spin this wheel of hobbies
how do you feel about this hobby?
it's something i currently do
it's something i used to do but haven't recently
it's something i tried once and liked
it's something i tried once and didn't like
it's something i'd like to try
it's something i don't think i'd like
i don't know enough about it to know if i'd like it
Try to explain to someone that haven’t watched Red Dwarf that these are the same character:
But these aren’t:
i see that & raise that these 2 are, arguably, different characters
And he is also different
ARGUABLY. these 2 are the same guy:
AND these 2 are the same guy:
but THESE 2 are definitely different guys:
and thats not even getting started on these 3
Actually while i still think none of them are the same even though they all are and are imitating each otehr while still being clearly narratively seperate, i made a little graphic to make it more understandable. This makes sense.
Different
i think i fucked it up because i misremembered the left rimmer to be the ORIGINAL, even tho he wasnt. just flip those connectors
this is also a different Rimmer
New graphic to make it more readable
Let’s not forget! We have one of all of them together

So it's come my attention that there are a lot of students, particularly in humanities and social sciences disciplines, who need to hear this, so here goes:
Do the readings.
Oh my God, just do the readings. I promise, it gets easier once you get into the habit of it.
What makes a good student? Doing the readings. Literally just doing the readings is enough to make you a good student.
The readings *are* the course. The lectures are just priming you for the readings. The tutorials and seminars are just how we collectively process the readings. If the readings were intended to be optional, they would have been listed under the "optional readings" heading.
Two job-hunting resources that changed my life:
This cover letter post on askamanger.com. A job interview guide written by Alison Green, who runs askamanager.
Shout-out to @ms-demeanor for putting these on my dash again, I’d like to add this exceptional interview question “answer guide” that explains traps and “the best” way to answer over 64 common questions. I don’t know who to attribute it to, but here it is: PDF from tri valley one-stop career center.
Hey some of these answer templates helped J get an offer letter from her dream job; strongly recommend you read them if you’re job hunting

Everyone loves shortening words to smaller words until they hear my short word for yogurt. I have to sensor myself and say yoggie, which lets be real is the same amount of letters, there is no efficiency to this what is the point other than it sound kinda cute but noooo I try to use my OTHER word and suddenly everyone's uncomfortable all of a sudden...weak
Anyways y'all want some Gurt?
Yoggies are its own separate thing that’s the only reason I’d say it doesn’t work.
Picture for reference
it bothers me that you often don't really hear about people having a "favorite album" the way they might have a favorite movie or favorite video game
fuck it. reblog this and tell me in the tags what your favorite album is
I wish this was my job.
I mean, “Emily” is a nice enough name for a girl.
There, I just earned $1000.
lol I don’t think it’s a rich person thing, parents from all socioeconomic backgrounds use name consultants. I saw a name list recently for parents who wanted lists of names that spell the same forward and back(ex. Hannah) and a different where parents wanted names for twins that looked cool forward and back(ex. Axel and Lexa, Aron and Nora, Leon and Noel etc.) and yes also names that they shouldn’t used use like Lana is Anal reflected. Parents aren’t naming their kids with shitty names because they hate their baby they just want something unique and get too wrapped up with that idea
how to draw arms ? ?
holy fuck
holy fuck is right… but… does it work with legs???
yes !!
but how much extend
^^^^^^^^^^
I NEARLY CHOKED
ENJFDFNFATFVFDF
finally. i can be accurate
This is too fucking great to not reblog
I give it MASCLES
BIG MACHO
LMAOOOOOO
Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:
The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!
So if anyone’s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:
And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:
It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting:
So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:
But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!
HOW THE HELL DID I FIND THIS POST OMG
Licherally in the midst of drawing a guy and crying at how bad the arms are. Thanks Tumbles
I only ever saw the part where people started drawing the limbs outrageously long and genuinely wanted to know how to fix that, so I’m really thankful to see the rest.
Reblogging for my art buddies!
This is super helpful for me now :D
@baddywronglegs
I totally didn’t spend half an hour trying to draw someone holding a coffee cup in a way that didn’t make it look like they’d dislocated about two elbows and a wrist right before seeing this.

