I have returned to tumblr just to note somewhere that last night I dreamt that I had the best idea for a jegulus fanfic and I was even starting to write it and when I woke up I remembered my great idea was regulus having narcolepsy and I was severely disappointed in myself
I really like what this physicist, Lamar Glover, has to say in Behind the Curve.
+ this part from Spiros Michalakis:
Incredibly good take which is really rare for these topics
Evidence shows that shoving data in peoples’ faces doesn’t work to change minds.
Transcribed text:
Quote by physicist LAMAR GROVER:
“Truthers, flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers… when we leave people behind, we leave bright minds to mutate and stagnate. These folks are potential scientists gone completely wrong. Their natural inquisitiveness and rejection of norms could be beneficial to science if they were more scientifically-literate.”
Quote by Dr SPIROS MICHALAKIS:
“The problem I see is actually not from the side of the conspiracy theorists. It is actually from our side, from the side of science. Very often it is difficult not to look down. My friend said: “Sometimes, the way to change someone’s mind is to shame them”. And I say, I don’t think that’s the last resort, ever. This is the same as saying that, if a kid doesn’t get a particular subject, it’s not your fault as the teacher, it is their own fault. I do not believe that. It is you haven’t developed your empathy to see from their point of view where they’re getting stuck. The worst case scenario is you just completely push these individuals at the fringe of society, and then society just lost them.“
i love this sentiment, and i want to add; everyone deserves kindness and empathy, not just the potential geniuses and scientists
The best conversations I’ve had with anyone whose mind I’d like to see change - on any topic! - have been focused on listening and asking questions. You have to genuinely care about a person and not just winning an argument, and be willing to do some learning yourself.
For example: I’m an autistic Christian working in autism research and deeply involved in a conservative-leaning church; you can imagine that I get a LOT of questions, about vaccines especially. Being able to meet that resistance with empathy and overlapping values has gone a long way. In some cases, I’ve actually gotten to see attitudes shift, which is super cool! In other cases, the victory is smaller scale, in the sense that it’s never a waste of time to try to understand each other as people and encourage mutual curiosity.
Imagine being the only person alive who can say this
buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”
The Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence River superimposed on a map of Europe
…OH.
I googled it once and the only reason why the Great Lakes aren’t called inland seas is because they are entirely freshwater, not salt.
By any other metric they’d be seas. Superior especially (the big one in the upper left) behaves like a small ocean, and has claimed at least 250 ships and over 1000 people. Gordon Lightfoot wrote a frankly chilling song about her that I’ll include here:
Lake Michigan has never fully frozen. Leading to some absolutely terrifying images
Layers of ice created, shattered, and built up like this.
Hey, here’s a picture of that lighthouse in 2015, when we had a polar vortex
I love the Great Lakes, you know how all boats look like shit, like just rusty hulks, you don’t get that on the Great Lakes because it’s fresh water, like the shipwrecks are incredibly well preserved

Violet Bridgerton is truly gods strongest soldier. Every season she tells one of her children they're in love and every season they scoff in her face before causing seven different scandals to reach the same conclusion.
Tyler dining with the Addams to meet Wednesday parents officially and they're really concerned because he do look a lot like the boy next door, your friendly neighbor, some real normal boring guy and they didn't expect that to be Wednesday's first boyfriend until Morticia asked why took so long for they to met and Tyler like "oh I was locked in a psychiatrical hospital after I murdered ten people" and her and Gomez both sighed in relief.

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me
what made u guys pick ur url's !

reading about serial killers in the 1800s and they had female incels I guess
hey everyone saying I just don't understand marriage was important for women's survival in the 1800s. I still don't think she had to be a serial killer as a result if i'm being honest. I think you may have skipped the serial killer part
wait real. if I didn't have this damn phone i'd start killing too probably
did your parents buy you premium memberships/currency with real life money for games growing up ie. club penguin, neopets, etc. if you were born after ~2005 this question is not for you
yes
yes but i had to pay for it with allowance/chores/etc
no
