shout out to everyone who has any sort of maintenance job whether it's a custodian or a mechanic or a furnace repair person or a pool cleaner or a housekeeper or anything where someone shows up or I go to you, and my shit is taken care of.

big appreciation for the maintenance people

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Huge fan of when I have a problem that I have no idea how to handle (or no time/tools/physical strength to handle) and I call A Guy who knows how to handle it and they come and handle it for me.

academic writing these days is always like “be/longing” “re-membering” “(under)standing”

[662607015]

STEM academic writing is like "we present the results of the ACRONYM project (A ContRived mnemOnic is NecessarY Material)"

This was originally supposed to just be a quick sketch doodle shitpost but then I started thinking about how fucking terrifying a lovebird the size of a car would be. Also tried my hand at intentionally going for dynamic composition. I deleted the sketch layer before I thought of saving it also but you can kinda see what I was aiming at:

how do you feel about emoji reacts to emails? (btw you can emoji react to emails. I assume this is news to many people.)

I love it, would love to send and receive these

I think it's a little unprofessional, but not enough to bitch about it

I don't have strong feelings either way

I have neutral-to-positive feelings

I hate this and think it's very unprofessional

Voting ended onJul 2

If you've never encountered this at work, just imagine what it would feel like.

For anecdotal note, I have never received an emoji react from anyone not based in the UK, but within the UK, across different workplaces and contexts, I have received these, so I suspect there is a geographical component as well.

Consider: A huge dragon basking in direct sunlight like birds do, but all sorts of smaller wildlife has gathered under the wings to enjoy the temporary shade.

Horror tends be to dark, as in lack of light, but there’s a kind of horror to the endless day of Finnish summer that someone must have done something with. What kind of monster hunts in inescapable sunlight? When there’s no where to hide. When sleep is short and restless. When the streets are filled with life, beautiful pollinating plants that shorten your breath, insects that want your blood, and geese that know no fear.

Anyway, happy summer solstice!

writing my master's thesis is about taking the sacred ether fluid coming out of all my pores and channeling it into my LaTeX document. also math

[algebraic-dumbass]

the blessed thesis-writing juice seems to only come out at night, past 3am. This sacrifice of my circadian rythm is a gruesome but necessary one, in order to sucessfully accomplish the ritual (of getting a master's degree).

Attention museum patrons!

The Museum of Unnatural History has been undergoing some renovations to our skylights. To save money, we've hired a flock of birds in overalls. Please refrain from more than one selfie with the birds in overalls. They are cute, yes, but they are also paid by the hour!

[zyzscribbles]

Everyone, you know what to do; time for lots of selfies with birds in overall
