Land of Procrastination

My name is TJ. I'm a 22 year old on her way of becoming a (let's hope decent) veterinarian. Please enjoy my mind-farts

listen. aging into your thirties rocks. yes your joints get a little creaky. yes you can’t sleep in a pretzel on the floor anymore after a concert or a convention. and you lose some friends. but the thing is that you sort out who your real friends are and you sort out who you really are. and you get to see your friends settling into careers they like, and adopt new dogs and cats, and you find a job you can stand, and get really good at arts and crafts, and maybe that book you loved as a kid gets a movie deal and it doesn’t suck, and you learn to like new food and bake your own bread, and you realize that the great portfolio of self harm scars you all used to curate are going white with age and not updated, and half your friends are a different gender now and so much happier and maybe you are too, and you know who you are, and that it’s a journey and not a revelation. it’s a direction you’re headed, and you’re enjoying the trip.

reaching your 30′s rocks. and i’m hearing good things about what comes next, too.

i am looking into your eyes, i am holding your hand. i absolutely promise.

if you can just live long enough, your soul will build your body into a home. you will live there and you will find a way to be at peace. it’s worth the time and it’s worth the work. i promise.

Seriously guys. Hold out until your thirties, it gets so much better. You get to be yourself, and no one can stop you

[unreconstructedfangirl]

And more than that, wait until your 40s and 50s, when you stop caring what naysayers think about who you are because you KNOW, and you are ok with it. Wait until you realise that even at the unimaginable age of 50 (and beyond!) you are still a changing, growing, learning human being, only now you can just let so much bullshit go (shame, fear…) and just live into your greatest loves. Wait until you find your people and start to feel like you have something to give because you aren’t just barely holding yourself together anymore. Wait until the love you feel is freer, less greedy and grasping and more just a thing that gloriously exists and lights you up from the inside, like your heart is a hearth that the people you love warm themselves by.

IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIIIIME OF THE YEAR

[therandomnesslover]

Just over 6 hours into the p4a livestream!!!

 And to think when I first started participating in p4a, back in 2013, reaching $700,000 at the end of those 48 hours of continuous streaming felt like such an achievement...

GUYS I FIGURED IT OUT

Okay so you know how in Beauty in the Beast…

This lady can’t afford six eggs, which always struck me as a little odd but I figured maybe that was normal in a poor French village. I mean, look at all the little kids she has; she probably struggles to afford any kind of food that would feed all of them… Right?

But later we discover something interesting about Gaston:

Gaston eats five dozen eggs every day. That’s 60 eggs. SIXTY. Which adds up to 420 eggs per week. No wonder this poor village doesn’t have enough of them to go around!

Gaston, who is very well-respected and successful and probably makes good money from his fabulous hunting skills, is cornering the entire egg market. To feed his addiction, he probably has to constantly go around and buy out every farmer’s supply of eggs, which causes the price on any remaining eggs to skyrocket.

Gaston is singlehandedly destroying the town’s economy.

Way to go, Gaston. You may be popular, but I’m sure that at least the chicken farmers were relieved when you fell to your death.

You need to watch this, basically almost all nursing homes here in Portugal are doing the bottle flip challenge and it’s the best thing ever. Here’s one of the videos

[itshaps]

This semester I assigned myself to draw Portugal in the Steven Universe style! Tbh I can’t even believe they all done SMH! Steven Universe and @rebeccasugar is a huge inspiration to me

Well! Here’s some of my faves! Enjoy!

i just have this persistent feeling of “i’m not doing enough” combined with “i don’t have the energy to do anything” and it just really fucking sucks

[aurol]

one of the worst feelings ever is being in your own house and feeling like you need to go home

tell me this isn’t the cutest thing I’ve ever seen

People Are Dying Younger Because America Keeps Failing the Bad-Break Test

In the richest country in the world, it shouldn’t be the case that one bad break can trigger a downward spiral to death.

I think this is something most of us know but haven’t really spent much time thinking about.

The one-bad-break test states simply that you can tell a lot about a society by what happens when its economically vulnerable members encounter a majorly bad break. That bad break can be anything — an injury, the sudden need to take in and care for an ailing relative, an unexpected layoff — and the effects of a single bad break vary tremendously depending on who you are, where you live, and what resources you have access to. (Rich people hit bad breaks too, of course, but they generally have far more capacity to handle them than everyone else, so I’m restricting this discussion to those who lack those resources.)

In societies that function well, there are various safety nets in place to prevent a bad break from leading to a tailspin for particularly vulnerable victims. Compared to many other rich nations, the U.S. is not such a society — all too often, when vulnerable Americans encounter a bad break, there’s nothing underneath them to stop their slide. Instead, devastation follows, sometimes in the form of bankruptcy and addiction and death.

It’s pretty sobering to realize how many people you know that are just a couple of paychecks away from being homeless.  Do a quick thought exercise:  If you got fired right now, what’s your game plan?

So I’m in vet school and like many of my classmates have worked in a vet clinic previously. Many of us (myself included) have experienced the male dog owner who refuses to get his dog neutered because he “doesn’t want to take his manhood away” (the real issue here is fragile masculinity but that’s another story). But anyway intact male dogs are more likely to get a tumor of the testicles called a Sertoli cell tumor that will produce estrogen and cause a feminization syndrome where their mammary glands (dog boobies) enlarge. So a dude who doesn’t want his dogs manliness taken away can basically aid in the development of his male dog growing tits and if that ain’t the richest irony Idk what is
