The secrets scientists don’t want you to know about:

Their caffeine consumption habits

How many showers were skipped

That they are actually fake scientists unlike their brilliant colleagues

like it might just be me but i think calling anyone’s degree “useless” and “a waste of time” is fucking rude at best. absolutely unnecessary and it’s not just because i’m an english major that’s a fucked up thing to say about any field. there’s a reason all of them exist and the world needs professionals from the fields western society deems “useless” more than ever.

knowledge for the sake of knowledge, learning to really critically think, and collecting that knowledge to share with others will never be useless or a waste of time

you’re going to love again, find a job again, create art again, do what you love again, feel powerful again. you’re going to be back on track. i don’t know when, but you are going to feel like yourself again, eventually. this isn’t the end. hang in there.

People need to get used to the idea of getting older and even romanticize it there’s so much you gain by aging and learning every day there’s beauty in someone whose years show on their face. I’m sick and tired of people turning 25 and being like omg I’m so old I’m having an identity crisis. get a grip. Bitch.

Also stop attaching morality to aging “this is how non problematic people age” no babes that celebrity is an example of how millionaires who have great plastic surgeons and infinite access to any kind of fitness and diet age. Working class people with health issues and mental health issues and addictions and eating disorders don’t look like Anne Hathaway no matter how kind hearted they are lol

not as bad as writer's block, but still pretty bad: when you have an idea you're excited to get out of your head but you can only write it really really really slowly

people who don't know anything about academics: man y'all are stuffy and boring what's up with that? actual academics: *too busy fist-fighting each other over the beryllium problem or the existence of a dentistry profession in ancient egypt to reply*

micewithknives

people who dont know anything about academics: *for some reason have the illusion of everyone in Fancy Academic Clothes doing Boring Research and glossing over Historical Facts Because Historians Dont Like The Truth*

actual academics: someones lying on the floor in a band tshirt they havent changed out of in three days crying over the paper they’re supposed to be writing that was due over a month ago. the whiteboard says “6 hours since our last fight about Whether Silcrete Exists”. someone wants to give their thesis the title “theyre lesbians harold” but cant figure out how to cite a tumblr post as a title because they havent eaten in 48 hours

People who don't know anything about academics: they're keeping this grand conspiracy about these civilizations a secret!!! actual academics: can barely coordinate a time for a Zoom meeting, will infodump about their specialty for hours without prompting

archaeo-geek

People who don’t know anything about academics: How dare these stuffy scientists ignore this poor random dude who has a Theory That Changes Everything (and conveniently makes him a small fortune by selling books and DVDs about the Theory) Actual academics: Has already patiently explained to 40 different people why the Theory That Changes Everything doesn’t make any sense and is also kinda racist, but nobody is hyping their answer because it doesn’t make anybody money or make them feel extra special.

rudjedet

Also actual academics in this case: *vibrating with the only barely controlled need to throat punch Erich von Däniken the dude hawking the Theory of Racist Lies*

Just learned about something very very cool that I’m shocked I didn’t know about before- Paleoburrows.

These are giant tunnels, mostly found in Brazil. Over 1,500 of them are documented.

It was originally assumed that they were dug by indigenous people, and many of them were repurposed into human shelters at some point, but we now believe they were built by prehistoric megafauna.

We know this because of distinct claw marks along the walls of the caverns, unlike anything humans have produced.
