Also I quit my job of what would in about a month or two have been 10 years, and perhaps now I will get to actually be a human being again.

#honestly? honestly?#last week i told the two (2) godawful egomaniac lab head Man In Academia bosses i quit and that we need to formalise it asap and i just #felt like a little feather about to float away on a breeze #maybe now i can do normal people things like eat and sleep and have a routine of some sort idk #i have been slowly losing it for at least 3-4 years now #i took a screenshot and last year i had no fewer than 14 fucking travel orders fulfilled #most of which consisted of like 12+ hour days on ships and docks #i'm just so tired man #not for reblogging obviously #i don't really wanna vent anymore or ponder them and the entire godforsaken institution but like #good riddance tbh #which is really really sad when you think about it! but here we are #it was just... no trace of future anywhere to be seen! entirely a Void!!#gonna post a beefy lesbian paladin real quick to push this post down lmao #but i felt like sharing because i know there's good and concerned people who follow me here and i both appreciate and miss you all #and lord knows some of you have been listening to me vent and whine for ages #am i going to miss some great people and the research community of my field? of course but also it was all just completely unsustainable

it’s so scary and so freeing to just be a person.

#the discovery and fulfillment of my curiosity as I go #trying to scientific observational field researcher my way through discovering #What Existence Includes #while I’m in this state to experience it #it’s like being back to my very youngest days before I started learning the major rules #when I was just sensation and experience and curiosity #making sense / making an ongoing story of the world and time itself as it flies past #personal #cult escapee #katie.txt #past me: thank you thank you thank you for holding on through the nightmare. thank you for riding out the huge world-ending pain. thank you #it was worth it it was worth it #of course it isn’t perfect but I SAID it’d be better within a few years didn’t I?#you signed up for this you made the commitment when you knew.#you tried allowing yourself to trust yourself again for the first time since age 7 or so.#you knew you couldn’t hold it all up front for that long if you were gonna survive transplanting yourself like an organ.#you knew you’d be giving up a lot. and you did it anyway because you were brave and you cared that much about how very very little you #deserved better for her world #and here you are. and here we are.#you told the therapist ‘of course not!!!’ so instantaneously and so full of belief. so dead sure on deep reflex that you could NEVER #trust yourself in a million years because even if the supernatural surveillance state wasn’t real and you didn’t have innate evilness #just from the Doctrine Is Saying So #where was I going with this. I’m typing tags on mobile and it’s religious for me but it’s also impossible as a ui #anyway my POINT WAS: it is so hard and so scary but it’s like walking into the world of Sesame Street for real.#you were right. it IS good to be alive. the whole thing all the way through is a bewildering baffling marvel. you’re ok to be delighted #about it and marvel at how wild it is that there’s so much about it all and so many things to see and think and meet and feel and do during #our spans of time #no matter what came before or what might come next #what a goddam marvel of it all. ain’t it just the strangest thing of all that we’re alive. what a marvel. what an absolutely magnificent hit #existence is an absolute absurdity

Grand babbee cardassian has broken me… also more Jocasta content pls we love a quiet queen

GRANPA GARAK! A DISIPLINARIAN!

He gets up early every day to pick fresh fruit from the garden for his grandkids. Elim III is his Little Regnar. Lim thinks he's going to spoil them rotten (the orphanage and the dirt floor gardening shed that they lived in was CHARACTER BUILDING. it made him the MAN HE IS TODAY.)

