It’s Good To Be Derivative

Over the years, I have developed what I call my photographic style. It doesn’t mean my photos are good, just that I found what pleases me and what works for me. And that’s what I do. I don’t do this professionally, not even creatively, so I don’t feel the pressure to be different.

1. You and yourself form your being. But by that, what am I meaning?
Dualism is moot, no schism is true,
and identity's not all it's seeming.

2. Post-cholecystectomy [ko le sis tek toe mee]. This back pain will be the death of me.
"Right shoulder pain" became "mild strain"?
Docs ask how they're "enemy".

3. Counselling Level 3 coursework at this point feels like mild torture.
How can I stand 'Review Action Plan'
when my options send me to torpor?

4. UPR, ethics, and feel what you notice (for therapy, real).
Set forth Carl Rogers, Person-Centred's starter.
Humanistic counsell -- his whole deal.

5. I say Integrative Therapy
mixes together all three
approaches today taught in the UK:
Per-Centered, PsyDynamic, CBT.

6. Level 4 is the min you need right now to practise therapy.
You can still joke out quite a belter, as long as your role stays "helper".
One more word for client: "helpee".

7. For me, relearning MMA (medical-wise) has stayed "nay".
I have no energy, nor makeup on peak.
Who knows? Maybe... one day...

8. Just like spoiling a plot, repeat triggerers get blocked.
You ought aim not cause harm, if wish you to spare alarm.
Or... had we forgot?

9. Through others do we know ourself?
With lovers, we learn what we're dealt.
Your bodymind chooses which traits it loses,
plus those for which you far delve.

10. Sometimes you can guess your traumas. Meds' side effects include nausea.
Bothered ye to get yourselves through.
I never unlocked Bozja.

11. You can not make me start work. Although I feel like a jerk.
My tutor awaits the far-past-due date.
On this seat, I stay and I lurk.

12. Nonbinary goes known. Get up here, come, have a go.
"Are you masculine?"
"Are you feminine?"
Robot, femboy, and crone!

13. Gender is what your brain be, while expression is acting, you see.
Attraction to parts, updates and larks.
Oh no, sexuality!

14. Asexuals may be or not queer.
All aces stay welcome here.
Agender folk face too many jokes.
Aromantics write slash fics or jeer.

15. It's okay to ask for help. Whether or not you feel well.
While systems are limited, your needs stay existent.
We need to thunderclap-yell.

of course, you can pick locrian (the "darkest" mode) or lydian (the "brightest" mode) and use those as a reference, too. for example, six sharps starting from locrian can get you to lydian through all the other modes (5, 2, 6, 3, 7, 4) and similarly, six flats can get you from lydian to locrian through all other modes (4, 7, 3, 6, 2, 5), with Dorian in the center. so the symmetry of the Dorian mode occurs not only in its intervals but also in its modal relationships #theory #music #musicTheory

Do you know of any self-organized, bottom-up, locally-rooted educational organizations?

I am asking this because I am talking intensely with @ceci about ideas and dreams we have for our home city, #Sanremo, Italy.

We are both coming to the conclusion that an autonomous, independent, cooperative, critical, and deeply rooted university is one of the very very few projects that could give young people in the area a real chance not to emigrate.

As we are also both deeply in love with fringe academia, it would also be the only reason for us to somehow maintain a bond with our homeland.

Please, boost and share this, and send us any kind of suggestions! We particularly welcome Italian initiatives.
