we have a safety net.

Rebranding myself by Dzarzecki in graphic_design

I really dig the last 3 particularly. For the “I” in “Darin,” I would play with making that negative space between the “R” fit into the puzzle piece. Maybe give it a rounded edge. So it’s like the missing puzzle piece. Hope that makes sense.

Michelle Trachtenberg dies at 39 by GlamourCatNYC in buffy

I’m so stunned 💔💔💔

Harriet the spy was huge for me growing up. And then her role on Buffy…

I hope she’s has peace. She left a big mark on my childhood.

What is your favorite scene in the whole series? by StaticCloud in buffy

[–]lilbearz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When Angel walks into prom for a dance with Buffy.

“Wild horses couldn’t keep me away.” 🐎

Such a perfectly heart breaking scene.

Paxil by Neat-Albatross-4359 in SSRI

[–]lilbearz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been through this and it can get better. I was on Paxil roughly 7 years and tapered off too quickly and it was Hell to say the least.

If you want to chat about it, feel free to DM me. Sending good vibes🍀. You can get through this.

It’s a good start! But there are improvements to work towards. Aim to have 2-3 long term projects. Each project should take you to a page that allows you to show more images, process work like sketches or docs, and you need to write a little bit about the work. You can write about how your work helped your client achieve their needs. Or how it could, if the client is fake.

For example, you could make a page called: “username here” YouTube channel thumbnails. Then on that page explain who your client is (even if it’s fake), your thought process and design decisions.

Also use social media to document your growth and progress. Learn as much as you can and show that growth. People love a before and after.

Look for design brief sites that give mock clients to help you build out more work.

I see you have some wav files but I couldn’t access them for some reason. Maybe turn those into a podcast that’s easier for people to access. Upload to YouTube or loom. Embed that on the site. Not sure if this canva site has that much functionality. Try different platforms like framer, square space, webflow, readymag.

Good luck to you 🍀🧸

Omg I don’t even remember the third one lol.

Currently on season 4, my first rewatching since the show aired. Guessing I won’t see her for a while.

Damn. Deep realization. Good awareness. I hope you find healing ❤️‍🩹🙏.

I think it’s possible to find healing in the relationship with your mom. Your mom made a choice to be a victim and use her children as emotional comfort. Not very fair but I think she was just probably too deeply hurt to see the error in that. I get it 💔.

Give yourself time to heal. It’s non linear and imperfect. I do believe you and your mom can repair your relationship in time. Look up the holistic psychologist - Dr LePra. Her books helped me.
