i will never understand why more people in their 80s don't commit felonies. you reach that age and surely there's something illegal you always wanted to do but didn't bc Consequences

i genuinely have no animosity towards ppl who get upset abt not being able to read academic texts + i do think we need to expand the pathways/methods of being exposed to critical concepts so that "sit + read for 2 hours" is not the only option.
however, as someone dx with adhd + incapable of sitting still for even a minute (actually right at this moment i am writing this instead of reading the book sitting open in front of me), i do feel like a lot of ppl do not realize that not all readings are designed to be read like a novel.
as in, it's ok + normal + good to need to reread a paragraph several times, to only read part of a book, to have to research or reference words or concepts in order to grasp the reading, to skip over large chunks of text which are not relevant to your expertise, to continue reading despite not understanding a concept. this is something 'neurotypical' academics do frequently + many of these texts, especially contemporary ones, were designed with this in mind.
there are many ppl with accessibility needs that are not being met by academic texts at this time! many texts (in my humble opinion) are unnecessarily complex in order to show off or hide the fact that they have no idea what they're talking about.
i still feel like many of the kneejerk reactions on this site are based on the assumption that their experience reading academic texts should be similar to their experiences reading a nyt bestseller, rather than a process of thinking, analyzing, researching, processing, returning. some of u are telling yourself that any challenges u face while reading are a result of some internal fault u have + not an expected + precious part of the experience.

geordi was so fuckin real for casting himself as watson like his idea for a perfect evening was to book out the holodeck and acquire period appropriate outfits just so he could listen to data infodump at length

Why couldn't the amulet have been hidden by Aunt Alice, who understands modern key exchange algorithms?
Puzzles [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
[Possibly teenage versions of Hairy, Jill, Ponytail, and Cueball, listed from left to right, are standing in a line. Hairy is in a thinking pose, Jill faces Hairy, and Ponytail and Cueball are walking to the right; Cueball is pointing off-panel.] Hairy: Aunt Gertrude must have left a clue to the amulet's location. Jill: Hmm. Wait a minute. Jill: Gertrude. G. Hairy: As in "Ground!" Jill: And "diG a hole!" Ponytail: I'll get a shovel! Cueball: To the yard!
[Caption below the panel:] Some of the authors of books I read as a kid were terrible at designing puzzles.

I found this beautiful small book by Japanese artist Zenji Funabashi, created while he was living in Toronto for a stretch in the 1970s. Only 200 were printed, I feel so lucky to have found this gem. 
I scanned the entirety and you can read through it on my account at archive.org
Zenji Funabashi b. 1942, Kawasaki, Japan. 
He is an artist, with works on paper and wood.

I'm so happy to have accidentally discovered such a wonderful artist. Hope you enjoy too!

Value Village this week was disappointingly nondescript but I did find:

Iridescent shoes that were two sizes too small but I still tried to jam my feet into them before coming to terms.
Tumblr media
Twilight Fanfic and Twilight Fanfic Fanfic.
Tumblr media
A print of Rembrandt's Night Watch that has, ironically, spent far too much time in the sun.

Pretty sure this is the ghost from the Sallie House.

Anybody need two kg of receipt tape?

Eleven puzzles and I bet not one of them has all its pieces. And if they weren't originally all mixed together in this box they sure are now.

February 15th marks 3 important anniversaries for Gravity Falls…alongside it's conclusion!
On this day 6 years ago, Alex Hirsch revealed the cover to Lost Legends via Puzzling Pines! 11 years ago, Boss Mabel aired, marking the end of the first major hiatus. And 8 years ago, Weirdmageddon 3 aired…ending Gravity Falls & leaving behind one weird but incredible legacy!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Who would've thought the day Gravity Falls came back in 2013 would be the day it ends on 3 years later…and then again 2 years later is the day we learn the name of the then newest content we were getting for it.
Also like every year, I highly recommend watching this incredible GF tribute video by Valkyrie247 In 2017!
youtube
We all have our starting point in the Gravity Falls fandom! A bedrock that built our place in it today! This video was my entry into the fandom! It inspired me so much back in 2017 and is the bedrock video that I built my GF fandom adventure on! Please give it some love! I wouldn't do what I do today without creators like Valkyrie247!!
Stay Weird, everyone :P
Long Live Gravity Falls
2012 - 2016
Also…XQWLWOHG WKDWJIIDQ SURMHFW! DQQRXQFHPHQW VRRQ! ;)

Sharing the sketch for March
welp I didn't finish this before the end of the month but I made some good progress. I draw terraces so quickly when in the sketch stage, then I go into rendering and have to redraw the same terrace 10 times because the perspective looks wrong.
please enjoy my barely sketched in skydancer as well lol
