It was kind of interesting to me that out of all the people in our training group, the ones that were the quickest to form social bonds were the people from way out in the country and the city people just kind of quietly kept to themselves.

But I was definitely accepted as one of the bumpkins.

spock’s room decor is actually fucking bonkers. The weapons??? the big red velvet curtain??? like ok phantom of the opera go crazy.

for reference jim’s room has some photos and a plant so we can surmise this is uniquely a spock being a dramatic weirdo thing

I haven't seen a gifset about this in a while, so I made my own. Now my heart is filled with love too; of course, not as big as theirs.

Jim realizing his partner is not asexual but in fact deeply, earth shatteringly horny every once and awhile and he might be in over his head in the realm of sex for the first time in his life:

So Pro-Palestinian protesters from Columbia University being attacked by two former IDF soldiers on January 19th. These former soldiers are also students at the university FYI and this is what the two guys look like ⤵️

The protesters were verbally assaulted by these men and were attacked by a weapon called Skunk. Skunk is a type of chemical weapon used by Israeli forces. Some of the protesters have been injured and/or hospitalized because of respiratory problems.

As for how Columbia University addressed the issue, here’s a post that kinda sums it up ⤵️

(BTW: The university was at first silent about this attack when it was first addressed)

I highly recommend that you look into what Skunk is if you don’t know much about it like myself. Also here’s the link to the post where I got this info from ⤵️

(The person who made this post attends the university that this occurred at quick FYI)

When talking to toddlers, you have to be extremely, explicitly clear about what you say, cover every possibility you can think of in which they might misunderstand it, and with trial and error and experience, you'll learn to also cover the possibilities that wouldn't have crossed your mind. If you tell a toddler, "whatever you do, do not touch that electric wire. Not even with your pinky finger, because if you do, you will die" and once you're finally sure they understood that, you'll turn your eyes away for two seconds

and they're right at the wire, trying to see what happens if they'll touch it with their pinky toe instead.

You don't usually have to do this with adults. An adult who is allergic to pineapples can hear someone say, "eating pineapple is good for you", evaluate this piece of information, conclude that this is probably true for people who aren't allergic to pineapple, shrug it off and carry on with their day.

Unless you're on tumblr. Tumblr posts must be worded like toddler talk, cover every possibility in which someone might misunderstand it, remember to mention people who do not have this problem you are talking about, cannot employ this solution, or who otherwise have nothing to do with this conversation.

You can't just say "eating pineapple is good for you", you'll have to make sure to specify "eating pineapple is good, unless you are allergic to pineapple, in which case do not eat pineapple". And then get promptly informed that you you forgot to mention people who suffer from some extremely rare cliantro-soap-gene that makes pineapple taste like ass, and consequently offended someone who still ships Harry Potter Characters.

just a reminder that BetterHelp is selling your fucking data and that they themselves have said at industry meetings that they're a data-driven company more than a people-driven company

It feels like for a while in there that people were dropping them as a sponsor but now that the controversy has slightly dimmed there are so many ads for them again; do not give them your information, do not give them your money

I know insurance is a pain in the ass and mental health treatments cost too much out of pocket for most people. So do they, that's why they're making this little bait and switch operation. Helping people is, at best, a side product of their data harvesting, and at worst just a trick to lure people in.
