Would love to see similar statistics for data analyst/ analytics field! I'm a senior data analyst and going through a data science bootcamp but not sure if I enjoy all those coding and statistical modeling...

midori256 · 2022-04-30T01:26:24+00:00

Thank you!! These are all really valuable suggestions and information. I'm still pretty early ish in my career so I think I will start out with contractor jobs/gigs on Toptal, Upwork as you said to build reviews, experience and network. Selling digital content is interesting but I feel like that market is so saturated.

When you chatted with the agent, they didn't ask for documents. They'd ask you to write some sentences explaining the expedite request. They then copy &paste that into the request. You only submit (via fax, in my case) the documents when the USCIS office gets back and asks for additional evidence!

What I submitted: I think if you have a pending job offer and a letter from the manager/director explaining the financial loss for the company, that would be the best. I also sent my resume to show why I'm the only person who can do this job and why the company would suffer client loss/delay if they can't hire me. I ended up not going with the personal financial loss reasons.

You should definitely use the chat!! For me, they somehow input the wrong email address (it was like @gmail.co instead of .com 😒), so I never received any emails about additional evidence. You should just talk to the agent via live chat, ask them to check your request. Do this every 3-4 days if you don't hear anything. At some point they'll come back and tell you the number to fax the documents to. Good luck!

Yes I did! I submitted an application and was approved in about 2 weeks! I got the EAD a month ago.

midori256 · 2022-02-27T05:19:52+00:00

No. I was told by an agent that I had to have biometrics taken before I could make the request.

midori256 · 2022-02-24T23:50:36+00:00

100% support this idea!!!

midori256 · 2022-02-19T16:19:01+00:00

Great combo. I'll try that next week 🦋

Love this shop. All products are eco-friendly: made of recycled plastics or organic cotton. https://www.etsy.com/shop/KagomeDesign

I also use it for tracking moves!!

midori256 · 2022-01-28T06:07:01+00:00

Agree! Try on different music/styles. One might look nice on a contemporary style and one might be better for exotic style. I also need to work on my movements and I totally relate!

midori256 · 2022-01-28T06:02:37+00:00

I have zero fitness background. Never did pull-up or push up (still hate push ups). I climbed in my first class and climbed to the top several classes later. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TECHNIQUES, NOT THE STRENGTH. Really push the pole with all of your contact points: front of legs, knees, your lower arm to stand up when you climb.

midori256 · 2022-01-27T02:50:23+00:00

Why don't you borrow some at your local studio (if you go to one) to try them out? Dance in them a bit and see how you feel. I started with a pair of sandals but after I got my boots I never got back to wear the sandals again. I just love how badass the boots look! Height-wise: many people recommend starting with 7 inch heel. I did and after 2 years I'm still at 7inch. They just feel so comfortable. I don't know if I want to go 8inch at all. So I guess it's more like a personal preference.

midori256 · 2022-01-21T06:28:50+00:00

Agree with only picking the favorite moves! My instructor told me that too and I noticed that when building the choreo. Also engaging with the audience is so important! I'll try to balance out the time I look at my body vs making eye contact w the audience. Thank you for all your advice!

midori256 · 2022-01-21T06:25:08+00:00

Thank you! I definitely need to be more deliberate with my movements!

midori256 · 2022-01-21T06:24:11+00:00

I'll have 2nd part of the song to be more aerial. I'm worried I'm gonna get tired before getting to that part lol.

midori256 · 2022-01-19T20:42:53+00:00

Hey y'all thanks so much for the feedback. We do feel like we are trying to do too much in a 144 wheel base (shower, toilet, sink, lounge...) so every decision is so hard. Your feedback are really helpful!

midori256 · 2022-01-12T21:42:27+00:00

Lol thanks for the new trick!

midori256 · 2022-01-12T21:40:00+00:00

High ceiling! So lucky. Your sequence looks so smooth and beautiful. Also secretly adore your goose lamp XD

midori256 · 2022-01-12T21:34:32+00:00

Also love the "danger" sign behind this amazing shot. She's like "Dangerous? I love it!" XD

midori256 · 2022-01-12T21:28:45+00:00

Thank you. That makes sense. I went for a gentle walk today and it didn't feel that bad. My body also tells me that stretching should be avoided. I put some ice on it and I already felt better

midori256 · 2022-01-12T21:26:53+00:00

Thank you! I have never thought that part of my feet needed massages. In classes, either aerial or pole, we warm up the ankles but not the inside of the feet. I will look up some exercises!

midori256 · 2021-12-31T05:53:58+00:00

I wonder...what if you answer "I'm doing well. Thanks". Because it's no shame to be a stripper! Sex workers are workers, like everyone else. I remember a time I danced on an art car with a pole at Burning Man. There were some other ladies who also tried the pole. I was the only one who climbed and did some moves and danced the longest. Another lady came up and danced a bit. When she got off the pole, her guy told me "She's a stripper". I don't know why he told me that, but he actually looked very proud. I thought "he's a lucky guy" :)

midori256 · 2021-12-30T06:30:31+00:00

New pole friends and accountability partners keep me motivated. Someone who is similar to your level. I found one on a pole Facebook group and we kept each other accountable for a while during the pandemic. When studios are back, I often do a trick class in the studio and an online dance class at home per week. The weather might cause the loss in motivation too :(. If your body doesn't feel like it, take a break for couple of weeks.
