AU where jason todd goes back to school and gets a phd because while he was describing his multi-step plan to take over gotham and use bruce to kill the joker to talia she just said “oh, so you want to become a useless dropout just like your brother and father? talk about setting a bad example for damian.” which offended jason so much that he immediately re-enrolled to finish high school.

march 21, 2023 - tuesday week 3

tuesday is my busiest day because all of my classes and all of my extracurriculars meet, but i think i've got everything taken care of so i can go to sleep right when i get back to the room!

i did some annotations on the research paper that i'm summarizing for research rotation, and we had a lecture on how to properly do a research proposal. it sounded really daunting but i'm kind of excited to work more on what i think i want to do for the independent research section of the class!

i also transferred my anatomy notes. we finished our first section (basics of animal form and function) yesterday and started our animal nutrition unit! it's a really interesting class, and iirc we're actually starting with wet labs tomorrow!

community college is so funny because half of the teachers are like "For this class you need to use lockdown browser for all quizzes and tests. You need to buy this 70 dollar textbook, and all papers turned in must be in APA format with a title page even if they're only 500 words long. I will not accept late assignments. Also you have a minimum of 4 assignments a week." and the other half are like "you don't need proctoring for the final exam I trust you. here's a download link to a pirated copy of the textbook. as long as your writing is coherent and demonstrates an understanding of the material I literally could not care less what format you use. I can't figure out how canvas works so I'm not giving you due dates, just make sure it's turned in before the grading period ends. your only weekly assignment is a forum post with a minimum of 100 words."

#my favorite teacher so far is still the film history professor I had in my first semester.#he was very old and didn't understand how canvas worked at all and sometimes had trouble opening a video file #but simultaneously he was tech literate enough to recommend we use firefox with an ad blocker #because whenever someone missed class and was like 'where do i go to find the movie' he'd be like 'use an ad blocker and google it'#he said the school made him stop emailing links to free movie sites because people would open them on chrome with no ad block #and there'd be borderline malware on them. like this guy gave me the impression he was like. a veteran movie pirate lol.#that class had barely any assignments. like there wasn't a final exam or anything.#he just wanted us to write a paragraph or so answering a few questions about the movies we watched. it was chill.#and i also learned a lot actually. like i didn't know what a nickelodeon was before then. or the Hays Code.#the movies were genuinely good. i never thought Id be that into old black and white movies or westerns for example but they actually slapped #some of them had really mature themes and i definitely started to understand the people on this website who are like #'if the only media you consume is children's media you should maybe branch out instead of calling steven universe problematic'#because a lot of the movies we watched depicted very 'problematic' things and were able to directly address them because they are for adults #(to clarify I didn't just like kids media before then. i just mean that it introduced me to some older stuff i didn't think I'd like)#(but i ended up liking a lot. it also made me realize that movies made today are kind of shit. which i also already knew)#(but it put it more into perspective because I have more to compare it to)#im rambling now. community college is pretty swag i enjoy it. and i do get along with the teachers who have crazy requirements too lol.

Holy cow Gen V is like The Boys if The Boys was a show that had main characters whose motivations/stakes/development are actually interesting??!?

#the college setting lends itself to the raunchy over-the-top tone of the boys universe much better imo #and when these characters make short sighted emotional and/or inappropriate choices its far less infuriating #a lot of my gripes with the boys is with several long term character arcs so we cant fully compare yet obvs #im not getting into my the boys rant... its very love-hate #on one hand its the best superhero franchise out there w/ its worldbuilding and take on corporate superheroism #on the other hand hughie is the worst character im meant to root for that ive ever encountered & billy's shtick has gotten super old #so im really into this show set in the same interesting universe but without the characters for whom i cannot b asked to be invested in #although i had rose colored glasses during the first season of the boys too so theres plenty of time for gen v to get dumb #am i being biased because I'm very 👀😍🤪 over Jordan? yes yes i am but its also a bias that bends towards objective truth ☝️#dani talks about tv

“But no one actually ‘looks’ through [modern telescopes]. Margaret Huggins lamented the shift from gazing at the heavens to squinting at tiny patches of light. Now we’ve gone much, much further. In today’s astronomy, photons of light from the sky, along with the celestial secrets they contain, are picked up by electronic detectors, converted into digital data and crunched through impossibly complex equations by some of the most powerful computers on the planet. In 2016, bricklayer-turned-astronomer Gary Fildes described visiting Chile’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in his best-selling book An Astronomer’s Tale. Incorporating four mirrors, each 27 feet wide, the VLT collects visible and infrared radiation and can distinguish points in the sky separated by less than a millionth of a degree. Here, at the forefront of today’s attempts to understand the stars, Fildes was struck by the sight of scientists hard at work in control rooms, eyes glued not to their telescopes but to banks of screens: ‘They didn’t look as if they had seen the real sky for days.’”

