Proud to say I’m at a place where I’m very ambitious w my goals, but still very content w where I currently am. No matter my financial or academic or just any personal aspirations at all, I’m so in love w my life as it is and realize that it will be no objectively better when I do attain all the tangible things I want to attain. Legitimately so happy to just be here, surrounded by love and books and privileged to be studying and gaining knowledge. At the end of the day this really is all that matters to me. And this is a feeling no amount of money can buy

can you believe that 10 years ago today fall out boy did the unbelievable. they did what bands can normally never do, at least not successfully, and absolutely not as successfully as they did. 10 years ago today fall out boy came off of their break, they came off of their hiatus and came back together with an entirely new attitude, new music, a new spring in their step and even more heart and passion and determination for what they were doing- making music that They loved for the people that needed it. they were so unsure, they didn't know if people would show up, if people still cared about fall out boy. they didn't know if this new album, this comeback album, would really be their last one- what if they did this, and no one cared? but 10 years ago today they announced that they were back, and got to see Just how many people cared. So Many people cared So Much that fall out boy was back in an invigorated, modern, Happy form. their shot in the dark comeback album, full of every ounce of passion and care they could possibly infuse into it in it, hit number one. sold thousands in its first week. was certified platinum. in those ten years? they've had two more number one albums, countless successful tours, a grammy nomination. and what about exactly 10 years later? they're selling out stadiums. releasing a highly anticipated eighth studio album. making music still infused with every ounce of passion and care that they could possibly infuse in it. for themselves, for us. because they still care, and we have proved that we do too. like a phoenix they rose from the ashes and are still rising!! we don't know when to quit, and they don't either 🥺

Puppet prince formal dress WIP

I know, I know. I have like 5 or 6 WIP I'm working on. And I don't know when I'll have them done but I'm a mom and a wife, I'm a bit busy so I just post what I got goin' on at the moment since my free time is limited.

I still appreciate all your support. I really didn't think people were going to like my art when I first started posting. Now I have so much more confidence and you guys encouraged me to keep drawing! And I already see improvement in my skill! Thank you!

Much love, friends.❤️

The crisis of the last year with student protests has made even the richest institutions aware of how much of their presumed wealth can be yanked away from them by a donor class who are increasingly inclined to exert their influence and authority in openly oligarchic ways. The obsession with safety—and the contradictions of that obsession—is as much about financial management as anything else. But that also is a wider sociocultural formation: the American upper middle-class is generally an asset class now who think about safety in the same way as universities both because all institutions with asset-based wealth have to and because they personally have to safeguard their assets in the same fashion, and face some of the same risks from liability exposure. [. . .] Moving away from the caretaker era can’t just be a matter of exposing students to risk and dismantling systems that make safety the mandatory product of an intrusive regime of surveillance and correction. If the people in charge inside the university and outside of it aren’t equally exposed to the natural consequences of their actions and decisions, all this means is forcefully communicating to students—or perhaps all young people—their relative powerlessness and vulnerability. It means deciding that the lesson you really want to teach is that it’s bad to be powerless and thus you should strive in life for power and wealth in order to be beyond consequences. Arguably, if the caretaker era and the bystander era were both aligned with a wider social ideology that was broadly shared across a generation, then this in fact the new ethos of our time—that there is no safety but in power, and that where power believes people are not being sufficiently punished for the things that power disdains, it will find a way to make consequences where there have been none.

bleak essay that nonetheless collects a lot of idle thoughts i've had in one place & puts them together with more coherence than i've ever managed

A Photographic Journey into the Sarah P. Duke Gardens and Duke Chapel (Durham, NC ¬ 22/08/24)

This week, I'm on vacation. And I'll do whatever I damn well please.

So I sauntered into the beautiful Sarah P. Duke Gardens.

I was on a walking journey to get to Duke Chapel, at Duke University.

And I was just OVERCOME by the greenstone beauty of this garden.

Let me tell ya Duke students, you're lucky to study here. Study well.

Overheated, these gardens became my maze-like prison until...

I reached Duke campus, and the buildings began to look like castles.

And there she was, Duke Chapel. I went inside and...

Oh, oh my. The resplendence... I've been in many chapels.

This one was my very favorite chapel so far, so expansive.

I can't help but feel changed after a two hour garden excursion.

This was a journey worth going on, I would go again, and again.

Don't judge me. I'm on vacation.

I’m happy for the little life I built for myself

More or less done rewatched The Good Place (saving the last episode for later cuz I know it’s gonna make me cry lmao) and it’s occurring to me. Does Jason really become a better person. Like they constantly talk about how the four of them are examples of people being able to change, and the other three have very obvious improvements but?? How exactly does Jason???

Like from a Watsonian perspective. I’m not asking if WE see him get a character arc. In the eyes of the system, what exactly landed him in the Bad Place, and did that change at all? Cuz it seems to me it was all the crime, but he constantly references that positively in the whole last season, he doesn’t view it as a negative. The character arc we see is more about his emotional intelligence, but surely he wasn’t sent to the Bad Place for being stupid??

It makes sense he does get to the Good Place in the end. Saving every human ever from eternal torture outweighs whatever flaws he has. I’m just saying, prior to that, what about him improved

gang i have to share this P. G. Wodehouse quote with you all because ever since I found it I can't stop thinking about it. it's from a letter he wrote when he was 78 years old to his friend Guy Bolton (many thanks to P. G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters)

I have been on the sick list myself, but am better now. Inflamed bladder or chill on the bladder or something, the symptoms being agony when I passed water, as the expression is. It brought back the brave old days when I used to get clap.

he really said "yeah the pain from my bladder issue reminds of the days when I used to have so much sex I repeatedly got venereal disease"
