Continuing the theme of Halloween, I've done a temporary mind map to visualise the concept and figure out how I can relate this back to reactions. How I can use these sources to elicit reactions, even.

Disrupt Research 12-10-23 - Statement

For the Disrupt brief, I decided to focus on the disruption of Irish culture and language.

The Irish language survived as an oral tradition so I felt the best way to explore this visually was the mouth.

As a primary source, I used photos of my own mouth and my friends mouths for reference to start off. I used actual dentures and researched a dental laboratory for further primary research.

The work of Francis Bacon was my jumping off point in terms of the types of imagery I'd like to create. His work is visceral and grotesque and has inspired me immensely to convey the brutal history associated with the erasure of the Irish language/ culture.

The work of Spicebag has influenced me to take a more satirical direction with my project. His work is scathing, commenting on the state of things without holding back which is the kind of energy I'd like to bring to my own work.

Aideen Barry's mulit-faceted work has moved me to create more moving image based work like animation and video. Not only is it a way to continue my exploration of different media, but her work also grapples with similar themes as mine such as cultural disruption and Irish identity.

I created some thumbnails for possible routes I could take for this project.

Francis Bacon's interest in the human mouth also links in quite well with my project so far.

Pin up genre choosing.

To begin the start off the judge a book by its cover brief, we mind mapped and discussed our thoughts on how to come together and categorise the genres into different design choices and story telling. Shown above is our mind map we came up together in groups to give us support with initial ideas of our book cover. We then proceeded to pin up the boards up on the wall to discuss it further with the class.

3 reasons why you might want to consider using miro or mind-mapping for your plotting & character needs

if you're a forgetful person like me and hate clicking through 2093 tabs of software to find out why Character A hates Character B (for the third time), mind mapping might just be your solution.

you can simply chuck research into one group like this for reference later

2. everything about this story is consolidated into one board, at a glance - relationship dynamics? zoom in over at the character map. plot? zoom in on the post-its. it's really useful when i hit a block and need to refresh my memory. by stacking post-its according to chapter/plot order you can also indicate to yourself what happens at each "chapter", even off-screen, to get a full sense of the plot:

3. you can draw complex relationships between characters like a mindmap, ensuring you don't forget why Side Character A exists. because of its visual nature you're forced to condense their relationships into key words like "hates", "working with", "betrays", "falls in love with", so immediately you know the crux of their relationships. of course, detailed profiles are still useful, but this is great if you just need to jig your memory while writing.

4. you can also use frames to organise your thoughts and it's really easy to find them later on at a glance. plus, the board is infinite so you don't need more than one board for each story. i currently use it to hold all my multichap story planning

and well... that's it, really! maybe give it a try if the usual plotting isn't working out for you.

I’ve seen you mention scrivener I think? Would you recommend it for writing/are there any other programs you like?

I highly recommend Scrivener -- it's been a massive learning curve, admittedly, but it's really helped me work on developing my story a lot further than had I stuck with a simple word processor.

For my writing, I use Scrivener for the actual drafts, as well as organizing my notes and creating an easy bible for my worldbuilding and future story goals. Eventually, I hope I'll be at the point where I'll also be able to use it to format for future publishing. [Someday!]

In addition to Scrivener, I also use Aeon Timeline to keep track of my timeline! When you're writing vampires, it's important to keep track of dates. It's been a really helpful tool in working out a lot of my backstory, and the mindmap function is fantastic for brainstorming, at least for me. (I know @renthony uses it for some of their research info as well)

Those are the two main programs I use now, in addition, of course, to Spotify for playlists, and entirely too much pinterest for inspiration.

I also have a just-me discord server (or three) that I use to write down, well, basically every thought and vague idea I have about the story and wider world. That isn't super well organized though, and I'm bad about putting things in the right channel and not just whichever one I open the app on. So, y'know, tread cautiously following in my footsteps on that one.

If you get your PhD, what would you like to focus your research on and what would you like to do career-wise? Getting a graduate degree in history is my dream and I love hearing what other people want to do with it!