- The Human Cosmos: Civilization and the Stars by Jo Marchant

#brot posts #astro posting #GOD this puts to words something i really felt #as someone who fell in love with the idea of astronomy as this awe-filled wonder of the vast universe #and then going to college and sitting in a fucking dark classroom at the brink of dawn fucking 8am and doing nothing but MATH !!!!#like - theres no judgment here #very very obviously we need these technologies and math techniques to truly understand astronomy #but like the whole thesis to this book (so far? im thinking) is that like #in doing so - you lose something fundamental #astronomy is one of if not theee oldest sciences known to humanity #but the way it was practiced for millennia upon millennia of human history is so incredibly different from how we practice it now #i got a whole ass Bachelors of Science in Astronomy and never once was i required to actually look at the night sky .#and i dont think this same phenomenon exists in other fields of science #like as time goes on we ofc learn more and theres a certain level of abstraction as you get more separated from the immediate knowledge #afforded by your immediate senses #but the level of abstraction for astronomy is just. not really seen as much or as bad in other fields? imo?#anyway i remember a while ago saying that as i got further through my degree the less magical space felt to me #compared to when i was younger and knew nothing at all #and i said yeah its nice to /know/ things now but i still miss that magic when everything was new exciting and real #but you lose something. that magic. that soul. when your astronomg experience is not actually stargazing #but instead sitting in a room doing math on paper or doing nothing but staring at a computer screen

me before walking around my new university campus: well it won't be too bad. i'm going to this university because it's cheaper anyway.

me after walking around my university campus: i should have paid triple for one of the two smaller colleges closer to my house

#THIS UNIVERSITY CAMPUS IS MASSIVE COMPARED TO THE TINY ASS COMMUNITY COLLEGE I WENT TO BEFORE. AND. I AM SOMEONE WHO GETS LOST FAIRLY EASILY #YOU SEE. MY PREDICAMENT #also all my classes are in one building except for my LAST class of the night which runs until like 8:30PM and it is SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDL #OF CAMPUS. AND A GOOD DISTANCE FROM THE PARKING LOT I PLAN TO PARK AT #so i went out and bought pepper spray. for completely unrelated reasons

Donald Sutherland guest stars as the easy living Willard, a college friend of McGill - and a rare glimpse into his early life - in Man in a Suitcase: Day of Execution (1.3, ITC, 1967)

#fave spotting #donald sutherland #man in a suitcase #1967 #itc #classic tv #day of execution #i don't think it comes up in dialogue but Pixley's bible reveals that the college was specified in the script as that of the University of #Texas; Bradford had attended for a while himself‚ and other references to playing football also fit the real Bradford (who'd been set #for a sporting career until an injury saw him refocus on acting). Sutherland wasn't from Texas of course; a good old Canadian boy #he'd gone to school in Toronto and then moved to London around 1962‚ where he'd been steadily plugging away as brit tv's most successful #(at least in the long term) rentayank. for more on that see other Donald posts in the fave spotting tag; by the time this episode aired Don #was nearing the end of his English residency. he was already netting some notable supporting roles in pretty big movies (The Dirty Dozen #was released in the uk about a week after this episode aired‚ and within a year or so he'd be nailing some of the projects which would #catapult him to true stardom). he's very good here of course‚ as the drunken layabout college friend of McGill who inherited a fortune #from 'daddy' and seems content to spend his days sleeping and nights partying. his involvement in the action of the episode gets a little #murkier in the last act‚ and sets up some really brutal stuff from McGill (he ends up charging Willard $10k to save his life)#also notable is some bloodied face makeup Don wears in that last act‚ having received a beating; MiaS was noted for its increased #violence and bloody fx compared to other itc shows‚ mostly a result of Bradford's own insistence on greater realism and in showing the #result of violence rather than just stage punches and taps on the head. what's unusual is that it was normally Bradford who got bloodied up #perhaps Sutherland's willingness to get all bruised and swollen is indicative of a good working relationship with Bradford?#pixley doesn't comment on it‚ but i think it's quite possible‚ especially as Sutherland was one of the only actors to return for another #episode (one of the few others being Colin Blakely‚ whom Bradford is well known to have been in awe of; it's not beyond the realm of #possibilities that the star had some influence in who was recast for second appearances). but this is conjecture really #just enjoy young Don with his crooked grin and big ears and goofy face. who'd have thunk a future screen icon in 1967?

i will never shut up about how much i hate the college system in the us and the way it’s all about money because i genuinely love learning and i miss being in school so fucking bad but i simply cannot afford the education i want

