back when i was suicidal in high school the tiniest things would make me want to kill myself but also the most trivial things would stop me

i remember looking at a bottle of sleeping pills and going “i’m going to kill myself. i’m not going to get out of this town. i’m not going to be able to get into a good college” and then i would go “but wait! if you die tonight, you won’t be there when they invent time travel. what if you die tonight and aliens land tomorrow and you miss it. the entire world would change and you would miss it.” “ah, yes. good point. i’ll wait until next week to die. once i’m dead i’m dead, so i can wait a little longer to see if something cool happens before then.”

it never did but it brought me back from killing myself until i started seeing a psychologist and got on antidepressants

people are re-blogging this and i dont mind b/c they’re relating to it so that’s nice if it’s helping ppl understand

the whole “you have so much to live for!” idea was nice and well intentioned, but i felt like people were just spouting bullshit at me because i didn’t. i didnt have any friends or dates or talents.  i had nothing to really live for.

but things like “oh, well if you die now you won’t be able to find out who jon snow’s mother is” did help. because i went “oh, well i’ll finish this book to figure out if my theory is right first.” because i was going to die anyway so a few more hours wouldn’t hurt and by the end of the book i felt less suicidal. 

also years later i found out i was right about my theory.

This exact thing has helped me so much. Things like, “Well you can’t now because it’s Thanksgiving and you’ll ruin it, wait until after” “well now it’s almost Christmas so do it next year” “Well you can’t before you see how Game of Thrones ends” “Think of all the cats you haven’t pet yet” the trivial things have always helped me more than the whole, “people will miss you, you have so much to live for”

Find something to make you hold on a little longer, even if you take it hour by hour or day by day. Even if it’s just something like, “Well if I die tonight I won’t get to eat my leftover Chinese food tomorrow” it helps.

whyyyyy do we need cursive anywayyyy

[reading-wanderer]

Most people don’t even use cursive for signatures. Eventually, they all just dissolve into squiggles.

Plus Some people’s cursive can be pretty unreadable even when they do put in the effort.

I was taught cursive, told I would need it in high school when we started writing essays.

Teachers didn’t accept anything in cursive. By the end of highschool teachers were not accepting hand-written essays and everything had to be typed. Though, they assured me cursive would probably be a thing in university because you have to write essays in class sometimes too and wouldn’t have access to computer to type it up.

In university, we were warned, that cursive can be a faster method of writing, but harder to make legible when writing quickly. We were warned if the professor couldn’t easily and quickly tell what we were saying, it would count as not having written anything. This included in-class exam essays on a time limit. So no one used cursive.

So while I was constantly being assured that cursive would be very useful when I grew up, it only became increasingly obsolete.

Why would we continue to teach obsolete skills? Why waste the time?

That being said… kids are exposed to a lot of different fonts… some of which are cursive. I think they can figure it out.

cursive is more of an art form than it is a way of life now a days and i appreciate the beauty of the script but its not practical unless you can do it really well and quickly for anything school related tbh.

[rodentmancy]

when i did bank customer service i sure noticed an issue with checks being written in cursive and thus illegible, and the teller taking a guess at what it actually says. youd think ‘just go by the actual numbers’ but they had to go by the text, and often those numbers were also hard to read 

[onehellofashipper]

One thing that is interesting is that if a young child has dyslexia, its easier for them to learn to write in cursive! It helps them keep from mixing up which way bs and ds go, because they’re written differently, and it helps because all the letters are connected, making it harder for them to lose track of where they are in a word. I taught at a school for kids with learning disabilities, so that’s what we did.

Please, for the love of all that is good, do not do the bobbit worm. That is the only animal I have had repeating nightmares about as an adult. Its a good part of the reason it took me so long to get into saltwater aquariums (those fuckers will just SHOW UP in your live rock). I have the tag "bobbit worm" blacklisted, but I follow so many fishblr blogs who follow/love you that theres a great chance the post'll end up untagged on my timeline anyway

to be honest, I really don’t like them either so it’s pretty unlikely that I’ll do a Weird Biology post on it. 

sorry, Bobbit Worm lovers!

(the List is like four pages long at this point, anyway)

[bunjywunjy]

Me: Oh, bobbit worms can't be that bad. I think a lot of freaky looking animals are cute! *looks it up* AHHHHHHHHHHH NO THANK YOU THAT THING CRAWLED STRAIGHT FROM HELL

yeah, I think they’re too viscerally upsetting to do a bit about, unfortunately. no shame on Bobbit Worms, tho! but my goal is to reach the max amount of people possible and some animals just are not geared for that.

birds are so weird. what is this thing. what is he doing. please I want to swim in that pool

[thetyrannosaur]

fuck with me

[bunjywunjy]

behold, a man

[bunjywunjy]

I just googled bobbit worm and I found a video of one killing a lion fish…

I wouldn’t wish that on even a Lionfish.

we have a variety of opinions here, I see.

For my 3D production class I had to create a three shot short that was a remake of an existing movie scene- with muppets. I ran out of time to do the particle water effects, but this is basically Pacific Rim anyway.

What do you know about Vaquita?

it’s the worlds smallest and most adorable cetacean, a porpoise that maxes out at about five feet long! TINY. they live in the gulf of california.

they’re also, no gentle way to put it, doomed.

they were never numerous to begin with, and most of the species has been completely annihilated by illegal gillnet fishing. (they get tangled in the nets and drown)

as of march, there were 12 of them left. 12.

every attempt at conservation so far has been a miserable failure and I think at this point we’re just watching them slip away. 

I could be wrong! I HOPE I’m wrong. species this far on the brink have been saved before. but I kind of doubt it’s going to happen this time.

all we can do at this point is bear witness, and it would be a huge disservice to the Vaquita to do anything less.

nature documentary but the narration is just weird enough to make you question it