Thanks for this question! Unsurprisingly, it has been the subject of much consideration.

For the research, I'd like to combine my love for 18th century and enlightenment history with the methodologies used in digital humanities – essentially, applying more quantitative methods to the historical data we have, to uncover patterns and insights that may not be apparent in studies with a qualitative focus on a person, event, text or other narrower perspective. (I'm an excel nerd.)

If I had to choose today, the project I would do is a social network analysis of European queer figures in the second half of the 18th century. Basically, it's a process of creating a linked mindmap of people and defining the connections between them. Who knew who? Who corresponded with whom? Presuming that, like today, queer people sought out communities of like-minded folks, what does that suggest about others in their orbit? Can we redefine how, and how broadly, homosexual acts and identities were tolerated or accepted? And so on.

As for career... good question. I currently work in academia (on the administrative side) and I'd like to stay in the system. But that depends on whether I could find the right job, and if that was a good fit for what husband (also an academic) is doing at the time. But luckily that's all far enough into the future that I don't need to worry about it right now!

ooomg super interested in Ch2: 24 hour free trial and Shou meta of course Shou meta *chef kiss*

Ch2: 24 hour free trial

Ooh one of the eclipse project (an ageswap fic) ones!

*drumroll* The title is a LIE muahaha! The doc actually has BOTH chapters 1 and 2! Because at first I liked the title as a chapter 1 title cause the double meaning of it being the first chapter the readers try so it's the trial period of the fic B) 

but alas, it has to be divided ;^; (can't figure out where yet so stuck together in the same doc for now)

Chapter 1’s title is cryptid sighting: Shigeo has escaped from a government facility and is found by none other than Hoshida Origo (tome’s friend from reigen manga), who gets him to tome (“I found a cryptid!” “That's not an alien so go put it back-wait a minute”)

Years later, Hoshida and Shigeo “work together” at spirits and such. Tome nags shigeo about why he barely does anything while hoshida does all the work. Shigeo-refusing to do anything not psychic powers related- tells her it's very rare to get jobs where his powers are needed. (“But that does sound like mob at all” exactly! >:) ) Tome tells him he’s not looking hard enough and bets she can find something supernatural to deal with in one day!

.

So anyways she tries out a cult meeting~

shou meta saga

!!!! My research! B^D

Shou's my fav btw

-Okay so backstory: at first I really struggled to arrange the shou meta so I made this shou centric mind map and it helped so much! Everything made sense after, couldn't have made this doc without it. Special thanks to the document outline feature too!

-Also both “ritsu post” and “mob projecting on spirits” docs started in the shou meta doc before i realised that i went on tangents and cut-pasted them to their own docs. (except a few things i kept in both docs) (“teru post” doc however started as tumblr drafts)

I wrote about almost everyone in that doc, shoutout to shou’s parents they sure gave me a lot of things to unpack :D

-And like okay so I kept finding the implications that shou would’ve sacrificed himself in confession arc and no one else ever mentioned it so i thought maybe i'm reaching maybe it's closer to a headcanon than a theory, but putting everything together in the mindmap and the doc I….yeah im so sorry in my defense im in pain too

-I have another doc named “shou meta saga posted” and cut-pasted the parts i posted but its not 100% accurate, but still, the original doc is now almost half what it used to be

Showing off part of the outline for “shou meta saga posted” *v*/ : (they can be found as separate posts on my blog) (excuse that one typo)

Word count in “shou meta saga”:

(shoutout to “shou takenaka parallels” and “shou mogami parallels” in the outline i see you and i will get to you) yess its still a wip and still editing T^T currently I'm taking a ritsu centric meta detour and will come back

Word count in “shou meta saga posted” :

DISRUPT

For this week, my original workshop got cancelled, so I joined Digital Analogue Digital last minute instead. For starters the tutor wanted us to think deeper about what our projects involved, so we did a mindmap surrounding a specific word. Because of this mindmap I got particularly interested in scientific models/diagrams of the eye, as that's where most of my headaches originate.

We were then told to make 4 concepts/thumbnails for a "final" piece, and the rest of the class would vote on which one they liked best.

