You all have no idea how long I’ve been looking for this post!!! I’m so happy to see it again! It’s been 84 years and I can still smell the fresh paint. Holy shit thank you so much, Internet, I love you!!!

people who think cis is an acronym crack me up

flavoracle

As a cishet male, it took me a long time to realize that just meant “cisgender heterosexual.”

But if we’re talking acronyms, it could have accurately stood for “cargo-included shorts / hides emotions terribly” as well.

chandra-nalaar

we can forgive you for not knowing what cishet is but cargo shorts? that is too far

flavoracle

I’m hoping to get a pardon due to extenuating circumstances on this one.

You see, as a white cishet guy who regularly shaves off all my hair, wearing cargo shorts is about the most overt way I can think of to broadcast to everyone in the vicinity:

DO NOT BE ALARMED! THIS HUGE NERD IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A SKINHEAD!

wait… what does trans stand for then?

all those myths and legends you hear about uni professors being patient and understanding regarding human plight are true.

i was literally just feeling bad today and she totally gets it.

I once had a one-day hospital stay and confessed to my professor that I felt like I’d lost a whole week to exhaustion, and asked whether I could have an extension on my paper: she asked how long I wanted, and when I left it to her, she gave me five days “to give you back the week you lost.”

wishful-thinkment

I once had a professor give me an extension that went all the way up to the day she had to submit my grades to the university all because I told her I was struggling

I think what a lot of people forget about uni/college is that YOU are paying to be there, and that gives you a lot more control over the whole situation than you think. Particularly if you’ve come directly from school and you still have the mentality that these people are adults who are supposed to tell you what to do because you’re a child. Most uni professors think of you as fellow adults who are paying for a specialised service from them, and will want to treat you accordingly (though they usually do keep in mind that many of you are very new to adulting and may need more guidance than more experienced adults)

Also want to add: they cannot help if you don’t ask. If you just don’t do your assignments or show up without speaking to them, you will fail. If you are having a tough time, find the professor you trust the most (or your advisor) and ask them to help you find solutions to your problems.

they cannot help if you don’t ask

One of my students contacted me recently about turning in her final paper- she wanted to know how late she could turn it in, because she was sick and couldn’t make it to campus. She’d turned in the online copy already, and because I knew she couldn’t make it in, I just printed it for her. Problem solved, no points missing for being late. I couldn’t have done that if she didn’t ask! Yes, some profs are jerks- but many are not. Lots of us just want to help.

My senior year of undergrad I took a Lingustics seminar on metaphor, where I was the only student not about to embark on a PhD in Linguistics. I was fascinated by the subject matter but absolutely did not have the analytical skills or foreign language fluency required to complete the final project, analyzing a metaphor scheme used in a foreign language. After a lot of terror and stress I finally accepted the fact that I simply could not write the paper and was therefore going to fail the class, and decided to stop going, because what was the point?

But there were only six of us in the class so I knew the professor would notice my absence, and I felt I owed some kind of explanation, so I went to his office hours and informed him of the situation: I was going to fail the class because I could not satisfy the major requirement, period.

“Okay,” he said, “so what have you learned this semester?”

I mumbled that I’d done the readings and they were interesting, I just…

“Okay. And what kind of grade do you need? What’s your GPA now?”

3-something, I said. A B wouldn’t mess it up.

“Right,” he said. “Write me a five-page paper on the readings and what you took from them and I’ll give you a B+. And if you only learn one thing in college, learn this: Everything can be negotiated.”

(In fact he gave me an A-, allowing me to graduate with honors.)

More often than not, the professors have been there themselves, having been college students at one point. They understand.

thepaige-turner

One time I turned in the wrong assignment for a final in my undergrad and my professor noticed, emailed me right away, and didn’t dock me any points. She ended up being one of my advisors for my thesis and still writes me letters of recommendation and I’m applying for a PhD now. Professors are not monsters!!!

A Guide To Exploring Abandoned Churches

If you go alone, don’t bring a flashlight. You’ll see things you don’t want to.

Don’t bring groups bigger than 12.

Bring water and some snacks, but no wine.

If you have to sleep there, sleep in the sanctuary, but not on a pew.

If you try to read the hymnal, the words won’t be english anymore.

The Bibles will be blank until you confess.

Don’t go into the confession booth. The man talking to you is not the priest, and you don’t want to know what he really is.

The cross on the wall changes locations, don’t look at it for too long.

If you see someone praying at the altar, don’t approach them. If they approach you, don’t talk to them. Leave immediately.

If you hear the organ playing while you’re in the basement, know that your time is running out.

If it plays while you’re in the sanctuary, your time is up.

Take whatever you want, but if you find that one of your possesions is missing, don’t look for it. Let them have it. It’s not worth your life.

If you find a rosary, don’t put it on. It won’t help.

The water isn’t holy anymore. Throwing it on the demons in the shadows won’t work.

Drink the wine if you wish to never leave.

Don’t get seperated from your friends.

If you spend the night, leave at sunrise otherwise you’ll enter another plane of reality with no way back.

If you don’t spend the night, leave through the doors you came in.

You might look behind you after leaving and see that the church isn’t there anymore. It means that they took what they wanted.

Never enter the same abandoned church twice. Even (especially) if you forgot something inside. That’s a lure. On your second tour through, they will know enough about you to keep you there.

Most shows I’ve seen that mention fan fiction readers/writers portray them as kinda oddball super-geeks with no lives or social skills.

So I wanna take a moment to appreciate the fact that in Parks & Recreation, the character who writes fan fiction is the intelligent, successful, and good-looking primary love interest of the main character.

Also I want to read the full fic he wrote.

sacrificethemtothesquid

It’s only unrealistic because he said he finished it.

wingedlioness

He’s obviously lying, so it’s very realistic.

Here we have Terry from Brooklyn Nine Nine. He’s an Absolute Unit, father, police officer, black, intelligent, kind, a main character……and writes fanfiction from The Good Wife.

Note that both shows are from the same creator. Who also writes Kant fanfiction and calls it “The Good Place.”

!!!IMPORTANT FOR BLACK US VOTERS!!!

I saw this on Facebook and went to check my registration status, sure it was fine because I voted recently, but I put in the info and it said I’m not registered

PLEASE, especially if you’re a Black voter, check your registration status at vote.org

elyseeeeew-deactivated20250306

Know your status

mistressvioleta

Does your last name sound anything like Lopez, Martinez, or Rodriguez? Mine does. When I saw this post I checked my voter registration status online with my state. Despite registering just three months ago, I was no longer registered to vote, and I did not receive my ballot. If you live in a mail-in voting state and you didn’t get your ballot, contact your county election official/county clerk for a replacement.

symphonyofmars

Make sure you check with your state’s voting site as well. I just had the shit scared out of me because that website said I was registered, but when I checked my state’s site (and made sure I had the right county selected) it said I was registered.

It’s worth checking your state’s site every few months anyway (especially when any election is coming up).

Texas is definitely purging voters. They’re also making it harder to re-register if they purged you. I hate that this is true, but POC will need to check and check frequently to stay registered in Texas.

College students, too. In the 2014 election, I had to vote in San Marcos, and I can’t tell you how many Texas State students were turned away because they didn’t cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s on getting their registration transferred and current.
