#(learning is fun)

Last night, I tried to paint a jellyfish with my watercolor paints. It was fun. I'm still getting used to the way the paint just does things on the paper, but that's a big part of the fun. I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable using this kind of paint. Next, I need to try to paint a bird or a butterfly. I think that would be a fun challenge. 😁😍

I love fun facts that make people go "how and why the fuck do you know this"

Here's a fun fact for you: archeologists can tell if something is bone or rock by licking it. If its bone it sticks to your toungue if its rock you got a dirty toungue

Fyi this is a take one leave one post. You have now taken my fact so leave one bitch.

My sister once told her perisex cis male friend to wear you on his right belt loop 💀

Oops, I know so many cishet dudes at my school who wear carabiners is no one telling them that’s a lesbian thing, although that’s not as bad as the cishet homophobic girl I know who has a giant scissor keychain on her bag

(Well I just learned a new word because I had to look up what perisex)

romanticize learning, not school

The education system (in the U.S. at least) sucks! School sucks!

High expectations get set on you and you exhaust yourself trying to achieve them

Often, it promotes unhealthy competition and causes you to compare yourself to other students, even though everyone has different skill sets and circumstances

Being neurodivergent makes it HELL

School doesn't DESERVE to be romanticized. Burnout sucks. You're not going "above and beyond," you're trying to push yourself into unbreathable altitudes.

Rather, consider romanticizing learning:

Researching because gaining knowledge is fun, you like how it feels to understand the world around you

Teaching because you want to spread that knowledge to others

Finding your own engaging methods

Giving yourself control. Learning because you want to.

I'm far from being the first person to suggest we might be living in a computer simulation or some sort of end-stage capitalism prison planet. There's no real, definitive proof or way that anyone could have chosen to even be born. That's true regardless of if you're religious, spiritual, agnostic or atheist.

If you're a natalist of some type, ask yourself why. Ask yourself if there is a real moral and ethical reason to allow more kids to be born, which doesn't involve egotism. It's only rational to explore the reasons for why we hold views. Use both logic and gut feeling equitably. It's boring to just believe what a lot of people around you are saying, and not even consider anything else. Is fitting in really so important that you're willing to be bored / boring? It's no wonder so many people are suffering from loneliness; they're lacking curiosity about anything that requires more than the attention span of a fruit fly.

Find things you can become curious about, and find other people to calmly discuss them with. Remember that you're online and can talk to any type of person, anywhere in the world, about anything, at no extra charge. Stop endlessly doomscrolling and watching random forgettable clips.
