like idk bro herbaria in general have been on the ropes for a looooong time. duke got closed in biden's america (one of the largest herbaria in the southeast, no one has any idea what to do with the specimens), the herbarium at my school gets cast offs from the IT department because they can't afford shit like mousepads. i just cannot sympathize with people complaining about a lack of funding and support when botany, as a fucking science, has been suffering from a lack of funding and support for decades. i simply cannot care about the plight of people that have been getting the lion's share of the public attention, funding, and support for literally ever. i need to put on my oxygen mask before helping others please fuck all the way off acting tortured because you're experiencing a fraction of what botanists deal with
"omg theyre going to shut down musems... we'd need to move fragile specimens and people would lose jobs blah blah blah......." should we throw you a funeral? should we invite the 6 remaining smithsonian herbarium curators because they refuse to hire new ones once one retires, so they're down to 6/12 remaining curators with no plan to maintain any sort of staff to the national herbarium?
#everyone thinks animals are cool! and tbh i do too theyre neat!#HOWEVER COMMA#plants are cool too. shocking i know. and i think documenting plant ranges and original discoveries is also very valuable

ok no fr that one time that i delivered to a guy that ordered through uber eats and gave me the wrong door code AND didnt give me the uber eats number so i had NO WAY to contact him and get inside the building so i had to ask random guys on their balcony to let me in AND THEN DIDNT COME TO THE DOOR WHEN I KNOCKED..... AND THEN TIPPED ME TWO DOLLARS.........
that was the night i truly became racist.
#>see indian name on ticket >ugh here we fucking go again#yes i dumped it at his door bc fuck you i spent so much time just trying to get inside bc ur a moron#jeets really are just like that too like they DO stiff you and they DO smell strongly of some shitty cologne and they DO have a goofy accen#its all true girl#i was not anti jeet until i moved to college and am around them all the time now i think india should be nuked from orbit

look all im saying is that if i voted along whoever tips me better i would be a deep red trump lover. if the left wants my vote they have to stop stiffing me
#you know its gonna be a shit tip when you start seeing obnoxious dem lawn signs#you know its going to be a great tip when you see obnoxious trump lawn signs#if the guy walks out with a military/cop/2a themed shirt you know its gonna be a good night#part of this phenomenon is that i deliver to both really rural places and college students#rural working class people know that the pizza guy deserves a tip. privileged college students have never once worked for their supper#therefore they do not comprehend the basic courtesy of tipping the guy making $5 an hour#pizza guy posting

absolutely insane that things like orienteering and research project experience are make-or-break qualifications for an internship but basic plant id skills are not. they arent willing to teach me how to manage a proprietary database but they WILL teach someone what an english ivy is. im going joker mode
#this shit is SO GAY#xbox HATE trying to get an internship#if im stuck in jeetsburg over the summer im going to kill myself half joke#like i would be the biggest fucking asset for any company i worked for as an intern i would be on that constant grind#the acf would be begging to hire me back after i graduate i KNOW im a good employee and i KNOW i have what it takes over MOST ZOOMERS LBR#but nooooo you need to have 5 years research experience before an entry level FUCKING INTERNSHIP#fuck all wildlife majors die in a fire animalfags

motherfuckers wont shut up about "college is too easy now" "what happened to learning for the sake of it" "everyone just wants a degree but not to learn" if i actually learned what i wanted in college i would never want to graduate. HOWEVER, i am in a class where i learn about the economics of beef cattle for over an hour
#aw man really? im just in it for the degree? what a cutting remark#btw i am a horticulture major#herbarium not even a bonus because that shit is free#my tuition is paying for 1k spinny chairs that are extremely impractical#they are extremely fun. but impractical. no one sits in that thing

speaking of not being able to get it together: my advisor and i had a meeting at the beginning of the month and shes nice but also not very helpful and she was quite adamant that i would literally suffer and die in plant path if i didnt take babys first ppws class first (plants genes people) as if i am some dumbass that needs to be introduced to the concept of plant diseases and only knows things through college classes and couldnt possibly be passionate about the subject outside of school
anyways we did that meeting in a park near unc because i was just at the herbarium. for fun. 3 hour drive from home btw.
#its just like. sjfhjshfsjhfjshfs why will no one take me seriously#do you think i would have spent all this money to go to this school if i didnt already like the subject???#im 22 im capable of knowing things that i wasnt explicitly taught. im capable of using inaturalist#can i please just have my degree already. if the classes are this boring and entry level i just want to skip to the#arguing with people about hexastylis vs asarum part#please just give me money and send me into the trenches of albemarle county to look for hexastylis chueyi

that last post reminded me have you guys ever seen a picture of a true and honest american chestnut forest. i almost cried in horticulture science n industry on wednesday and NOT because of the green revolution
#sometimes i do this thing where i sit on the floor in the botany section of the library in that class#bc its on zoom and i want to read the books more#who tf cares about apples theres deciduous forests of eastern north america to read#i am literally terminally autistic. like its so over for me if i cant get it together
