“the arts and sciences are completely separate fields that should be pitted against each other” the overlap of the arts and sciences make up our entire perceivable reality they r fucking on the couch

#my person subtle contribution to the arts x science thing is being a stem major (biochem!) who does colorful/bold/graphic makeup looks #i will and do show up to lab nearly every week with too much blush on and some kind of eyeliner on my eyes #it's not a real day in lab if it doesn't end with my goggles stained pink from my cheeks #like it's fun being a little creative makeup freak who also just really loves science

Just stumbled upon this homophobic ad from a Christian Church on Facebook and the way it unintentionally slayed—

since moving here ive noticed europeans have no concept of how few americans ever leave USA. every american tourist youve met is of an economic crust that is vastly unobtainable to the other like. 85% generously. no matter what you have believed i can guarantee this. even getting to canada isnt really a possibility and the mexico-US border is highly controlled and militarized.

to put it into perspective. a ~2 hour flight from london to warsaw is like. 30 to 45 USD?

and a 2 hour flight from one US city to another would be about 130 USD

it was very cheap to fly here. i make over 100k USD now and i dont know if ill ever be able to afford leaving. if that gives you an idea of how prohibitive travel is here. i havent even touched on how the US has Zero guaranteed holidays by the govt. many people here go years without ever having an entire week off of work

this has had a like. massive impact on American Brain and they dont even know it because travel isnt even a consideration economically. they dont even know how much more vacation time european countries have guaranteed

#also like. europeans don't understand how fucking massive the us is #a lot of americans who do travel/get vacation will just travel within the states because this country is stupid big and incredibly diverse

I am a WHORE for “the love is requited, they’re both just idiots”

me sending a signal to a mutual telling them i want to be friends with them and hoping really hard they Get It even though i’m not explicit about it

#just need people to assume i want to be their friend #because i am very bad at the whole friend making endeavor

Today Aziraphale was reading while Crowley took a nap. Aziraphale heard Crowley shiver, so he laid a blanket out over his demon and tucked him in with a kiss to his forehead.

every gay friend group has: the repressed academic, the ska loving "brawn", the formerly mean girl psychic, the match making anime fan, the astrology lover, the lesbian butcher/reluctant big sister, the sexy cat with nine lives, the walrus who runs a magic shop and the local witch who wants to kill everyone

#lesbian reluctant big sister #i was gonna say repressed academic but i think i'm just an academic

if i were a drink i’d be cherry vanilla coke

The mischaracterization of people from PJO is so funny, but ESPECIALLY from HOO onward like.

“Hazel’s such an innocent little angel. She’s always nice and kind and confused.”

Hazel, who’s always ready to fight in the same way Percy is? Hazel, who made it explicitly clear she probably would’ve rocked Octavian’s shit had he not been blackmailing her? Who gets so angry on behalf of the people she loves, to the point where she doesn’t forgive those who have wronged them? Who Percy described as cursing up a storm in one of their first interactions? Who’s been shown time and time again to be FAST to anger? That Hazel?

Or Nico, who’s “a misunderstood emo. A small bean. Cute like a wet cat and innocent like a bunny.”

Nico, who’s cannonically described by most characters as “scary and unnerving?” Nico, who, for a long time, is one of the angriest characters in the series? Who’s only sassy and sarcastic because it took him FOUR YEARS to mellow out? Who’s described as being one of the most powerful demigods, who a lot of people still consider the scariest? Who’s come into his own as a character from TTC to TSATS? That Nico?

Or Annabeth who’s, “cold and calculating. Doesn’t show emotion or express herself”

Annabeth, who’s the most expressive person in the series? Who cries in EVERY book in the OG series? Whether it be for Luke, or Thalia, or Percy, or Chiron, or a literal DOG? Who expresses passion like no other when it comes to architecture and her other interests? Who’s expressed compassion for people she didn’t know? People who at times posed a threat to her? Who isn’t afraid to be angry, or happy, or snide, or rude, or excited, or scared, or ecstatic? Who’s been unapologetically herself since the moment the series started? That’s who doesn’t show emotion? That’s Annabeth?

#people who don't let nico have nuance make me a special kind of annoyed

Allos can also have QPRs. Btw. In case you thought it was an aspec-only event. Or romance light. It's neither. And you can have one if you want.

survived the exam, took less time than i thought based on the practice ones i did yesterday (finished in 30 minutes (as is my usual because i'm insane like that)), and feeling pretty good. might have gotten a few parts wrong on the Le Chat sorting section but it shouldn't be that bad. anyway! now to speed run all my neglected polisci hw

today consisted of too many hours in the library studying chemistry with zero breaks and now i'm tired but feeling really good about tomorrow's exam and now i just have to deal with the looming spector of all the polisci homework i put off all week because i was stressed about chemistry

#y'all probably don't know what i mean when i say Le Chat but it's ok #you don't need to know #stem major shenanigans #personal

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

"Hard on the buttocks, horses. Major design flaw if you ask me."

This is your reminder that Crowley doesn't like riding horses because he has no ass. No ass at all. He has the physique of a svelte noodle. But instead of admitting he's the problem because he has no ass, he blames it on the design of the horse, because he can't take accountability for anything, not a single thing, not ever.
