Friendly reminder to all my lovely mutuals; anon hate is making the rounds but thanks to a recent update, anonymous messages can no longer be sent without signing in. That means an account must be active, and when the anonymous feature is abused, you can block that fucker and find out who they are at the top of your block list. ❤️

i feel like no one talks about the terrible in-between that's common in academia. i defended my dissertation with the belief that i would not have a job when i was done. i applied to approx. 30 postdoc and teaching positions. i'd been rejected from most of them. i got the call for my current fellowship the day i was scheduled to fly home because my lease was up, and where else would i go? i'd applied to 40+ non-academic jobs and was considering returning to freelance music teaching because despite having a doctorate that's all anyone in the non-academic world thought i was qualified to do. i spent the summer before my postdoc started working part-time with my previous supervisor because i needed to pay bills. all my savings went into covering expenses for moving, for keeping up my credit score, for scraping by. i started my postdoc a week later than planned because my mom was in a serious car accident. i have not yet been paid. i just registered as a person in this institution's system, and i don't know when i get paid or when my benefits start. all this time i have not been working on my academic projects. how could i? i thought for months i was going to have to let it all go and i grieved in advanced and screamed at the universe. then i got to hang on a little longer but i was too busy surviving. now i'm supposed to start the work like the grieving didn't happen, like i wasn't burned out by debt and overtime, like i'm not anxious about whether i will actually make rent. i don't have generational wealth. my parents are working class. my loved ones are clinging to the jobs they have. but i should be excited. i should be throwing myself into the next round of work. my continued funding depends on me fulfilling what i said i'd do in my proposal that i wrote a million years ago. my (potential) career depends on me building connections and meeting expectations here. i'm so lucky. i'm so lucky.

It’s a stunning day here on the south shore and I’m headed outside to start the annual endless task of pulling weeds in garden beds in a yard mom can no longer manage and complains about constantly yet does nothing to change so they are easier to manage like apply deep mulch or plant ground cover and this is such a metaphor for everything about her and I’m trying to hold space for who she is and where she’s at and give her grace but goddamn this is nearly every vacation for the last 30 years and I’m so very over it. Also fuck punctuation.

Flora Colossai/Groot Headcanon 1/?: Diet and Eating
Though they can mostly sustain themselves on water and sunlight like most plants and trees, The Flora colossi are technically opportunistic omnivores. They can/will eat solid food such as fruit, vegetables and/or even meat if the circumstances call for it.
When they are driven to hunt, flora colossi can use their shapeshifting powers to make themselves look like non-sentient trees and ambush prey of small to medium-sized animals.
Though, again, most modern day Flora Colossi sustain themselves fine on water/sunlight a good chunk of the time, so eating solid foods like fruit or meat is pretty much optional for them.
Flora Colossi such as the Guardians of the galaxy’s Groot even seem to enjoy eating solid food for fun. Particularly in social situations like when he’s with teammates such as Rocket.

I am newly amused by that scene in FOTR where Gandalf is telling Saruman about how the One Ring was in the Shire for many years, “right under my very nose,” and Saruman responds “And yet you did not have the wit to see it.” Because. Saruman. My guy. You have sat in council with all three Elven Ring bearers multiple times across thousands of years. You are literally talking to a bearer of a Ring of Power right now. The only way Narya could be more right under your nose is if Gandalf decked you in the mouth. Well done, o cunning one! Truly a wizard of great insight and perception.

Edgy "d2 dead game" enthusiasts saying destiny was only good with Activision meanwhile Activision is just like:
Hey besties we gutted development on one of our most popular franchises for like 4 whole years to release less than 2 hours of absolute nothing PvE content 👍 couldn't figure out matchmaking also so I hope you have friends 👍 you are welcome 👍

just saw a graphic saying that the average person living in US emits 16 tons of CO2/year and that you would have to live 58 million years to emit what shell emitted in 2022. it then concluded by saying youre not responsible for the problem but u can be a part of the solution so share and download our app :)
