The thing about babies is they are almost 100% nature as opposed to nurture.

Your 1 month old sleeps through the night? It was literally nothing you did.

Your 6 month old screams bloody murder if you put them down? You didn't cause that.

Almost none of the baby tricks you see are going to do anything to change your baby. They are who they are. They'll sleep through the night when they're ready. They'll crawl when they're ready. They'll nap independently when they're ready. As long as you aren't actively harming them or denying them food, warmth, love, and time to freely move their bodies you're probably doing everything else just fine.

I wonder why ppl interpret sonic not jumping at the chance to kill an enemy as him giving "second chances" to bad guys who don't deserve it like eggman

found out that rascal's owner took him again while i was out, and he's probably not gonna be back since the semester's almost over. i don't even know if his owner's coming back next semester, if i'll ever see him again. if he'll ever see me again. why do they wait until im not around to do this? why do they never let me say goodbye to him?

is it true that max (well not necessarily him but like, his entourage) flies in supporters and that's why the orange army is so noticeable?? i was listening to a french podcast ("les fous du volant") which is attached to eurosport so it seems more or less legit and they were discussing it in the last episode and i was like :o like, it really took me by surprise but i guess it makes sense from a marketing and branding perspective.

i fear i cannot help you here my love

I just got this as an ad on tumblr and I thought you should see it. (For context, I believe the ad was for some sort of essiential oils you put in your feet).

I am weeping. These poor fellows! Their skulls are so smushed, their proportions are completely out of wack (case and point, these are the first skeletons whose ossicles I can see, also in the wrong place), their ribcages are the wrong way round, left fellow's got too many vertebrae. It's not healthy for a fully grown skeleton to be foot shaped -10000/10 I've just noticed the stretched to fuck clavicles, weeping again.

this is a random question, please feel free to ignore - but I have always appreciated reading your perspective and approach to academia. I'm in my first semester of grad school and struggling with the culture. Maybe it's that I took three years off after undergrad to work before returning to school, maybe it's that I'm in the northeast now (I moved from TX), maybe I'm just out of touch with academic culture now and don't really belong here, but... everyone in my program seems very serious and stressed and has been pretty joyless :( It is an intense program so I get it, everyone is very busy, but it's honestly really bringing me down. I frequently feel like the silliest/goofiest person in the room lol which I don't think is helping anyone take me seriously - but I want to be sociable and enjoy my time here (especially if the workload has to be this intense!). I guess I'm just wondering - do you have any advice for keeping joy while in this kind of academic environment? Is it possible to take your work seriously without taking yourself too seriously???

oh man i feel for you so much, anon!! it is absolutely, one hundred percent possible to take your work seriously without taking yourself too seriously, and i encourage you in the strongest possible terms to keep thinking of it that way and to keep deliberately cultivating that sense of joy and playfulness in your work and in your 'academic persona' in grad school. genuinely loving your work and genuinely looking for ways to enjoy what you're doing will carry you so far and will make your entire human experience SO much better.

HOWEVER!!

institutions can be crazymaking, and academia/grad school in particular is a 'total institution' that is designed to wholly immerse you in its own values, systems, etc. and wholly cut you off from the outside world (ie from different values and systems). academia wants you to believe that everything it chooses to value is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER and everything it chooses not to value (including joy, playfulness, creativity, sociability, etc.) is meaningless. it is very, very hard to resist its cultural messaging if you have no real outside world to compare it to. so the trick to surviving academia with your sense of self intact, i think, is to actively build and sustain meaningful connections to worlds outside of academia. the fact that you worked for several years before going back to school already gives you an advantage over your peers who went straight through from undergrad. you've seen the outside world! you've been an adult outside of academia! i would try to reframe your feeling of "maybe i don't belong here since i took time off" as "it's possible that the institution doesn't want me to feel like i belong here, because i bring a different set of values, a different way of looking at the world, and a different perspective on this kinda joyless culture into what is supposed to function as a closed-off institution."

