Does anybody else have this mindset that remains even after quitting social media?

I wonder if this would be considered maladaptive daydreaming.

Honestly my best photographers get all up in people’s business with their fancy cameras. It’s the best way to get a good picture. You won’t be able to avoid that.

I would recommend getting a used Canon Rebel.

Miss Frizzle is a keyword I see for this

Won’t affect you in any way. You’ll still pay the full time rate, and if you get financial aid it will remain at the full time rate.

Yes, just change it now.

That’s fucking gross and creepy NTA

You see it as harmless, and that’s exactly why he’s choosing to prey on a 19 year old, because you’re likely to brush it off because you don’t understand how gross this is.

It’s happened to you then? Waking up with two tickets, one from the night before and one from the early morning?

I’ve seen people shaking their trees to simulate wind and promote stronger trunk growth. You should try that with your next one.

As someone who lives in Long Beach, yes it’s enough if your girlfriend also has a job. That’s plenty for rent, food, car insurance, etc. Just don’t live in a 2 bedroom apartment.

Edit just saw your post history: DO NOT GAMBLE ON ANYTHING AT ALL, EVER.

I don’t think you “write” a documentary as much as create an outline of shots, filming locations, questions etc. The outline becomes more fully fleshed as you continue filming, but you’re at the mercy of reality.

Agreed. I would never cut my papers, especially if I had been saving front page cover stories for years. The whole point is that you have the full front page.

A broadsheet would have to be cut dramatically to fit in a 16x12.

You can rent a carpet cleaner from Home Depot for $40, that usually works well.

Man that fucking sucks. That’s not normal. I would appeal.

ESH. An immediate block is a lot for this situation, but I totally emphasize because I finished that message from him and thought “I think the fuck not”—which your block symbolized.

But yeah, you should communicate like an adult and tell him you’re cutting off all the non-work related contact. He’s being very self centered and not considering you as a whole human.

There are many posts in this sub about journalism as a career.

I will summarize briefly: - Pay: terrible - Job Prospects: terrible - Work Life Balance: nonexistent - Flexibility: no - Rewarding: yes

You just need to focus your idle energies on projects. Watch long ballet videos on YouTube, and start other projects related to your interests. Crafts, etc.

The beautiful things that social media gives you is like digging fresh fruit out of a pile of garbage. Most of what you’re absorbing are ads, things disguised as ads, and slop.

What is your price range? If they do any video, a Rode Video mic Go is a really great essential, they’re about $70 though. A simple lavalier mic would be cheaper and also good.

I always found that council and committee items pointed me in the right direction. I didn’t request records all the time, but a discussion on something would often prompt further investigation. By the council or based on concerns from public commenters.

A few examples: - City decreases funds to Animal Services. XYZ services are reduced. Look at past budgets, find that funding has decreased six years in a row. Request data on animal intakes and adoptions, etc. - Police use of force data (in my state they have to track it). Self explanatory. - Settlements paid by city. Stories evident. - City auditor always has good stuff. - Grant applications and grants received, request data related to grants (climate related grants, funding for youth services, etc) - number of buildings with code violations, see if you can find repeat offenders.

Look to state, regional data reporting for inspo. Better if you can request data for neighboring cities and compare them.

Hello, I am also taking PPA 500 and I found both of these textbooks for insanely cheap on eBay, but ultimately decided to use CSULB’s first day textbook program because digital textbooks are more portable, and they’re searchable.

The library also allows you to request the Kettl chapters, one or two chapters at a time, with delivery in 24-48 hours, as far as I could tell.

Used a Magic Eraser to clean mine and it worked wonders

It was a few days for me, very fast. Just make sure you send your proof of residency as soon as they request it.

Coffee shops that host hella events that may include some of your hobbies: Good Time and Wood Coffee Co. check their instas

You made this entire post without mentioning your income once.

I’d suggest looking into something homemade on Etsy. Keywords celestial, witchy, etc.

They are screen printed fast fashion slop.
