I love Bauhauzzo, and the lovely amounts of pun that went into his name, design, concept, and commentary on the art and design world.

I would happily sit and weep with him at the Everything that is and was and will be.

originally made this plan for myself but all the Q&A sessions on instagram made me want to share it with you.

everyone, let's do our best and have fun. no pressure and don't take it too seriously. Come on ig if you want more action, details and examples.

The programming/math thing of not getting a thing for hours or even days, then getting it and going "oh I'm dumb "

And immediately after having to explain to your friends you don't actually believe you're dumb and it's not self loathing it's just part of the process

i know that uhura’s role in tos was written to be like a radioman (the guy in wwii movies who carries the phone on his back sometimes) meaning that the “communications officer” role evolved from radioman to linguist in the time since tos aired. but that makes uhura in tos really interesting with a retrospective read of her character, applying things novels and later iterations of her have fleshed out, because she doesn’t do any visible linguistic work in any tos episode. she does security and navigation and piloting and engineering which sort of makes her seem like a valuably flexible sort of many-skilled officer.

it was probably both enterprise with hoshi and the 2009 movie that really cemented the idea of “communications officer means linguist or at the very least polyglot” instead of it just being an uhura-quirk. uhura in the 2009 movie does a lot of engineering/operating work of comm equipment and is implied to speak a lot of languages on top of be able to interpret subspace “noise,” so to speak (like, there’s no way it’s radio. it can’t be radio. star trek takes place across distances of lightyears—when they say “signal,” i’m assuming it’s not radio). and of course strange new worlds has run with the linguistics angle and made it even more explicit that yes she studies linguistics, linguistics is a core part of starfleet academic infrastructure, to the point where whole episode plots are written around the act of translation.

the retrospective addition of this expertise to uhura makes what she is in tos a character even more focused on leadership and, idk, becoming something like a captain, because she doesn’t seem all that specialized. she’s more of a kirk-like character, or janeway or sisko, characters that have a specialized skill but have set it aside mostly to pursue some sort of command. obviously this wasn’t the intention of her character. writers of uhura have mostly just stumbled on the idea of her as a polyglot (according to wikipedia, first introduced in the novel uhura’s song, so) and been like “neat idea! makes sense! explorers need to learn languages!” and kept doubling down on that idea until we get to an origin-story uhura in snw that (wildly) speaks 37 languages, for whatever definition of speak or language, i guess.

what all this overthinking on my part has generated is this idea of uhura very much like a futuristic-captain aubrey or a captain sisko not nailed down to one station, hanging off the shrouds of a solar-sail ship’s rigging, looking beyond, in the most romantic and idealized version of an explorer. i think a lot of people read/write female characters as being more down-to-earth than the whimsical leader-on-the-sea or more nurturing than than the hardened captain-of-a-ship, partly why janeway and burnham are so wonderful to me. but it’s fun to imagine tos uhura being the exploring-captain archetype, amongst the political structures of the 60s. like the additions to her character over the years have solidified that romantic adventurer portrait of her in tos, when the idea of her in command would be the least welcome.

and the fact that she was shown to be excited about a solar sailing ship in snw, like sisko was in ds9 for that one episode, i think emphasizes this read of her—and that her character-journey in snw is going to be how she goes from bookish linguist to “hanging-on-a-shroud-on-a-sunsail-ship” looking out to “sea”.

exam 5 for me... tomorrow!

honestly have been feeling really nervous for this exam since my classmates have either failed it or just barely passed. and i had less time to study this time around because i rushed to book the exam.

so i drew this little encouragement early cuz i need the reminder that no matter what happens tomorrow, i did what i could and i didn't compromise on my boundaries—and that is its own victory.

and i hope that you'll be reminded to celebrate your own big and small victories too!

"You are nervous and that's okay! You did your best! You set boundaries! You took breaks! We're so proud of you, Starlight! Whatever happens, we'll always be here, cheering you on!"

Some interesting bits from Nico's interview on the All-In Podcast, talking about what traits indicate potential to be a good F1 driver:

I think there are a couple of things that would satisfy that, and one is your speed of processing. Because in a racecar, you're going at 220 mile an hour, and you have so many inputs flying at you. And not only visual, also sensual, yeah, everything, and also sound with the engine and everything. And you have to process that so rapidly. How did you train for that? I even had a computer program, which I developed just for myself actually, where I would have all these different inputs: so audio, touch, tactile—I had like a thing around here—and even then visual on the computer. And I would be catching these inputs, like trying to break my record, and the faster I would go, the faster the program would go. So I was trying to develop these kind of things to train my brain to move faster and react quicker. So reaction time is the key skillset of a driver? It's one of the ones. Is there also also being courageous and like something with your amygdala, where you don't have fear? There's that, certainly, yeah. Although I would say that I am actually someone who is quite fearful. Um, and but when you're in it you kind of get used to things, and you start to feel quite safe in the car nowadays. Because I'm not a crazy adrenaline junkie, unlike most other drivers actually out there. Like someone like— Are they? You find that they are adrenaline junkies? Yeah. Like, someone like Verstappen is fearless. Like completely. Or even Hamilton. They're proper...quite nutcases.

Sweltering weather. An even hotter man, cont. day 24 · date pairing: sylus x gn!reader wc: 100 · cw: 18+ minors dni, explicit, smut & crack, oral (giving), deepthroating on his bike, come swallowing, silly ending for @thedrabblecollective's challenge

<- part one (sfw)

The two of you are not 'cooling off', like this.

You, stretched out on his motorcycle, head bent over the tail lights.

Sylus, with his cock stuffed in your mouth, his fingers gentle but steady around your neck to hold you at the perfect angle as he fucks your throat.

He's checked on you diligently—doing okay, sweetie?—but with your permission, as he nears orgasm he pushes a little more, groaning in relief when he cums. You swallow every last drop.

You lick your lips after he pulls out, grinning up at him.

"…So, about that ice cream date?"
