apply to odd Part time jobs, choose the weirdest ones possible

I’ve done this every time I’ve found myself between full time jobs and it really makes the whole time better. You have a little money coming in and you can collect material for your future memoir. Some odd jobs from my past: Axe throwing coach Closet designer Lunch catering delivery Balloon bouquet maker Background extra i found them on big job boards like indeed and also Craigslist (Searching “part time” gets you less garbage results). If you hate it after you start you can just quit! Also if you like pets, signing up for dog walking or petsitting will keep you active and you get to hang out with pets.

Unemployment

This goes against the grain of my anxiety riddled brain, but if you find yourself in a bout of unemployment I encourage you to lean in. From what I read, this very platform would not exist were it not for unemployment. Granted I know this perspective sounds like and is a privileged take, but just know I have no idea where next month’s rent is coming from. I find that the psychic terror of not making money creeps in when I’m most idle, so I try to do one or more of these things a day to keep that feeling at bay: - Walk my dog - Go to a museum - Research for creative projects - Make said creative projects - Call a friend - Go to the gym - Read a book or long form journalism - Cook - Clean my house Eventually I know that the capitalist grind will rear its ugly head, as it always does, but for a brief moment in time it’s nice to just shut the door on its face.

i accidentally deleted my message so i’m gonna speedrun this (i graduated in 2022) - it’s ok to do seasonal work. hiring ppl will understand. look for things that can’t be replaced by AI—camp counselor, food service, etc. anything that will give you a W2 and keep the lights on. - look for housing in your price range NOW, not what you’re hoping to achieve. it’s ok if that’s $0. depending on your city, you might have low-income resources. i lived in the projects for a year and a half after graduating, and it helped me get on my feet to start building my life. - apply to literally everything. you meet half the qualifications? apply. out of your city? apply. probably gonna be replaced by AI anyway? apply. it gives you a chance to practice. just stay away from jobs that ask you to do free labor as part of your interview. - goodwill helped a ton. depending on where you live, they might have free job training courses and fairs where you get to talk directly to employers. it at least gets your foot in the door. aaaaand that’s all i have lol. i’m rooting for you. shit’s rough out there. know your self-worth and look for creative solutions, i believe in you

Marcel the shell movie (2021)

This seems like a silly answer but this movie is all about grief and change and chosen family and how to do hard things and how to be brave when it all feels too big to fathom. youll laugh cry and feel a little more connected to humans and shells with human problems by the end

The easiest bread recipe ever (?)

I‘ve made this dough now for the fourth time and it’s truly the easiest thing in the world. It’s 5 ingredients and there’s no-kneading and no-deep-understanding-of-bread necessary. And it makes the house smell so yummy and makes everything you eat taste yummier with it
