Masterlist for my scientific posts

Please note that especially my earliest posts may contain both grammar and factual errors (and poor phrasing of things) as I had just started my university studies at the time and my, in particular scientific, vocabulary in English was highly limited!

I also apologize for the lacking sources in my earlier posts. I didn't realize that it would be a good idea to include them there (after all, the main reason for these posts was to recap in order to learn the topics in question) and I unfortunately no longer remember all of the sources. Posts published in 2023 and onward, however, generally do have sources mentioned on them

Truth to be told, I don't know when exactly I joined Tumblr and for some reason I have never gotten these so I just stole someone else's to post on the day I first posted on Tumblr 😅

I saw the tiniest ever bumblebee, it was about half of the size the ones we usually have here

These $#@&ing ads on profiles now... Well, time to turn the ad-bocking settings to the max

Lex Luger's ring gear!!!

It's like he'd have a tail and when he moves, it looks like he's wagging it and it's very cute

So, I've been watching RAW from 1993 lately and I gotta say, I love the colorful WWF logo by the entrance, it's so cool. Also them having people on the show over the phone is something I like. And the commentary, it's more interesting than it is these days, I mean they're just goofing around there half of the time (talking about commentary, Vince and his "what a maneuver" in every god damn show lol). What else is interesting is that they sometimes had celebs on their shows sitting in the crowd back then, too. Oh, and it's rather funny how I know a huge number of the guys there, I'm not gonna even list who because it's without lying most of them, while knowing only a few of the people in WWE now when I started to watch new episodes of RAW and SmackDown this year

SmackDown 12.6.2026

LA Knight!

People trying to bribe Danhausen to uncurse/curse uhhh whatever that was they were talking about xd

And now Kit also got electrocuted. Idk if I should be amused or annoyed over this. Hope Miz is gonna be alright soon, though

Oh man... That whole altercation between Cody and Sami- And Sami leaving the ring looking like he's about to cry 😭

Sami's gonna referee the match between Cody and Gunther!? This sounds like we're gonna be seeing a lot of hurt emotions real soon

lol Melo just walking past Ricky like he doesn't even care

...what did I just say. Emotions getting hurt already

LA wanting his music to be played again xd

Ah, teamwork

And Jey wins, what a surprise /src

Rainy day and nothing to do, ugh

Aaand it's done, I submitted the application for degree certificate. What's left now is to wait for it to get processed (which should be done by the end of this month) and then I'm officially a master of education. Also I bought our university's t-shirt and canvas bag now that I still am a student there, but they unfortuntaly didn't have the black bag anymore

[academicelephant]

Omg, I could cry- I found a place to watch both RAW and SmackDown from the beginning!! This is great, for a good while I've felt like I've missed so much because I only started to watch full episodes this year and before I've just watched what there is on Youtube (which means it was very scattered what I managed to see) but now I can watch everything (though I might not because I'm not very interested of the earlier part of 1990s but we'll see. Also it'd take quite a long time to do, that's 33 years of RAW and 27 years of SmackDown, after all)

I got greeted very enthusiastically by a neighbour's dog today when I was out for a walk 🤗

What a past couple of days-

After I received the feedback and the grade for my master's thesis, I read it through once more and to my horror noticed that I have somehow managed to skip over one question and not report its results. I kinda paniced and emailed my supervisor about it in the middle of the night. She replied the next morning and told me to contact the person who deals with publishing and ask if it's possible to add an erratum to a master's thesis. Turned out it is possible and I also found a template for that so crisis averted, yay. Also idk but writing one made me feel like a real researcher/academic

It's been a week since I watched Willow (1988) and I'm still thinking about Madmartigan in women's clothes trying to save the baby (and also the fact that Warwick Davis was only 17 in said movie) - ⭐⭐⭐½

The WWE Live Tour 2019 t-shirt I bought on eBay a couple of weeks back arrived today! It shipped faster than I thought, the expected minimum delivery time was set at the end of the week (well, for once it's this way haha). It’s clean, too, smells like laundry detergent. Honestly I’m so happy, finally I have this shirt in the right size so I can actually wear it
