What a good allegory for growing up in this hellscape of the world we live in..

(If you're very lucky)

You're born into a world where things are bright and beautiful, adolescence is a wonder of learning new things and really just figuring out what sticks.

Then you grow into the "ReAl wOrLd" where you have to get a job you hate just to survive in a life bereft of joy and beauty. Surviving, not thriving.

What is the point in growing up?

i don't know who needs to hear this, but guilt, self-hatred and shame are not sustainable sources of growth and healing. you can't hate yourself into feeling better, or being better. you can't repeatedly punish yourself for your flawed humanity and expect wholesome results.

So in case you don't know, Jeep people have this thing where they put little rubber ducks on each others cars. I don't know if it was mean spirited from the beginning, but it definitely turned into a silly thing you might find on your jeep when you came back to it. A little rubber duck with a ribbon and tag that has a #jeepducks or something on it. You sometimes see people having whole rows of little ducks in their window.

That gives me the idea for Teslas...

Clowns. Or maybe just a little squeaky red nose and some grease paint. A little tag on it with

"WeLcOmE tO ThE CiRcUs!1! #teslaclowns" or whatever.

And like, a tiny top hat for people with cyber trucks for being the ringmaster of the whole circus.

Is this something?

Absolutely a thing. I started high-school (9th grade) at a large school with over 3500 students. The fake babies were partially an attempt to convince kids to not want to have their own babies. I knew people in middle school that had goals of having a baby before finishing high-school.

Then I moved to a tiny midwestern town with less than 3000 people. My graduating class went from over 900 to like, 90 at a rural school. From the city to a farming community. They said they'd heard of the fake baby stuff. But typically it was just part of a health class and they used an egg with a special sticker on it (so you couldn't break your egg and swap it out).

Because I transferred and health classes were in different years, I got to do BOTH. The baby was annoying, because I knew that I didn't want my own kids since I was like. 8 years old.

The egg was named Bert the turt (we kept joking that it was going to hatch out a turtle) or just "egg-boy!" In the Ed, edd, n eddy style of "ED-BOY".

My team passed because we usually just hung out playing video games and doing band and theatre stuff.

okay americans i gotta ask because as an European i grew up with lots of american shows and cartoons and in a lot of them there was an episode where they give the protags a doll or an egg or a bag of flour or whatever and told them pretend to be its parents or something

Let's FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Might I suggest: The Big Tree. (Van for scale)

https://www.nps.gov/articles/mcbaine-burr-oak-lewis-and-clark-national-historic-trail.htm

The McBaine Burr Oak. It's one of the largest Burr Oaks in North America.

It's a pretty big tree

Get in loser, we're starting an oak cult.

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)

you can get a free digital copy of this poster here on my gumroad!
