Responsibilities?!?! HAH! You can’t give me responsibilities! Not when I do this!

*shrinks to 2 inches tall*

HAHA! Just try and stop me now! You’ll never catch me!

*turns and runs, diving toward the wall, but hits head and is knocked unconscious by a severe lack of conveniently placed mouseholes to jump into*

couldn’t get the vaccine bc apparently my poor people insurance doesn’t cover it at pharmacies (they usually do + online they said they did ) and I don’t have $190 to spare rn thank u govt for taking care of poor ppl and their health

something weirdly nice about being old in college is when you’re a similar age to your professor and they just like talking to you lmao.

I want to scream. maybe cry

Rereading KNY. I didn't realize how much I adore Gyomei Himejima. Happy birthday to him🎂🎉

I still find this funny everytime I see this panel and I don't know why

We have to do a project in my Honors English class about making a new society and listening to the idiots in this class fumble through an explanation of their dystopian capitalist ideals is the highlight of my day

today I’m going to be angry about past decisions

If a class asks me to write a 20 page paper on a scientific subject, especially one in my field of natural history, it’ll suck and take time, but fuck I can just DO that. Just start writing. All the info’s right there! Find some papers on google scholar, look at some cladograms, cite some dudes from the early 2000s and just restate what they said. All the sources are plain, mostly without bias, and at least pretend like they represent something “objective”. Does x animal have y anatomical feature? Which of these rocks is highest in silica content? Has any correlation been found between these things?

If a class asks me to find ten sources on political issues I care about and how they can be fixed, through the machinations of congress, I think Id rather tear my own jaw off my skull. This is excruciating. 

today i return to the sea

i've healed up pretty well from being sick, which i suppose is all one can really ask for these days (although only time will tell if i gain any new or worsened Permanent Problems 😁←teeth gritted) but I'm still really pissed off that i had stuff i wanted to do over break and wanted to relax and then had to spend all that time being sick

You know history is not my thing (thanks largely to textbooks sucking all the life out of it) but I can certainly appreciate the way my current government textbook outlines all the ways the current plurality, winner take all voting system is essentially fails to actually account for the opinions of the people by forcing out third parties and essentially silencing the opinions of minority parties in majority states.

I can appreciate the accuracy and the fact it lays out all the pros and cons of the current AND supplies alternatives (along with their pros and cons).

Something somehting about how many of our current issues in politics and voter engagement not only come from lack of understanding of how the current system works, but also lack of understanding of what the alternatives are and how to change the current system.

EVERYDAY IM REMINDED THAT CAPITALISM IS ALWAYS THE ROOT PROBLEM!!!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!

I think helplessness has to be my least favorite feeling.

I have So Many thoughts on my classes this semester! Too many. I cannot type them out all at once. :(

I don't get being like "I'm communist, which is why I love putin and russian imperialism which actually... they don't have anything to do with communism other than that they came after something that was nominally communist"

Like at least I get being a shill for China since they at least still wear the trappings of communism, but like... what on earth do you get out of going to bat for modern russia which isn't even communist?

yikes mcbikes, I need to ask my supervisors at both jobs to be references for my grad school application and I've been putting it off cause I feel weird telling them I'm trying to leave in september but today I emailed one of them and I rarely see her in person anymore so I was like "will you be around this week or next week? I have a favour I need to ask you but I'd rather do it in person" and she responded and was like "lucky you! I'll be there today" 🤡🤡🤡 now I gotta figure out wtf to say to this woman
