“After thirty years of intensive research, we can now answer many of the questions posed earlier. The recycle rate of a human being is around sixteen hours. After sixteen hours of being awake, the brain begins to fail. Humans need more than seven hours of sleep each night to maintain cognitive performance. After ten days of just seven hours of sleep, the brain is as dysfunctional as it would be after going without sleep for twenty-four hours. Three full nights of recovery sleep (i.e., more nights than a weekend) are insufficient to restore performance back to normal levels after a week of short sleeping. Finally, the human mind cannot accurately sense how sleep-deprived it is when sleep-deprived.”
— Matthew Walker PhD, Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams (via themedicalstate)

Sleep is a super power
That last bit makes a whole lot of sense and it honestly astounds me, that I never once considered it.
But yeah that seems very obvious.
Finally, the human mind cannot accurately sense how sleep-deprived it is when sleep-deprived.
"you're the heart" and then it's a character who isn't allowed to do anything or feel anything or exist outside of the relationship he's unhappy in. and the only time that he actually embodies being the heart is when he has his totally platonic friend hyping him up . whatever whatever whatever
this was still crazy btw
I also love sweet chivalrous Paladin!Mike but I feel we make him too sweet. That's still Mike Wheeler, y'all.
He may not say "You piece of shit" but you bet he says "Thou hast the honor of manure and none of the use."
"Should my name be spoken, tell them I am gone from this land."
"Must thou assault us all with thy chewing?"

the thing is when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from supernatural they usually mean "it was invented by the supernatural fandom in a fanfic". on the other hand, when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from star trek, they mean "it was the plot of at least one star trek episode"

my first reading in my African history class this year is about why using “tribe” to refer to ethnic groups stems from a racist desire to make African conflicts sound primitive or stemming from a desire to pretend that these are just ancient conflicts that have always existed. great article and I also feel like I’m vicariously experiencing the bullshittery that this author has been subjected to from people they’ve tried to talk to about this. like the article remains extremely professional but you can just hear in the tone that they’re talking through gritted teeth, you can practically see the customer service smile
[ID: a screenshot from a section of the article titled “But why not use ‘tribe’? Answers to common arguments.” Under the bullet point for the argument “Africans talk about themselves in terms of tribes” is written, “Commonly when Africans learn English they are taught that tribe is the term that English-speakers will recognize. But what underlying meaning in their own languages are Africans translating when they say tribe? Take the word isizwe in Zulu. In English, writers often refer to the Zulu tribe, whereas in Zulu the word for the Zulu as a group would be isizwe. Often Zulu-speakers will use the English word tribe because that’s what they think English speakers expect, or what they were taught in school. Yet Zulu linguists say that a better translation of isizwe is nation or people.” /end ID]
translation: “ ‘Oh ho ho but some Africans themselves say tribe!’ You dipshit. You fucking donkey. When someone has a word that means “nation” or “people” in their own language but then when they learn English YOU TELL THEM IT TRANSLATES TO “TRIBE” then THAT WILL BE THE WORD THEY USE. Maybe if you LISTENED TO THE LINGUISTS OF THAT GROUP you’d have more accurate information. Asshole.”
each point is repeated over and over with like five different examples because you just know there are dipshits out there who will keep arguing.
to the anonymous author of this article for the Africa Policy Information Center I hope you have a good day every day and experience fewer people being assholes about this, your patience is actually legendary
I fear a fresh wave of the plague
Update from twitter
i want to explain to people- the lower bit is accurate you probably pay way more in taxes/rent then a medieval peasants well as have less time off of work
one of the hardest things to learn as a depressed former Gifted Kid™ is that half-assed is better than nothing. take the 50%, 40%, even 20% job. scrubbing your face is better than not taking a shower at all. picking up your clothes is better than never cleaning. nibbling on some bread is better than starving.
DO THINGS HALFWAY. NOW YOU’RE 100% BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE BEFORE.
One of my college professors used to say “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.” I didn’t understand that for years because I didn’t do anything poorly, I couldn’t do anything poorly, I had to Do Everything Perfectly.
But brushing your teeth for 30 seconds is better than not brushing them at all when that 2 minutes seems exhausting. Doing ten minutes of yoga is better than 10 minutes of sitting when 30 minutes of cardio sounds impossible. Changing my clothes is good when a whole shower is impossible. Standing on the porch for a few minutes is worth it after being in the house for three straight days because I don’t have the energy to go anywhere.
Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly… because doing it poorly is better than not doing it.
someone please hit me over the head with this post every day for like the next week thanks. a mention, a reblog with text, a message, something.
Remember to eat, my loves!

If everything goes well AND MY DESIRE TO CONTINUE COMICS STILLS THERE, I will return to making sequels or things related to my alternate universe. For now, it was just how they met.
Maybe I'll do a shorter one later, depending on the context. Also, if all goes well, you can go to the questions section and I'll answer anything (even with art) about it.
First fact: Will’s mark can be made invisible with magic, but it consumes a lot of energy. (It’s a mark of cursed users.) The mark can spread across his entire body, and it turns completely black when the curse takes control of him. The mark reacts to his emotions—negative emotions are what make him lose control of both himself and his magic.

platonic love ( family and friends ) is the most important thing in life for her;
she lets her hair grow veryyy long and wavy, always styling it with star clips;
she likes warm waffles with maple syrup and wool sweaters with heavy hiking boots ( styled together with fuzzy socks for the harsh winter days in the cabin );
she loves to collect little trinkets and jewelry;

#1 plaid pattern clothing and adidas shoes user;
being an artist is everything to him, he’s a sharp observer of the world around him like no one else;
he mostly likes to do pencil and charcoal drawings, but oil painting is welcomed when it comes to making a gift for someone he loves ( gift giving = his love language );
BIG david bowie fan, no questions asked ( everyone says “ thank you, jonathan! ” );
always with a sketchbook;
helps illustrate some of mike’s ideas for their campaigns all the time;
he and el have always talked about growing up together and, after her traveling shenanigans, her coming to his NY apartment for them to go to gay bars in the city and listen to madonna;

he loves allstars and has at least 3 different pairs, all completely worn off ( his mom is always complaining about it );
he writes at the most weird times, sometimes it’s 3 am and he’s still with his table lamp on and a journal in hand ( inspiration comes after lots of cups of coffee );
BIGGEST lord of the rings nerd, read all of the books at least a bazillion of times;
ended up loving the smiths ‘cause will told him about how cool it was and now he thinks of him every time he listens;

I love being a nerd, because you find other nerds who bring old classics back to the big screen. Next up is The Thing, and I’m SO excited!
Last song: Either Dark to Light or On Fire by Louis Tomlinson. I’m obsessed with his new album! Still waiting for my signed record though 😭
