Summary

Sometimes, you don’t realize how much you care for a person until you’re faced with a life changing situation.

Or

Meredith takes comfort in imagining someone unexpected when she has to pull a bomb from a patient’s chest.

Maybe I missed it along the way, or maybe I just don’t know where to look.

How did Madame Morrible end up the way she did?? This bad ass sorceress that can manipulate the fucking weather ends up second to a powerless human who landed in Oz by coincidence? Did she not want to be in the Wizard’s place? I could understand that honestly.

Was she doing the Wizard’s bidding or was the Wizard her puppet? If it’s the first idea, why would she do the Wizard’s bidding with all that power. If it’s the second idea, what did she have against the animals of Oz? I know she doesn’t like that the animals speak when she feels they are there to be seen only. But why does she feel this way?

Did she step back to let the Wizard take over because of his charisma and charm? I don’t quite see this as the reason, because she possesses a great deal of charisma and charm. She is equally as capable (if not more so) as the Wizard when it comes to shaping the narrative to fit her plans.

Was the Wizard another one of her creations? The same way she tried to shape Elphaba, and the way she did shape (read: manipulated) Glinda. Is the Wizard her greatest work before Glinda?

TLDR: Madame Morrible is an incredibly capable and powerful woman, but a guy who landed in Oz by a balloon and coincidence is the figurehead of this land. Why?

[I’m sorry. This has just been bugging me since the first movie, and I hadn’t thought to say it/type it until now.

I know not every villain needs to be given a backstory to explain their actions, but I just find her interesting.]

[xx-moonlight-xx]

And when she’s finally ready to come out and tell everyone the truth, she ends up back in a closet, because people are after the woman she loves. The woman she loves wants to protect her, because she’s already lost everything, and she doesn’t want her to lose that too.

[Is this accurate? Maybe, maybe not. But it’s how I interpret it at the moment.]

[xx-moonlight-xx]

“He loves her.” GIRL, SO DO YOU! Damn it, stand up and go be gay and do “crimes” with your girlfriend (and your girlfriend’s boyfriend) or something 😭

Yes, I just saw the movie. No, I’m not okay. This is my therapy, because I can’t afford the other kind.

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

[three-blogs-in-a-trenchcoat]

Listen, this is serious.

Do not use the website called Sci-Hub!

It lets people access scientific articles for free. This is dangerous. It helps the free flow of knowledge and reduces the competitive edge of all the people who worked really hard to have been born into a wealth.

Like, it’s literally a website where you can type in the DOI of an article and read it, without ever having to pay the publisher who exploited the author.

So, again, do not, under any circumstance, use Sci-Hub. I mean, can you imagine a world where knowledge is free and easily accessible to everyone? Even, y'know, poor people?

[whateverthebeeswant]

Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.

[three-blogs-in-a-trenchcoat]

Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.

Reblogging so you know which sites to totally avoid

[professionalwritingnerd]

[irockasingranite]

Another inside tip from academia: Those papers in really expensive journals that are effectively inaccessible to anyone not in a university network? Depending on the discipline it’s very likely that same paper is on a “preprint” server somewhere, with no access restrictions.

Like if you want to read basically any physics, math, or CS paper, arXiv.org will have you covered, because everyone uploads their papers there before submitting to a journal (and generally updates it after peer review). I know all of my papers are on there. This is such common practice that journals have it baked into their licensing agreements that authors retain the right to upload their work to these places.

So the next time you get hit with that paywall, you may not even need sci-hub, just click the arxiv link on google scholar instead.

[twinkenjoyer-deactivated2023083]

if for some reason none of this works, the old “send a email nicely asking for the paper to the author” is always a good trick. remember most scientists hate the commercialisation of scientific knowledge

[afoxwithpenguins]

Don’t mind me, just gotta share this with my bf so that he knows what websites to avoid

[astudyinpanda]

Many authors of papers are on ResearchGate! You can ask for papers there, if they don’t just post a copy to download. If they’re associated with a college, you can usually find their email addresses in the department directory, also.

[viking369]

Always reblog.

[42bakery]

For science people can I suggest https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/? They have a bunch of papers and if they don’t have, they at least offer the DOI or page to access so you can go to SCI-HUB.

Also another trick get the paper you want and search the tittle in google or your search enginee. Sometimes you can hit the jackpot and get another page which host the paper for free or a paid journal by your university (in case you are using their network) or a similar one from the same authors that can literally save your ass. Like in my case it lead me to a National Geography communication page where the basic information about their discovery was posted and helped me.

[hotlightning]

ok chat I got another question for you.

my coworker recently told me "it's normal for your bedroom to not have a door lock".

to which I looked at him with abject horror.

Were you allowed to lock your bedroom door growing up?

Not even allowed to have it closed

No. parent's house, parents rules, etc.

This wasn't a problem for me

My privacy was respected (yes)

I haven't abandoned this story. I just put it on the back burner for now. The story is just on a small vacation. It is currently out of office. It can't come to the phone right now. It just fell under my bed to sleep with the monsters. It never left my head. It is everywhere - except on paper.
