Katya on Secret “Celebrity” Drag Race thoughts:

Why such a short segment? I know we’re protecting the “celebs” identities but give me more of the prep time aka Katya time

KATYA, YOU’RE SO HOT! When she put her leg in the couch and did the mini lap dance? I have passed away

Katya being bullied by Violet. My s7 besties who I love and miss so much god bless I will take any crumbs I can get.

Not to be horribly biased but Thirsty was robbed.

Shut up this totally improves Katya’s lip sync record to 2-5 because I said so

And now… goodbye to this show. I got what I came for

#katya #secret celebrity drag race #she looked so good #need her to perform that song live another hundred times thanks #also talking about eating children? #sure #ru loves her

repeating my mantra of "this post is not for me" so I'm not directly reblogging an infuriating post but I just have to say!!! that the fuckwads showing up at school board meetings yelling about critical race theory or whatever the fuck!!! ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY NOT PARENTS OF THE KIDS WHO GO TO SCHOOL THERE. They're conservative activist plants who travel from out of town to appear at board meetings or otherwise stir up trouble for publicity.

Source: my kids go to a school district that these fuckos are causing trouble in and the troublemakers (their names are public record bc the school board meetings are public and you can look them up) are all people who do not live in our district and/or do not have kids in our district. Some of them are wannabe politicians. Some are trying to drum up crazies on social media and using it as publicity to get more views and subscribers.

The ACTUAL PARENTS of the kids at school are largely fine. Sure there are conservatives and a handful of people who complain about things but there are also a handful of liberal troublemakers too and most people are just. Normal people.

#there was more in that post that infuriated me but #this one is close to home #other topics: yes parents do mobilize for actual good causes #it just doesn't eat up news cycles so you don't realize it's happening #and also jesus christ people #yes abusive parents definitely exist but saying all parents only want to control their children and don't love them is just #such a pile of bullshit #anyway #lita talks about herself

i do feel that my purpose in life is to love and care for other people. but i know i couldnt handle the stress of being a doctor and i dont want children of my own. and taking care of the house without a job of your own while your housemate(s) work is simply unfeasible today. what to do..

#uugh. ive been thinking for like a year now that i dont want to go to college but. i dunno #i might? want to be a child therapist? #bc kids scare me and i couldnt care for one medically or full time. #but i do feel very passionate about children's mental health being taken seriously and having someone there to talk thinfs through with #but again idk if id be able to handle hearing all that i would need to hear even if i was trying to help #ugh ugh #i keep. wondering if i should be a teacher. but i also want to be able to afford to eat lol #+ idk what id even teach or what age #idkkkk i feel like i wont rlly know until one of my siblings or friends has kids.. #i think i just want to get paid to be someone's friend. but like by the government not my friend #i was built to love not work!!!! the curse... #wish we still lived in a world where it was feasible to have someone stay home and take care of the house.. i feel like id like to do that #bc i like cleaning and doing things for other people #uuuuuuuuuugh. world please change by the time im 18 so i can afford to be payed in simple love and gratitude #fred.txt

I find it fumny that people say that Elon Muskrat has the mentality of a 6 year old.

Which is offensive to 6 year olds. They're often very smart and if you explain to them what's happening they reason it and accept it.

You know what mentality he has? Of a far right aligned male, and I know this because I've met tons of them through the years and they all act the same. Hell! I live with one!

And it's always the same story. They refuse to lose, they know everything and more than everyone else, they won't listen to your arguments because they're already convinced that you're wrong, they will even deny actual data!!!

And that's what makes them so dangerous, they have absolutely no capacity for introspection.

