when your art program’s closing message hits you straight in the heart and makes you stop and contemplate the state of it all

[aurosoulart]

because of the huge response to this post, I decided to make a version of the art that includes the text

I’ve also uploaded this design to INPRNT, and all sales proceeds will be donated to environmental and humanitarian charities!

[aurosoulart]

this is still going around with the old dead links - please help me share this version

Information gathering is not the same as knowledge. One is designed for a society with alarmingly decreasing attention spans and the other is body to soul connection. The more I read about this the more it challenges me in moments of research where I seek a quick answer, I have to ask myself “do I want information or do I want knowledge?”

Things that have made me cry today:

General Chemistry

The Good Omens Burning Bookshop Scene

Honorable Mention: The relationship between Donna and the 10th Doctor

[thefloralmenace]

I was recently informed by a science professor I know that journals do not publish papers that don't yield interesting results, and while I understand that journals would rather publish your paper on how you cured cancer than all the things you tried that didn't, I am ENRAGED by this idea.

If you don't publish the experiments that didn't yield interesting results, people are going to waste time repeating them because when they look in the database and see nothing published on them, they're going to assume the experiment hasn't been done???

And then my professor told me that scientists just "assume that if the experiment would be relatively easy to set up, but there's nothing published on it, that means someone has already done it with no significant results." WHAT? That means we could be assuming that important experiments have been done just because they seem to be too easy???

Not to mention that this also encourages people to fudge results towards significance for career advancement because no one wants to spend YEARS on a project they don't get any credit for.

This convention of the culture is DELAYING scientific progress, I guarantee it. Please let me be financially successful enough that I can start my own journal for publishing experiments with no significant results. I AM ANGRY AT THIS INEFFICIENCY.

Honestly the cliche advice is true. If you fill your life w things you’re passionate about, if you challenge yourself every day, if you give your own opinion of yourself more weight than you do other people’s opinions of you, you will actually thrive. Like no one can tell u anything

"ne'er-do-well" is such a harsh criticism like bro ne'er? e'er? like youd think at least some'imes id do well but nope. ne'er

[thebibliosphere]

I know I'm a broken record at this point about how functionally useless editing software has become since AI integration (read: corrections are now being suggested based on user input, not actual grammar rules), but there's nothing quite like a piece of writing software flagging something you've written as an error, and then when you click on it, it can't tell you what the error is.

Just that it thinks something is wrong.

It's like the writing equivalent of the "you better watch out!" meme.

Watch our for what? Nobody knows, but you better watch out!

Look, you have to appreciate the years of data gathering and programming and feedback and analysis it takes to give software an autoimmune disorder.

it's still crazy to me that the taylor swift private jet pollution thing isn't like, a running joke, she actually produced an unnecessary amount of pollution because of how often she uses private jets. she should've voiced the onceler in the lorax instead of that red haired girl

[tillius-the-paladin]

She actively continues to produce huge and entirely unnecessary amounts of pollution because of her frequent use of private jets. It has not stopped. Don’t let this disappear. Don’t let it be swept under the rug. Taylor Swift is actively and single-handedly contributing more to climate change yearly—even monthly—than some people in the modern era will contribute in their entire lives.

In 2022, Taylor Swift’s personal private jet-trips alone emitted 8,293.54 tonnes of carbon dioxide. That is more than the annual per capita global emissions of 1,713 people combined. You want that in USAmerican terms? That’s more than the annual per capita emissions of 574 USAmericans, which includes her personal jets’ emissions and all her other emissions in the averaging calculations, since Taylor Swift is herself a USAmerican.

That’s not her total annual emission statistic. I want to call attention to that. That is exclusively how much she emitted through private jet travel alone. 8,293.54 tonnes of carbon dioxide isn’t even the whole picture.

Do not ignore this. Do not forget this. Do not stop talking about it. It is real. It is killing us. She is killing us.

(And yes, she should’ve voiced the onceler. That’s an excellent comparison to a character who was destroying his world and was still beloved by the people of it.)

Everyone will not just

If your solution to some problem relies on “If everyone would just…” then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At not time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they’re not going to start now.