#also i was always told that there’s no real difference between the education you get at community college vs a university and like…#to an extent i support that like of course there should be no shame in attending community college and i’m grateful that it’s an option #and it depends on the school and the person but in my experience with the schools accessible to me that is just not true #i’ve attended a university as well as three different community colleges and while the university as a whole was just not for me #there was a HUGE difference in quality compared to all of the community colleges in terms of academics alone #i was miserable most of the time at university bc i found it really hard to make friends there and didn’t like living in that town etc #but i did enjoy a lot of my classes and even the ones i didn’t love or find super engaging did have a lot of value for me #whereas every single community college class i’ve taken felt like a complete waste of time and money bc i genuinely got nothing out of them #all of the content felt watered down and literally all of the material was stuff i had already learned in high school or even middle school #and i understand that not everyone learned the same things in k-12 or even got to attend k-12 so those classes can be valuable for others #but my issue is with the classes that are presented as equivalent to specific university classes (same course name and credits etc)#and then the material/coursework is objectively not on the same level at all #it’s especially frustrating bc i had a full merit scholarship at the university i attended so all of those good classes i took were free #and then at community college i paid tuition to learn absolutely nothing #i left that university bc being there was actively harming my mental health and i still think that was valid for me to do #but at the same time i regret it bc i’ve realized i simply cannot get that level of education at a community college #and i can’t afford any other universities (or even to go back to the same one bc that scholarship is only available for hs applicants)#once again i understand everyone comes from different backgrounds and college is a unique experience for everyone whether university or cc #but for me personally university classes were the only ones that i actually got value / learned anything from #and it’s extremely disheartening to actively want to learn and feel like you have no way to do so bc it’s exorbitantly expensive #i also need to acknowledge that i am white and i come from a middle class family and that privilege applies to education as a whole #there are much much worse positions i could be in and i recognize that #this is just a vent post bc as much as i have to be grateful for this situation still fucking sucks #that’s all bye #vent #lj.txt

I feel so overwhelmed and like I have so much stuff to do. so close to being done with the cs class I had to take an incomplete in spring 2023. need a rough draft of a paper I have zero ideas for on Wednesday. in the process of making a gifset for the great comet production I saw last week!

#sooo much coding and my professor is very picky and takes points off for the tiniest things (like leaving small amounts of code commented)#i have to compare something in my life to the hero's journey stuff we read about for my paper but i have zero ideas #i was gonna be dramatic and talk about the depression because there's lots of successes and failures #but we're doing peer review and idk if i feel comfortable sharing that with everyone #i dont want to do peer review. i have a very different academic background than my community college classmates #im not saying that im better than community college students. it's just that I've done 3 years at a top university #so i have a lot more academic experience probably than first or second year community college students #im feeling really stressed as the reinstatement period for returning from a medical leave of absence comes closer

Cynthia Griffin Wolff, acclaimed biographer and longtime MIT professor, dies at 87

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/cynthia-griffin-wolff-acclaimed-biographer-and-longtime-mit-professor-dies-at-87/

Cynthia Griffin Wolff, acclaimed biographer and longtime MIT professor, dies at 87

Cynthia Griffin Wolff, a noted scholar of American literature, passed away on July 25. She was 87.

Wolff joined the humanities faculty at MIT in 1980 and was named the Class of 1922 Professor of Humanities in 1985. She taught in the Literature Section, and later moved to the Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies. Her expertise was in the exploration of 19th and 20th century female American writers. She retired from MIT in 2003.

Wolff was born in Saint Louis, Missouri, on Aug. 20, 1934. She was a graduate of Radcliffe College, attended Harvard Medical School, and in 1965 received her PhD in English at Harvard University. Before her arrival at MIT, she was a tenured professor of English and American literature at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Wolff wrote two major literary biographies. “A Feast of Words: The Triumph of Edith Wharton” was published in 1977. That was followed by the 1986 biography “Emily Dickinson.” Wolff worked for several years to unearth new and original primary sources before even starting the process of writing a first draft. She sought to analyze her subject’s literary oeuvre with a complete understanding of the authors’ historical and personal contexts. She also edited numerous books that brought long-overdue attention to American women writers.

Several years before her retirement, Wolff began composing a third literary biography on writer Willa Cather. Wolff continued work after her retirement but found herself unable to bring it to fruition and eventually put it aside.

“A devoted teacher and an inspired scholar, Cynthia Griffin Wolff cemented her literary legacy worldwide with her highly influential biographies of Edith Wharton and Emily Dickinson,” says Kenneth Manning, the Thomas Meloy Professor of Rhetoric (programs in Writing and Humanistic Studies and Science, Technology, and Society) at MIT who worked with Wolff during her tenure. “I was anticipating the same creative force in her biographical research on Willa Cather.”

Following her retirement, Wolff spent much of her time in South Dennis, Massachusetts, in an early 19th century Cape Colonial she restored. She later moved into the Orchard Cove senior community in Canton, Massachusetts.