#hong talks #Reminds me of that time during quarantine #when many studies were coming out and they were talking about them on TV #and they started talking about how many children go to school just because they get to eat #and what is the hope for those children with online classes #and he started rambling about how that's a lie and is stupid #I'M A TEACHER. I'M A STUDENT. I know this. I've seen this everyday I've spent at school. #so I told him that + the fact that he's fighting literal factual information #he screamed a me. he told me that all those polls that say our country is poor are wrong. that is impossible. #that if it'strue that 1/4 Paraguayans are hungry it means that the neighbor in front of us is hungry #WHICH IS A LIE!!!! #and like not only is that a very stupid misunderstanding of data but also is deflecting the matter at hand #he screamed and hit the table and when he realized I'm not afraid of him he got up and went to his bedroom #another time there was this classmate's dad who kept interrupting my WW2 presentation #He kept saying out loud that Hitler is still alive in Argentina because he came to Paraguay #and like everyone in the public was annoyed at him #I was 13 #So i corrected him and he went ballistic with his conspiracy theories and kept repeating the same over and over again #so I said Sir there is absolutely no proof for that because we know Hitler did this and this and he just got up screamed something and left #afterwards the teacher's told me I shouldn't talk back to adults. #They're simply so entitled that they believe they're entitled to the truth as well

yk like ive always been grateful i grew into a really loving and healthy family esp bc im aware my mom grew up in the most horrible environment and i love her so much for breaking all those vicious cycles but ive been reading all about love by bell hooks and idk each page makes me throw up and die in both a good and a bad way

#like ok maybe it wasnt the Healthiest environment when i was a child but it also was never abusive or toxic or anything #my parents just werent fit for each other and that was basically it #and my dad too he also grew up in a basically loveless family and though it wasnt abusive it wasnt nice either #and i see the ppl his siblings became and the way they treat their children and it rly shows just how lucky i was #and my mom like her life was awful just awful i dont know how she managed to become the person she is bc shes like a perfect mom and friend #and everything #and yesterday a cousin she hadnt heard from since they were teens bc he went 2 the usa at 15 called her #and its crazy yk like hes doing good now but everyone knows they treat undocumented immigrants like literal garbage #let alone a 15 yr old child #and the thing is my mom's family was far poorer than his #and its insane and unbelievable 2 everyone how my family who would go days without eating and where everyone had to work from age 7 or so #would go on to become professors and idk like his family wasnt rich but they definitely werent as poor as them #and like his children grew up in completely different conditions than i did #and like that could've easily been me #and its so weird thinking of my life #like i can be here making silly posts everyday in a completely different language and talk about work and school and silly old men #when my mom at my age was working her ass off at the only school they could afford and would be married in a few months #and my grandma at my age was already married and expecting a child bc she left her home at 18 bc she couldnt keep handling the abuse #and like i lead a completely different life just bc . my mom made good decisions #and its just . ive had a rly good life despite not doing anythign to deserve it #like i dont mean in order to have a good life and a loving family you must earn it ofc not #but i just think about my mom and my grandma and my aunt and all of my relatives however distant or close they might be #and im still the only person in my entire family to ever go to college and i mean i did work hard to get in but my mom and any of my uncles #were far more hardworking and smarter but they just didnt have any money #and i mean thats the case w a lot of ppl #and again its not that u have to earn it everyone should have access to education and a home and have their basic needs meet basically #but thats sadly not the case #and im just too close to this #i really just got lucky #and its like . what if my parents never broke the cycles

[fractallogic]

Also people (other postdoc) are really frustrating today because they’re being VERY indirect with their questions. Like WHY do you want to know whether anyone else was asked to review a paper out of this special issue. Were you feeling combative and thinking you might have been asked to take on additional ~labor~? WHY do you ask me if it’s a good idea to get our class students to attend the events we’re putting on for the ling dept? Is it because you want to inform me that we SHOULD (since you’re citing our PI saying it’s a good idea)? Or are you actually asking me if this thing that would improve our attendance numbers and therefore look better is a thing that we should do… to improve our attendance numbers… and look better..?

