Hello!

Welcome to my blog! Sit and stay a spell. I hope you enjoy your visit ♡

Call me Bee!

Here are some things to know about me:

She/her/they/them or any other pronouns you enjoy (here's a post explaining my gender)

you can put pretty much anything in my ask box (as long as it's nice)

I have so many fandoms I don't even know how to list them all (I don't have anything specific I post you just have to roll with my hyperfixations) but I would love to talk to anyone about any of them, please please talk to me. Some of the top ones (in the order I can think of them) are Tolkien, ATLA, Star Trek, Teen Wolf, Merlin, a whole lot of musicals but esp Starkid musicals, Firefly, The Starless Sea, A Discovery Of Witches, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Psych, Fallout, and Leverage.

A literal bee and my followers are my bumblebabes

Day 8 of June, here's a recap of what's happened so far:

Passed out at work

Showed up the next day and looked so horrific that my boss immediately sent me home

Developed a HORRIFYING yeast infection (I've had regular yeast infections for the last 9 years and this is EASILY the most disgusting and painful one I've ever had)

Passed out again yesterday at my boyfriend's house

Honorable mentions from last month:

Tried to talk to my primary care physician about the problems I've been having for the last THREE YEARS and she cut me off then immediately said it sounded like I was pregnant and refused to do any other testing

Period that lasted three weeks

Characters in media fighting back against the mind control:

[faux-friend]

When a black person states that something you did was racist, chill the fuck out. Its annoying dealing with you panicking trying to dissociate yourself from racism. If you're not black, black people already assume youve said nigga or its variant at least once in your life. If they're interacting with you and bringing something up, its because they want you to stop doing that so they can still interact with you(if ur already friends)

You WILL be racist. You WILL do racist things. You have ALREADY done both. Learn and move on. There's no ideological purity you can hold on to, i promise. Proving you can take the criticism without making it a big deal and practice what you preach is better than any clean slate.

Be the kind of person black people don't have to gamble on. Shut up and lock in

This very production of Orpheus & Eurydice is now available to stream, free, for the month of June.

Is expired poison more poisonous or less poisonous

[lemning00n]

If it's not supposed to be poison then more effective, and if it is supposed to be poison then less

[pigeons-and-pebbles]

[acidbathbunnies-moved]

this is the result of severe inbreeding. look at it it can't even breathe properly

[21st-century-minutiae]

In the early twenty-first century, internet piracy is the practice of hosting, distributing, downloading, and viewing copyrighted material without going through official channels. One common, low-barrier to entry process is going to specific websites where one can stream movies. These sites illegally distribute movies, often displaying advertisements to extract revenue from visitors. A particular site might be shut down and replaced with another, which will result in a name change, so viewers often need to search for these sites to find new ones.

Piracy sites of this type compete with one another for viewers (because of the ads they host). As such, there is an economic incentive to make their name similar to an already well-known site, or to otherwise increase search results. Using blatant keywords like "movies" and "free" can make a site show up more often. Prepending a url with numbers can make it show up earlier in search results and history. As sites get replaced, changes will iterate. The above url could be seen as the result of many iterations of this process.

The poster humorously compares this iterative process to inbreeding, that is to say, the process of breeding with close relatives, often to preserve a specific, desirable trait. This often results in other, less desirable traits also propagating. Some dog breeds in the early twenty-first century, such as pugs, are notoriously in-bred, and are quite unhealthy as a result. Respiratory issues are particularly common.

happy pebble pride

the thing is like men and men really cant be friends because the sex part does always get in the way like thats true. and i mean that like im actually dead serious about that

[urie]

like have you ever seen two straight men attempt to be friends with each other but the gay sex they arent having is literally preventing them from the transformative healing power of friendship. this is real

[urie]

i dont even mean this in a "they want to fuck each other" way (although many of them do and will never know it) i mean that like the fact that gay sex is even hypothetically possible between them makes it loom over their friendship like it genuinely haunts them that they could be having it. gay sex is the elephant in the room every time they attempt to be emotionally vulnerable with one another, every time they let a hug linger too long. they cannot address its existence and so there is always something in their way, preventing true connection. and that something is the gay sex. that they are not having. the elephant of gay sex

as someone with a bachelor’s degree in english, i am inexpressibly tired of people telling me to get highly specific jobs that often require highly specific degrees. “just go write for a magazine!” you need a journalism degree for that. “just teach!” you need a teaching certificate, and also fuck you. “just go work at a tutoring place!” tutoring children with learning disabilities, which make up the majority of the clientele at those places, requires not only a teaching certificate but a specialized master’s degree. “just go work at a library!” you need a master’s degree in library science to be a librarian. it is actually a highly skilled and extremely competitive field. you don’t just “go work at a library,” you train for years in the vain hope that you will get one of handful of available jobs. “just go work at a library.” the nerve. the unmitigated gall. “just go work at a library.” ugh.

