actual criticisms of academia:
cost of education acting as class barrier
exploitation of graduate workers
colonialist past and present
ties to military industrial complex
danger of power structure entrenching and justifying orthodox views on social issues
criticisms of academia that get made:
those damn ivory tower academics are wasting money learning about things

being a Taylor swift music enjoyer but not a swiftie might just be a curse because now my feed is criticism from cherrypicking lines out of context and people worshipping her like a God who can do no wrong when she's just a person
tumblr becomes capable of allowing me to enforce my boundaries, impossible edition

There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

The Prophecy, Cassandra, The Bolter added to tops list
thanK you aIMee and The Manuscript are probably a few listens from the tops list.
Peter is a vibe but I think it needs to grow on me.
the rest of the songs are somewhere on the like side of things, but I need to get attached to them, kind of like my first listens of folklore and evermore. No doubt this is gonna become a regular album in my listens and is gonna DESTROY my spotify wrapped.
the whole album is great for when I can't listen to really loud or energetic music, which is one of the reasons why I like Taylor's music: she's got a whole range of songs for different moods.
tortured poets department is a vibe so far and I'm only at I Can Do It With a Broken Heart
so far my tops are But Daddy I Love Him and Who's Afraid of Little Old Me

reblog if you enjoy napping, being cozy, being conked out, snoozing, wrapping up in blankets, sipping a hot drink, catching some z's, hugging a plushie, or otherwise relaxing and resting

some good news articles I found
Recent breakthrough in combatting brain cancer
Major discovery in coral reef restoration
Thought to be extinct since the 18th century, 5 Gray Whales have been discovered alive and well
also this cool funny bird is doing alright too
2 million pounds of plastics and trash removed from the ocean by one nonprofit
Tidal power being used to power 1 million homes, largest tidal power project yet
and as a bonus thousands of 3D scans of animals have been published, which is very cool for anatomy artists and will increase the number of skeleton drawings in the world which is nice

me but pixels. 6/10
You suddenly switch bodies with your icon. On a scale of 1 to 10, (10 being the highest value) how well are you coping with that change?