While I was waiting, I wanted to take a look at the brain too, and where headaches originate from and what it has to do with the eyes. So I looked up some diagrams and researched what a cluster headache is.

So to explore this, I combined a brain MRI with eye diagrams. I particularly like how surreal it feels.

I hope to get more works done tomorrow.

Unlocking Business Growth: A Guide to the "100x Business Workforce"

FOREWORD

Drawing on 7+ years of research and a transformative nonprofit experience, "100x Business Workforce" author John Masud Parvez reveals a critical insight: people are the true infrastructure of a successful company. His passion for aligning purpose with profit ignited when he faced burnout while trying to scale his nonprofit. Traditional HR methods proved ineffective, leading him to develop innovative models and tools for fostering "micro-breakthroughs" that drive exponential company growth.

This book shares the stories of HR professionals like Sarah and Mai, who struggled with outdated tools and limited opportunities in a rapidly evolving business landscape.  It emphasizes that today's HR leaders must become strategic partners, driving business goals rather than just managing processes.

Who Should Read This Book:

HR professionals seeking to become key drivers of business growth

CEOs and founders who want to maximize the potential of their workforce.

Manager who wants to build up su

Perstar team in the company

Why?

John Masud Parvez wrote "100x Business Workforce" after six years of HR research. His own experience founding the non-profit VSHR exposed a critical truth: without the right people strategy, even purpose-driven organizations struggle. Frustrated by traditional HR methods, he sought a way to align passion with performance.  Combining his CIO and business expertise with lessons from mentors, he created innovative HR tools and models.  Applying these to VSHR led to rapid growth and impact, proving his powerful belief:

“People are the infrastructure of a Company.”

Business Breakthrough and Microbreakthrough

A company or organization needs to continuously create micro-breakthroughs by the workforce and leader of the company to build up the progressive momentum that finally takes a company to the next level in terms of business growth. A company’s HR department needs to constantly focus on people, expertise, and strategy to facilitate micro-breakthroughs for the workforce and leaders. The beauty is also the different expertise, people, and strategies required to facilitate different micro-breakthroughs at different business levels. That sounds like a puzzle, right? But you will find a vision, roadmap, approach, tools, methodologies, and templates to make that happen for your company when you reach the last page of this book.

Career Story of HR Professional

The book commences with the narrative of Sarah Nguyen, who initially excelled in her role. However, shifting industry dynamics, varying business levels, and CEO expectations shook her confidence and hindered her career achievements. The underlying issue stemmed from her lack of access to updated tools and guidelines essential for success in this evolving landscape. Additionally, the book shares the story of Mai Nguyen, who tirelessly endeavored to prove herself and even pursued opportunities in smaller-sized businesses to advance her career in HR. Despite her efforts, she faced challenges securing these opportunities as CEOs, COOs, and GMs sought HR leaders capable of actively contributing to business growth and objectives. The book emphasizes that to acquire such skill sets, HR professionals require access to a comprehensive toolbox and ample practice opportunities to effectively demonstrate their capabilities during interview discussions.

What type of HR leader are you or are you becoming?

In HR, there are four primary career segments that range from entry-level positions to more senior positions: advisors, service providers, and solution providers. This book provides, a mindmap of 8 types of CHRO as follows:

The Greek philosopher Aristotle, who was born in Stagira in 384 BC, is regarded as one of the most important thinkers in Western philosophy. He studied under Plato and afterward served as Alexander the Great's tutor. Once Aristotle said,

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."

This book will therefore lead you on a cooperative journey of thoughtful reflection and brainstorming that will increase your productivity. By actively engaging with the content, you will discover more about your personality, philosophy, strengths, and sense of self. Additionally, you will gain a wide range of pertinent skills that will improve your ability to grow both personally and professionally. By the time you finish reading this book, you will have a deeper understanding of your identity and values in the context of workforce transformation. You will also know how to use your newly gained skills and knowledge to get past roadblocks in the HR transformation process, pursue your goals with confidence and purpose. To identify the core strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities, the author has developed and shared the CHRO Expertise Scorecard, which is helpful. click here. This scorecard provides guidelines, a customized report, and industry benchmarks, and there are no fees for this.