JOCASTA LOVE.... she's truly an underrated queen.. here maam ms head scrub nurse you dropped your crown 👑

She cares about outward presentation as much as any Cardassian, but especially hair (cardassian hair being much thicker and coarser than human fur.)

also she refers to julian as Dr Bashir at work just out of propriety and respect. most people don't know that they're father and daughter simply because she does not care to tell them. they just think she's his favorite because she's good at her job and gently takes no shit

^ scenes that play before the least pleasant vacation miles has ever been on

#dee s 9 #garashir adoption au #HEEHEE I LOVE GRANDPA GARAK... walking around with a cane but looking supremely dignified..#old age would look very well on him i think #julian just looks like a salt and pepper pipecleaner #APBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBT bebe belly #you see. im going into peds. for purely academic reasons.#also jo doesnt need to bully julian she just shoots him a 😬 and hes instantly a medical student #getting his wrist slapped by the scrub nurse for breaking sterile field #like 'shes so scary but its cause shes riiiiiiight ughhhhhhhhh'#thank youuuuuuuuuuu for nice oc asks.... 🥹 i love them.....#i truly cannot decide if i like jo better with the braid coronet or the jadzia bouffant. maybe both. fancy bitch #shes such a girlygirl iskra wants to be one but can't be assed to comb her hair every day with proper oil and do scalecare #jo is lovingly buffing garak's nails before broadcasts so he looks his best #and initially using WAY too much hair oil on julian. takes weeks to wash it all out

ted lasso season 3 was more muddled than anything. i mean it was less ted focused, which is fine but then there were too many plot lines that didnt get to shine and i feel like the show wanted to do more but was limited with the short run time of the overall season.

like the payout for a lot of the plots didn’t land and you are left feeling untethered for a lot of the characters where the previous seasons were laying foundation for their arcs. and a lot needed to be shoehorned in at the end to close up some loose ends. and it left some plots and characters just not concluded well because the ensemble wasn’t utilized well.

i enjoyed the bit about football but the rest is eh for such a show that had so much foundation for more

#like jamie tartt and his dad which was like a whiff from left field #and nate and ted's reconciliation didn't feel earned #and way too much was spent with rebecca and her ex husband #which was fine but then there is just like a scene with her and bex and then nothing??#and ted gosh like nothing was done with him and his ex and her new beau???#like no growth???#i am just at a loss #like i enjoyed the bit about football but the rest was eh #it was fine #which in this day and age is pretty good i guess #i guess meme #ted lasso

hyperspecific post but i saw a couple tags about it on the heat exhaustion post so. hey kiddos headed off to band camp in a couple weeks. drink water or gatorade on every single break. get a lanyard with a little folder for your music and map if it's not provided. if you haven't had a break in the usual amount of time, loudly complain about it. Wear A Hat. for the love of god practice your music while you're on the field. don't lock your knees when you're at attention. sit down on breaks/when your section is waiting as another section is going over sets. keep an eye out for yr friends. plan a coordinated attack amongst the lower grades in preparation for senior pranks. rise up comrades

#band camp #marching band was soo fun. yknow i found sheet music from freshman year today #still attached to the lanyard clip #also side note if you have a big instrument and you are small. don't feel bad for asking for help with toting it to/from the field #i had to get help my first year because i was 4'10 with a mellophone case that went up to my hip #how many 11-14 year olds are on tumblr these days. i started that shit at 11 years of age #muscle memory is so strong I can still play stuff from that first year

Do you ever just feel the uncontrollable compulsion to go out to a field in the middle of nowhere so you can unleash the female anxiety induced rage via monstrous screaming?

But then you remember you live in a city with cardboard thin walls and may startle the local mice?

Yeah. Same.

#ive never felt so ill from #anxiety #like...#living should not be this scary #this week is hitting its 106th day JUST DIE ALREADY #its been 70 years since i felt the peace of 2 weekends ago #my loved ones have been informed of my wishes for my funeral plans #youre all in for a treat #caus im gonna reach old age and die before this week is through #pls ignore this #ill be fine come sunday... probably #im just VERY worried and anxious and shit keeps happening #so consider this me going out into a field to scream for a bit so i can at least continue with my day for another couple of minutes #*distant pterodactyl screaming*

it’s becoming more and more apparent that governments don’t care about young people or genuinely don’t have them in mind when they make decisions when it comes to anything but then demonize young people for speaking up injustices and how mistreated they are… make no mistake they hate this younger generation for standing for something and being tired and how we don’t wanna suffer in silence like most of our parents and grandparents did! we are fed up and we just want change and they how powerful we can be if we stick together it’s just becoming so clear but jokes on them we won’t stop any time soon

