Daily Reminder to Click for Palestine!

okay okay okay. Should I just add another minor? I’m already a double major + a minor. But I mean. The first minor is like 90% covered by my combined major classes. There’s like 1 extra class I’d need to take. So like I probably have the time for a second one right? (<- delusional)

Don’t look at things you know will make you angry. Don’t read the comment sections. Don’t look at the blogs of people who add dumb comments to posts to confirm that they’re dumb all the time. Don’t read old conversations you had with people you don’t talk to anymore. Go look at pictures of kittens or something instead. Protect yourself from negativity in every way you can.

‘what’re u going to do w ur degree’ nothing. i’m going to start blowing things up

Modern AU where Kakashi is the mysterious “Copy Ninja” on his college campus because he has an incredible talent for quickly copying entire articles behind paywalls and releasing them anonymously for free. Half the professors love him. The half that write their own incredibly overpriced material hate him. No one expects this exhausted disaster of a man who is constantly covered in dog hair to be the “vigilante hacker”. Kakashi, who hasn’t paid a subscription fee in his life and spends every dime of his money on his dogs, will openly admit that it’s him but considering he types hunt and peck style no one believes him.

sometimes a song is good because you saw it on a fan edit for your favorite ship like ten years ago

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.

"knight posting" this and "guard posting" that. i'm the princess's trusted handmaid who provides her advice and comfort in my soothing, low-class style. i am saying things like "if you don't mind me speaking out of turn, my lady..." and sharing fairy tales and lullabies my sad mother taught me. also i am fucking the jester.

"youve already written that trope" yesss. i like it a lots. i will be writing it again. 1000 stories of the same trope over and over again for ten million years

Hey there. Worried you're pronouncing something wrong in a foreign language?

Not sure how to pronounce a word? Search engines not pulling up any helpful results? Your textbook telling you the 'grammatical' way to pronounce something but not the way native speakers do it?

Let me introduce you to Youglish. Youglish is like if Youtube was made of clips of videos of speakers saying words in real life contexts. You type a word or phrase into the search bar and it will bring up video clips of people saying it. It typically has dialectal variations you can filter for as well; it has English (US, UK, AUS), Arabic (SA, EG), Chinese (CN, TW, HK), etc. It also has Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, and some sign languages, although I don't know what dialects you can filter for. It is one of my favorite tools ever and it takes very little time to figure out how to use it. You type your word or phrase, search, and then hit the arrow when you're done with each clip.

This has been a PSA. return to your business

if you give “stupid” characters rural/southern accents i don’t like you and if you give “smart” characters rural/southern accents but it’s a punchline i don’t like you even more

This is what posting your artwork after a mutual posts a big life update feels like

Am I getting a good grade in tumblr mutual?

i don't know man, i just wish that we could [suddenly realising i'm coming dangerously close to expressing a real and earnest thought instead of filtering everything through several layers of intangible running bits] blow up the entire world. or something.

how wonderful that we all exist at the same time. we are destined to blog together.
