Jaron Seth Bloshinsky / Jazz Jennings / I Am Jazz - Puberty Blockers: Not Even Once

So still no drop out arc, at least. If "y'all" can find some more Jazz content, feel free to "stan". Sander tends to end up in here because he's an interesting car crash and doesn't really have much of an identity outside of "Jazz's brother" (although I think is changing with the pivot to being a life coach since Jazz has been away). He did just post a boring article on SMART goals, but used it to share his alluded to 21 goals -
17eba6e8-4c2f-4e8d-9780-574df637f5f2.jpg
His atrocious handwriting is a bit hard to make out, but I gave it a go:

Fitness: 5 weekly physical activities, turn off phone for 5 hours per week, open up about struggles to one person per week
Finance: Save 5k per month, track all monthly expenses and diversify assets
Family: Call family 2x per month, call or see grandparents once per week, show up to all fam functions early and turn off phones
Field: 3 monthly income sources over x amount of $ per month, provide consistent value & education through career & source (?), find public speaking & influencer representation
Faith: One weekly blog on Smile with Sander, Meditate 3x pe4 week, yoga 3x per fortnight 2x per month
Friends: See Ash 7 days a month, 5+ year hangouts 1 per month, leave apartment (?) once per week in social setting
Fun: No guilt: one trip per month, Sports 2x per week, One big fun event per week

Obviously he has failed to actually use SMART targets here and also he only filled in 20 stickers. Frankly I think "Get an office job at one of Greg's friends' companies", "Go to therapy" and "Delete all social media" would serve him a lot better, but that's just me.

AGAIN I say: Sander is so bad at what he's supposed to be doing it isn't even funny.
I already sperged about his shitass digital marketing, now I get to sperg about his shitass project management.
SMART, for those of you who haven't had the absolute pleasure of having a teacher or a boss who took one training on management during the 2010s and decided they're an expert now, is an acronym. It stands for:

What Sander has made is not that. It seems he bought this kit from a company called "Oola Life" but no one actually sat down with him and taught him how to do anything. Let me redo a few for him.

Could be:
  1. Track all monthly expenses using a budgeting app and review expenses for at least 5 minutes on the last weekend of the month to ensure there are no transactions I do not recognize.
  2. Buy at least one (1) share of either a specific stock or an ETF at a price of between $5 and $500 between the first and last day of the calendar month using an investment app like Robinhood.

(How the fuck did you even read this, @AssignedEva?)
  1. 1x/week find a comparable influencer or public figure that has given a speech or performed at an event for money, track these posts in a spreadsheet with the link, tags, tagged sponsors, and any users/accounts that were included in the post.
  2. 1x/week spend at least 30 minutes online seeking out agents, etc. track contact info, sites, and influencers they represent in a spreadsheet.
  3. 1x/month write an email to an agent/representative to request representation. Email must include contact information, value offered (with specific numbers), and at least one reference to previous work from that agent or their talent.

Also, Sander writes like a drunk.

You know, I think all the Jennings kids have fallen victim to the boomer-style "My child is special"-itis of parenting methods, where the parent thinks the child is inherently good or smart or whatever, and then never actually teaches the kid anything, or helps them overcome challenges, or helps them grow. "My child was born special, so I don't need to do any work." sort of thing.
This leads to the children feeling rudderless, but also ashamed to reach out for help or guidance because that would mean they're falling short of their parents' expectations of them.

God, he sounds so insufferable to be around. I'm not saying people should clam up and that they should never tell their friends or family when they're having problems and need support, but if you're struggling so much that you have to open up about it to someone once a week, then there's something deeply wrong. Either you're a big baby that thinks every minor inconvenience is a "struggle", or if you're actually fucked up and have a bad life, you need to seek outside help and get your shit together.

Keep in mind this is on top of his blogs where he "opens up" already. It sounds like all he talks about is his problems. Which, to be fair, he probably is traumatized growing up in that family and on national TV. But still. Imagine being his girlfriend and having to have 2+ session a week about his feelings and his trauma and also having to read his blog posts. That's bedroom killer fuel right there, no wonder she has so much alcohol.

Sander's marketing is basically trans struggle sessions. He's there not to help you grow your brand, but rather to make it more "inclusive" with the goal of making it grown because of it.

Think about this: he's trying to sell small businesses something that big corporations are reconsidering to keep investing on because they're losing money. Disney can still get loads of ESG money no matter how many terrible remakes they keep making, but small business don't have that. And yet, Sander is still paid at the end.

