Come with me if you want to procrastinate

This is a really poignant illustration of the seductive nature of glorifying war but that is a LOOK and she is SERVING it

I've seen Death depicted as a card dealer or other sort of gambler, a guy in a suit, a farmer, a robed apparition, and any other number of things, but this? This has to be the best Death I've seen yet. An old seductress saying "hey kid, don't you wanna die in a trench for a government that doesn't give a fuck about you, just like your dear old dad?" This goes hard as fuck.

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees

[scienceoftheidiot]

They existed *before beetles*

Why is this sad? Why am I sad?

This is how I feel about Joshua Trees. They and avocado trees produce fruit meant to be eaten and dispersed by giant ground sloths. Without them, the Joshua Trees' range has shrunk by 90%.

(my own photos)

Not only they, but the entire Mojave ecosystem is still struggling to adapt since the loss of ground sloth dung. their chief fertilizer.

Many, many trees and plants in the Americas have widely-spaced, extremely long thorns that do nothing to discourage deer eating their leaves, but would've penetrated the fur of ground sloths and mammoths. Likewise, if you've observed a tree that drops baseball or softball-sized fruit which lies on the ground and rots, like Osage Oranges, which were great for playing catch at my school, chances are they were ground sloth or mammoth chow.

You can read about various orphaned plants and trees missing their megafauna in this poignant post:

The Trees That Miss The Mammoths - American Forests

Trees that once depended on animals like the wooly mammoth for survival have managed to adapt and survive in the modern world.

I am so tired and I just wanna die right now. It is so inhuman to make junior doctors work 7am - 10pm and expecting them to be able to function optimally and not make mistakes.

I wonder if anyone would notice my silence.

[meaningfulprocrastination]

I'm back again on the suicide train, and it seems like the train will be leaving the station soon. It's ok, the world will be better off without me, one less sad potato, one less sorry loser.

[meaningfulprocrastination]

Maybe if I die, then they'll see how toxic the situation really is.

But knowing how things are, nothing will change. No one would care. My death would just be in vain.

Somebody asked me today, when you look in the mirror this morning what did you see?

I saw me, not me at my happiest, not me at my best, just me, existing.

If somebody were to ask me what do I see in the mirror I now, my answer would be still be me, but a defeated me; full of regret, silently dying inside, and on the brink of a depressive episode.

If only I could do life all over again, I would not have chosen medicine. If only, if only...

[meaningfulprocrastination]

If I could do life all over again, I would not have chosen medicine.

[sunflorally]

so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.

[meaningfulprocrastination]

How would I know that I am so far gone, when I have gone too far to notice?

[bemylova]

my toxic trait : i hurt in silence and pray that someone loves me enough to notice i’m not being myself

[meaningfulprocrastination]

I regret taking medicine. I should have taken archeology. Maybe then I would know what happiness is.

And that kids, is how you kill a young budding junior doctor.
