I absolutely didn't cover every possibility here but this is a Tumblr post and it's not that serious

#so we had overall skirts as an option at mine #might have only been available for the first few grades #but the overall skirts had pockets

Honestly, from the perspective of someone who did not do workshops and a BA in english, I'm not sure I know enough about the actually finding people process to ask questions?

I actually want to get down to writing that post (or posts, depending) on being a critique partner and finding critique partners and evaluating them, etc. but, I need to know:

What questions about all of that do you have? I want to make sure I'm actually answering them and not just rambling about well-known stuff.

One way or another, this question will stop you from applying taxonomy!

Every time you get too interested in applying a system of taxonomy to everything, remember this question: Is the Hamburger Helper a Cephalopod?

#It gets the family biologist to lecture me about morphology being a bad metric

What I learn from Science & Technology Studies is that you shouldn't blindly trust science because there's a fair amount of fuckery (mostly unintentional but sometimes not) going on in the background, but you also shouldn't *not* trust science in the way that most people who don't trust science don't trust science.

Anyways, hope that helps!

One time I brought one of my rocks with me on a plane to touch to calm me down during the flight, but it fell out of my pocket on my way back to the bathroom and then as soon as i realized this they actually announced “did anyone lose…… . A rock” over the loudspeaker system.

When I went up to claim it the plane man, clearly unable to throw off the shackles of his training in the procedure of asking for people’s full names and birthdates when they come to claim wallets, said “wait no, first tell me what color it is so I know it’s really yours”

He seemed to realize this was stupid directly after saying it and kind of smiled like to make it a joke but the joke was on him bc I Described the fucking rock to him for like 30 solid seconds

…anyway. that was an interaction I had once

it’s easy to forget, so I’ll remind y’all: you can make fantasy versions of anything. yes even things you might not think about. like soil types. I am thinking of fantasy soil types right now

I love it when old sci-fi television seemingly has a huge budget for sets but fuck-all for extras, so the alien planet or whatever has lots of different locations, but no matter where the main characters go there are always the exact same three dudes hanging out in the background.
