A general tip for students who are sending those dreaded Religious Absence Emails to your professors: Rather than asking permission to take the day(s) off, politely let them know that you will be taking the day(s) off.

In other words, consider not saying this:

"May I miss class on [date] so I can observe [holiday]?"

It's not that there's anything wrong with the above, per se. But because it's phrased as a request, it risks coming across as optional — a favor you hope to be granted. Problem is, favors are not owed, and so unfortunately asking permission opens the door for the professor to respond "Thanks for asking. No, you may not. :)"

Instead, try something along the lines of:

"I will need to miss class on [date] because I will be observing [holiday]. I wanted to let you know of this conflict now, and to ask your assistance in making arrangements for making up whatever material I may miss as a result of this absence."

This is pretty formal language (naturally, you can and should tweak it to sound more like your voice). But the important piece is that, while still being respectful, it shifts the focus of the discussion so that the question becomes not "Is it okay for me to observe my religion?", but rather, "How can we best accommodate my observance?"

Because the first question should not be up for debate: freedom of religion is a right, not a favor. And the second question is the subject you need to discuss.

(Ideally, do this after you've looked up your school's policy on religious absences, so you know what you're working within and that religious discrimination is illegal. Just in case your professor forgot.)

#this strategy got me through all of college #and some professors were a lot more supportive than others but no one ever told me no #because i didn't give them the chance #jumblr #judaism #religious absences #relevant to other minority religions as well #as well as non-religious accommodations #and non-school settings #dandelion says #jewish dandelion #note: the policy/legality details will vary depending on where you live and go to school #when i talk about religious discrimination laws this is based on public universities in the us

did someone actually hate on your fave? or did they neutrally attribute a trait to them that you've unnecessarily negatively moralized and you hurt own feelings about it? or, perhaps, did you project too hard and now interpret even mild critique or simple acknowledgement of interesting character flaws as an ad hominem attack on yourself?

#like I'm sorry but. as an essek stan. skill issue. #ngl I'm more inclined to block someone going 'essek is baby who has never done anything wrong in his life and he should be exonerated' #than someone going 'essek is a horrible criminal and he should die' #the first is like 'incorrect. even his partner does not hold this opinion.' #the second is like 'depending on your tone it's possible you have a point. let's talk it out and see if you do' #I myself have also had my fave formally executed on occasion. for kicks and angst. 😌 #actually laughing this reminded me of a one-shot post live show that I never finished where caleb and essek basically have this conversatio #I should actually finish and post that #anyway this is not that serious it's just constantly on my mind on this hellsite

i just realized the Unus Annus is a year away from going into kindergarten (usually 5yo's start kindergarten)

. Oh my god

#not happy birthday #ask reply #anon ask #unus annus #I am American so I do know that about kindergarten #teeechnically it would depend on where they live methinks #I think for California as long as you turn 5 before december 5th or something you can be in kindergarten that year #don’t quote me on that though

MXTX MC conflicts go:

Yi City: my boyfriend thinks I am a prolific murderer and specifically murdered a bunch of people his bff loves to get back at him. also that I tricked him into doing murders with me, for enrichment. I did all those things but did not anticipate having a feeling about his feelings.

Scum Villain: my boyfriend thinks I want to kill him but I don't.

MDZS: my boyfriend thinks I hate him but I don't.

TGCF: my boyfriend doesn't know I exist but I'm worried that once he finds out he's going to find my eyepatch ugly and my cavern of effigies offputting.

