It's always a good time to start wearing a mask again if you stopped :3 especially as we go into the colder seasons. please :3
Reminder that you don't have to do all or nothing for Masking! It's obviously much *better* to mask all the time, but even just masking in busy areas like grocery stores or public transit (and especially concerts, etc) helps to protect yourself and your community.

My friend forgot to secure the latch on his magic card briefcase and all his commander decks are now mixed together. Now he’s playing 1200 card pickup and has to reorganize everything.

i think getting an undergrad degree should come with a free "second try" voucher, where if you want to go get a second different degree from any school because you picked the wrong thing as a 17 year old, its totally free to try again
This, and also: adoption of the American 4-year undergrad system. Maybe make it five, idk.
There's a lot about American educational systems (plural) to be desired, but the fact that you don't have to declare a major until year 2 is a) sort of unique, globally speaking, and b) much more forgiving than entering a 3-year program you chose when you were 17 and getting stuck on a single track forever.
It also allows (and even, through gen-eds, requires) students to explore things outside their target major - to take classes that have fuck all to do with that major and plug any gaps in their high school education. And don't try to tell me other countries don't have those gaps; I lived and went to high school in Europe, and I promise you, there are always blind spots.
Example: my freshman roommate and I both entered university planning to do the same major and taking the required courses together, as well as a few gen-eds (general education credits) and electives separately. By the time we graduated, I had stayed in the International Studies program, gotten an English lit minor, and taken a bunch of Medieval history and anthropology courses I thought were cool. She had switched her major and got a degree in graphic design (at the same university). The system gave us that flexibility to change our minds.
Ten years later, I'm doing my PhD in Europe, where Bachelors programs are 3 years and you apply to a program within a university, not the university itself. And my god... say what you want about Americans, but at least universities make it easier to become well-rounded humans. Here, you are absolutely railroaded into a very narrow paradigm. Critical thinking and analysis are abysmal, because if you're doing a bioinformatics degree, no one asks you to examine the themes in Oedipus Rex or understand the complex political situation that led to Hitler's rise to power. And you develop a worldview that is so unbelievably myopic that you can't even imagine that other people are also smart and that other disciplines also have value. And so you get whole-ass adults -- full professors! -- who are not only experts in one single thing (expected), but don't actually know anything else. And refuse to believe it's important. Because they started studying engineering when they were 17 and that's literally all they know.
It's unbelievably damaging. It needs to stop. Yes OP, yes absolutely, give every Bachelors student a do-over if they want it. But also introduce gen-eds to the Netherlands because it's real concerning out here.
Here here! I was really shocked when I learned that other countries didn't have gen ed requirements, how are you supposed to learn othet things??? You are not. Crazy to me. I loved having gen ed requirements. Learned me some Art History of the Renaissance. Among others. With my science degree.
aaaand my past is right behind me isnt it
*thinking about the moments i can never return to* Well that just happened :/
the only time of the year this can be posted
watching weekly media/ media with frequent breaks is good because it means everyone gets to theorize and then i get to read all the theories and theres time to sit in them before we are right or wrong and this is also human connection
ya im complainiong about them i want the COOL PANTS not the MOM OF THE COOL PANTS
do it scared all you want but whatever you do, dont do it hungry
one day, you will find yourself being loved by entirely new people and wonder why you were ever worried you’d never find them
idk tumblr rap discourse, i think dismissing the political importance of the genre that successfully popularized the slogan "fuck the police" might be unwise
cool should we talk first about the rampant misogyny or the glorification of drug use that has led to the stigmatization of people who take legitimate prescription medications
yeah we can talk about that
these issues are endemic to USAmerican culture and don't meaningfully trace back to rap in particular. pretending otherwise has obvious motives and "raising concerns" is a low-skill way to mask racism.
there. talk done.
Thought this could fit in well here
Ok I don’t mean to be doing this too often but I literally just wrote a paper about this so I thought I would comment! The English translation is The Cursed Woman but the original French is La Femme Damnée. “Femmes Damnées” was the title of a Baudelaire poem from his acclaimed 1857 book Fleurs du mal, which was known, among other things, to be a collection that famously dealt with the subject of lesbians. The poem tells the story of the desires and passionate love between two lesbians: Delphine and Hippolyte. As a result of this poem and of the book as a whole, the terms “fleurs du mal” and “femme damnée” became lesbian monikers of the turn of the century. Though some have deemed the term “damned women” to be accusatory of some moral dissonance, the poem it is derived from is actually quite sympathetic to the condition of lesbian love as it is a love which is unable to fully flourish in that time. Regardless, the translated title of Tassaert’s painting is misleading, as the original French is less accusatory and more identifying. The title is more accurately “the lesbian.”
And she’s doing fine
It’s so cute when people superimpose their personality traits onto characters, but when those personality traits have nothing to do with the character or are very fanon>canon, I usually find it obnoxious WHO SAID THAT.
BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT my opinion is irrelevant! I believe over all that people deserve to have fun in fandom spaces. In fact, I think it is everyone’s right to have fun in fandom spaces, so long as it doesn’t involve harassing other real people.
#wow the rare view of 'i dont like this and may even bitch about it - but that doesn't mean I think its bad or that you're bad for liking it'#fandom#not sure why its such a rare view#that disagreements or differing headcannons or simply a difference in interest can be so abrasive to peoples hearts#I hate 'incorrect sitcom quotes' stuff like 99% of the time. Cringe. Roll my eyes. They typically get characters so wrong its unrecognizabl#and ill bitch about it im bitching about it right now. Most sitcom lines aren't funny in the first place - especially not out of context#please don't stop making them. Please watch shows you like and giggle to yourself about how funny it'd be if The Characters said stuff.#and make it. share it. My opinion of it is so fucking irrelevant to your joy and I'd never think you're bad for doing it.#I love your joy deeply. I dislike your text posts superficially.#not 'you' as in OP ofc. But also to OP. <3
