If you’re not aware, Canvas was hacked. Canvas is a service that allows schools professors to grade assignments and students to do assignments online. It also has a built in email system.

So like 200 million people worldwide were affected by this hack, including me, who takes all of my classes online through Canvas. To be extra cautious my school isn’t letting us use it until Monday so I’m just lying here on my bed staring at the ceiling wondering if my professors are gonna count my assignments as late anyways.

I can’t know. The canvas email system for our school is down.

Weird that my personal information was possibly hacked and my current concern is exactly how stupid my professors are gonna be about this whole situation but that’s how it is on this bitch of an earth.

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

the way ozempic has finally made the fact that eating healthy and exercising doesn't necessarily make you thin well known and society's reaction to this is not "oh i guess being thin or fat doesn't actually show if you're healthy" but "oh i guess everyone should be on this drug"

put-me-down-please

I hate that this is infact how ozempic is viewed now because I watched, in real time, how my mothers diabetes got significantly better on ozempic, she didn't start it for weight loss, infact she started it before it even got big for weight loss, but all people can talk about is the weight loss on ozempic and not how good it is as a diabetes medication. Watching my mom find energy and happiness because for once a drug wasn't making her lethargic and miserable was wonderful, she was able to feel better, but then it was spouted as this miracle weight loss drug, and suddenly she just couldn't access it anymore at a good price. Not only has the ozempidemic made fatphobia normal in an already fatphobic society but it's making it harder to access for people who genuinely need it because it's seen as a luxury cosmetic drug.

my fiance got sick on Ozempic and she does have diabetes. It's irritating that this drug is being misused as an "easy" way to lose weight instead of putting in the work that so many do. Insulin is expensive and these rich fucks just buy it to lose weight while people are dying because they don't have access to insulin.

Ozempic is not insulin.

iincandescenttt

I know, but it is a medicine for diabetes which is getting misused by the general public. At this point people are trying to find anything to help mitigate diabetes symptoms since some things are much pricier than others

"my fashion hot take is that as we see a rise of fascism there is a direct correlation with thinness to make women take up less space and to be more concerned with maintaining thinness and less concerned with their-" "oh god, are we back to that?" 😔

why would you ever outsource fun to chatgpt? are you stupid? you can make mediocre shit by yourself too.

you're missing out on all the crazy euphoric moments where you execute an idea flawlessly, sending it to your friends and feeling the genuine happiness at their reactions to something you made authentically. you're robbing yourself of something beautiful.

and I get it, writers block, artists block, depression can really be terrible, but once you break out of it (and you will) it will feel like climbing Mount Everest.