#it may be unfair to pull yi city #out of its published context #arguably it should be sitting at the doomed subplot table with Beefleaf and Qijiu #but I think it's more fun to treat it like juvenalia and this is my shitpost #and anyway it basically depends whether you decide Song Lan or Xue Yang is love interest coded #Xue Yang is absolutely living the full MXTX love interest experience except the author somehow didn't notice it's a romcom? #where is his third act where the mc realizes that all that lies between them is a big pile of misunderstandings and totally irrelevant #murders. he can make a zombie a-qing if he feels like it #sometimes I yearn to express my feelings about this body of work in graph form #love interest's ability to care about things that are not mc: down up down #love interest's ability to tolerate estranged bff #up up up #mxtx love interests wear grey and pink factoid is false #Lan Wangji who lives on a mountain and wears nothing but white #is an outlier and should not be counted

did the anti-caesarians still fighting in spain even use the julian calendar

#spam tag #i know nothing about the jc so i’m not even gonna search for an answer #but it would be fun and devastating if the battle of munda had two dates depending on where you stood #and it would be equally fun and haunted to fight a guy while already living in His Time

[prima-donna-worm]

also everybody saying mira is going to be anti the princess plan bc she refused to kill the prince and I’m like that’s valid but consider

she might not have been willing to kill someone she loved in cold blood, but after losing everything she ever knew for someone who turned out not to love her back, she might see the appeal of burning down this world to in the hopes of making way for a new and better and kinder one

#like I think it reallllly depends on how much any of them accept the pitch of like is this mass murder/suicide #or is this letting the old world be replaced by one where people can be happier than they are in this one #and I think if you have nothing left to live for that logic is a lot easier to buy into #which is why elody is going to b sooo inch resting now that she knows gerard is alive 👀 #neverafter #dimension 20 #d20

Not so much a fun fact, but, popsicle means "picolé" in portuguese.

Also, I wanted to know if US has anything close to "geladinho" , which is basically frozen juice in a plastic bag.

You know what these look like to me?

Freeze pops!

These are bags of juice that you freeze and then you eat! So I guess they’re universal

#asks! #anon! #they’ve got different names depending on where you live #I just call them freeze pops

I have so many questions about Astarion's birth family that it isn't even funny.

I wonder what sort of relationship/dynamic they all had before his death, I wonder how they reacted, if they knew he was "alive" as a spawn the entire time and just ignored it because that creature wasn't their son/brother/nephew anymore, how they would react if told he had spent 200 years suffering. Most of all, I wonder if they would accept (or be proud of) the man he became at the end of the game.

#astarion #i mean the grave being pretty overgrown is kind of telling that no one is taking care of it anymore #but was he estranged? did his family move away? was there a period where they took care of it and thought about him? #did they feel guilt thinking there could have been something they could have done to save him or keep the gurs from attacking? #do they still think of him as a baby Elf because he was killed so young despite the fact he has literally been undead for 200 years? #did they die as well? #this concept has so much potential for angst and fluff depending on the type or relationship they had #and if they accept him as the vampire spawn he is if they are still around and alive #which I mean it is highly likely he has family still around #because Elves live a ridiculously long time #239/240 is still young enough to have siblings parents and maybe even grandparents out there #could you imagine him meeting a neice or nephew and them telling him stories that their parent told to them about uncle Astarion? #like someone cared enough to keep his memory alive and teaching family he never got to meet about him

-Back on the Beat-

Part 1. 03

Kim scrolls through his message history with Porchay. It’s been weeks now, but still they haven’t exchanged any actual words with each other.

Kim doesn’t know what he’s supposed to do here... is it okay to just send Porchay a regular text? He wants to... he wants to talk to Porchay normally again, but he doesn’t know if he’s allowed to.

Would Porchay even respond to him if he did? Would he fuck up whatever delicate bridge they’ve built here? Kim doesn’t want Porchay to block him again. He did start this... maybe he should let Porchay decide if it should be anything more.

I'm enjoying Fallout 3 a little more but there’s one thing that’s extremely bothering me.

How come, in the dialogue options, I can NEVER can mention, I was FORCED to leave the vault?

I didn’t have a choice but to leave. Jonas Palmer was beaten to death in attempts to get info about my father James. The Overseer was going to have the same done to me if not WORSE.

The Lone Wanderer: "So they killed Jonas, and I'm next, is that it?"

Amata: "Yeah. It's lucky I got here ahead of them. But we can't stand here talking! You're got to get out of here!"

