Somehow made it to adulthood a while back. I tend to reblog Markiplier and video game stuff, I guess? Once upon a time I was known to write a thing or two...

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.
Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.
The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.
I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

Decided that if no one is going to pay attention to my status messages in Teams saying I'm busy or I'm taking my lunch break, then I might as well start having some fun and get weird with them.
Although setting my status to "On a lunch break, will be done screaming and back by 1:35" feels less weird and more like a cry for help...
#work vent#i get interrupted on my lunch break so often#and i can't go to the break room because PEOPLE are there#who will either want to chat or talk about work#and i just want to eat my sandwich and chips and read and not think for a while pls#not to mention how many times i've seen people walk in behind me on work calls stare for a bit and then walk away#or outright interrupt me for a quick comment or question#(my cubicle has no door and a big open section so someone can stand at the break room door and see the back of my head and my screen)

mercy seems like a long shot here, so my prayer for inauguration day 2025: may they be incompetent. may they just be really bad at implementation. may their egos choke their effectiveness. may they drown themselves week by week with infighting and selfish posturing. may they be easily distracted. may the very governors and senators and agencies and religious leaders that the new administration expects to be friendly force endless stalemates to preserve their own power. may every delay turn into a three ring blame circus so chaotic that no one remembers what they were doing. may the good and necessary parts of government be too boring to draw attention and keep running quietly in the background. may the next four years be full of sound and fury and signify nothing.

Jack is making up lost tumblr time and I love it.
Just don't tell him about the THING. That one very very particular tumblr thing we all totally know about. He'll find out sooner than later.

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:
It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and
Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

Found this on facebook but reposting to SAVE A LIFE.
Or at least some of y’all’s GPAs.
You’re welcome.
#^yep#largely a journal's “prestige” will factor into how a published article is viewed re:tenure#that and how many times it's referenced in other scholarly articles#(which is another reason they'll happily share their work)#but scientists do not get paid for publishing#just as they do not get paid for doing peer review for those same journals (though it could count toward service for tenure)#then the libraries of those authors have to turn around and pay exorbitant amount to have access to those journals#article is open access? authors likely had to pay the publisher for that!#and some journals are now being called out for not doing basic editing#so if you're wondering what they provide other than a named place for scientists to peer review each other and publish#it's pretty much nothing lol

Today's my birthday! So glad it falls right smack-dab in the middle of a three day weekend.
Just calmly eating my cake and not looking at the news at all, because there is nothing to be bothered by. Nothing at all, not during cake time. 🎂
