Having seen some births now i can say that dog birth is amazing cos they just slip n slide out one after the other like a little conveyor belt. And theyre so little and unformed. And then UNGULATE BIRTHS ... are amazing for the opposite reason which is that 10mins after being born they are filing their taxes. Unless they are goats, in which case they are committing tax fraud instead

[creekfiend]

Goats are what is called a precocial species, which means that shortly after birth they are able to do many thimgs on their own, such as standing, walking, eating, and embezzlement

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝 ⚜️ Art-Nouveau-inspired clock unicorn

The unicorn uses their horn to turn one’s best memories (falling in love, greatest achievements, happiest days) into golden clocks and watches. These are worth a fortune but are very delicate and feature detailed Art Nouveau-inspired ornaments. Once a memory takes the form of a clock, the person no longer has that memory. It's wiped and kept within the timepiece. They can sell the clock to gain a fortune, but they'll be stripped of their memories in the process. The happier the memory, the more expensive the clock. Each one takes a unique shape that references the specific events of the memory.

I think what irks me about the conversation now is how quick people are to bring up Aziraphale when Crowley being so out of character in S3 is discussed.

But what about Aziraphale. Don't forget Aziraphale. He said this. Didn't do this. He's also ooc.

Where were all these people and all these comments when people asked for Crowley to leave Aziraphale, fuck others, slap him, asked for him to suffer, have him dance a whole musical of apology dances, for Crowley to make sarcastic comments for the next few centuries, have him pay for being stupid in S2? Where were all these people asking everyone to be fair and look at both sides?

Aziraphale was - to me, willfully and openly hated on, spat on, and beaten down in S3. He tries his best and it's pointless, Crowley is the hero now, Crowley will get what he wanted, what his angel self wanted even - a universe that is not just a background but one that will run as long as it wants to. Just like he imagined. With some humans thrown in. With extra special free will that will bring all old universe look-a-likes together again. Crowley lost hope in the universe he lived in so it gets deleted.

The Crowley who spent years drinking and gambling and ignoring the knowledge that the universe is on a chopping block and the angel he once claimed to love is trying his best to change that, alone among his would be murderers, is head and shoulders, nay, a billion universes above the bad lines Aziraphale has gotten in GO3.

Aziraphale is forced to lie by the script about why he has returned. He does not get to say how lonely he felt. How he waited for Crowley to change his mind and he never did. How he replayed Crowley saying no and insulting him before walking away over and over. And he stayed and tried to save Crowley from eternity in torment anyway. He didn't give up, didn't just say fuck it, I'll watch the stupid musical for eternity, what do I care. He was the boss now even. Maybe he could put on another musical if he wanted.

Aziraphale tries again and again to talk about what happened between them. He tries to bring up things that made them laugh before. That connected them before. He is unfailingly kind and caring. Even towards Satan!! But the story now claims that this is futile and ridiculous and does not matter and Aziraphale is an idiot for trying.

Aziraphale praises Crowley even if the script tries to twist it so it seems he only cared for angel Crowley which we know is a ridiculous motion. Aziraphale did not know angel Crowley. Angel Crowley was an ass to him. Aziraphale loved the book!Crowley and S1!Crowley who adored and appreciated him back. Not some long lost platonic ideal of Crowley who didn’t make a stupid decision to follow Satan.

All Aziraphale is met with in S3, EVEN and especially from Crowley, is mockery and sarcasm and derision and 'how's that working out?' and 'choosing heaven instead of me'. Who is this stupid fucking clueless idiot and what Aziraphale hater wrote S3? I just wanna talk.

it’s sooo funny when rude customers encounter employees who can deny them service for the first time.

i was working at a little cafe where I could deny service over bad behavior, harassment etc. & mask mandates had just ended a week before & already people were being weird about me still wearing mine—an N95, the kind shaped kinda like a duckbill.

so this man walked in, looked at me sooo scathingly, laughed at me, and said “damn. never known a woman to choose…practicality over looks.”

