I have moved! I am in the new flat and the commute is amazingly better and I am actually getting some sleep and feel alive and able to concentrate and all those good things :)

I need to buy a little desk and maybe another little bookcase but my x-files poster is up and my plants are cheerfully dying so all is as normal.

Worst internet experiences where you have to be really super positive about yourself and then hope people like you.

3. Job applications

2. Internet dating

1. Finding a house share

ENDLESS LIST OF ALL MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS: KERRY WEAVER

Get used to not being liked. It’s what we as women have the hardest time with. We want to be liked, care what people think, but the fact is, when you’re in a position of authority, you’re gonna piss people off, and you’re gonna lose friends.

I don’t really post much any more because I started my new job and now have a 2+ hour commute each way, if everything goes well, which is... not often. Because London. But I am otherwise enjoying my new job and trying to be positive about all the extra time I have during the commute for reading and sleeping and other important stuff. And the commuting should be temporary if all goes well.

But I am seriously behind with assorted television (Discovery, Stranger Things) which is making tumblr mobile a challenge at the moment.

Also everyone keeps asking me if I am enjoying working in London, but like, I go straight to work and come straight home so ... once I’m at work I could be anywhere? I am not really taking advantage of this opportunity I guess.

The best part about Fearful Symmetry (besides the invisible elephant) is that you can tell that Scully is questioning her life choices the whole time.

it’s amazing how it’s 2017 and a lot of people still haven’t figured out “it was a joke” is not a phrase that belongs in an apology

Photographer Spends Eternity Waiting For Museum Visitors To Match Artworks And The Result Is Worth The Wait

In October 2013 workers in the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system went on strike, disrupting the daily commute for employees of San Francisco powerhouses like Google and Twitter. Tech company executives who like to think of themselves as rebellious “disruptors” of old economic models were furious that they had been disrupted by what they considered the most outdated relic of them all—a labor union.“Get ’em back to work, pay them whatever they want, and then figure out how to automate their jobs so this doesn’t happen again,” fumed Richard White, the CEO of something called UserVoice, whose website boasts that it helps organizations “find a better way to listen to their users’ voices.”   Richard White certainly wasn’t in the mood to listen to the voices of BART workers that morning, because they were reminding him that even Silicon Valley can’t run without train operators and bus drivers. Like all capitalists, but perhaps even more so, tech bosses prefer to imagine that society has no classes, only millions of individuals freely buying and selling their goods and labor to one another. If a few of them have more money than they can spend while most of us have more needs than we can afford, the rest of us shouldn’t get jealous. Just create the next big app and join them!   For four days in October, the BART strike punctured this fantasy by reminding our Captains of Digital Industry that the working class is real. Even worse (from their point of view), this class isn’t just an unfortunate object of pity but a potential powerhouse in its own right whose strength comes from unity, solidarity, and other age-old concepts that Bay Area bosses must have thought had been buried a thousand TED talks ago.

woody allen’s new movie is about a middle-aged married man having an affair with a fifteen-year-old girl when will he die

[beachdeath]

lotta people in the notes saying “f*ck the young actresses in this movie” and not saying one word about allen himself and that doesn’t sit well w/ me! if the harvey weinstein scandal has shown us anything it’s that young women - even well-connected, famous ones - have vastly less social and professional capital than we think they do! if your response to this news is to attack the nineteen-year-old actress and not the 81-year-old pedophile who wrote the movie and cast her in it then i really think you need to re-evaluate your priorities!

Stella Gibson: What will you tell your daughters in the future? About how to stay safe? Reed Smith: Pretty much what I tell them now. Don’t talk to strange men. Stella Gibson: Strange men? Reed Smith: Any man.

Stella’s face is still *too* relevant to women in 2017.