[krushmaster]

serious question, what can you do with a bachelor’s in english? 

[myrosecolouredgirl]

take you in a fistfight, that’s for damn sure

[hamletthedane]

A few actual answers for any panicking liberal arts majors out there:

Paralegal (8wk cert helpful but usually not required). Industry is desperate for employees. In my experience, you’ll often make as much as the junior attorneys. Excellent job security as long as your firm exists. And if it folds, there are more firms desperate to hire.

Public Relations, Communications, and Marketing. No you do not need a specific degree in those areas to apply for jobs in them. Most of the communications people at my current place were English majors (many graduating in the last five years)

Yes, you can teach English with just an English BA, at least in the US. Most K-12 private schools do not require a teaching certificate and you can start immediately. And if you want to teach public K-12, most states have a fast-track 8wk (one summer) teaching certificate program

Grant writer. Look for universities and nonprofits. Not a traditional job route but one you CAN do - volunteer to write grants for nonprofits in your area to build your portfolio, then apply to jobs with your experience supporting you. Your English degree is incredibly good training for this field.

Copy editing and publishing. Jobs are limited but if it’s your passion, you can find something. Work at it and self-advocate.

Executive Assistants with a heavy writing responsibilities often get paid relatively well and can have fascinating jobs.

Creative writing. Take a year and write your sci-fi novel, or scripts for YouTube videos, or whatever else you’re called to write. The world will be waiting on the other side.

Also: get creative in looking for positions!! English is an incredibly powerful degree in that it’s trained you how to quickly and analytically process a large amount of information and communicate it back with critical analysis. The only reason it gets trashed is that the career paths from are rarely traditional or straightforward: it’s not an engineering degree that pipelines into one of three industries (that you’ll probably be fired from within five years), it’s a degree that you use to find your own way in the world.

My English major friends went on to become (with zero additional schooling): a hospital administrator making six figures, a translator living in Belgium, a report writer for McKinsey & Co, a state representative and political organizer, a nonprofit vice president, a bank manager, and a script supervisor for Hollywood.

Or, at the end of the day, maybe you just want to be a very well-read person doing a job that might only require a GED or AA/AS. That is perfectly fine too. Education for the sake of education and not to better commodify yourself in the economy is a wonderful way to spend your brief time spinning around the globe and I’m very proud of you for doing that.

THE CHAFF PROJECT

Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great!

How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public.

Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

In practice: the goal is to make it DIFFICULT to identify trans people to target with bathroom bans, and to create many FALSE POSITIVES for businesses.

Basically, you might get accused of being trans and kicked out, because of the badge. You say: I wear the badge because trans rights matter.

You follow up with a letter to the business saying you're fucking furious because some nosy dipshit just tried to play fucking genital police with you in the loos. You know lots of trans people (don't name any, if you do) and you wear the pin in support and you're disgusted at them for allowing this.

Blame the business for allowing the behaviour.

Businesses see that their cis customers are getting bothered over a badge and may clarify trans-inclusive policies, so they can kick out the bathroom botherers instead of nice cis allies.

You only need to buy and wear the badge, and you are protecting trans people. You can be genuinely heroic. Even one cis person doing this helps, and everyone you get to join in helps even more.

Show your pride with our 25mm transgender pride flag pin badge. Perfect for wearing on your favourite denim jacket, back pack, or lanyard to

I'm not in the UK, but this is relevant anyway.

roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

[pinnipetal]

It deeply saddens me that "pdf file" has become slang for pedo. Don't you dare disrespect my wife the beautiful portable document format ever again

[dualcasterjay]

and to the children in the notes saying we need this fucking baby talk to get around censorship online; there's been no credible evidence that any site other that YouTube (which will only demonetize your video, ftr) will actually censor or hide content that include words like rape, pedophile, gun, terrorist, etc. etc. and even if we take as a given they were (which, again, they are not), do not fucking comply in advance, you absolute fucking coward. and ESPECIALLY do not comply by altering your real life fucking vocabulary. don't let the technocrats dictate what words you say holy fucking shit dude!!!!!!!!!!!!