Also undergrad, buddy, you KNOW where “the lab” is, which is why I didn’t elaborate further when I said that’s where we should meet today, because you were THERE when PI had us go on a lab tour for one of our lab meetings and when she explained that this space is shared by all of the psycholinguists and their students/lab members, and that’s why when you go to “the lab” for the OTHER PI you work with, you frequently see me working there even though I am not formally a member of other PI’s lab

I have a meeting with this undergrad and a grad student in an hour and I really need to shake off this incredible amount of irritation I’m feeling but oh my god WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE THIS

#also yes I did watch a half-hour YouTube video where a lawyer analyzed the roe overturnment and the dissenting opinion #and my god are the majority opinionaters just. fucking stupid and appalling #I mean we knew this already. #but god. please make your war on uterus-havers less obvious #I do actually rely on abortion; namely that if all of my birth controls fail that I can terminate this thing that I have NEVER wanted #that I don’t have to do the thing I have nightmares about #and that my partner also doesn’t want!! #like yes he’s said multiple times that he’s very excited to get a vasectomy when he gets to the US as another layer of precaution #but EVERYTHING can fail and sorry I just like to have sex with a partner who can impregnate me #you motherfuckers also RELY ON abortions as a way to keep your affairs quiet and also to not have more children #since all of you opinionaters can still get people pregnant despite being ancient fucking ballsacks of human beings #BULLSHIT no one RELIES ON abortions #fucking. I. fuck #so anyway I have to talk to these kids about goal-setting for writing #hoo boy what a change in mindset I’m going to have to do #also I need to pack a lunch because although I’m not hungry now I will be very mad at the defense if I don’t eat #nnnnngggghhhhhhh everything is bad!!!

Octopus friend here!!

(The one who thought the Frogs were octopi, changed my user since then soo whoop)

And eheh!! A question for you as the distraction post requests,

How come objects sometimes look like they have faces?

Hello frogtopus friend!! Why objects sometimes look like they have faces, as explained to a four year old: Our brains are like really really complex machines. They are doing all kinds of things in the background as we walk around and [list one or two things the kid likes doing or is currently doing]. Without thinking about it, you're breathing in and out, and blinking, and your body is turning your food into energy. How cool is that! So many things you don't have to tell your body to do, it just does them automatically. One of those things that humans are really really good at doing automatically is recognizing patterns, and one of the patterns we are best at recognizing is faces. I think it's because if we were out in the forest (or in whatever fantasy setting of a show/book the kid likes), and there were lions or tigers or monsters out to get us*, noticing them before they could pounce would help keep us safe. And there are lots of different kinds of animals, that are different colors and sizes and everything, but you know what they all have? Faces! Every animal we might see on land has a face, and most of the animals in the sea have faces too! Do you know any animals that don't have faces? (maybe talk about jellyfish and starfish and animals** like that). Nowadays, we spend less time worrying about lions and tigers and monsters, but that automatic face recognition is still in our brains, so we still notice faces. We're just more likely to see them on trees or stains on the ground or in the clouds. Why do you think we see faces on things? (talk for a while about their ideas) Let's see who can find the most faces in the house/yard/room! Ready, set, go! Let's find some faces! *unless you live somewhere where large carnivores hunting children is a legitimate concern, maybe do not tell toddler that the hypothetical lions are trying to kill or eat them. Depending on the kid, that could be fine, or it could give them nightmares and make them scared to go outside (not as dramatic, but I accidentally had the toddler I babysat super afraid of snakes for a few days and he wouldn't go in the part of his yard with tall grass. We did live somewhere with a lot of rattlesnakes, though, so it was important that he knew that there were dangerous snakes and what to watch out for so he wouldn't *run towards a snake* again)

**idk where the line is between "animal" and "not animal" or where jellyfish fall but I do not think that's a line a four year old is likely to know a lot about or care about

#ask away! #tj explains things to toddlers #snake mention #local-hellcat #long post #explaining to toddlers why objects sometimes look like they have faces #I don't know if that's really the reason we see faces? #I think it's like vaguely in the right direction of the answer #so I made sure to couch it as 'this is what I think' #and ask 'what do you think?' #I try not to lie to children #that said. the tolerance for sentences like 'if lions are trying to eat you' varies WILDLY between little kids #when I was a toddler I really really liked animals and the movie Jumanji #the idea of large carnivores eating me wouldn't have bothered me a bit I'd just have started talking about the food chain #(yes I know now it's called the food web I did not know that at age four) #but I have met several toddlers that are terrified at the idea of any animal out to get them #I've also had a toddler chased by a dog and utterly unafraid (both toddler and dog were fine I intervened) #so...err on the side of not implying they could get eaten by lions if you don't know the kid well #if you do know the kid well use your best judgment #the toddler I babysat was completely unafraid of any kind of animal (except temporarily snakes) #but was TERRIFIED for weeks after learning about the SCP foundation through youtube videos of a game #that was like...based on it? a version of it? #he was having nightmares and his parents had no idea what SCP was and I had to explain it while also only vaguely knowing