I understand my father didn't know this would happen. That he simply thought I wouldn't be able to leave the vault after he escaped.

But the fact I can never explain what happened when reunited with him is just so ODD!?!?!!?

I COULDN’T STAY!!!!!!!

I FEEL LIKE THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD WANT TO KNOW DAD!!!!!

WHY ARE THESE MY ONLY OPTIONS?!?!?!?!!!!!

Why give me that entire section where I had to escape the vault to avoid MURDER!!?? If they were going to back me in a corner (dialogue wise) that I would've gone after my father no matter what.

It would've made the dialogue option, "Why would you throw away the life we had?" WAY MORE INTENSE AND INTERESTING IF I COULD TELL HIM HIS ACTIONS UNINTENTIONALLY AFFECTED ME!!!

It could've been followed by a cute bonding moment where he apologizes and says while this life was never what he wanted for me he'll now help me adjust however he can.

#WHICH COULD'VE LEAD TO EVEN MORE UNIQUE DIALOGUE!!! #Accepting his offer + Being Neutral and saying you need to do this on your own + CRUELY REJECTING HIM!!! #At least Vault 112 was REALLY COOL!!!! #I had fun doing everything Stanislaus Braun wanted before reloading to an older save. #FIGURING OUT THAT MUSIC PUZZLE WAS VERY VERY FUN!!!!! #Fallout 3 #Fallout 3 Spoiler #The frustrating part is I'M ROLEPLAYING AS A CHARACTER WHO WOULD'VE GONE AFTER HER FATHER NO MATTER WHAT!!!! #But is also grieving the loss of the potential life she could've had inside the vault and her lack of choice. #How she HAD to leave because of her Fathers actions and is now feeling lost in this new world he never prepared her for. #MAJOR SPOILER -> #My only guess is it's because dad dies later on RIP I knew he died but I thought it was dependent on your karma. #SO IMAGINE MY SURPRISE!!! I really thought he was going to live in my route. #Writing my The Lone Wanderer the biggest revenge arc!! #Where she has to not betray herself and her morals in the process of getting revenge. #Long Text #Long Post #MaddyPlaysFallout3

don't cry. pour a small-seeming serving of any pasta noodle you'd like in a deep microwave-safe bowl, just barely cover the noodles with water, microwave for roughly 2 minutes 30 seconds, stir, microwave for 2 more minutes, carefully drain the pasta water from the pasta, liberally mix shredded non-mozzarella cheese into the hot noodles, and pour small amounts of milk in (maaaybe a school milk carton's worth or two at most) to taste and to make it creamier, okay?

#rosie babbles #nightblogging #recipe #macaroni #nothing against mozzarella ofc. it's just that the traits that make it perfect for mozza sticks and string cheese make for abysmal sauce #and you Will want to be careful with your water levels. #either that or be ready to use a sizable amt of paper towel to mop up the microwave platter. #also the timing can be fiddled with. experimentation is fun :) #you can also be like me and add garlic salt to the cheese sauce but i'm well aware i'm probably a bit of a freak like that xD #the fun thing abt this is that it's quicker than making actual boxes of macaroni #but allows for much more fiddling than Follow The EasyMac Instructions #literally the only bad-tasting version of this i've made so far was the one where i forgot to drain the water first. #also re: the water #depending on the bowl and your arm/wrist/grip strength you can carefully tilt the bowl over the sink #and use a spoon to hold the noodles back as you drain it #noodles that have been tested: egg. macaroni. small shells. bowtie (better eaten w/fork not spoon). #cheeses that have been tested: 'mexican-blend' shredded. additional pcs from sliced cheddar and colby jack #cheeses to avoid: mozzarella #i'd test this with lactose-free dairy #but i live in a house where cow milk is king and dairy substitutes are always easy targets for complaining #i can't think of any reason swapping out dairy for non-dairy or regular noodles for gluten-free noodles would cause issues tho
