I started thinking about how funny it actually is that human beings are 100% aware of the way that certain environments are just downright bad for the human psyche, there's so many recorded cases of people simply losing their minds from the extreme isolation, lack of sunlight, constant noise, constant silence, being surrounded by prairie or the sea from all sides for too long, and people keep going there anyway. Like yeah you can totally go inhabit this uninhabitable environment. But watch out.
Also the rest of my thought process just took the shape of this meme:
so, i live on the fourth floor of an apartment building that faces a fairly busy street; it’s on a hill so car noises are pretty regular over the course of the day. because i’m high above the street, you obviously can’t see the cars unless you look out the window, right? but sometimes the sun reflects off the car roofs or whatever, and so there’ll be a light on my ceiling as a car passes by.
so my cat? whenever he hears a loud engine, day or night, he looks at my ceiling. even if there is no refraction going on. to him, those are the sounds of light on the ceiling. sometimes the light appears and there is a loud noise. it’s 8pm and a truck just passed and he watched the ceiling as the car moved past my windows – no reflection this time of night, but trucks are ceiling creatures and i just think that’s such a like – it’s a good correlation, buddy!! you figured it out!! you’re wrong but you’re so smart!!
High School in the Yukon, Canada, using the BC Education standards. We had no Middle School. Phys Ed 8, 9, and 10 were mandatory. To graduate you had to do x amount of hours of physical activity during the Twelfth Grade and have it signed off. (I just used walking to and from school)
Gym was mandatory up to Grade 10.
Reblog with where you're from (USAmericans if you're willing to specify state too that would be great)
I need to know if my suffering is just because my school district hates students or if it's a common thing
