I always thought it was a bit weird that when I was younger I was drawn to jobs that involved public speaking because I'm painfully shy lol. My first job out of high school l, all the way up until the lockdowns, was on a disability sports + awareness program and it did seem like it was a strange match until I realised something:

It was a job where I was paid to infodump at people about 2 of my special interests (wheelchair basketball + disability advocacy) for 15-30 minutes where they werent allowed to interupt until a designated time, then I could spend the rest of the time showing people how to play for however long was left. That makes so much sense now lol.

Now if only I could find a job that would let me infodump about dragons and/or space lol

Hii ive bought severed heads and loved it , do you have any other book recomandations? Also maybe some books on angels?

recommending texts on angels is difficult because 1. i haven't read many (which is probably kind of obvious, none of my posts about angels are meant to be some kind of reliable education on angelology, theology, or the occult, just a personal hobby.) 2. it really depends on what aspect of angels you're interested in, because there are several avenues you can approach them from and 3. like a lot of occult/theological texts, i have to be careful what i recommend because some of them are a bunch of insane antisemitic/fascist conspiracy theory bullshit or christian evangelism. however i do recommend the book of enoch and a dictionary of angels including fallen angels by gustav davidson (both of which can be found as free pdfs online through the internet archive) as those, especially enoch, form a good foundational introduction to angels and angelology. paradise lost has some interesting passages on angels and satan/the fallen angels but it's pretty long so how relevant that is depends on how much time you want to dedicate to studying this. i've also heard that edward kelley and john dee (court magicians/conmen from the elizabethan era) did a lot of research on angels, including developing the enochian language, but i haven't read any of that so i couldn't tell you. wikipedia rabbitholes and youtube videos explaining basic concepts like the hierarchy are also your best friend (just watch out again with youtube for the conspiracy theorists).

You know it's bad when the TEXAS legislative agrees to ban "displays of inclusivity" in higher education.

I have to edit my emails to not include the word "inclusive" for my Art Club so that our University accepts it. Apparently one of our Women Organizations on campus was disbanned for this specific reason???

I am pissed.

tbh i wish aup had more reps for characters who achieve greatness purely through hard work and effort. the emphasis on genius/being special is mayhaps way too much to the point that it feels kinda damn depressing for those who aint born as one.

So, are we going to talk about the fact that Tui based the Icewings - specifically their parenting, due to the Gift of Order existing - off of

Tiger Moms,

which is known to be a racist Asian stereotype or…

Hi! Same anon here who made this confession!

In case people would like to know when and/or where Tui said this

She stated it within a National Writers Series Interview, which can be watched on YouTube.

Here’s the link!:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cyxvyrQ_yZw&t=0s

She talked about the Icewings and basing their hierarchy on Tiger Moms in timestamps 17:09 - 17:33.

She stated that she based the Icewings off of Tiger Moms specifically at 17:18 - 17:19.

Hope this helps!

I'm on exam leave atm and it's soo telling that even tho I'm literally a week away from my first exam this is the best I've felt the whole school year. Like yeah I have a ton of revision to do but also I just made brownies yesterday. Like I just went "I wanna make brownies" and I did. I can just fuckin do that now. This is amazing.

as someone whose only tech qualifications are being a bit autistic about linux and submitting small PRs to random github projects it is interesting to read about the inner workings and politics of the tech industry. idk have been considering going to school for cs mostly bc the government pays you to study if it's ur first degree and it'll be nicer than retail 😭 i do hate the tech industry though if i cant find like a nonprofit or whatever who wants me as a tech worker i'd probably just not use the degree professionally lmao

every time i think abt how unschooling affected me i just get so sad lmao. everyone i can possibly think of has had such a drastically different life experience and i cant relate to anyone because of it. no matter how much i try to explain it, nobody actually gets it. i barely even feel like a human.