Besides that, the book has different types of smoke tests to identify the present position of the HR departments. Here, positions mean how the other department staff, leaders, and CEO look at the HR department.

3P Principles framework to build 10x Workforce

Author-guided, we will leverage the 3P Principle framework, which will aid us in comprehending and addressing three fundamental principles for the company. This framework will serve as a valuable resource for guiding our next steps. So let’s start with the first principle

Principle 1:

What game are we in business?

The concept of an infinite game mindset in business comes from the book "The Infinite Game" by Simon Sinek. An infinite game is a game with no defined endpoint, where the goal is to keep playing and to keep others in the game as well. In the context of business, an infinite game mindset means focusing on long-term success and staying in the game for the long haul, rather than just trying to win short-term victories.

How does this create a blind spot for the HR department or manager? A human resources (HR), manager or CEO strategy lacking an infinite game mindset often focuses solely on short-term wins and immediate objectives, neglecting long-term sustainability and adaptability. Instead of fostering a culture of continuous improvement and growth, such a strategy may prioritize cost-cutting measures, reactive problem-solving, and rigid policies. This approach can lead to disengaged employees, high turnover rates, and an inability to navigate evolving challenges in the competitive landscape. Without an infinite game mindset, HR strategies may struggle to foster innovation, nurture talent development, and align with the organization's overarching goals and values.

Principle 2

How do you win the infinite game of business?

Think of growing a business like climbing a staircase. You've got to reach that amazing view at the top, but you need to take each step to get there.  Businesses need those smaller wins to keep moving forward. But, if you're busy trying to solve problems way up on the 5th floor when you're still on the first, well, you're going to get stuck.

Those first-floor problems don't just disappear – they'll trip you up later. So, the big question is: how do we figure out where we are on the staircase and tackle those problems head-on so we can keep climbing?

Principle 3

How do we solve the right problem at the right time?

First things first – businesses don't grow in a straight line. There are stages, and things like money, profits, and all that financial stuff are good indicators of where you're at. Now, every industry's a little different, and how fast you move depends on a bunch of factors.

But generally, we can define businesses in five common stages –  from making zero dollars all the way up to those huge companies generating revenue in billions. Let's break down each stage by how much money the business makes in a year. Our goal? Figure out what it takes to get a perfect 10/10 score and move on up to that next level!

In the above table, the author showed a table that is called the 10x business growth framework. This framework clearly shows what we need to focus on to grow our business in different stages. So as HR professionals, CEOs, and managers, we need to identify the priorities at different stages of the business. The framework table has stages. At each stage, we will develop the micro-aesthetic to propel the business forward. How to create those breakthroughs? This 100x Business Workforce is the toolbox that provides step-by-step guidelines, resources, and tools for HR professionals to create breakthroughs.

The meaning of Productivity

Author said:

Productivity is when the workforce is actually doing the right thing at the right time, done by the right people in the company.

An entrepreneur or business owner doesn't just sell products or services; they sell the entire business. They oversee its operations, while others, like the CEO, leaders, and executives, play key roles within the business. Think of it like a hamburger: while meat, cheese, and bread are important ingredients, it's their combination that makes the burger. Similarly, in business, each role contributes to overall success. Let's explore those roles with our Pro Business Hamburger  framework

Here is a business setting when we compare that with a hamburger, which we call the Pro Hamburger framework. Here are the roles we have in this framework

The bacon slice: CEO, is the one who is working on business strategies for growing the business.

The Beef: These are the muscles of the company who are the executives of the company, executing all the different functions and taking the business forward.

The Cheese: This is the manager, who is gluing together all the executives (beef) and ensuring there are no gaps between them and execution is done seamlessly.

Top Bun: This is the face of the company, which is typically called branding, but it actually represents the trust of the company. That’s why people want to buy the products and services of the company and want to join the company as employees.

