Studying Ojibwe and French right now. Currently collecting CDs, trying to write a poem a day, learning to play Lord Huron and Johnny Cash on my grandfather's guitar, and working on an Ojibwe legends children's book series with my mom. I write poetry, ecolit, nonfiction (like my debut biography book), and historical fiction.

Most stuff here is sfw anything not will be tagged otherwise.

Watching Backrooms movie reels feels more healthy than Facebook scrolling

the part of adulthood that no one ever warns you about is the amount of surfaces you need to acquire to put your things and trinkets on

I don’t want to message copilot! I want to ask Nostradamus.

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

I don't know who my intended audience is here, so whoever needs to hear this, I am begging you to learn to participate in conversations that are about things you aren't interested in.

Part of socializing and having friends is being a good listener even when you don't actually give a shit about the subject.

Your are hurting other people's feelings when you bluntly respond with "Anyway..." and then change the topic.

It can not always be about your preferred topic.

You are being rude. Yes, even if you are neurodivergent. You can be both autistic and rude.

#I have to second this!!#listen even when you don’t give a shit #listen anyways because it matters to them #just as you’d want others to listen to you talk about whatever

I'm trying to like the new D2L but I really don't quite get how it's been improved

have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

venndaai

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

fluorescentbrains

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

muffinlance

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir

I <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks

it is impossible to watch a movie. every night i think i want to watch a movie. no movie gets watched. because it's not possible

mousidy

and yet they keep making movies with the hopes that one day humanity will discover a way to watch them. it's so inspiring

coldswarkids

some of yall sound like. “hey guys is it sinful to learn more than one language? bc the diversity of languages is a result of the Tower of Babel, which is a direct result of man’s sinfulness. if I cave and know more than one language, am I participating in the fallen secular world????? the spiritual reading I’ve been doing doesn’t give me any guidance on this, but I’m gravely concerned for the health of my soul if I engage in a second language”

like sometimes, my friends, we are way too far in the weeds, I think

sheweptamongtheoak

I thought the Tower of Babel is a symbol of a mono linguistic, homogeneous society that is being critiqued. God scattered the people so that there would be diversity- in language, in ethnicity, culture, etc. At least that’s how I interpreted it 🤷‍♀️

#thus by extension the participation in learning languages would be contributing to God’s plan for humanity #anyways #this is coming from the pov of a linguistics scholar btw

Long time, no Picrew!? But here’s this cute one ☺️ find it here!

making a watchlist for the summer yall got anything?

sheweptamongtheoak

Some of these I've seen before - some of them not. Instead of wasting time on my phone I could be watching movies, so that's what I will do

Here’s mine!

I think that media literacy step one for any video is "why is a camera pointed at this?" If there's no obvious reason for a camera to be pointing that way all the time, someone filmed the video on purpose. We aren't a fly on the wall, we're a deliberate audience.

Should I drop a hundred bucks on a neon emerald star
