I know she had era tour but I don’t think I can do it w a broken heart is actually eras tour

I thought of this too. Maybe sometime down under? No way to know, but I did think the line she threw in at the end “Try and come for my job” might have hinted at something. I can read it both ways. As always, we’ll never know for sure. But I think it’s fair to say she has felt this way many times. It reminded me of Katy having to go on stage immediately after having her husband tell her he was filing for divorce. And it’s relatable. We’ve all had to put on a happy face at work and pretend things are fine at home.

#on a personal note #it reminds me of one of my depressive episodes where everyday I just didn’t want to get out of bed or do anything #and as a result I lost 15 pounds in a short period. #and when I did get out of bed and smiled I got a lot of comments about how great I looked #so I don’t think we need to necessarily dissect this so much #the point is sometimes she is deeply unhappy and we won’t know because like everyone she hides her feelings #and we should remember this always. we don’t know her. #body language experts should shut up because if she’s in public she knows she can be video’d or photographed at any moment always #so she always has the face on she wants people to see #that sounds so exhausting

aww look mum a hit post 🥰 they really liked it when i called someone out for wishing death upon people for [checks notes] raising money for a billboard instead of performatively posting about donations to palestine on tumblr dot com

look at all my fans who are wishing such nice things for me 🥰

#i’m sure the kids in gaza are warmer and safer and better fed as a result of you wanting me to kill myself #great activism everybody #lyse.jpg #ofmd #i didn’t even give any money to the fucking billboards but sure go off i guess #sorry normally i’d redact usernames but i don’t have the time apparently! gotta get busy ending my life!

if i’m being honest, my mental batteries are badly drained bc of the day’s events and then pushing myself to hang out with my sister when i knew i didn’t have the energy to do it. i’m really excited to write!! i wanna bug y’all and shout about muses!! and i feel bad to not be here after being away so much, but i need to recharge. i’ll write and chat tomorrow when i can devote more energy to it! pls have a very wonderful night and an even better week!!

#get ready to ramble | ooc #i didn’t expect my sister to wanna hang out and i couldn’t say no #and any other day it would’ve been fine but tonight i feel overstimulated and a lil weepy as a result #i need to be a mindless rock for a lil bit and then get some sleep uvu #and y’all are always so kind and reassuring and patient but i still hate to not be here when i planned on it ;; #i just!! really wanna shower y’all with writing and love on y’all #pls know it’s gonna happen even if i’m slow about it!!

“The narrative doesn’t hold Iroh accountable enough” guys I’m begging you to be able to interpret things and make conclusions without needing to be spoonfed everything. guys please. guyssssssss

#the show wasn’t ABOUT Iroh #and sometimes not everything is wrapped up in a neat little bow and sometimes not all people get their exact comeuppance #redemption arcs come from internal motivation #and sometimes it’s not this staged apology and forgiveness #actions matter more than words and mans literally used the comet to reclaim Ba Sing Se for the earth kingdom #also guys #his SON DIED #‘he didn’t get any punishment’ HIS SON DIED AS A DIRECT RESULT OF HIS ACTIONS #also again the SHOW ISNT ABOUT HIM #he serves a narrative purpose within it but it’s not. going to detail his entire character arc #yall can dislike Iroh as much as you want and that’s fine but going ‘liking Iroh is problematic actually’ #is so incredibly stupid #…and so incredibly tumblr #but what would I expect from a fan base that thinks natla’s spoonfeeding everything is good actually #atla fandom salt #atla fandom critical #avatar the last airbender #iroh

people online will be like “haha i will make 9/11 jokes because the american reaction to the event had many levels of irrationality” but will not confront the massive amounts of internalised islamophobia that arose from american propaganda justifying the ‘war on terror’ and the iran and iraq wars which was then compounded by a culturally christian society that portrays Islam to be inhumane and oppressive resulting in them now hearing that a muslim group is targeting a fanfic website for ‘degeneracy’ and ‘being usa based’ and then believing it without a second thought

