this is like 100% petty all things considered but i just can’t wait until some of u learn that it is absolutely normal for people of any age to refer to their dads as “daddy” in many parts of the south like it isn’t a red flag there. 60 year old women in my family still refer to their dads as “daddy.” and btw i think anyone should be allowed to call their own fathers whatever they want without someone either making it nasty or being accusatory like don’t you get tired of making ppl uncomfortable for no reason
#i'm 40#and I still call my mom mommy when I'm nervous#or in the general vicinity of a meltdown#because it's conforting to me#i will also call her Mama Bear#my dad is Grumpy Bear#and my late Grandma was Nana Bear#I am Baby Bear#its a whole thing

It's 4:27 am on a Saturday morning and once again I am thinking of my middle aged, Puerto Rican Spanish 1 teacher who pulled me aside after class one day because she was deeeeeeeeply troubled and confused how me, a painfully white second generation by adoption Polish-American, somehow didn't know Spanish at all, but knew HOW to speak Spanish.
And my bitchy, depressed teenage self who full well knew why (I went to a by then-defunct private elementary that taught you the basics of Spanish and English at the same time), chose instead to just shrug, say "I dunno", and let this poor woman spend the rest of her life thinking there are people with the approximate skintone of the inside of a twinkle who come out of the womb knowing exactly what inflection and vocal tones to use on the phase "Te quiero mi vida".

Sometimes I think about how out of the few true fears/phobias/trauma points I have, TWO of them have come from reading Choose Your Own Adventure books as a child.
To anyone who read these as a child, and I mean the OG books, did y'all come out ok, or did they traumatize you too?

I can't believe I didn't know it was Patrick Stump's birthday. It's 1:39 am, I made it 2.5 hours into the morning and I JUST put on SMFS, I feel like such a fraud of a new fan.

I did not know that!
“Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. […] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.”
—
Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate)
OH WAIT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT CECILIA PAYNE.
Cecilia Payne’s mother refused to spend money on her college education, so she won a scholarship to Cambridge.
Cecilia Payne completed her studies, but Cambridge wouldn’t give her a degree because at that time there's not much exposure for woman, so she said to heck with that and moved to the United States to work at Harvard.
Cecilia Payne was the first person ever to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy from Radcliffe College, with what Otto Strauve called “the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy.”
Not only did Cecilia Payne discover what the universe is made of, she also discovered what the sun is made of (Henry Norris Russell, a fellow astronomer, is usually given credit for discovering that the sun’s composition is different from the Earth’s, but he came to his conclusions four years later than Payne—after telling her not to publish).
Cecilia Payne is the reason we know basically anything about variable stars (stars whose brightness as seen from earth fluctuates). Literally every other study on variable stars is based on her work.
Cecilia Payne was the first woman to be promoted to full professor from within Harvard, and is often credited with breaking the glass ceiling for women in the Harvard science department and in astronomy, as well as inspiring entire generations of women to take up science.
Cecilia Payne is awesome and everyone should know her.

Remember this joke?
Well, I am going to do something similar only with photography. This is a photo someone took for an Amazon review of their Clinique products.
Honestly, it is not a terrible photo. They did some staging. They have an interesting background. All of the labels are legible. It is properly exposed. This would be a perfectly acceptable product photo for an Etsy page.
I've been taking these advanced photography courses in preparation for whenever I am able to create a new studio in the house. And my teacher is a photography badass. I just watched a 6 hour class on how to recreate a professional Clinique ad. And at first glance it looks deceptively simple. It's just some skin care products being splashed with a little water.
Which is why I wanted you to see an average person for reference.
This is what Karl Taylor came up with.
And I don't think I've learned so much about photography in one tutorial before.
Product photography is just loads and loads of problem solving. You have to light the chrome caps with a gradient. Which requires giant diffusion scrims.
Those big white panels are literally only there for the two chrome caps.
You need a pure white background, but you can't let light spill all over the studio, so you put up giant black light blockers.
And you have to add another light just for the orange bottle on the right.
Oh, and if you want the bottles to glow, well, you have to hide a silver reflector behind them.
But you still want the edges of the bottles to be darker so they have some contrast. So you add some black tape to the sides.
And in order for the reflective labels to have bold black lettering, you have to reflect black cards into them.
Ack! Karl's beautiful bald head is showing up in the chrome caps! He must put on the naughty blanket.
And once you get every aspect of every bottle perfectly lit, you finally get to yeet some water at it all.
I don't love product photography because I have a weird obsession to help greedy corporations make their wares look more beautiful. I love it because it is a complicated and challenging new puzzle every time. Every product is a different shape and requires a different technique to make it look its best.
I don't know if I will be able to live up to Karl's standards.
This is about the level I was at in 2017 before I quit photography.
I have so much more knowledge in my brain now. I'm really hoping I can surpass that.
#This#THIIIIIIS#Also. Sidenote#Those clinique facial washes were GOD TIER#The only thing that sucked was the step 3 moisturizer#didn't work for me at all#But step 1 and step 2 were my goto for YEARS#Miss those.#Need to find a good god tier facial cleanser again#the walmart stuff ain't cutting it

I love R-KO so much, if for no other reason than it has the same sense of foreboding as Rollowens had with "OK, neither of these people has ever been able to maintain a friendship without it ending in disaster, how long can these two go before imploding???"...
.... except that in this case, KO and Randy are both well into their redemption tours and it's less "How long can they go before imploding" and more "How long before they can't resist the call of the backstab"
And judging from WM, neither one of them WANTS their friendship to end or wants to backstab the other, but it's in both their natures SO STRONGLY that it's essentially like a pair of betrayal-addicts trying to keep from throwing the other under the damn wagon.
I love it so much
