Character has a PhD: they’re really smart and knowledgable about their field!

Character has 2 PhDs: either they did a dual degree program and are braggy about it, had a life-changing experience after their first degree and pivoted their whole career, or they find the structure of being a PhD student, despite all its stress, more comfortable and familiar than the stress of finding a Real Job and have a very indulgent advisor.

Character has 3 PhDs: who keeps accepting them to PhD programs. Either this person needs psychological help or their department needs to be investigated for its academic standards. Probably both

Character has 4+ PhDs: if they aren’t an undercover vampire or something then no they don’t lol

Alternatively: this character is some kind of rock star celebrity in their field and has a bunch of honorary degrees from several different institutions, and also this story takes place before most universities adopted a separate postnominal for honorary doctorates specifically to avoid this sort of confusion.

alternatively: character is multiple raccoons in a trenchcoat; each raccoon has a different degree

Got some not very good pictures of the jacket on me last week, quickly in the morning before work when it was warm but not horribly hot, and just in my pants and a somewhat faded cotton shirt. I hope to get better pictures in colder weather, with breeches, but that won't be for some months. Yesterday it went up to 35 with a humidex of 45, so I'm glad I took these when it was only in the mid 20s. For now it's in the closet and I don't want to wear anything that's not linen or rayon.

Level 1: Asylums are scary because there's crazy people there.

Level 2: We shouldn't treat mental health facilities as objects of horror because it stigmatises mental illness.

Level 3: Asylums are scary because there's psychiatrists there.

humiliating to be attracted to a conventionally attractive person. I thought I was a more sensitive and refined pervert than this

My African Wizard Robes are finished :) (with the amazing help of my partner @13mo who assisted with the ribbon trim <3) Its made out of hand dyed indigo panels, the front middle six being patterned by a batik wax resist process. The decor is made out of clay, shells, seed beads and abalone buttons all hand sewn on! I can't wait to get started on the staff and maybe... a hat

There’s a college in my city that has a rumor that there’s a secret basement below the known basement that can only be accessed via some hidden stairs scattered around the school or by pressing a secret number sequence in some of the elevators. The staff at the school are super annoyed by this and have no idea where this rumor started.

But I know. I think it was me.

In my defense I never intended to start a rumor. Many years ago I worked as a cleaner at the school and one evening I had to transport one of those big floor washing machines from the basement to the second level via the elevator. When the doors opened a very confused looking man stood inside. He was one of those slicked back gym-bro IT guys and made no movement to get out. The elevator wouldn’t fit him, me and the machine so I asked “Where are you going? Up or down?”

He gave me a smug shit-eating grin and said “Down?” in a mocking tone.

It took me a second to realize that of course he wasn’t going down, we were in the basement, but his look and tone annoyed me so much I refused to admit I misspoke and instead said “Yeah, down. I don’t know if you’re going to the second basement”

His smile disappeared “There’s a second basement?”

“Yeah but it sounds like you don’t have access to it so I guess you’re going up? I’ll just wait”

I never thought of it as anything other than a funny story to tell about that time I got so annoyed with a guy that I invented an entire second basement, but it turns out he probably refused to believe a cleaner fooled him and the story spread.

One of the best parts about being ace is allo people will see a scene and be like "There is no sex happening here" but because you are ace you actually know about secret sex (sex2) which is the far improved version of sex that usually happens when characters are fully clothed and in a situation. It cuts out all that moaning and making out stuff and gets right to the heart of what makes sex good.

I'M ALWAYS SAYING THIS