#will y’all confront your shit before you try to laugh about something that had horrendous real world impacts just because you’re only #thinking of how it applied to you #i also think ‘freedom fries’ and the change in country music to rabid nationalism and making kids watch it live on tv was fucking ridiculous #but that’s not the only result from it #anyway moral of the story confront your shit and do some introspection #this is a conversation i had with my friend in middle schools at the back of a very poorly taught history class where the teacher was an ex #catholic who was still basically catholic except he wanted to divorce his first wife and didn’t like that they didn’t want him to so he left #catholicism. however he didn’t understand any other religion and we were the only two people in the class who were not Christian or #culturally Christian. we both learned a lot about each other and our cultures and experiences. we didn’t learn much history tho #both of us did always get 95-100 grades in that class for the three years we had that guy as a hisory teacher #Islamophobia #9/11

ai art is art. i don’t like ai. but it’s still art. lots of things are art. the real issue is how ai is being used maliciously by people.

#and people who draw aren’t wrong for feeling upset if someone who uses ai copy’s their artwork and repurposes it. it feels like shit! #this example is primarily for drawing of course but. you spend more time working on a piece than someone does inputting commands to get #the same result. it’s disheartening to know a piece you worked 12+ hours on was completed by someone else in 5 minutes. #like damn i wasted all my time. (you didn’t! but it can feel that way sometimes because we get discouraged) #it doesn’t mean that it’s correct. #people are allowed to be pissed off that it steals from human artists. #that ai art is being used over human created art in the industry. saying human art sounds dumb as fuck but that’s what it is lol #i don’t convey exactly what i mean properly i think— but it’s not black and white #it sort of reminds me of the musician turns out to be an asshole -> his music was never that good anyway. when it is!! #but he’s still an ass!! #in reference to people hating ai art and therefore it is not art etc etc #also holy shit that post has the whole tumblr experience huh. instead of discussing civilly it’s condescending and assholish from both sides #tumblr users (i am not immune) are insane and stupid sometimes. anyway #when the go touch grass meme is embarrassingly real. #would not put any of this into that post because i would probably get my tags ss’d then a whole essay on how i’m stupid and wrong ☝️

y’all I finally got my official adhd diagnosis today and I’m still too excited about it to sleep

#maple rambles #medical misogyny is so fun #watching three males get diagnosis’ over the phone in under a week #and having to say the same thing to doctors and psychiatrists for years on end #being told it’s just anxiety or depression #and never getting any relief #grinding my face into the same blatant symptoms for ages #I’m so relieved #my diagnosing psychiatrist tried to tell me adults grow out of adhd in the same breath #it was wild #I verbally corrected him #literally if you type do people grow… #into google one of the first results is out of adhd #and literally every article that comes up says no #lmao #he also tried to tell me we didn’t talk about my childhood at my last appointment #I corrected him on that too #and after he found out who my new doctor was I could hear him deflate #she’s a woman who takes no shit #even with me #she’s given me stern shit before for generally forgetting things and not looking after myself #shit I deserved don’t worry lol #anyway #I’m still experiencing the dopamine high #can’t sleep #might work on my jinx figure for a bit

Well I guessed on a bunch of my questions for my physics exam, but I didn’t feel like a total failure this time, so I’ll take what I can get

#I somewhat studied for this one #but by that I mostly mean I looked at the intro to the concept videos and my notes #and then just rewrote those while I was in the test hall an hour early #so I didn’t look at any actual problems which was probably my downfall #but this time I know what to do #if I try I may be able to do it #maybe #or I’ll drop the class I’m not sure #I should probably figure that out soon since deadline for dropping is 5 tomorrow #but the teacher said he’d put in test results by tomorrow so we’ll know #but I think I’m getting into the groove of studying #like 2 weeks before the final #but I’ll take what I can get #I won’t make these mistakes next semester #physics #real life stuff

Phew. This one took, uh… a bit longer than expected due to other projects both irl and art-wise, but it’s finally here. The long-awaited domestic animal infographic! Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough space to cover every single domestic animal (I’m so sorry, reindeer and koi, my beloveds) but I tried to include as many of the “major ones” as possible.

I made this chart in response to a lot of the misunderstandings I hear concerning domestic animals, so I hope it’s helpful!

Further information I didn’t have any room to add or expand on:

🐈 “Breed” and “species” are not synonyms! Breeds are specific to domesticated animals. A Bengal Tiger is a species of tiger. A Siamese is a breed of domestic cat.

