May you always have money to feed yourself, put gas in your car, pay your rent/utilities , pay your tuition, pay your medical bills/prescription AND to treat yourself more often.
I used to think communication was the key until I realized comprehension is. You can communicate all you want with someone but if they don’t understand you, its silent chaos.
Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.
Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.
I mean, if someone wrote that to me, I’d probably believe they were sick.
“Slutantions” has me crying laughing
i once emailed my professor with a migraine. a mistake.
“I amsick will not to choir because i have a heache. i Hope its very and i am so sorry
love,
blue”
the subject line was “OW”
THE SUBJECT LINE IS THE BEST PART JSJFJSJDJS JUST IMAGINE GETTING AN EMAIL WITH NO CONTEXT OTHER THAN “OW”
As someone who has taught college, please send those emails because 1) We WILL believe that; no one would write that on purpose and 2) we need a laugh sometimes.
On the other side of this, once after getting taken to the ER by ambulance, I got an email from the professor whose class I’d passed out in, and the message had no text, just the subject line “you good?”
Reblogging for the last addition
Claritin makes me weird, but I have allergies so there’s about a month and a half block of time where I’m taking Claritin and am just weird most of the time.
Anyway, my last year of college, I got the flu or something in late March and was also taking Mucinex. I told my professor I couldn’t come to class one day by email except I couldnt think of what to say, so my medicated ass decided to make a Fry meme. I think it said something like “Not sure if I can go to class with a head the size of Texas, bottom text.” I didn’t think until the next day that it probably wasn’t socially-acceptable to tell your philosophy professor you weren’t coming to class via Tumblr style memes. When i got back to class, i found that she’d printed it out and taped it to the classroom bulletin board.
Oh shit you guys i turned on my WinXP laptop that I used to use back then.
IT WAS ON THE DESKTOP. THIS IS WHAT I SENT.
It’s even worse than i remember it
AFTER 13 YEARS, JAMIE SPEARS HAS FINALLY BEEN SUSPENDED AS BRITNEY'S CONSERVATOR
I hate it whenever a psychological or sociological term goes viral and people overuse and decontextualise it to the extent it has no meaning in six months. like. that term was necessary and now its wrung dry. we no longer have the tools to discuss the phenomenon that term was describing because its lost all credibility. who can take "gaslighting" seriously anymore? this shit is deliberate and borderline malicious.
can i just state that this isn't academic gatekeeping, this is specifically about how academic terms used by victims and marginalised people in and OUT of academia to describe their experiences are appropriated and meme-ified as a way to mock them and then that mockery becomes mainstream and the term loses all meaning
honest to god can't stop thinking about this song about jeff bezos by philip labes (link takes you to his spotify). it's such a good example of politically driven folk music.
Lyrics:
Jeff found a genie in a bottle Who said, "I can give you anything you ask" "You can have your wishes three And a million more for free It's unlimited, just set me to the task."
Well, Jeff thought a while, Said, "I want houses, "I want boats, I want fancy modern art, I want tickets to the Met, I want my own private jet, And a rocket into space just for a start."
Well, the genie waved her arms and made it happen His every wish bolted from the blue And folks all over town grew enamored, gathered 'round To admire the man whose wishes had come true
They said, "Let's hear it for the man who has everything! By good fortune he's been set so far apart." "Yeah, let's hear it for Jeff who has everything! 'Cause his wishes are only at the start."
Well, Jeff heard their shouts and he grew worried He said, "Everybody's getting in my way." The genie smiled as before, "You've got a million wishes more. You can even give a bunch of them away."
Well, Jeff got confused and sorta quiet 'Til he finally said, "I have just one wish more." "I am satisfied, so I wish that you would die So you cannot grant wishes anymore."
Well, the genie's eyes got big and sad and shiny 'Til she finally said, "Your wish is my command." And with an effervescent sigh, she disappeared before his eyes And no wishes were ever granted there again
So, let's hear it for the man who has everything! By good fortune he has set so far apart Yeah, let's hear it for Jeff, who's got everything! Every single fucking thing except a heart
The only reason there are pyramids in Egypt
is because they are too heavy to be carried to the British Museum
jeff this isn’t a joke this is legitimately true
I have 3000 followers now so here's some tips for you all:
clean your scrapes and cuts; yes, even the small ones
use moisturizer and hair oils and stop overwashing your body
don't mix cleaning chemicals for the love of god, especially if bleach is involved in any way, that shit CAN and WILL put you in the ER or in the ground
invest in a food processor or even a small electric chopper, it's worth it, I promise
"common sense" isn't real and we all have to learn things at some point; some people just learn things a bit later than others and that's okay
regular sleep is important but some people are just wired differently and it's okay if your natural sleep cycle doesn't line up with how society is structured
don't quit any prescription medication cold turkey unless it's discussed in detail with at least one medical professional
stop asking yourself if you can survive without an accessibility aid and start asking if it will improve your quality of living instead
just be kind, to yourself and others
This is so lovely and kind, thank you

My first thought was, “It’s STEAM now, they’ve added arson” and I check the notes and like 15 other people have had the same thought. Well done everyone
m/f ships are fun actually you guys just think m/f means cishet white and misogynistic
cant stop thinking abt ursula k. le guin’s essay abt the carrier bag theory….. she’s like, maybe the first human tool was not a weapon, but rather something that holds, a bag, a pouch, a vessel, something for gathering and storing and sharing. let’s shift the narrative of humanity from that of violence to that of safekeeping. and i’m like
and THEN she’s like, a novel is also a carrier bag. there’s the Hero’s story, sure, but there’s room enough in fiction for every experience, for every little thing, and it’s that other story, the life story, that she seeks……. o|-<
turns out the entire essay is online (thanks, Anarchist Library) and i really can’t recommend it enough
shout out to all the people who identify with gifted kid burnout syndrome who are probably just neurodivergent but werent diagnosed as a child, who used to devour books like it was nothing and never really understood why the protagonist would leave their cool fantasy world behind to go back home at the end of the story, and who are now extremely disappointed in reality and use escapism as their primary coping mechanism. how’s that bisexuality and deep-rooted anger at the school system going for you?
op you couldve jus come to my house n punched me in the face
Oh no, we just couldn’t have that now, could we?
Literally should be the point of renewable energy. The point of society in general should be to make as many things cheaper or free as possible.
