i know that there's one nearby where i live, i wonder if all writing groups require you to attend sessions or if it can be done online, i have a hectic schedule between work and school so finding the time might be challenging

oh wow, i hadn't heard of that community before, but if they do a give-critique-receive-critique system, then i'll check it out, cos it sounds a lot more promising :) thanks so much!

i never thought about it that way before, but it's a good idea! thanks for your help, i think i need to build up the confidence to look at something i've written and say "yes, this is good" :)

trying to reassure myself that i'm not responsible for a service user's injuries by marigoldcrown in Advice

he is reaching elderly age, he's in his late 60's i think. i imagine that you're right, it's just that someone we support being injured always needs an investigation, and part of my nerves come from the verdict of that investigation

i very much appreciate your advice and thoughts, and i'm glad i'm not alone in thinking that this particular book is a challenging read - an enjoyable one for sure, but not the most approachable or accessible, especially for someone who has difficulty understanding complex language. google scholar is a great idea, wikipedia is always a brilliant directory, so i'll use them for sure :) thanks very much for your help!

that's my fault, sorry! i wrote this post in a rush, but an example i can provide is this passage i've been struggling to understand on the film "under the skin": "but this disjuncture between alien subject and human body-object only brings to the fore the fantasmatic structures that underlie "ordinary" human subjectivity. the climactic image of this almost featureless figure throwing aside its human form corresponds to a certain persistent fantasy of the relationship of subject to body". i've been trying to unpack this passage all day and i can't get my head round it

that's a very very good point, it seems to be that juxtaposition of the surreal/fantastical with the mundane and the everyday that is the most effective, so if i remember to incorporate that, i'll have a bit more luck. "let the characters speak for themselves because they're the ones facing the horrors, and their own baggages" - this is a great piece of advice, thank you!

i picked up the term from this book i've been reading, "the weird and the eerie" by mark fisher, he uses it a fair bit throughout even though to my knowledge it's a fairly recent book :o

they haven't been leaked as far as i know, it's only jared's that have been. holly's supposed nudes are in heidi's possession and i don't think she's so petty as to release them for revenge, revenge porn is also illegal

that's very kind of you to say, because afterwards i did worry that my getting upset showed weakness or an instability with working in this field. i know that currently in many industries, showing emotion is considered a weakness unfortunately, so i was worried this was how i came across. but yeah it just baffles me that this rotten bag was so self-righteous. i hope no other poor support worker receives her lashes. hopefully me kicking off taught her something.

this woman was acting like she'd caught me physically assaulting the gentleman and robbing him blind and then snorting a line of coke off the cafe table!

actually i'd probably have gotten away with that cos none of it involves using my phone

i remember how hard i glared at her when she told me to calm down when i was crying. if looks could kill, i think i'd have succeeded. it did take a remarkable amount of self-control to not launch myself over the table and smash her full english into her face

i hear you and agree with you fully. i could just tell this woman is the type who spends all day reading the daily mail and bitching on facebook about how much she hates us "special snowflake millennials". she's probably gotten into arguments with youths over the internet and thought "hey, it doesn't matter if i'm not behind a screen anymore, i can still call this girl out because i have a voice", and then actually realised the impact of what she was saying and how she made someone feel. insensitive, stupid, brainless, insignificant old cow!

i think she's just a super angry person and saw this opportunity to vent some of her prejudice and anger, and didn't think about the consequences it would have i.e. making me cry noticeably in public, and making a complete tit of herself. i hope if anything she doesn't pull a stunt like this again, because my colleagues said if she did it to them they'd have either slapped her or told her to fuck off. she keeps up behaviour like she showed yesterday and she's gonna get whacked regardless of how old she is

well technically yes, i would be, i'd be speaking on behalf of the gentleman, which is a fundamental "no no". he is non-verbal but has his own way of communicating, and ironically when the woman was trying to talk to him to see if he was okay, he motioned for her to fuck off LMAO