took this same photo the other day and forgot to post it lol
Omg same!!
i think if yanks can't even recognise that the only reason they find farenheit intuitive is because they were raised with it, there's basically no chance of being able to get them to analyse all the other, more important implicit biases they've been raised with
like farenheit should be the kind of thing you lead with, you reference it to go 'well, see, your view on the world has been shaped by the society you grew up in, and that leads you to make post-hoc justifications for things that are entirely down to your environment' when dealing with other things. but we literally can't get past the thing that should act as the easy simple analogy for the actual hard-to-deprogram stuff
Europeans mad someone else does something differently than them, more at 11
yanks are also fundamentally incapable of thinking of people who don't live in the west as human beings capable of using the internet, so they just assume that any of the handful of people who aren't from the USA must be from the one other White place on earth. sad!
How do so many people in the notes miss the point so thoroughly in a way that process is point?
Nothing in this post says that Fahrenheit is bad. It literally is talking about how it only feels intuitive to those who grew up with it. Just like Celsius feels intuitive to those of us who grew up with it. And then uses that as the example of how the systems and things we grew up with feel intuitive and right because we grew up with them. Not because they are inherently better or the only way.
And in interrogating our biases, developing cultural competency, and so many other things, it's important to recognize that innate tendency, and the related tendency to make up stories and rationalizations to justify that feeling, and to be defensive or assign value to things that are completely morally neutral things. And that process feels as natural as breathing so we don't notice ourselves doing it unless we actually sit with it and do the work to interrogate it with that understanding... Anyway I just think it's such an important concept.
the post: it's important to challenge the internal biases you were raised with
the replies: but as an American, my internal biases are RIGHT
Maybe because this post relies on not actually talking to people and just coming up with bias too. America is filled with immigrants that came from countries that use Celsius but find Fahrenheit more intuitive after moving to America. How do I know this? Because I’m an immigrant with immigrant friends. I literally had zero concept with what 36 degrees Celsius felt like and still don’t. The only time I think in Celsius is for Chemistry, but knowing the freezing point of water doesn’t do much for me to know what the perfect jacket to wear outside will be.
Also no one what to be called “yanks”
The point of this post isn’t to dunk on Fahrenheit, or any other imperial vs metric system of measurement. It’s to point out a fundamental concept in sociology/anthropology, which is that living in a Society means you have internalized biases and norms which you treat as natural. When I say “you” here I don’t specifically mean prev, I mean everyone. When you understand this, it becomes easier to break down and unpack your own biases. I hope this helps.
I actually did understand the point of the post it’s just a dumb condescending post so I nitpicked on the part that annoyed me most. Maybe OP needs to worry about their own country and the biases they hold since that kind of thing bothers them so much. It’s 2024 internalized bias isn’t a foreign concept, it’s just a pointless reoccurring topics.
“Americans think pancakes and waffle are the only breakfast food when millions of people eat rice”[insert pictures of breakfast from all over the world] okay bias analyzed now what?
“Americans consider dresses to be a gendered item but all over the world men wear things that’d be considered dresses”[insert pictures of non-American men wearing clothes from their country]
“Americans think their blah blah is the best but look at this blah blah”
Maybe I’ve just been here too long but a version of this post has been going around since 2010. I’m tired , the topic is tired. I’m more curious of what internalized biases OP has from living in their country, clearly one of the biases is that Americans are completely ignorant

Ed having no memory of the talent show thing and Stede having no memory of beating Izzy ✨husbands✨
also love anytime Ed learns details about people he thought he already knew. he was so bored with his life and being around all the same people but he never really experienced all facets of that life. he instead made his own point of view the only reality, being totally unaware of even when Fang was scared versus happy. he didn't like being put in the box of Blackbeard but still put others into a box and kept them there. Growth his realizing everyone is just as complicated and unless you stop trying to fill the space with your own voice you'll never learn anything new
lol rewatching 2x5 and how did i not notice the sound of the bell all throughout the kiss scene . its so funny hearing the little jingle when Ed shimmied closer to Stede then more jingles when Stede pulled his head.
