Ok. I give up. What can you do with a Bachelor's in English?
as someone with a bachelor’s degree in english, i am inexpressibly tired of people telling me to get highly specific jobs that often require highly specific degrees. “just go write for a magazine!” you need a journalism degree for that. “just teach!” you need a teaching certificate, and also fuck you. “just go work at a tutoring place!” tutoring children with learning disabilities, which make up the majority of the clientele at those places, requires not only a teaching certificate but a specialized master’s degree. “just go work at a library!” you need a master’s degree in library science to be a librarian. it is actually a highly skilled and extremely competitive field. you don’t just “go work at a library,” you train for years in the vain hope that you will get one of handful of available jobs. “just go work at a library.” the nerve. the unmitigated gall. “just go work at a library.” ugh.

Curses you with I want my daddy disease
I regret to inform you that I have absolutely no idea what this means
#genuinely perplexed#i can usually parse the intent of baffling anons but I cannot figure out what prompted this/if it’s referencing something#also i grew up without a father figure for the most part so I don’t really think this curse would work on me sorry

so usually when i feel apathetic i feel
yknow
apathy?
but this time
it’s evolved into anger
and like
ive never
ever
been this angry before
i don’t know what’s going on
and it’s not being caused by outside influence either i don’t think
because ive been hit with good news after good news
i uh
don’t know what to do with all this anger other than
idk
kill a guy????
#genuinely perplexed#im also like. shaking#if that helps#idk what’s fucking going on#if you do please say#or even if you have any way to help me find out what’s causing this#i know it’s not coming across at all but yknow#i don’t really care#avery caws

men be like: not full-glam makeup and not no makeup but a secret third thing Hallmark protagonist makeup
#and listen I love the men who be like#my friend and I were cracking up because we briefly quizzed her husband on whether a given woman was wearing makeup#and he'd be like 'There is no makeup on that woman's face' and we'd be like 'That's a FULL face of makeup'#and his face was so perplexed/distressed#and this man was MARRIED to a woman who rarely wore makeup so he genuinely was entirely makeup blind#y'all think your favorite look is the no makeup look#but if you're ever asked just say you like Hallmark protagonist makeup and we'll know exactly what you mean#x

listen i love kath and will defend her until the day i die but… what do you MEAN you need to know that he didn’t cave for the money you were literally THERE
like she HEARD her dad say "mark my words, boy. defy me and i'll have you and every one of your friends locked up in the refuge."
she was THERE when jack was dragged off to be forcibly locked in a cellar overnight
"i dont understand, if you were willing to go to jail for those boys, how could you turn your back on them now?" girl what do you mean you don't understand what is there to understand
#genuinely if someone has an explanation i would love to see it#bc i am PERPLEXED#i love her but this has always annoyed me#newsies#newsies fandom#newsies musical#livesies#katherine plumber#katherine pulitzer#jack kelly

Minor spoilers for the already revealed chapters of the next A Starless Clan book Wind
#a starless clan#a starless clan spoilers#wind spoilers#asc spoilers#warrior cats spoilers#warriors#warrior cats#tigerheart#tigerheartstar#tigerstar 2#tigerstar#Squirrelflight#squirrelstar#frostpaw#Nightheart#I’ve been wanting to draw this ever since the chapters were revealed and what better time than like two days til the book comes out#i actually think tigerheartstar is an interesting character in this arc he genuinely thinks he’s doing the right thing and he does honestly#want to help. he just does it by trying to crack dad jokes to lighten the mood while trying to run a group that doesn’t want him there#i also think it’s funny that he’s consistently just chill with taking in cats thrown out of their clans. ESPECIALLY from RiverClan#don’t get me wrong he’s super weird in omen of the stars and avos and I think in his super edition (I haven’t read it in a while)#but he’s also a good dad. he’s such a perplexing character I can’t help but find him interesting. at least he DOES stuff yknow#I’ll eat my words if he does turn out to be completely evil or something. but I’ll hate if he does his behavior really isn’t like Tigerstar#-the first. this guy isn’t out here trying to seize power#but ENOUGH ABOUT HIM!! Nightheart asking squirrelstar if frostpaw could come to thunderclan with him was so sweet#i wish she’d accepted I don’t want them to split up I’m worried the writers will forget the entire last book and they won’t be close again#comic#meme#illustration

they brought back the midnight entity, britney spears's toxic, and inserted a hand-drawn cartoon character into one of the episodes as our alien of the week. cannot decide what to think of the current doctor who from afar, but sometimes it feels like I dreamed it
#not watching it but in passing I see what's happening and I keep being perplexed#it is genuinely like I keep waking up and going 'wow that was a weird doctor-who-related dream'#but it wasn't. it's on tv#he really sang at goblins#ruby's mother was really someone ordinary and they didn't build to it the right way#mrs. flood was punk-faked as susan foreman and keeps looking into the camera like dora the explorer#someone hand-drew an animated character to interact with live action characters#they brought back the midnight entity and tried to ruin the mystique that made it so scary originally#they brought back TOXIC. I half expected him to break into song himself in a Disneyfied pop cover#he's traveling with another person in the medical field so she can make quippy lines about him being called the doctor#ncuti gatwa's smile is beautiful and I love a lighthearted callback#but...yikes#this is. this is. I don't know what this is but it's...not doctor who#doctor who#opinion piece#thoughts in the tags#text post#dw#doverstar's thoughts#rtd#russell t. davies#russell t davies#rtd era#modern who#new who#series 15#series 14#doctor who series 15#doctor who series 14#belinda chandra

