Does anyone else feel shocked and confused when you realise that Limited life came out the same year as secret cause for me limited life and double life are way more connected even though they came out in different years. Secret life feels like it came out on its own year or the same year as wild life and they are literally a year apart! They’re even further apart than secret to limited life but nah bro, limited and double life go hand in hand.

i love truck stops in winter bc i love a little good old fashioned reconnaissance. i’m at a wyoming truck stop eating taco bell with a bunch of random truckers discussing road conditions like we’re in a high fantasy tavern & inn and we’re warning each other about monsters and highway men. everyone talking about where we’re coming from and going to and how bad it’ll be getting there.

THE tallest man i’ve ever seen in real life just stopped me in the hallway by the coin operated laundry apropos of nothing and asked “which direction are you going?” i said east and he said “good” and walked away.

i caught up with him and asked why and he said “west’s no good right now. i just came from there.”

apparently a truck jackknifed and has traffic backed up ten miles but he sounded for all the world like he just found his village raised to the ground by an evil mage’s army

Would you be willing to explain what a 2:1 means? I can tell it’s good, but not whether a 2:1 is better or worse than a 2:2, or how good it is (though it’s clearly amazing for them and the situation).

AuDHD USAmerican here, so I’m following everything but the grading scale

You can look up the conversion to US systems on Google - a lot of websites are out there to explain the equivalency for students from one system transferring to the other, and that will probably give you a cultural touchstone for understanding it. But in a nutshell:

UK degrees, once awarded, are either First Class, Upper Second Class, Lower Second Class, or Third Class. That's a mouthful, though, so from best to worst, they get abbreviated to:

A first

A 2:1 (verbally pronounced 'two one')

A 2:2 (pronounced 'two two')

A third.

The most common award is actually the 2:2. It used to be affectionately nicknamed the Desmond (because Desmond Tutu/two two. Get it? Oh, how we laughed.)

If you look up the actual grade boundaries in terms of percentages, you'll definitely find them weird from an American perspective, but UK degree marking systems are more rigorous in terms of the numbers given - American students famously struggle to get used to it if they study in the UK, because they're so used to needing to get, like, 90% and up, which is nearly unheard of over here. So that's where a website describing the equivalency of US grades would be helpful.

So, when I say Ceri managed to pull off a low 2:1, I mean he got the second highest grade boundary, while thinking it was "probably a pass, maybe a 2:2."

I am endlessly proud of them. I've been bouncing all week

if a post gains more than 20 notes it goes on trial to determine whether it’s problematic or not. then the op is given the death penalty

I had a dream last night that tumblr came up with a pride flag for closeted gays and it was just a light blue flag with a shrimp on it. People would also wear shrimp pins on their lapels for some Reason???

and the vegan gays started Discourse because shrimp deserved more respect

I got the chance to road trip out to the path of totality! My phone camera didn’t do it justice, so I painted what I saw instead 🌞🌚

Here’s the photo I took and the sketch I made with my finger in the notes app while watching it happen 😆