🐀 Different colors are also not what makes a breed. A breed is determined by having genetics that are unique to that breed. So a “bluenose pitbull” is not a different breed from a “rednose pitbull”, but an American Pitbull Terrier is a different breed from an American Bully! Animals that have been domesticated for longer tend to have more seperate breeds as these differing genetics have had time to develop.

🐕 It takes hundreds of generations for an animal to become domesticated. While the “domesticated fox experiment” had interesting results, there were not enough generations involved for the foxes to become truly domesticated and their differences from wild foxes were more due to epigenetics (heritable traits that do not change the DNA sequence but rather activate or deactivate parts of it; owed to the specific circumstances of its parents’ behavior and environment.)

🐎 Wild animals that are raised in human care are not domesticated, but they can be considered “tamed.” This means that they still have all their wild instincts, but are less inclined to attack or be frightened of humans. A wild animal that lives in the wild but near human settlements and is less afraid of humans is considered “habituated.” Tamed and habituated animals are not any less dangerous than wild animals, and should still be treated with the same respect. Foxes, otters, raccoons, servals, caracals, bush babies, opossums, owls, monkeys, alligators, and other wild animals can be tamed or habituated, but they have not undergone hundreds of generations of domestication, so they are not domesticated animals.

🐄 Also, as seen above, these animals have all been domesticated for a reason, be it food, transport, pest control, or otherwise, at a time when less practical options existed. There is no benefit to domesticating other species in the modern day, so if you’ve got a hankering for keeping a wild animal as a pet, instead try to find the domestic equivalent of that wild animal! There are several dog breeds that look and behave like wolves or foxes, pigeons and chickens can make great pet birds and have hundreds of colorful fancy breeds, rats can be just as intelligent and social as a small monkey (and less expensive and dangerous to boot,) and ferrets are pretty darn close to minks and otters! There’s no need to keep a wolf in a house when our ancestors have already spent 20,000+ years to make them house-compatible.

🐖 This was stated in the infographic, but I feel like I must again reiterate that domestic animals do not belong in the wild, and often become invasive when feral. Their genetics have been specifically altered in such a way that they depend on humans for optimal health. We are their habitat. This is why you only really see feral pigeons in cities, and feral cats around settlements. They are specifically adapted to live with humans, so they stay even when unwanted. However, this does not mean they should live in a way that doesn’t put their health and comfort as a top priority! If we are their world, it is our duty to make it as good as possible. Please research any pet you get before bringing them home!

supervisor was met. god help our souls

#I think everything is fine and this is mostly residual anxiety #but also. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #I now have a project area that I can start properly planning out which is good #and I have a vague schedule for the next month which helps a lot #next two weeks have just become very busy bc I have the majority of the writing for my proposal to do #I’m struggling most at this minute I think with why this actually matters #bc looking like my project will be abt spatial structure within populations which like cool interesting #but I do have to talk abt why anyone should care abt this #it is kinda frustrating to me actually bc I wanted to do smth with more immediate relevance now but the area I’ve ended up with #was 1. result of me dropping the topic I actually wanted to do 2. mentioning one of the first things I could figure out smth coherent for #3. supervisor latching onto that from my email and now we’re running with it #so okay like this immediate thing I’m doing won’t have any kind of application bc this is a study system so that’s not the issue #need to think wider abt what you learn from this and generalisability #has relevance to range shifts bc of climate change and from there is important to small scale evolutionary processes #whether you get differentiation or stratification within populations #potentially more relevant to island evolution and like. gene pool stuff? #I think I’m struggling rn bc I’ve not figured out my hypotheses yet and I can test things in a way that will be useful for other things #and there IS still utility in understanding things better come on I was willing to die on the pure science hill for so long #hdhdhsjdhnshdbsb I think I’m slightly frustrated by my supervisor just not thinking very much abt stuff #like he didn’t know the schedule for the proposal deadlines and I don’t think he knows the format tbh #I also had to tell him the focus was on the one year and not the extension bc. dude this is a masters I only have a year what #I know he’s done these before and it wasn’t exactly a surprise that this was coming so I’m kinda confused and a little annoyed #but okay it’s fine it’s fine. I can email him abt importance. and I’ll be asking abt titles around Wednesday once Ive figured out some ideas #rn i need to think about what I would be testing here with what I have available and how I would do it and I can write an overview from that #figure out what are the important questions to ask and I can find stuff that would be relevant to like conservation and shit #bc I KNOW that there’s important stuff here that I’m just not seeing. I might have to link stuff to fitness to get a more rounded analysis #which is also fine I can do that that’s probably a good way to tie the project together honestly. will make that one of the main aims #I think the studies on that are kinda lacking anyway and haven’t been done in a while so would still be filling a gap and if not #I can use THOSE studies for relevance of the project. that’s what im missing i think it’s the next step so I can understand consequences #luke.txt