And I just said, “oh. you can go, you’re not getting a drink.” And he said, “what???”

I said, “sir, you just walked in at 6 am & called women impractical and me ugly in one sentence.”

And he was so astonished he didn’t even argue he just turned around and left 💀🙏🏻 it was like he suddenly became self aware

One summer I was running ferry rides across a lake so people could see the waterfalls without walking 6 miles when a guy snapped my bra strap as he was boarding the boat. So i immediately threw him off, he started yelling for my manager, my boss cheerfully informed him that, yeah, she’s the captain of the boat and she can kick off anyone she wants. He goes to storm off, looks expectantly at his girlfriend, and she just goes, “Well, I’M not walking six miles, Michael! I’ll meet you back at the car!” and sits right back down!!!!

The expression on his face when he was told that he couldn’t get on the boat, then immediately told that his girlfriend was ditching him? PRICELESS. he just blinked at her and then stormed off like a child. I gave her a free hat and was like maybe rethink this relationship…….

i once had this fucker come up to order a beer. while i pour it he shows me the wanky fucking chemical structure tattoo on his arm and he’s like “hey. you know what this is” i was like “nah sorry” (never cared abt chemistry in school, plus having to look at a some rando’s pretentious tattoo gives me the douche chills). he decides to respond with “heh. you must not read many books”

i immediately stop pouring his beer. i reply: “heh. you must not want this beer.” thirsty boy immediately starts groveling like a worm “please please no i do want the beer im sorry im sorry” believe me when i say it was one of the most pathetic things ive ever witnessed

[lezbadeez]

gotta love people immediately backpedaling when they realise that there are Consequences To Being Mean

[lastvalyrian]

I genuinely believe that part of why it has become so normalized to be openly callous and evil in politics is that customer service culture has trained affluent people that they can treat everyone they consider beneath them however they want and still be treated kindly.

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

[three-blogs-in-a-trenchcoat]

Listen, this is serious.

Do not use the website called Sci-Hub!

It lets people access scientific articles for free. This is dangerous. It helps the free flow of knowledge and reduces the competitive edge of all the people who worked really hard to have been born into a wealth.

Like, it’s literally a website where you can type in the DOI of an article and read it, without ever having to pay the publisher who exploited the author.

So, again, do not, under any circumstance, use Sci-Hub. I mean, can you imagine a world where knowledge is free and easily accessible to everyone? Even, y'know, poor people?

[whateverthebeeswant]

Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.

[three-blogs-in-a-trenchcoat]

Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.

Reblogging so you know which sites to totally avoid

[professionalwritingnerd]

[irockasingranite]

Another inside tip from academia: Those papers in really expensive journals that are effectively inaccessible to anyone not in a university network? Depending on the discipline it’s very likely that same paper is on a “preprint” server somewhere, with no access restrictions.

Like if you want to read basically any physics, math, or CS paper, arXiv.org will have you covered, because everyone uploads their papers there before submitting to a journal (and generally updates it after peer review). I know all of my papers are on there. This is such common practice that journals have it baked into their licensing agreements that authors retain the right to upload their work to these places.

So the next time you get hit with that paywall, you may not even need sci-hub, just click the arxiv link on google scholar instead.

[twinkenjoyer-deactivated2023083]

if for some reason none of this works, the old “send a email nicely asking for the paper to the author” is always a good trick. remember most scientists hate the commercialisation of scientific knowledge

[afoxwithpenguins]

Don’t mind me, just gotta share this with my bf so that he knows what websites to avoid

[astudyinpanda]

Many authors of papers are on ResearchGate! You can ask for papers there, if they don’t just post a copy to download. If they’re associated with a college, you can usually find their email addresses in the department directory, also.

It’s the fact that

1) OP made a post that seemed interactive but then

2) Did NOT want anyone to actually engage

I remember tumblr at the time. It wouldn’t have changed OP’s post so lmao big L for OP making it weird

But best of all:

Most people didn’t realize there WAS a response until this fuckin UFO went by.
