Attention-Deficit Musings of a Nerdy Mind

I have very little free time, but most of it is spent on the internet

These comics all really capture how frustrating depression is.

In the early years of space flight, both Russians and Americans used pencils in space. Unfortunately, pencil lead is made of graphite, a highly conductive material. Snapped graphite leads and particles in zero gravity are hugely problematic, as they will get sucked into the air ventilation or electronic equipment, easily causing shorts or fires in the pure oxygen environment of a capsule.

After the fire in Apollo 1 which killed all the astronauts on board, NASA required a writing instrument that wasn’t a fire hazard. Fisher spent over a million dollars (of his own money) creating a pressurized ball point pen, which NASA bought at $2.95 each. The Russian space program also switched over from pencils shortly after.

40 years later snide morons on the internet still snigger about it, because snide morons on the internet never know what they are talking about.

At LeakyCon, a young lady asked me how I dealt with bullying. I wasn’t able to give her a very good answer, which troubles me. Well, there were lots of shouts of “It gets better” and “Stay strong” and “We love you”. But when I put myself back in time to when I was being bullied, none of those things would’ve helped me. Yes, absolutely it does get better. But when you are being physically and psychologically tortured, it is difficult to remove yourself from the pressingness of the moment at hand. Here’s how I dealt with bullying: I cried, I hated myself, I hated my life. I didn’t deal with it, I survived it, but I never dealt with it. So here are two tips from someone with lots of experience. 1: It’s not about you, it has nothing to do with you, it’s about the assholes doing it to you. 2: Your job is not to deal with it, your job is to survive it, which you CAN do because it WILL end. And then yes, it will get better.

"What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman."

Robin Thicke (no, really)

oh but he’s white so it’s harmless instead of those *gasp* rappers seriously there’s a huge fucking deal about misogyny in hip hop and R&B, but it only focuses on artists who are PoC, yet some fucking gangrenous white boy can get away with this shit and nobody speaks up, he gets to perform on national television and there is no backlash

(via vivianvivisection)

People say, “Hey, do you think this is degrading to women?” I’m like, “Of course it is. What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman. I’ve never gotten to do that before. I’ve always respected women.”

IIF DEGRADING A WOMAN IS SUCH A FORBIDDEN PLEASURE THAT YOU’RE GLAD TO ENGAGE IN BECAUSE YOU’RE SUCH A NICE GUY, YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY A NICE GUY. YOU’RE A HYPOCRITE AND A NASTY, NASTY INDIVIDUAL.

Day 1/365

Today was a Tuesday. It was the first day I didn’t have Italian, because I finally withdrew from that horrible class. It was also the day I skipped my Statistics recitation to do my Writing the Essay homework. Especially after going to sleep at 3 am. I really need to start going to sleep earlier or my body is going to fail me. I’m already gaining so much weight because of all the shit I’m eating here. I need to go on a diet. Today was also the day when I discovered that needing to validate myself was going to dig me into some deep shit. I’m not going to fully go into it on the internet, but all you need to know is this: I’m such a bitch. Anyways, passing from the lamenting track to other happenings today. Today, I met Kat Von D, one of my idols. I love her. I have a massive girl crush on her. I hugged her and told her I was saving a tattoo for her one day. I can only hope that one day I get the opportunity to get tattooed by her. I was shaking, I was so in awe that I was in her presence.

[I know, I’m posting this the next day. Just leave me be!]

tumblr, meet my new favorite sweatshirt. 

I think that the memory attached to it is a bonus, too.

That memory being getting pushed around Magic Kingdom in a wheelchair while sometimes obnoxiously singing “Proud Mary" and/or making airplane/car noises. 

Eventually I’ll post a few vacation photos, especially the one of Emily pushing me through the Haunted Mansion line in the wheelchair. We’re both wearing tiaras. And identical sweatshirts. It’s awesome.

But I digress. I will be wearing this forever.

-excuse the low quality picture-

So guys, I’m almost 21. And I have *never* gone the “slutty/sexy [insert word here]" costume route. I wasn’t ballsy enough Freshman year of college, and last year I was too socially awkward to do anything on Halloween so I sat at my apartment and drank wine and watched Netflix.

But this year I have a sexy boyfriend, a large base of friends that throw good parties, and, well, parties to go to. 

SO I’M GOING THIS ROUTE. 

this came complete with badge, hat and handcuffs- “sexy cop." It’s cliche, but I’ve never before worn a cliche Halloween costume. But I only bought this costume like three hours ago and holy shit I feel sexy. Like, really sexy. I don’t know why, but I do. So I’ll call myself a sexy/slutty whatever I want, because hey, I feel sexy and I DO WHAT I WANT.

tl;dr- dressing slutty this Halloween, YOLO.

I know you probably aren’t interested or anything, but here’s a really hipster looking picture of my hip tattoos. 

(They are a bit uneven, because the one on the right [my left] was done by some dipshit who didn’t know what lines were. I then added the one on the left [my right] a year later, and had the other artist fix dipshit’s work. There’s sadly only so much you can fix)

Can we just all appreciate what my hair was doing yesterday?
