hey I love you rural lgbt people who have no desire to leave where you live you shouldn't let anyone make you feel like you have to leave your home.
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
This is where TERFs came from btw. “I’m not transphobic, I just want to protect women from predators in women’s spaces!!” It’s the same idea no matter how you try to justify it.
I need people to think for a few extra seconds when they see a political take and figure out whether it is actually a leftist idea or just a facist idea with leftist words. “POC shouldn’t date White people because systemic racism creates an inherent unhealthy power inbalance” has the same outcome as “never mix.” “Uneducated people shouldn’t be allowed to vote, this is why Trump was elected” has the same outcome as literacy tests. If the central message has to do with restricting people’s rights to free speech and bodily autonomy, it’s probably not actually a leftist idea.

not to sound like a weak, morally impure centrist over here, but i think online leftist communities need to be a little more accepting of the concept that most people are just. not that well informed. we live in a society that provides access to an overwhelming amount of information and yet which discourages actually diving into much beyond the surface level. Most of the people you meet out in the world are just not gonna know much about a lot of what you care about, but that's not the same as being against those things, or being unwilling to learn, or being unnamenable to those ideas. Our modern society is an unending cascade of information and misinformation and disinformation and filtering through that shit enough to actually have a solid grasp of a subject, let alone a nuanced antiestablishment political take, is a skill that takes time and effort to develop, time and effort that is in very short supply. It really bothers me when I see leftists talk about how capitalism keeps us down by taking up all our time and energy and making recovery, both physical and emotional, cost what little we can afford, and then turn around and get upset that people are politically uninformed. On some level, you gotta meet some people where they are, and have a little faith in them to be open to new ideas and information. Ignorance is not inherently intentional, and it's not the same as antipathy.
IM OBSESSED
biting my arm to maintain my silence every time I see a post talking about how hera isnt an adult woman
the moon is a lesbian and she hates terfs
do me a favor and reblog this and put in the tags what time it is for you and what you're currently doing/thinking about
putting them in the torment nexus (college) with me
love my pumpkin
scary my pumpkin
It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.
There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!
when talking about AI remember the different versions:
Analytical AI, is the one that can detect cancer and save lives
Generative AI is the one that steals art to make it worse, and gives you a wrong answer every time you google something
Weird Al is the one who got his ponysona to canonically have children with a pony from my little pony
What do your guys’ phone cases look like? Describe them and add your sign in the tags
omg ok put in the tags a food that makes u feel like life is worth living when you eat it. like u eat it and it's soo good and everything's fine actually
Yuri Gagarin, the hobbyist photographer, at home with his wife.
In the 35 years since its launch aboard space shuttle Discovery, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided stunning views of galaxies millions of light years away. But the leaps in technology needed for its look into space has also provided benefits on the ground. Here are some of the technologies developed for Hubble that have improved life on Earth.
Charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors have been used in digital photography for decades, but Hubble’s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph required a far more sensitive CCD. This development resulted in improved image sensors for mammogram machines, helping doctors find and treat breast cancer.
In preparation for a repair mission to fix Hubble’s misshapen mirror, Goddard Space Flight Center required a way to accurately measure replacement parts. This resulted in a tool to detect mirror defects, which has since been used to develop a commercial 3D imaging system and a package detection device now used by all major shipping companies.
A computer scientist who helped design software for scheduling Hubble’s observations adapted it to assist with scheduling medical procedures. This software helps hospitals optimize constantly changing schedules for medical imaging and keep the high pace of emergency rooms going.
For Hubble’s main cameras to capture high-quality images of stars and galaxies, each of its filters had to block all but a specific range of wavelengths of light. The filters needed to capture the best data possible but also fit on one optical element. A company contracted to construct these filters used its experience on this project to create filters used in paint-matching devices for hardware stores, with multiple wavelengths evaluated by a single lens.

Well guess what
Btw, that idea that privilege makes you morally evil and suffering makes you morally good is just repackaged versions of the Christian concepts of the evils of luxury and the holiness of martyrdom. Hope this helps!