Wolff is survived by her sons Patrick and Tobias; Patrick’s wife, Diana; and two grandchildren, Samuel and Athena.

it will never cease to amaze me how a highly political show co-created by a jewish man routinely showed antisemetism, racism, and misogyny as annoying, shitty traits that only total pieces of shit nobody likes would agree with and rightfully gets your ass beat, that people who are Different from you should still be treated with kindness even when they, as individuals, are not great people and you don't totally agree with what they are, that activism should be Active and if you just talk a big game without actually doing anything you're part of the problem, that apathy is actively toxic to the world, and over time has shown over and over again that it is never too late to change your mind and progress with the rest of the world (and that there are legitimate consequences to not doing so).... and yet, SOMEHOW, the end result was a lot of viewers deciding it's Funny to be a piece of shit. that it's cool to not care; that you're actually stupid if you give too much of a shit. to the point where we have to warn teenagers to stay away from it because that's almost definitely what they'll take away from it. to the point that the show's reputation is essentially "That Antisemetic Show That Thinks Both Sides Suck". and no matter what the show does to try and tell its audience hey, you need to care about this, things are getting worse, YOU WILL NEVER ACHIEVE HAPPINESS IF YOU KEEP BEING A PIECE OF SHIT, that reputation never changes. somehow, the racist bastard is the most popular character amongst casual fans, and the most merchandisable one. somehow the gap between casual fans and Fandom is immense, and yet fandom is only ever acknowledged for the amount of gay fanart it produces.

and no matter how much you love it, you have to acknowledge that and act accordingly. it is fucking weird being a south park fan, man.

#south park #it is. SO weird. comparing the actual show v.s. the active fandom v.s. the stereotypical fan.#it's like steven universe in that way - half of y'all did not get the message at all and another fourth of you could be college professors.#it is so hard to explain to people how queer and progressive this fandom is. because The Fans™ are also there.#yknow how there are star trek “fans” who claim it wasn't political until the most recent shows? it's kinda like that.#and then outsiders will be like “well what about this episode” and they don't actually want to discuss #they just wanna make fun of you and call you a bigot #they do not care about the greater Garrison Transition Arc they only care about the transphobic parts #they do not care about the overall narrative of manbearpig they only care that it added to climate denial #they will COMPLETELY ignore every time south park actively told its audience to take on a hard progressive stance #or say that those moments “don't count” because some stuff was made fun of or they didn't Get that one part was a joke.#or they just point to some interview where matt and trey were very clearly being obnoxious on purpose and act like they're 100% serious #idk man it's so frustrating for so many reasons.

Help support Reema's academic career and family

This post will no longer be updated, see here instead.

URGENT: We have 281 hours to get Reema registered in university. Done!!!

My other promotion lists

Updated: Sep 22

Update Sep 20: This campaign is NOT done, Reema is waiting for her campaign manager to raise it to $25,000. A short-term goal is CAD $1,800 for a new laptop (including gfm and banking fees), but this is a projected estimate and I'll have a clearer number when I get more details.

Member(s): @reemash46 (shadowbanned), @reema16 (shadowbanned), @reemagaza (Reema), IG: reema_shurr (confirmed hers, see under cut for proof)

Verification: Operation Olive Branch Masterlist #18

Payment methods: Credit/debit, Paypal through my Kofi (Be warned that Paypal takes a cut. I will post proof of donation within 24h under the 'receipts' tag)

Donation match: $5 CAD (see under cut), $5 CAD

Summary: Reema is an evacuated Palestinian studying pharmacy abroad in Egypt and just paid off her tuition. She needs additional funds to care for herself and her family back home.

Current progress:

CAD $ 15,514 20,051 / 25,000

CAD is weak compared to other common currencies. Your donation can go a long way.

Campaign details:

Reema is the cousin of @mohamedabushaban06 (source). A few days ago, I made an emergency promotion to get Mohammed registered for college abroad here (It's not urgent anymore but he can still use support).

She's a 4th (out of 5) year pharmaceutical student currently studying abroad in Egypt after her school in Gaza was destroyed. Pharmacy school is difficult but she has a high average.

She just fundraised enough to pay her tuition for all her remaining schooling (see fund allocation section) and will start her semester on Sep 21, 2024.

The campaign goal was raised to $25,000 and the additional $5,000 will go towards academic needs and Reema's family back in Palestine.

She needs a new laptop after losing her old one.

Fund allocation:

All the original $20k is for paying off all of Reema's remaining schooling. There was a rush to get her from $15k to $20k to pay off her current semester due to banking complications. Her campaign manager was not in Canada until very recently and could not access the funds already in the campaign.

Even now, the manager can only send $1,500 at a time. At the time of writing this (Sep 22), I'm not sure when Reena can access the $15k and she isn't online often because she has the flu.

MISC:

Sep 10: Donation match $5 CAD

Reema on IG confirms the Tumblr is hers

#palestine #support #contacted me #urgent