here is my advice:

within academia: actively look for mentors, grad school peers, and scholarly models who embody that spirit of joy in their work, and to try as best you can to surround yourself with people whose values and ways of being an academic resonate with your own. look for the people who will make you feel like the best, happiest version of yourself, and be as fearless in you can in approaching those people and communicating clearly to them that you want to build a professional relationship or personal friendship with them. be open to looking outside your field, too! you may be in a department that has a strong culture of joylessness, but you can look for interdisciplinary working groups or conferences or grad school socializing opportunities that will put you in touch with other kinds of departmental cultures.

build relationships with people outside of academia -- and look for ways to leverage your skills in nonacademic settings. you'll get to spend quality time with non-academics (ie normal people who aren't wholly immersed in the institution of academia and can give you different ways of understanding your field's culture/norms) and you'll also get to experience the feeling of being a respected, competent professional. in my opinion, much of grad school's emotional power over us comes from its ability to make us feel like we know nothing and have few useful skills. (i could write an entire dissertation on why and how that happens, lol, but i will save it.) the happiest, most grounded people i knew in grad school were people who also did jobs, internships, volunteer gigs, freelance work, etc etc that used their skills but was wholly or mostly disconnected from academia itself. i know people who spent grad school doing their grad work but also dedicating lots of time to writing articles for online magazines, interning at museums, working as academic coaches with high school students, teaching volunteer creative writing classes at a local nonprofit, etc etc. pursuing those activities brought them joy and enriched their academic work, but perhaps most importantly, it gave them a strong sense of themselves as competent, capable adults whose worth didn't derive just from their academic work or their ability to fit into their department's culture.

if you are teaching, build relationships with your students too! cultivating joyful mentoring relationships with students was one of the single best things i did in grad school & after. undergrads usually haven't drunk the "academic work isn't supposed to be fun, it's supposed to be grim and cutthroat" kool-aid yet. they're often very excited about their work/their interests and very grateful for the energy and attention a grad instructor can give to them. and it will make YOU feel better and happier and lighter to feel like you are making a difference in students' college experiences. ooh and i'd also recommend connecting with your college's center for teaching and learning. in my experience academics who are deeply invested in teaching tend to be MUCH more joyful and happy in their lives than the academics who are disconnected from teaching or view it as a tiresome obligation. attend CTL events and conferences, join reading groups, take pedagogy courses if they offer them -- it's a great way to meet people outside your department, and i think chances are good that you will find at least some of your people in those spaces.

lastly: i really encourage you to regularly journal about your perceptions of academic culture AND about your sense of the kind of academic you want to be. i am obviously a huge proponent of reflective writing in ALL situations, but i found it especially useful as a tool for resisting the more damaging norms/expectations of academic culture. writing through my conflicted feelings about academia helped me process my ambivalence and get clarity in my own mind about how i wanted to operate within that world. write about the faculty members or older grad students you really admire/vibe with and what it is about them that makes you feel comfortable and energized. write about the faculty members and peers who make you feel shitty, and try to figure out what it is about those relationships that isn't working for you. write about the burning questions you want to answer and why they fascinate you. write about the joyful, transformative 'aha' moments you experience in your research or in your relationships with students. write about the kind of person & researcher you want to be and the concrete behaviors that will bring you closer to becoming that person. write about situations where it feels like you're being pressured (through explicit or implicit messaging, social cues, etc.) to do your work or go about your academic life in ways that don't sit right with you -- and make a plan for how you want to stay true to the things you care about and believe. write about the kind of future example for younger grad students who enter the program with the same conflicted "is it okay to feel joy in my work? is it okay to not take myself so seriously?" feelings you're feeling right now. all of this reflection will help you understand more clearly what you're up against and how/why this culture is making you feel certain ways. that won't wholly free you from its influence, unfortunately, but it'll 100% loosen the institution's emotional strangehold over you enough to let you do some good thinking about how you want to move through this world.

omfg wait they have SNW dubbed and young Kirk is so good. he sounds like the original actor, even his intonation and tone and everything. I’m impressed (at least in the scene in Pike’s quarters. haven’t watched any other) - kinda enjoyed the voice more than the original too lol

Pike would take a lot to get used to though lol

although now I kind of want to watch the whole show hmmmmmm
