I just had a physical exam today and I haven’t done the little knee hammer reflex test since I was like four years old so I was just like “yeah it’ll just make me flinch or whatever nbd” but when the doctor actually DID it my whole ass leg fucking launched into the air like I was David fucking Beckham. She didn’t even give me a second to recover either, I was gripping onto the exam table for dear life like “oh my god I’m so sorry” and WHAM she nails the other one. My entire body jolts as my foot flies three feet in the air and she twirls out of the trajectory of a five toe death kick to the groin like a capoeira master and just says “you have very brisk reflexes”. Like miss ma’am with the PHD didn’t just Ratitouille my whole shit. Like respectfully your honour you just played my skeleton like a piano, what the hell

having the Aviation Accident Investigations Autism™️ has actually done wonders for the way I process and respond to my own fuck-ups

[json-derulo]

And I don't just mean "oh, my little work mistake is actually nothing compared to a fiery crash that kills people," either. The reason commercial flight is so many orders of magnitude safer than any other form of transportation is because after every accident and incident, an independent regulatory body investigated it with the express goal of figuring out exactly what happened, why, and how to prevent the same thing from ever happening again—not to root out which person deserved the blame or the liability.

It's a simple, shockingly effective idea. It's also worlds away from how most people approach their own mistakes and the mistakes of others.

[json-derulo]

Because it’s never just one person’s fault. And even when it is, it still isn’t. 

The sharpest, best-trained pilots make worse decisions when they're tired or sick or stressed out, so there's two of them. The most dedicated and experienced air traffic controllers garble an instruction over the radio sometimes, so pilots are trained to always repeat clearances back to catch misunderstandings quickly. The best and brightest maintenance mechanic still overlooks a screw or misconnects a wire once or twice in her career, so aircraft systems are built with two or three or four layers of redundancy, and pilots are exhaustively trained to deal with failures safely. 

Everyone eventually has a bad day. Every component breaks down. Every computer gets a bad a Windows update and spirals into a reboot doom loop. If it’s possible for one person’s mistake to domino into a mushroom cloud of a fuckup, then that task is too critical to be one person's sole responsibility. The accident sequence starts with the design of the system—so how do you improve the system to keep it from happening again?

I think that if you are in any area of Academia in a professional capacity it is in fact an obligation to think about methods of collection and dissemination of knowledge that exist outside of Academia. and in fact I think that if you do not do this you are a bad academic. much less actively disparaging the people outside of your institution as automatically "anti-intellectual" bc you do not agree with them.

[geneticdrifting]

Yes!! I can really only speak on ecology but I would say things have gotten much better in this direction just in the brief time (~10ish years) I've worked in this field. There's definitely been a shift from unidirectional and surface-level "outreach" to much more thoughtfully considered co-production strategies and considerations for different knowledge systems and ways of knowing outside of academia. The work is hard and often slow and uncomfortable but it's so important!! And yes I would agree is our responsibility!

I also think the energy and interest in this kind of work is there, but institutional support is haphazard at best. The timescale and labor of doing the work "right" way is unfortunately super undervalued in the horrible crushing wheel of publishing and tenure and funding. I do have hope that this is changing, but it's a slow and uphill battle for sure.

[creekfiend]

I've actually noticed that about ecology specifically from the outside, too! speaking as a rural person our AG extension offices provide a good template for working w farmers and stuff and I think that a lot of broader ecology groups are kind of hooking into that... like I see plenty of our local universities' posts (in various places including fb and sometimes craigslist) about asking rural ppl with access to land and interest in Looking At Stuff to report about what's happening on that land and so on. which is cool to see. for example I've been closely following whether our local ecologists think joro spiders are harmfully invasive in this area or not and they've been quite diligent about releasing statements like "we don't currently have enough information to make definitive statements but please send us info about what type + number of spiders you see around your property so we can collect enough data to be sure"

Me when someone is talking shit about my sisters

[punkitt-is-here]

Hello person having transgender thoughts but convinced they aren't trans because they don't have the requisite amount of dysphoria they think they need

Hi I transitioned without even thinking I had dysphoria. Like later in hindsight I can go "oh that's probably what it was" but for the first year of my transition I was straight up like "I like being a guy but I like being a girl WAY more" and you can do that!! There is no prerequisite amount of suffering needed to make yourself happier.

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

[aphroditestummyrolls]

If you could help me spread awareness about this by reblogging, I’d really appreciate it.

[roastedmoose]

I’ve had this post on insta saved for sometime ❤️

[urban-bike-cryptid-deactivated2]

[Text Description: “Hey! Reminder: Eskimo is a slur. It means ‘snow eaters’ in Cree and is a slur against Inuit . Also don’t use ‘Eskimo kisses’. It’s called Kunik. It is a greeting mostly used for family… Kunik was how I’d greet my mom and grandmother as a small child.” /TD]

[vickytokio]

Rebloging for the awareness and especially for the alternative words

[anarchopuppy]

And so people who are just learning this now know the proper usage: “Inuit” is plural. The singular is “Inuk”, as in “he is an Inuk”

walkable cities also means sittable cities send tweet

[officialspec]

some people are responding to this like its a joke and im going to assume u are the type of people to say "its only a 3 minute walk" when i tell them the nearest bench is too far away

[officialspec]

also anyone who thinks "3 minutes isnt THAT bad" you will be old one day. and you will wish the bench was closer

[shinraalpha]

walkable cities also means cities with free accessible public bathrooms whilst we're at it

in a funny spot where i would like to be perceived as a woman but not in a "oh thats a cis woman" way. like i don't want to hide that im trans at all. if you see me looking cunted up like crazy and then a deep ass Had a Beard In High School voice comes out of my mouth you are fuckin welcome. you should be so thankful to be graced by the presence of the hottest bitch on the planet

[punkitt-is-here]

when you see a big girl with broad shoulders and unshaved legs and shittily applied makeup like she just started doing it for the first time three months ago and a voice like the faggiest bitch on the planet you should be doing this

Let's be fair, the Rock is capable of solid line delivery and emotional acting, it's just that he always try stay in his comfort zone of "cool badass action hero" and won't allow his characters to show physical or emotional weakness, limiting his performances.

The Rock has the potential to be a great actor, but his ego is holding him back.

[curiooftheheart]

Funny enough I think that’s more scathing

[pagecommando]

IMO Bautista edges out Cena dramatically, Cena edges out Bautista comedically, and Johnson has potential if he'd stop playing the idea of himself but I think he's too stuck into it.

I'd love to see Bautista and Cena on stage honestly.

[ikeepbeez]

The thing I love about Bautista is that in GotG he was ...not good. He tried really hard, you could tell, which made it fine, but his acting was not good. I didn't really "believe" him so to speak, but it was endearing. And he's gotten SO MUCH BETTER you can really see the love and passion he puts into things. In Glass Onion, I 100% believed him. Seeing that kind of development really makes me like an actor *more.* A few actors are just bad and hard to watch (most of them don't get far enough if they're not good). But I can suspend my disbelief if you're not good but trying hard. Jeff Anderson as Randall Graves in Clerks was similar. The dude did NOT know his lines -- thus he was always reading something -- and you could tell. But he just kept getting better in the Askewniverse, and I really enjoy that.

your energy is finite, just like the mental load you can take, the worries you can shoulder and the negativity you can internalise. take the break, log out of the socials if it's making you anxious and say no more often. you're just a person.

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.