[pollen]

i told my bf about some dad who had his kids with him at the store today, who was standing in the way of the clif bars (i wanted to get some) grabbing fistfuls of the white chocolate macadamia nut (wcmn) ones (mine and my bf's favorite flavor), and my bf was like "that's gonna be me with our kids one day. just absolutely in the way. fisftuls of wcmn clif bars" and i nearly passed out

#idk why it still makes me ! when he talks about our future children. he's the one who first talked about it #i gotta eat! i gotta eat so i can have a baby! #we also wanna take a road trip this summer to crater lake and the redwoods so i gotta like. eat so i can do that

[paragonrobits]

some important calvin and hobbes facts in case you haven't read the original comic strip in a long time or only absorbed stuff on it from memes and out of context bits on here:

Calvin's last name has never been given, and neither has any of his parent's names. This was actually why his uncle Max only showed up for a brief storyline; the creator of the comic, Bill Watterson, ultimately felt that while it was fine to have him as someone for his parents to talk to, it felt far too awkward to never have Max refer to them by name and he never made a return appearance.

The general tone of the comic is fairly light-hearted, with a big emphasis on goofy slapstick comedy contrasted by clever wordplay and often surprising adult-centered jokes that'll hit you like a slap. A big part of the comedy is, as Watterson put it (paraphrased) "It's really funny to me when people express deeply stupid ideas with really fancy terminology." One notable example you might have seen is that one bit where Calvin asks his mom for money to buy a Satan-worshiping rock album and his mom replies that there's nothing genuine about them and they're just putting on the attitude for shock value, and comisserates with Calvin as he deplores that mainstream nihilism can't be trusted. He concludes that childhood is disillusioning.

There is a LOT of criticism of the extreme materialism and selfish mentality of the late 80s, when the comic was initially written. This may go a long way to explain how its aged so well; much of what it criticizes resonates well with people today.

Bill Watterson views comic strips a legitimate form of artwork, and repeatedly fought to have more space to draw more beautiful and artistic backgrounds, which was a very hard fight and unpopular even with other comic strip artists. He eventually did win some compromises and a lot of Calvin And Hobbes' artwork shows it, with the use of space to indicate time as well as a sharp contrast between the often plain environments of mundane life contrasted by the wildly beautiful imagery of Calvin's imagination (which often sports realistic depictions in an art shift of sorts).

Hobbes is explicitly not an imaginary friend, by word of Watterson himself. We don't know WHAT he is exactly, and Hobbes is apparently unaware of the strange nature of his reality; people look at him and only see an ordinary stuffed tiger plushie, but he has a tangible effect on the world that would be physically impossible for Calvin to do on his own. He's apparently been around for a while, and was apparently around when Calvin was a young baby.

On that note; Hobbes has implicitly killed (notably treated as both a gag and also with the vibe of 'he's a tiger, duh') and while he doesn't do it again on-screen, he doesn't have any moral issues about it. Calvin claims that he's never had trouble bringing Hobbes to school because the last time he did, Hobbes killed and ate a bully named Tommy Chestnut and simply comments that it was gross and he needed a bath. Calvin's tried to repeat this again, but Hobbes was grossed out at the thought having to eat a kid raw and not being allowed to use an oven first, or complaining that children are too fattening.

Hobbes became gradually less human-like in body language and more like an actual cat in both body language and behavior; this was due to Watterson drawing more inspiration from his cat, who also inspired a lot of Hobbes' running gags, such as pouncing on Calvin when he got home. Several years into the syndication of the strip, Watterson's cat passed away, and he did a tribute to her with a comic strip of the two of them agreeing to try to dream together so they can keep playing when they have to sleep; Watterson's commentary (if I recall right), remarks on his cat: "We can see each other again in dreams."
