Alright which time looper are you:
- *becomes a better person in the loop*
- stuck forever, no choice but to suffer
- stuck forever, hell yeah I’m immortal
- I’m in a time loop? Oh. …Oh. Oh no.
- *becomes a worse person in the loop*
#stuck forever hell yeah I'm immortal#which is kind of funny because I'd be much less sure if I wanted immortality under any other circumstances#it's the ability to endlessly explore a set of resettable known parameters that cinches it for me

People talk about the surprise albums from people like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé that drop with zero warning but I have just been existing in this world where every album I've ever heard in my life has been a surprise album because I didn't know that musicians had schedules that we could see

#I'd say to the point it's basically you but that seems biased#because you've had this pfp since I started following you so it influenced the vibes I got/how I thought of you since the beginning#so it's not very surprising that I think it matches

There are now people in mathblr liking/reblogging this post without context. I wonder if they know it's from an Arcane liveblog.
Maybe what we need to fix the "being forced to publish at a ridiculous pace" problem in irl academia is to get more quasi-immortal beings to whom time isn't an object among university higher-ups

Well, obviously if you thought a specific opinion was wrong, you wouldn't hold that opinion. But it is possible to realise that among all of your opinions, there are probably some that are wrong, you just don't know which ones, and that acknowledgement will tend to affect how you react to hearing differing opinions.
Something I always find bizarre is when people mention something along the lines of "You always act like your opinions are correct and everyone else is wrong" as like. A moral or personal flaw. Because like. I'm pretty sure that's just how opinions work.
#it is true though that some people will say the thing op is pointing at just to criticise others for having strong opinions at all#but it's also true that it's possible to have strong opinions while acknowledging they probably aren't all completely correct#and I do think the difference can be noticeable to people so sometimes I think this criticism is valid#there's a difference between thinking you're right about a specific topic and thinking you don't need to learn anything#because you must already be right about everything

I've noticed something I find somewhat concerning and it's that for a lot of people, 'pluto is a planet' has fallen into the stock list of examples for what one might call 'science denialism', along with things like antivaxx, denying the existence of feathered (non-avian) dinosaurs, and flat earthers
there's a sentiment that goes like 'well, sure, you learned in school that the solar system has nine planets, but Science Marches On and we now know it has eight' and while certainly people should not take what they learned in school to be immutable law they should also like. have a concept of the rather significant difference between 'we've learned something new about the world' and 'we've decided to slice up the world in categories along different lines'
slicing up the world into categories is one of the basic operations of human thought and if you do not understand it well enough that you think 'people used to think the earth flat -> now we know better' and 'astronomers used to call pluto a planet -> now they don't' are analogous processes then you fucked up somewhere.
and if you don't think they are analogous, if you understand the difference i am pointing out and think it does not matter to the quest of listing stock examples of people disagreeing with things scientists say, well. you fucked up in a different place, probably.
#not to vagueblog but there was one popular blog that was very aggressive about treating pluto discourse as being on the same level#as disagreeing with scientific consensus on *actual facts*#and it irritated the *hell* out of me#which is kind of a shame because I otherwise liked the blog#...ok ok fine. yes to vagueblog actually.#poorly chosen hills to die on

Tumblr: Only neurotypical people do X. Neurodivergent people never do X. It's literally never necessary to do X, and if you do, you are by definition acting out of malice.
Neurodivergent person whose neurodivergence primarily expresses itself as X:
#that fucking post that's like. 'nt people want you to get to the point while nd people want you to give as much contextual information#as possible'#now I cannot say for *sure* that my inability to parse an answer if it's not clear to me exactly what it has to do with what I'm asking#and tendency to get very overwhelmed and stop processing when I get too many details at once#is in any way an autism thing. however it is certainly a difficulty I have beyond what's ''typical''#(i do like to *give* a lot of detail. and in principle i also want to get it in the end it's just the all at once/insufficiently clear#structure thing that breaks my brain a bit)#I've kind of wanted to rant every time I saw that post but refrained#so have it in the tags now

Happy Earth Day: celebrate by getting clean water in to Gaza!
(via unrwa): “Gaza: access to water is extremely limited and sanitary structures are insufficient to meet people's needs. Gaza's water supply remains at only 7 per cent of its pre-October 2023 levels.”
Gaza has been in a water crisis for months now, there is virtually no clean/drinkable/accessible water due to Israel’s occupation and siege.
With the summer months approaching, the temperatures in Gaza are rising (it will be nearly 40 celsius there this week) and the lack of viable water is going to continue to cause extreme destruction.
Here are some orgs to donate to that are getting water into Gaza/working on making water in Gaza accessible:
بلدية غزة(Municipality of Gaza)

FOR SUDAN:

Happy Earth Day 🤍🌍 choose to be kind