#i’ve had this on my mind since my country’s elections #instead of building a better future for younger generations #you just want to make our lives more miserable so we don’t have hope for the future #i am hopeless tired and exhausted i log on social media every day #to see tragedy people asking others for donations bc they can’t afford food #or their rent #seeing genocides and people dying #people my age who can’t get a job on the fields they studied #and etc etc #i could be here listing all the bad things i see every day #i just want a better future for us #and for that we need the present to be better #some of us can’t take it anymore it’s impossible to not be anxious about the future #when our current present is so miserable #that’s all i have to say #tris.txt

thinking about a super hero who was once praised by all and treated like an absolute rock star: constant groupies, interviews, sponserships, endless fans every where that is now a washed-up “has been” despite the fact he can still punch through reinforced steel and rip aliens apart with his bare hands. He has a regular human assistant who puts him in his place and is absolutely detrimental to his mental health (he is so fucked up in the head <3)

#very 'the boys' esque but i was never that into homelander #also i can't find anthony starr attractive so. im making my own thats NOT a rapist #tj talks #anyways #in the age of super heroes and brand deals #his baby brother is actually the one that 'replaces' him #he's younger and leaner and 'prettier' by demographic standards: more down-to-earth and approachable but actually a HORRIBLE human being!#but our hero just. lounges around all day while annoying his assistant as she sits in his million dollar house and does menial paperwork #he's unassumingly threatening because he's been 'dormant' for so long people don't really see him as scary #but then one day he gets back into the field for a reason and people are like oh. oh my fucking god he's terrifying #probably has a police scanner he listens to when he's having a bad night so he can find somebody bad he can beat the shit out of #without feeling like he's doing something morally incorrect/still being a hero. he fucked up!

The excitement of the draft has truly permeated the city, bringing energy and enthusiasm that extends far beyond downtown festivities and the general passion for football. Importantly, this event has also shone a light on something less expected but deeply significant: urban agriculture. As the city celebrates new team picks and enjoys its moment in the sports spotlight, community gardens and urban farms are gaining recognition as vital elements of urban life.

It is all too common for underprivileged communities to endure substandard conditions that shouldn’t even be an issue, such as access to clean food. Likewise, our veterans, who have sacrificed immensely for the US, are frequently neglected. Despite the sensitivity of this issue, it reflects our reality. This has spurred a number of grassroots organizations, policies, and nonprofits, both locally and politically, to take action. Among them is the NFL and S.H.I.E.L.D 1, a nonprofit founded by NFL players aimed at boosting economic mobility in underserved areas. They showcased the Green Boots Veteran Community Horticulture Gardens and Marketplace for their community ribbon-cutting event on the city’s westside, which features a GroShed. GroSheds are hydroponic gardening sheds designed for cold climates, allowing year-round access to nutritious, non-toxic, affordable whole foods, thereby addressing the seasonal gaps in fresh produce availability in these communities.

The excitement behind the draft have touched down in the city but it goes beyond the confines of downtown and the fun times and the love of football, this has placed a spotlight on urban agriculture.

Green Boots not only offers nutritious food choices for the local community but also provides a therapeutic outlet for veterans like its founder, Travis Peters, to engage in gardening and improve their mental health.

“My mission was to sustain myself, my family, and my community through urban agriculture without leaving our veterans out of the picture,” said Peters. “This place is a multifaceted space where we focus on urban agriculture basic training for our veterans and community along with horticulture therapy and protocols to help bridge the wellness gap.”

“The GroShed will allow us to produce food at a higher rate, a faster and a more economical rate” Peters said. “This space has no city municipalities connection whatsoever. We run on solar power and rainwater, I rely on nature and just what the earth gives us.”