am I hallucinating or are hideduo fans way weirder about fit x sausage than they ever were about pac x guaxinim
#is this because all the annoying parasocial fans are english speakers who never watched arkanis 😭#i dont like pac and guaxi as a ship its just never interested me but Ive never seen anyone hating on it or getting upset over it's existenc#but i saw someone online earlier genuinely sad? like actually genuinely upset about fit and sausage as a ship existing#acting as if it means that hideduo is dead?#as if hideduo is not an Extremely popular ship ?#and as if fit and pac are not friends who are always gonna interact and like each other?#it just perplexed me man#if you are SO invested in a Minecraft ship that you feel genuine anguish at some people having fun maybe it's time to take a break#discourse#<- I don't intend it to be but I'm tagging just in case#but honestly if !pac gets to kiss other men sometimes so does !fit 😔 double standards smh

The book of essays on the Mughal Empire that I'm reading is mostly really good but there's one essay from 1924 that reads like it was written by a classic Orientalist white boy except—plot twist!—the writer is a (Hindu) Bengali historian. He even says Mohammadan instead of Muslim and talks about the Roman empire 😭 Also he rants about the degeneration and decadence of the Mughal artistocracy which he makes sound really awesome. I think he thinks wokeness (or femininity) killed the Mughal Empire but imo if I were a Mughal aristocrat I too would spend all my time with the harem and the eunuchs instead of joining Aurangzeb's eternal military campaigns. Actually now that I think about it, the essay is a case study in reactionary grasping at straws bc the first half is all about how bad Aurangzeb was at running the military and budgeting and then in the second half he starts rambling about the decline of masculinity and rise in drinking alcohol and how that was the real problem. Idk man the Aurangzeb stuff kinda seems more important...
#like genuinely im so perplexed about why the editors included this essay esp without EXTENSIVE footnotes bc its basically just vibes#the writer was apparently a rly famous historian in the early 20th cent tho. but still!#peyton.txt#currently reading#history#on history#south asia

hey quick question why the FUCK is max flying to baku with hulkenberg and norris of all people??
Hulkenberg is just kinda meh but this whole lando-max toxic friendship just keeps getting weirder and weirder
Like maxy baby do you not realize this man is ready to mock you the SECOND he crosses the finish line before you why are you surrounding yourself with enemies (is it because you were raised to an unattainable standard and now a subconscious part of your brain thrives to please people that can only harm you because-)
Also danny almost immediately going back to ig for the first time in A While™ only to post seven random pics and two movie clips i cannot for the life of me figure out the meaning of? Either very random and hastily put together or a clumsy way to try to say something
Idk the vibes are chronically off is all I'm saying I'm not gonna speculate but my boys are acting WEIRD this rawe ceek
#max verstappen#maxiel#daniel ricciardo#anti lando norris#nico hulkenberg ig#f1#azerbaijan gp 2024#Private jets be weird#Also first private jet max posts in a while??#Like I don't get the thought process I'm genuinely perplexed#This feels weird and uncomfy but i cant explain why?

eating sushi and watching George of the jungle and having more Thoughts, sorry gang
apparently I'm a glutton for punishment cause I opened Twitter again and the first thing I see is some punk ass dweeb being like "I'm glad Bad apologised but I am disappointed that he didn't address his previous behaviour of hanging out around the DTeam making his community uncomfortable too :/"
Like??? Idk just at this point I think it's so wildly and abundantly clear that he's still friends with the DTeam (duh, anyone with eyes or one singular functional brain cell knows that) and if that's so upsetting for people, maybe this is just... not the fandom for them??? No one is ever gonna like every single aspect of a fandom but if you're getting so mad so frequently and saying things as routine as a well established, long term friendship is fucking with your mental health and emotional well being, maybe this isn't the place for you?? Like sorry, but Bad doesn't actually have to cater to your wants and/or feelings. Just... imagine trying to shoehorn an actual real person that you do not know and who doesn't know you into doing things your way because you say so. Bizarre.
Like they walk into DTeam bestie land, where Bad is the resident father figure and has been for a decade, and then cry that DTeam are there. What else did you expect? That's like walking outside only to scream and cry that a cloud has the audacity to be floating overhead. Like going to pornhub and getting all offended that you saw a boobs or, more horrifyingly, a dick.
And they get mad about this same thing over and over every month like???? that bullying him into dropping them is going great, huh? You're really showing him. He totally definitely cares about your thoughts and feelings on his friendships. One more round of disappointed tweets and "idk guys, I might have to unstan :///////" and he'll be sure to drop them, I just know it. Your viewership in particular is very important to him. Heaven forbid he lose you in particular. He'll definitely both notice and care.
#ok NOW I'm done lol#I'm just... so perplexed#like they don't genuinely think they can dictate his friendships right?#now I'm imagining Bad texting Dream like “ugh look what I have to deal with today”#and you just know the eye rolls at this nonsense are soooooo big#also I can see an abundance of pointing and laughing happening
