Interview with a Human Services Professional paper: Completed and turned in last night!

Interview with a living ceramicist paper: Completed a few days ago
Accompanying PowerPoint presentation: Completed today! turned in with the paper

Still to do:
  • Tweak the game I made for Social Problems, due Tuesday (basically done, then just needs printing)
  • Write the accompanying paper, due Tuesday (there's a template that's basically a walkthrough, I'm not too worried)
  • Personal Mission Statement for Intro to Human Services, due 2pm on Friday (not started, but I have the most time left for this)

    Intro to Human Services:
    Interview with a Human Services professional: Done
    Reflection paper on interview, due Friday, Dec 5: Not started
    Personal mission statement, due Friday, Dec 12: Not started

    Social Problems:
    Research a particular topic as a social problem: Done
    Do a creative project based on your research: Mostly done, needs touch-ups
    Write a paper about your research topic and your creative project: Not started (has a very detailed template I can probably just fill out as the paper)

    Ceramics:
    Interview with a living ceramicist: Done
    Reflection paper on interview, due Sunday, Dec 7: Mostly done Done!
    PowerPoint Presentation on interviewed ceramicist, due Sunday, Dec 7: Not started

    I'm going to try and get the one interview reflection done tonight, and then take a break. (I'd aim for both, but they're both minimum two pages, and I'm not sure I have enough juice for that.) I want to go ahead and make the Paid Time for Mood Themes announcement on [community profile] moodthemeinayear, but alas, I must use my brain power for this, instead 😩


    Edit: First reflection paper is done! Time to dig out my notes from the other interview and contemplate at least starting the second one.

    Edit 2: Intro to HS reflection paper started, basics of getting paid time for mood theme completion posted to [community profile] moodthemeinayear 👍

    Ah. So. Um.

    I have just been officially gifted a whoooole bunch of Dreamwidth points to reward as I see fit to participants at [community profile] moodthemeinayear, just to encourage more creativity and participation and stuff. With instructions to ask for more if I run out, and also to encourage anyone who makes a qualifying mood theme to consider submitting it to be site-supported. (And also I'm maybe being informally recruited to be the/an official Dreamwidth mood theme uploader person???)

    I need. To take some time to think about how I would award these points.

    (Initial idea: One month of paid time for anyone who completes just the Minimum Track, three months for anyone who completes the Medium Track, and one year for anyone who completes the Maximum Track, but like. Given that the community is supposed to be low-stress and low-pressure and allow participants to drift in and out, maybe I should instead do "One month of paid time for each Part/eighteen moods completed"? And then throw in some bonus paid time for anyone who completes the Maximum Track and/or submits a mood theme to be site-supported? Hrrrmmmmm...)

    Cloudy Daze Mood Theme

    Dunno when I'll be able to submit it for consideration as an official mood theme, but in the mean time, here's a preview: 117 Cloud Moods )

    Anyway, if you want to get a jump on things, here's a downloadable .zip of all of the above moods, plus a super secret alternate version of Quixotic!

    Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

    The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

    The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

    Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

    On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

    Social Problems Projects

    For our final project in Social Problems, we have to pick something we think is a social problem, find research on it, then turn our findings into a creative project with accompanying one-page paper.

    Luckily, the paper has a very thorough template where pretty much all I'll need to do is write one sentence per prompt and I'll be done; I think I've done okay with picking my problem and doing my research, so now what I need to do is to turn said problem into a creative project.

    The problem I've chosen is infosec/(lack of) privacy in the age of Big AI; I think I'm going to make a board game about the dangers of not having secure information?

    I'm planning to go very simple: A space-by-space game board (think Candyland), and movement by D6. Part of me really, really wants to go over-the-top and come up with a token system (when you land on a marked space, you draw a card, and based on that card you either pay or receive a Privacy Token; the goal would be to make it to the end of the path with the most tokens, and if you lose all of them, you're out of the game), but that's probably too ambitious for right now.

    Honestly, I'll take something closer to a Snakes and Ladders approach, where landing on a marked card has you moving forward or backwards extra spaces depending on whether the space has good or bad infosec practices. I may still need to look up some game theory to figure out how often I should place which spaces, but it's much less than if I go with the cards-and-tokens route. Probably less fun as well, but this isn't exactly the only final project I have to do this semester...

    Anyway! Time to come up with a list of good and bad infosec practices and think about where they'd need to appear on a board game!

    Leftover Feelings

    [personal profile] soc_puppet
    My brother's family is out of state for Thanksgiving, so my parents and I didn't really plan anything big. My dad ultimately made reservations for us at a hotel restaurant to eat at their Thanksgiving buffet, and it was pretty darn good; I ate enough to fill me up, but managed not to make myself sick, so I'm taking the win!

    I also made sure to leave a thank-you card for the staff; while normally I figure that's the least I can do for someone whose work I'm taking advantage of on a federal holiday, today it came with an extra observation: I noticed that a lot of the attendees were elderly and/or disabled, which makes me actually appreciate the existence of Thanksgiving dining-out opportunities. It's probably pretty damn hard to make a Thanksgiving meal by yourself if you've got a twisted ankle or are over eighty years old! So, while I'd written the card ahead of time and didn't really have room to write more, it may be something I include if we do this again: A specific thank-you to the workers involved for making it so some people are able to have a nice Thanksgiving meal, without inadvertently harming themselves. An important lesson for me to remember.

    All that aside, one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is the leftovers! And since we didn't make our own Thanksgiving meal, we have nothing left over. So I took it upon myself to make a double-batch each of green bean casserole and stuffing. (Also because Dad has been accumulating stuffing kits for months now, and if we don't make it for Thanksgiving, when the hell is any of us going to make it, huh? I didn't want there to still be four boxes of Stovetop stuffing plus two bags of some other more complicated to make brand of stuffing in the cupboard come Christmas, dammit!) And now there's plenty of leftovers of each for us to graze on over the next few days ✌
