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]”.

[yay855]

I mean, if someone wrote that to me, I’d probably believe they were sick.

[rox-and-prose]

“Slutantions” has me crying laughing

[watermite]

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”

[xakumi]

THE SUBJECT LINE IS THE BEST PART JSJFJSJDJS JUST IMAGINE GETTING AN EMAIL WITH NO CONTEXT OTHER THAN “OW”

[themodernsouthernpolytheist]

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.

[asortoflight]

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

I laugh myself hoarse every time this post comes around, so here it is again.

I have no perception of time. I will be like "I have class in 2 hours... Do I have time to shower 🤔🤔"

I like in the comments some people are like “well, obviously people are getting body mods and who wouldn’t choose to make themselves hot?” and it’s like.

Folks.

If we’re living in the cyberpunk dystopia and I’m getting myself modded up I’m not going to go for “sexy kewpie doll.” I’m going to have myself turned into like, a 7-foot tall monstrosity with Doc Ock arms and laser eyes.  Look, I don’t care if some extra bulk has to be added around my midsection to support the infrastructure, I could give a shit about my waist-to-hip ratio, I just want to be able to scale walls, snatch helicopters out of the sky and throw them at Jeff Bezos.

At the height of the Cold War emotional management project, a new form of mental health practice materialized. As Jonathan Metzl has documented, the nuclear crisis of the mid-1950s was coterminous with the discovery and first mass-marketing of antidepressants in the United States. Psychopharmacology produced a revolution in the very idea of mental health as individuals could now regulate their brain chemistry in an effort to achieve a state of internal calm. Metzl shows how the arrival of psychopharmaceuticals immediately began to replace psychotherapy as the dominant paradigm in treating mental illness. Thus, psychotherapy moved away from personal history and trauma as an explanatory mode for mental illness at precisely the moment in which trauma was both nationalized and codified within the Cold War system. By eliminating history and experience as an explanatory mechanism, mental treatment could be re-imagined as solely a chemical negotiation, not one involving the social contradictions produced by a nuclear arms race. And by calibrating their emotions to the expectations of Cold War society through drugs, many Americans moved closer to normalizing a state of emergency in everyday life. Anxiety, however, was both a resource and a problem for the early Cold War state.

For the architects of the Cold War system within the Truman and Eisenhower administrations, the solution to public mobilization was a new kind of project, one pursued with help from social scientists and the advertising industry, to teach citizens a specific kind of cognitive and emotional attitude toward the bomb. Drawing on the historic concept of defense as a protection of citizens, the federal program for “civil defense” was actually a quite radical effort to psychologically and emotionally remake Americans as Cold Warriors. It turned the idea of public protection—a classic definition of security—into a mental operation, concerned almost exclusively with perceptions, emotions, and self-discipline.

If I drove a bulldozer through an apple store and the cops just shoved me in a closet and pumped me full of DMT for 8 hours id literally just do it again the second they let me out

This is like the best admission I've ever heard that prison sentences are about fucked up torture rather than keeping dangerous people out of society.