Bottom Bun: This is the connection between employees, products, brands, and customers. This one acts as the frame for the whole Humbarger.

Tomatoes: These are the processes and rules in the company to keep it on the growth track. So these work as guidelines for how someone can work and take part of the company’s growth, success, operations, etc. 

The Game Manager: The HR department acts as the game manager, responsible for putting together the hamburger. This includes sourcing ingredients, ensuring they're added in the right order, sticking to the recipe, and packaging the hamburger correctly. That’s why, in this book, the author addressed the ‘HR department team members as ‘Game Managers’.

A game manager must master a few key factors to successfully deliver an outstanding game to the industry and shareholders. First and foremost, as game managers, we need to learn, understand, and support the CEO to garner their attention and endorsement. We must also focus on creating, onboarding, cultivating, and upskilling our leaders and effectively executing their strategies. As game managers, our mission is to develop trust, establish rules and processes, and foster connections among the CEO, leaders, executives, company products and services, and customers. The pressing question then arises: how can we accomplish this effectively and efficiently as game managers? This is precisely what we will explore throughout this book in the upcoming chapters, along with acquiring all necessary resources, tools, and support.

10x Workforce Equation

The author provided a valuable scorecard to identify and assess any company's or team’s productivity level. The scorecard is here

The book demonstrates the equation an HR leader or professional needs to create in the business to facilitate growth. Because this is the equation that clearly defines the lever an HR department can create inside the business.

The author described that we have ultimate leverages in this equation. By focusing on the talent, we can always onboard talents, encourage them, and build a bigger team as well. And there is no limit on this.

Winner Workforce = High Talent (10x)          X High Skillset (10x)

On the other hand, we can always upskill, reskill, and add new skills to our workforce based on our direction and business strategy. And there is no limit on this as well.

Winner Workforce = High Talent (10x) X High Skillset (10x)

So when we do both in the right direction, we build a winning workforce that takes our business revenue to billions of USD.

So now the equation completes like this:

Winner Workforce = High Talent (10x)          X High Skillset (10x)

To make the equation effective, the HR department needs to focus on the four factors: character traits, skills,  and business system.

The transformative cycle in the loop

The whole idea behind the "HR Transformation Toolbox" book is that it's not a one-and-done deal. It's about this cycle of learning and doing. You read chapters 2 through 9, get those big ideas, and then use the tools and resources in the book to actually apply them in your company.

Think of it like a continuous loop. You improve a little, then learn some more, then improve again. With each cycle, your team gets better, you tackle bigger challenges, and the whole business moves forward.  We call those little improvements "micro-breakthroughs," and they add up over time. The "100x Business Workforce" book is your guide for this whole process. It's got everything you need to make those changes happen.

This way of thinking is inspired by experts like Peter Senge – they're all about businesses constantly learning and getting better.  That's how you create a company that can adapt and really thrive!

Win Award to Build Credibility

From the research, the author found that 70% of HR initiatives are lacking the right amount of support from the CEO. So the HR department needs to demonstrate the credibility of the CEO and other business leaders to win the right amount of support. So the 100x Business Workforce Book inspires and provides a step by step process to win an HR award. There are many HR awards, but the Pro Alpha Award is an award that directly recognizes the different transformative HR projects and honors HR leaders and professionals. The details of the award are here

What you can have from the book:

Since 2019, the author has dedicated approximately five years and 5000+ hours to writing this book, undergoing around ten editorial reviews before its first edition was published. He invested this considerable effort because the author aimed to create a comprehensive toolbox resource for HR professionals and leaders seeking to transform their company's workforce to unlock its 100x business growth potential.

The author personally doesn't enjoy reading a book that only gives me a lot of theories without clearly explaining the steps to execute them. So, he made sure to include lots of research insights, practical tips, tools, frameworks, and actionable steps, along with the big ideas in this book.

This book is not about just reading and understanding useful concepts. Because

In this book, '100x Business Workforce,' the author also included a helpful memory hack to ensure you remember and apply the concepts presented. You will come across quotes in various chapters that, when used in your work, act as keys to unlock mental models.

