I had a history professor that basically told us “You’re college students, you are in some of the most free years of your life before you go into the workforce for the rest of it. I am not gonna bog you down with extra work during a time when you already got plenty other classes other than this one, and probably a job.”

That woman was a legend and still has my respect for how she ran that course AND made it fun to engage in.

Gosh I hate grind culture. My little sister just started medical school and all of her orientation leaders are like “you absolutely cannot have a life WHATsoever you WILL have to give up EVERYTHING besides this program say GOODBYE to your hobbies and relationships” and now she’s calling me feeling guilty for running and going to the grocery store and that’s just WRONG! And that is exactly what I was told starting law school as well, and rejecting that mentality was the best thing I ever did but it was so hard not to buy into. Anyway if any of you are in an intense academic program PLEASE take time to sleep and eat and exercise and maintain your relationships and keep up your hobbies! you are not a robot who exists solely to study and I promise that living a life and staying physically and mentally healthy is not going to make you fail

"Sooo... What'd you think?"

I believe the art looks awfully similar to the character designer’s style this year. (Natsume Lemon) I think she may have also made the anniversary art for years 1 and 2. (Emphasis on I think.)

She’s got a very specific way of rendering jawlines and noses as well as skin, but seems to experiment the most with color in accents, clothing, and the irises. I think Ellis looks adorable in her style.

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.

honestly, especially in the current state of the world, you all have GOT to kill whatever puritanical voice inside your head keeps insisting that if something is erotic it has no social, artistic, or intellectual merit.

stop acting as if someone can’t enjoy both erotica and literary fiction or classics. it’s not some dichotomy.

stop acting as if erotic art can’t be poignant and meaningful. and that includes all erotic art - not just fine art.

stop insisting that sex scenes or erotic material ruin movies and shows just because you, personally, get icked out watching it.

no, not all erotic art is high art, and not all erotic art is meant to invoke deep intellectual discussion - but insisting that makes erotic art valueless, a disservice to intellectualism, or whatever else - does nothing but add fuel to a fire built on conservative ideology.

The Love-Starved Bear has a Secret

Emma: "This isn't a dream. No matter how many times you wake up, it'll still be here."

Emma: "The happiness you felt, the memories you made, and even me."

Emma: "None of it is ever going to disappear."

(I don't want him to worry that this happiness will fade. I want him to really savor it.)

I held him tighter, silently hoping my warmth could melt away all of his fears.

Before long, his big hand gently covered mine.

Luke: "Yeah."

Luke: "When you're here, it really feels like my happiness is right here with me and not just some dream."

Luke: "Hey, can I ask you something a little selfish?"

Emma: "Of course."

Luke: "I want to hear you say 'happy birthday' again."

Hearing his honest wish made my heart skip a beat.

(I'll say it as many times as you want.)

Emma: "Happy birthday, Luke."

Emma: "Thank you for being born, and for meeting me. I mean it."

I whispered the words I've told him year after year—words I'll always tell him.

He intertwined our fingers, lifted my hand, and pressed a gentle kiss to it.

Luke: "Every time you say that, it makes my chest feel warm and fluttery."

Luke: "And it kinda makes me wanna cry, too."

Luke: "I guess people get kind of emotional when they're really happy."

Emma: "…........"

(That's because you've finally learned to feel something other than hatred.)

This is basically what I imagine their friendship like

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

Lolll

Honestly I feel like he’s largely dismissive of anyone that isn’t Clavis or Leon in terms of how much he listens to them or acknowledges the weight of their presence in any capacity compared to his own.

Question for all my ikepri peeps

Does Chevalier know that Rio exists?

I have seen a few screenshots of them standing side by side, but I can’t remember if Chevalier has actually ever said anything to Rio or vice versa.

Mostly Azel, probably.

Keith's sequel 4 ch (boy's band)

If you can't wait to read this story right now… @.caffedrine made a wonderful translation. Here's a masterlist.

It's just Azel… or do they really look like some kind of K-pop band?

Especially on this background...
