#and you can do it too

[chaotic-archaeologist]

My boyfriend is a jewish trans archeology student trying to get back into school after having to drop out during covid, do you have any words of advice or encouragement?

Wow, this feels a lot like being asked to give advice to my past self... if I could go back in time and say something to 2018 Reid (who was going back to school under similar circumstances, although my break from school was not pandemic induced), it would be something like this:

Ultimately, this is an exercise in trusting yourself. Initially, this may be hard to do, and that's understandable—your world has been turned upside down and school did not go how you expected it to. Forgive yourself for this. But with every class you attend, every paper you write, and every test you study for, keep in mind that you are building trust in yourself that you can do this.

Notice that I didn't tie any of those activities (going to class, writing, studying) to the grades you may be given. Yes, you need good grades to pass, but they're also not the best or only metric of your success. You may have hard months or semesters where your grades take a dip, and that's fine. What matters most is how you recover from these moments. Nobody is going to care about your GPA when you get into the real world, and grad schools care more about how you do overall than whether you managed to get a 4.0 every semester.

You're also a different person this time around. You know yourself better. You are more mature. You have survived hard things. Use that to your advantage! Nobody whose opinion is worth a damn is going to think less of you for coming back to take a second crack at this.

Take some deep breathes. Make yourself a plan. Use all of the resources at your disposal to help you succeed. Our society has instilled in us a belief that college is supposed to take four years, and that's just not true. It takes as long as it takes. Make the best out of this experience now that you're here.

-Reid

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O

it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”

the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997

it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)

two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama

and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio

edit: it has been brought to my attention that the native american “legend” part of this post was a rumor spread by a documentary.

i have been asked to remove it, but i believe in letting my errors stand because i’m not perfect. i make mistakes

how does Pinterest see you?

search up fashion, pantone, mood, food, and then save the first picture that comes up!

Bruce is at a gala, okay, and he’s talking to a woman.

Random woman: “And we found out that we’re having another child!”

Bruce: *absolutely cackling inside, because this is about to be the funniest thing he’s done in weeks*

Brucie: “That’s wonderful! Where are they? Can I meet them? How old are they?”

Now Brucie is standing there, scanning the room for children with a huge grin on his face, while all of the random rich people stand around like ‘who’s going to explain to the adorable, well-meaning idiot that most people know they’re going to have children a few months before the children are born.’

And worse, who’s going to have to break the news to him that he can’t meet the kid today?

Because this man… this man has acquired all of his children with zero premeditation. Yes, he does have a bio kid, but that one showed up on his doorstep as a preteen. He did even less acquiring with that one than with the others.

Bruce has a blast acting out his disappointment, and has to turn some so that he can no longer see Tim and Cass leaning against each other and laughing, because otherwise he’s going to start laughing.

Listen, you should never film strangers in public without their consent, but I swear there need to be fines or something for people who do that shit in some spaces. For example: I had to go to the ER last night, and some jerk filmed a woman who just came in and was clearly having an asthma attack. She immediately got to go back, and he was unhappy about that. Believe me, I get that it sucks having to wait when you're in pain, but you don't get to pick who deserves care when. The medical system in the US is a nightmare, and the ER could be the worst moment of someone's life. No one deserves to be recorded because some jack ass believes someone doesn't look like they need care.

This is fine to reblog. People who film strangers should be shamed if nothing else.