Question: have you done an Embark test on Roland? If not, would you ever consider it?

I have! some of the results were what I expected (chihuahua and dachshund) or not surprising (rat terrier) but the traces of cocker spaniel, poodle, and pomeranian were definitely a surprise! it’s been fun watching what breed traits win out when it comes to his behavior. people are shocked that the test didn’t find any corgi in his background, and I can see why, since our classmate in the cgc class we help out with is a chihuahua/corgi mix and he and Roland look like they could be siblings. but yeah, overall he’s an even muttier mutt than I expected, and I wouldn’t trade him for the world!

#i love talking about the results of his embark test #those first three breeds make perfect sense and then the last three you’re like huh? #he definitely didn’t get the cost of any of the longer costed breeds he’s mixed with #which is good since he already sheds enough #roland #ask #anyway yeah here’s the recipe for my perfect boy

linguistics teacher gave feedback on my presentation and it’s stuff i can’t fix and am embarrassed to have wrong in the first place and knew was going to be an issue but chose to push past and now here we are

#i just don’t have enough fucking data like at all #‘surely the results weren’t all integers. why aren’t there any fractions?’ well you see. it’s because i had 14 recordings and two listeners #the moment my teacher shifts to understand that each data point is exactly what i collected as opposed to an average of what i have…. #but it’s fine. it’s fine. in other news guess who dreamed about the spreadsheet i was working on last night #okay how do i say this in a normal way though…. #‘hey joe - thanks for the feedback. i had a lot fewer listeners than speakers #so a lot of the numbers are based on one listener each. it’s the main flaw concern with my data but makes for very round numbers’ #perhaps. is maybe the only way to say it without just sounding fucking evil about it #anyway i’m cold and tired and i don’t want to go to class…. and i don’t have linguistics today so that part will be an email #my eyes hurt so bad i want to go back to sleep but this is second to last day of class this whole semester #so it’s kind of important that i at least try to participate #also does anyone have links to an npr story about a fading north carolina accent cause i know it exists but i don’t remember where #and my teacher always wants me to cite it but i can’t find it #that sounds worse than it is. my teacher picked out this article for me to use and then i can never track it down when i need it but i can’ #complain that there aren’t any sources i can use cause he so clearly described this one to me i just can’t find it. i didn’t invent a sourc #anyways…. i’m cold and tired and honestly plenty annoyed and i want to go back to sleep…. #but i will persevere i guess. a little over a week before i can just be free of all these classes #i’m tired when i wake up when i’m opening my eyes when i’m not feeling low i get tired out by the highs (/ly) #my eyes hurt and it’s cold outside the blanket and i have a stomachache and i feel strange. but i will persevere #okay. today i have two classes then i come home have a good call and work on the presentation in question. and perhaps go to a cocoa event #wednesday i have three classes including the actual presenting part of my presentation. and MAYBE a car seat headrest moment at my partner’s #but that’s just wishful thinking on my part and has not been discussed. car seat headrest moment = sleeping together in the literal sense #(it started out ironically on his part and now that’s just how i call it shdhdf) #and anyway then thursday morning either way we go and get breakfast early at like 8:45 and then by 10am i’m at a bus stop about to go home #for a MONTH AND A HALF. and there will still be assignments due in the meantime but so much less. and i’ll sleep a lot more at night i hope #anyways i’m going to be late to latin cause there’s nothing motivating me to pull up. but it’s fine it’s fine it’s fine #idk. i hope everyone is doing well and i’ll be back in a couple hours. i’m just not feeling well #me. my post. mine. #delete later