Standing alongside community members and local media were NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, Senator Debbie Stabenow, New Orleans Saints Linebacker Demario Davis, NFL Cornerback Josh Norman, and NFL Legend Alex Lewis.

“Travis is an extraordinary man and I’m proud to be here on behalf of the NFL,” said Goodell. “I’m also inspired by our players. There are two players here that have really led the way. Damario Davis and Josh Norman. For the last 4 or 5 years I’ve heard about this concept and their desire to make this happen and they have worked to make this happen. It has been their undying support to bring this into fruition not just here in Detroit but also in Buffalo. These men are not just great professional athletes, they are stand up men.”

This event is part of the NFL’s Inspire Change social justice initiative. Inspire

Inspire Change is designed to reduce barriers to opportunity, especially in communities of color, demonstrating the collective efforts of the NFL family—current and former players, teams, owners, and the league office—to foster positive change. The initiative operates at all levels within the league, with a mission to showcase their commitment to social justice and community improvement.

This GroShed initiative all started when Davis took a trip to Flint, MI a few years ago and realized there was a need for clean water. At the time he witnessed truckloads of water bottles being dispersed throughout the city, but he had an epiphany regarding his charity work, “What’s going on with the water system? That’s when we moved from doing just the charity work to finding sustainable solutions in the community.”

“This is a continuation of our work that we’re doing in other cities,” said Davis. “We are committed to bringing sustainable solutions to communities that have traditionally been marginalized. This work touches me personally. It brings our hearts joy.”

The NFL is collaborating with the White House on the “Challenge to End Hunger and Build Healthy Communities” initiative, highlighting this effort at the event.

Amidst the backdrop of steel and concrete, a transformation is quietly taking root—a healthy mindset. Spearheaded by Peter and powered by the enduring strength of the local Black community, this initiative isn’t merely about planting vegetables; it’s a reclaiming of urban spaces, turning them from symbols of decay into beacons of hope and growth. These community gardens are not just places to grow food; they are sanctuaries of empowerment, where residents, burdened by economic hardships and societal neglect, find a powerful form of expression and control over their lives and environment.

Peter’s movement is leveraging a rich yet underrecognized legacy of Black horticulture expertise, challenging the stereotype that urban communities lack the green thumbs or know-how. Each garden plot and GroShed serves as a testament to resilience and innovation, with every plant sown echoing the community’s deep-rooted connection to the land and their ancestors wisdom. This isn’t just about horticulture; it’s about cultural heritage, community, a bridge connecting past generations who tilled the soil for sustenance to a modern movement for food sovereignty and social justice.

“I started a number of years ago putting in place opportunities and extra support where veterans can go into farming,” said Senator Debbie Stabenow and chair of the agriculture, nutrition and forestry committee in Washington D.C. “We now have veteran organizations and veteran farmers around the country with the largest group in Michigan.”

Absolutely, agriculture transcends the rural boundaries we often confine it to; it’s very much a vibrant part of urban landscapes as well. Urban agriculture is about more than just growing food; it’s about building community, fostering sustainability, and ensuring access to healthy, affordable meals. Echoing this sentiment, Senator Debbie Stabenow said, “This is about providing healthy food in a sustainable way right here in our urban communities.”

This movement reshapes the concept of what it means to be a community. It’s a collective effort where city dwellers reconnect with their food sources and with each other, breaking down the isolation that urban environments can sometimes foster. Urban agriculture initiatives make it possible for fresh produce to travel just a few yards from soil to table, drastically reducing food miles and providing a stark contrast to the impersonal nature of mass food production.

Moreover, these initiatives are a testament to the adaptability and ingenuity of urban communities. Each space cultivated is a step towards a more sustainable urban existence, proving that the heart of agriculture isn’t found solely in wide-open spaces but wherever there are people willing to plant the seeds of change.

“The Greenboots community displays the real work,” Davis said. “You guys are the heroes and deserve the brightest light to be on you all. They are on the ground doing the work, it is people that are in the trenches that really keep the game going. So, thank you for your work.”
