As we approach college finals in the U.S. I feel it's important to remind people that no level of school failure is worth killing yourself over. Some failures have consequences. Some failures change the course of your life. But I promise it's not over.

If a career path you wanted to follow has closed because of your grades, it's ok to mourn. It's normal to be upset that goals you had are unattainable now, especially goals you've had for a long time. But you can recover. Even if you can't try again, you can find another path that's fulfilling.

If you want to keep forging down the path of academics, I'm rooting for you. Take the time you need to rest your brain. Remember that taking a semester, a year, or a few years off is normal and often healthy. Do what you need to face the next semester you take relaxed and ready.

If you've been bashing your head against the wall that is college and can't seem to make progress, it might be time to find a different path. No matter what people in your life are telling you, not getting a college education is not the end of the world. No one's approval is worth more than your life.

Every day dropouts and D students are living a life more beautiful than you could ever imagine. No amount of academic failure can take away the joy of being alive. If you're not feeling that joy right now, that's ok, but please hold on through this difficult time in your life. Things will get better.

This is specifically geared towards college students but definitely applies to anyone younger than that as well. This is not the end.

btw being excessively nonconfrontational is NOT a positive trait. it does not mean u are “too nice” or just too kind to hurt people, it means u have a problem communicating and you need to work on it.

what often gets me is that you really don’t have to make shit up to criticize israel truthfully and effectively. the israeli government has done plenty heinous shit to criticize throughout its existence. instead you often see conspiratorial statements like, “spotify released this year’s wrapped to distract everyone from israel” or “israel caused the LA fires” or somewhat recently “the groupchat whistleblower left the groupchat to make sure america bombed yemen because he’s an evil zionist” . hello! these statements are not only antisemitic, but also not how anything on this entire earth works.

this is when antizionism becomes antisemitism: all three statements reinforce the millennia-old belief that jews secretly control all world events and are otherwise deceitful evildoers with bad intentions always. ask yourself who exactly these conspiracy theories are benefitting and why it’s not real-life palestinians. and perhaps fucking refrain from sharing unverified information. that’s one (1) small way you can stop yourself from contributing to the rise of antisemitism in the world today! thanks ever so much

really not sure when it happened or why but personally I'm pissed that the queer community at large seems to have given up ground on the "people with penises/vulvas/testes/ovaries" language to sex & gender essentialists in exchange for the much less precise, much more demeaning "AGAB" language.

is it because you're scared of the word vulva? of acknowledging out loud that some people have penises? of recognising that many many people, including but certainly not limited to trans people, have mixed sex characteristics that cannot be accurately summarised by "afab/amab" as shorthand for "female/male"?

"in [GENITAL RELATED] situation AFABs will need to do X and AMABs will need to do Y" there are "afabs" with penises and "amabs" with vulvas. Saying this shit makes you look so unserious & honestly transphobic (given the ongoing erasure of post-op trans people within broader community). Intersex people and GRS have both existed for long enough (fucking forever and, decades, respectively) that we should well past making this basic fucking mistake.

quit referring to people by a vague & often violent event that happened at their birth as though it defines ANYTHING about how they & their body currently operate, and start using precise language so you at least look like you know what you're fucking talking about.

not to be tmi but i was so relieved as a teen when i figured out that my masturbatory fantasies and my actual sex life had literally nothing to do with each other, nor did they need to

i was terrified i was going to end up getting hurt but it turns out when you’re having actual sex with an actual person the things that do it for you can be completely different

i have had plenty of great sex that i’m still not going to fantasize about because when it’s just me thinking about it and not an actual person doing it, it’s not hot anymore

there are plenty of things that in real life are actually just uncomfortable and not arousing at all and i will never do them, but even if i’ve tried it and decided it’s not for me it’s still gonna show up in fantasies because it’s still hot to think about

i mean it sounds stupid and obvious but i spent years either trying to stop myself from finding things hot (spoiler it don’t work), or else letting people convince me that fantasies were talking the talk and obligated me to try walking the walk

Something so profoundly fucked up between the inverse ratio of shrinking middle class and ever increasing aggression of advertisement

All these foolish pastoralists love to imagine a version of rural life that is easy, quaint, and free of oppressive traditional institutions and poverty in a way that has never existed. Unlike me, the wise and enlightened city dweller, who loves to imagine a version of cities that are purely liberatory along lines of race, class, and gender, free of nasty implications like ecological impact, opaque supply lines exploiting distant sacrifice zones to support high population density, and more modern technologies of social control. Which totally could exist bro

I was trying to ponder seriously upon the tensions of the Professional Jockey’s Association, the closest thing that jockeys in the UK have to a union (it isn’t a union, somebody help them) but became unexpectedly, perhaps expectedly, distracted by the Co-President’s … gender? Is it the gender? I think it’s the arms.

Anyway I’m just going to like… put a readmore here and @kungfunurse can join me, to think about arms, nobody else has to and it’s probably best if you don’t.

(It’s the arms)

This was an interesting video because it’s documenting one of the only times the Professional Jockey’s Association was invited to the table to discuss a change in the regulations of their job - changing how whips are used. PJ McDonald is the Flat President of the PJA; the other PJA president is the Jumps President, held by a steeplechaser.

I love that he is doing this and giving this interview while also making this stance and face. Dutiful PJ.

He also assumes a Stance to Talk that makes me instantly feel extremely ride or die for PJ McDonald. He is Geared Up to do some mumblin. You can hear him saying “Erm.” This helpfully gives the camera guy time to sort out his framing, which the camera guy tried to do without making it feel like zooming in on a creature.

At this point it couldn’t be avoided: there are male-presenting nips in frame. There was no other way to do this.

It is so academic to call baselayers any form of shirt. This is just a way of holding up a little white collar so it peeks, as required, through the throat of the silks. (Note how the collar has the most structural integrity of the whole thing.) This is just because if you went straight to the safety vest, someone would tell you that no other profession in the world would put body armour on bare skin. But these things are not, like, clothes.

How thin should the white baselayers be? You should be able to tell he’s a girldad at three paces through it. (I was like: PJ is this an infosec issue?? But PJ is quite proud of his daughters, and at any given interview is announcing their names and shoving photos of them at people, so presumably he’s comfortable with everyone knowing. Also he wrote it on his chest.)

I guess I also need to be drawing collarbones showing through characters wearing these tops. Let this serve as evidence that I’m not being unrealistic in the name of fanservice, this is just the tops.

At which point I gave up on trying to ponder Deep Thoughts on working conditions and the mechanisms of power.

I can’t help it. I love a middle-aged person who is deeply intense and quite off-putting and has never tried to be sexy in their life, and this is Just What They’re Like, which somehow adds up to being very fun to watch. I am both respectfully looking, and stealing gender.

I suppose a single useful take-home message, apart from thinking about 💪, is that you can be inarguably quite short and twitchy and offbeat, and that has nothing to do with your hotness. Short king girldad horseboy mumbling passionately about new regulations may be a type of hotness that is not talked about much, but it IS a type of hotness, that many people will respectfully receive. Maybe that’s good to hear.

And this trick is good too.

they really did make the throat to be vulnerable and easily wounded. some people would call this a design flaw but not those who can appreciate and understand like i.
