Man…I’m not going to lie, it’s not remotely rewarding anymore to buy what would normally be fun happifying things. Most of the time I have to return what I ordered because it’s poor-quality or defective in some way. And what I do keep, I usually keep because it’s adequate enough to not bother returning.

I can think of maybe one non-essential splurge I bought in the past two years that actually rewards me by virtue of its quality, and that was a bluetooth gaming controller for playing Minecraft on my iPad.

As an adult I think me and all my friends should all have matching schedules and work like 20 hours a week and also everyone lives within 15 minutes of each other why is that so much to ask

Ladies, Gentlemen, and Friends Beyond the Binary:

A PSA from your friendly 30-something:

If you have a sedentary job and suddenly decide you should exercise more. Do not, I repeat DO NOT just suddenly throw yourself into it with a wild abandon. You will damage yourself in ways you did not know humans could be damaged.

#I gave myself a shin splint #it hurts so so bad #like so bad #the doctor gave me an x-ray to make sure I didn't get a stress fracture on my shin bone #ouch #also don't forget to stretch #getting older is not for sissies

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

#YESSSSS #SCIENCE!

Grad school is lying to you. You can indulge fixations on obscure topics on your own time. You can sit in a library color-coding notes on articles printed from JSTOR for free. You can argue with dead philosophers in essay format whenever you like. Academia is a state of mind.

Don’t tell your daughter that when a boy is mean or rude to her it’s because he has a crush on her. Don’t teach her that abuse is a sign of love.

in mesopotamia there were no 'cover letters' or 'curriculum vitaes'. there were just, pots.

At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.

You must unlearn this.

You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.

If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.

It pisses me the fuck off that yoga is actually ancient and really good for you. Part of me still feels like it was invented to extract wealth from white socal moms.