Bonus and Priority List Benefits

This book also includes scorecards and templates in different chapters. You can use these resources at no additional cost in your workforce transformational endeavor. The book will be available by Q3 2024, with a limited number of copies. There will be a raffle draw among the wishlist participants, and 20 participants will receive additional tools, parks, a 1-1 coaching session with the author, and many more surprises.

Hi! Hope it's all good, I wanted to ask you what software you use for your edits I've honestly no clue where to start but I've loads of little clips of yours saved :D

hiya!! im so sorry for the delayed answer, i swear tumblr doesnt give me notifs about my inbox im fuming. this is quite long so the answer and some editing tips are under the cut! please feel free to reach out if there's something that doesn't make sense or if you ever need any tips or help!

i personally use adobe after effect 2020 with some plugins! most people would probably use adobe premiere pro for compilations like the ones i do but im WAY WAY WAY more used to after effect due do making daily fancams/edits in the past (i do not recommend doing this btw- got burned out after doing it for about a year LMAO). so for example if you're interested in making edits like this or this i'd go for after effect but if you wanna make stuff like this or this, premiere pro is probably the way to go, even if i use AE for both 😭

adobe products are very expensive and you need quite the computer for it to run it without crashing all the time so if you dont have the resources or want to dedicate some time into researching turrenting + vpn and how to install it properly + the plugins on top of learning a pretty confusing (at first) program i'd recommend capcut! it's a free phone app and ive personally never used it, but ive had a lot of mutuals before use it and it looks great and pretty simple to use once you get the hang of it.

learning after affect is extremely frustrating i wont lie, but it's probably the best software if you want to do complicated stuff or simply just get smooth slow mo that you often use in edits! it's worth it in the end after you get the hang of it! there's a lot of youtube tutorials out there and i'd love to help with settings and keyframes if needed!

using AE can be a little bit of an overkill if you're only looking into trying editing to see if you think it's fun and worth the time it takes, so phone apps is honestly an amazing start to get into it. i just decided to go 120% out of nowhere due to getting a hyperfixiation on deciding to learn how to edit and doing it in a more "professional" way and potentially become an editor in the future -> which did not happen. or well. i did end up having a tiktok account with 45k followers when i posted a lot of my edits of shows that i liked but i was potentially thinking of becoming a yt editor or maybe work in media more. however im a burned out nurse student now LMAO

personal tips when it comes to editing;

i use while editing is to make a mindmap or simply just write down key elements you want in your edit to make it easier and prevents you from having to redo your edit (which is painful).

to make the edit "run more smoothly" make sure to fade the clip to be more dark at the end and start the next coming clip with a fade from dark to light. learning slow mo can be tricky in any app, but if possible i use the same thing with clips where it starts faster, is the slowest in the middle of the clip, and starts to get to normal speed at the end of the clip to make the transition over to another clip seem smoother and not like a raw cut.

this might be more of a editing style preference but i always add a slight zoom (either in or out depending on the transition) at every clip so that it's not as awkwardly still. i also always add a slight shake that you cant really see unless you focus on it for the same reason as the zoom. i found that even if the transitions are extremely simple or not even there at all, these small things make an edit look way more "professional" and less choppy.

next thing is "just" to learn what transitions you like after that and dont be afraid to mess with settings, even if you follow a tutorial. its all about finding your own editing style and what you like more!

i download youtube videos using loader.to but screen recording also works! i download mine to make the fps be correct to match when im slowing down a clip but that might be a bit overkill. youtube4kdownloader.com is a great website to cut clips from youtube videos to download too! just make sure to use adblockers when using the websites!

also: editing takes a lot of time and dont feel discouraged if it takes long to finish one! once you have more of an editing style it becomes more of a routine the more you edit!

these tips can be used on any editing app (with the slow mo being an exception in some apps) but then again, dont feel like you need any of it and just go ham on whatever ideas you have! id love to see any edit of yours :D

#.asks #sorry. this is like an extremely long post for nothing AHAHAH #believe it or not but i held back a lot here PFFT