Most corpos taking this approach to "diversity" and "inclusivity" are not getting better nor are their products become better either. People keep consuming them by inertia, but at least in my experience, they're in fact becoming worse because the people working now there are worse.

I suppose some people will hire Sander because he's a "celebrity" and because they think that will help them to sell more, but Sander's the Disney equivalent here. He's a brand and he gets promotion because he worked with TLC due to Jazz. The only thing Sander can do is to ask Jazz to promote a brand, and still, Jazz ain't as popular as people think. Has any brand sponsored by Jazz has ever get out of obscurity? I can't think of any one. I remember he even promoted some back-to-school stuff and that's it.

Sander, particularly, seems to be trying for the pity marketing: "we're diverse, and we all have struggles, so hire us and buy our products". That's not differnet from the people who goes to many buses here selling candy and telling you their background story so you pity them. Your workplace isn't your therapy session and it's not your family either. Go to work, get a good payment, go home where your actually family is. There is something marxistish about the idea that your workplace is the place for you to feel like "home". It should be a place to work in good conditions, but it's not your fucking home or family.

Interesting that he's wearing a shirt for once. Someone must've told him it might not be a good look to be prancing around half naked with what appears to be a small child. He wouldn't have realised that himself, as he has zero self-awareness.

Hello, frens.

I have recently started watching The Sopranos. The premise, for those who are not aware, is that a mobster goes to therapy and gets on Prozac. It's a very good show but hot damn I forgot how clogged with "therapy" language the 1990s were. There's a whole specific cultural moment that it takes place in and it manages to be in the 90s, of the 90s, and eternal all at the same time.

Sanders' post was depressing and it brought me to a realization:

This little fag has grown up in two overlapping postmodernist milieux: therapy and troonery.

Therapy is full of words for concepts. Troonery is full of words for concepts.

Some of the concepts (and therefore the words) are good and useful, some notsomuch.

For example, "transference" is when someone seeing a shrink catches feelings for or otherwise becomes fascinated with the shrink. "This person is uniquely warm and compassionate and nurturing and understands me like nobody else in my life and their personal life must be a model for my own personal life if I myself wish to emulate these qualities and blah blah blah." It's a real thing and Tony Soprano has it.

Freud developed the concept of the id, the ego, and the superego, and maybe these are useful ideas to entertain, but they are a metaphor or a model of how the psyche works, nevermind the debate over whether any such thing as the psyche exists.

The word "gender" is a model for seeing and describing the world, too. There's "gender" as a polite euphemism for "sex." There are ideas like "gender presentation" or "gender roles" that even the cakiest TERF would agree are useful concepts. And then there's "gender" as a whole Genderbread golum of shit. I personally do not believe that people have a GENDER inside them any more than I think my mother has an id.

This is all postmodern in that the word "gender" itself contains all these different meanings that overlap in some contexts and wildly vary in others, and so when use the word, I am invariably using it as a secondhand for other words. It's like mapping a star in space by measuring where it is to other stars. It's like describing your mother by measuring how she relates to other people in the family.

Where this wheels back to Sander is that he's very adept at using words that direct towards other words, and he's bad at using words that have plain, everyday, object-in-physical-reality meanings.

The Jennings are liberals through and through. They need to believe in some authority established to defined their world. That's why you see many of them believing in The Science™ or University™ as the final absolute problem solver.

Therapists are The Science™ and went to University™, hence, they are the absolute authority about mental health and their words define everything better than anything else. Sander talks about positivity because it's therapy speak. He doesn't really know what it means, he understands that it means to be cheerful all the time.

That doesn't mean that Jazz doesn't need therapy, but he needs actual therapy, not progressive modern therapy.

Yes...but only in the way a parrot can learn to repeat sounds. It doesn't know the actual meaning of them.

Yes, the dichotomy of the American Liberal Jew, forever worshipping the Golden Calf.

Because Sander is aging as rapidly as a wax candle left in the sun, it's incredibly obvious when he uses old footage or photos. Despite continuing to post about Kinsey, I don't think he's seen her since before the pandemic.

No they are absolutely not the equivalent of white trash. They’re something else. I know because the Jewish equivalent of white trash is ultra Orthodox Jews in Israel. They live in illegal settlements where the men sit around and read the Torah and Talmud all day while the women spit out 12 kids. The liberal Jews in Tel Aviv and Ashkelon look down on them the way liberals in NYC and San Fagcisco look down on people in the Deep South.

An ultra orthodox rabbi would look at the Bloshinsky family and blame them for the October 7th Black Saturday attack and the Holocaust.
