i found a text on a really interesting history topic (north korea and cuba´s brief period of third worldism rather than strict soviet alignment) but it´s a book length thesis so i dont wanna read all of it right now

[therosebunpost]

Idea:

The helping Bully!Eddie study trope, but Reader is average in school so they're confused on why he even wants them to help. Hell, he's better then them in some subjects, like math. (They only know that because Eddie talks about the math involved in DND, and how he frustratingly had to explain how he got a math question right to them because he did it all in his head.)

Eddie, thinking he's being so smooth with asking them to help study, only to have the reverse card pulled on him when HE is the one who has to explain a concept to Reader. Sure, he uses this to help bargin for kisses, or more time together, but still he wasn't expecting to be the one playing teacher. He kinda likes it though. Even if he pretends that it's a big burden on him.

[rozecrest]

i think i have learned my creative process and what it takes for me to finish a piece in a way i like enough that i think i could do 15 days of fatt next year and that is exciting. i'm really proud of how my relationship to writing has developed this year... not just for fic stuff but i'm writing all the time for fun for venting to pass the time like i did when i was a kid but more focused and intent now :)

The real measure of an individual’s character isn’t what he portrays to the public but how he treats people in private.

Truly righteous people treat others with respect and dignity when there is no one else around and no social credit to be earned for doing the right thing.

This distinction matters — especially for people who’ve made a career lecturing others on the appropriate way to treat people, especially those perceived as having less power in society.

But when no one was looking and nothing was to be gained, it seems Ibram X. Kendi used his power and privilege as the director of a think tank to exploit and mistreat the people who worked under him as if they were people who are beneath him.

Amid confirmation of layoffs being made at Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research, former and current faculty have spoken out about Kendi’s mismanagement, “exploitation” and enrichment.

“There are a number of ways it got to this point, it started very early on when the university decided to create a center that rested in the hands of one human being, an individual given millions of dollars and so much authority,” stated Spencer Piston, a BU political science professor. 

A Former assistant director of narrative at the center and a BU associate professor of sociology and African American and black diaspora studies, Saida Grundy, also described a lack of structure, leading to her working additional hours that were unreasonable, especially for the pay she was receiving.

“It became very clear after I started that this was exploitative and other faculty experienced the same and worse,” Grundy lamented.

With tens of millions of dollars flowing in from major donors shortly after the center’s founding in 2020 from Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, the Rockefeller Foundation and biotech company Vertex, Grundy also saw the missed opportunity to directly help black students at Boston University. 

“Those donations could have been going to benefit black students.”

Grundy is correct that much of the donation money could have been utilized in objectively more helpful ways to serve the people Kendi claimed to be advocating for. But the line between rhetoric and action was a line that Kendi never had any intentions of crossing.

Kendi used the dogma of antiracism to project a new moral standard at a time when many Americans momentarily questioned their behavior and culpability.

As he demanded that everyone should check their privilege and feel socially accountable for the exploitation of people, he was simultaneously exploiting the emotions of a nation to solidify his nobility status among the upper class in academia.

Kendi’s boutique moral philosophy on historical events and human interaction has only made him notable among the upper class.

Those elites declare racial enlightenment over the naïve majority who prefer to treat people like they’d want to be treated.

The antiracism think tank operated more like an antiracism piggybank with only one man listed as its financial beneficiary.

Kendi’s interests have become clearer as time has gone on: His “research center” was for the benefit of one black person, not black people.

Remember the $90 million windfall Patrisse Cullors and the Black Lives Matter organization scored and their frivolous spending habits with donation money, buying mansions and funneling cash to board and family members?

Activist Shaun King has also repeatedly been accused of raising money for recipients and causes that never saw it.

This is a similarly disappointing realization after tens of millions of dollars have been placed in the hands of an advocate who has shown little regard to produce a return for his bold aspirations.

Kendi had systemic control over his own research center yet used his position to take advantage of the people whom he was leading and continued to reap the academic clout that legitimizes his profiting in over $32,000 a speech.

Kendi suggests that people should become more race-conscious to be better anti-racists, but I believe it’s more important to be elitist-conscious.

We need to be aware of the behavioral patterns and condescending rhetoric of the people who think they know better than us about everything.

If we were all good anti-elitists, we’d ignore the utopian rhetoric of social progressives and anti-racists and focus on their behavior.

This readjustment would help us quickly realize that race is a tool to distract us from noticing they are getting rich from dividing us into categories of human characteristics.

The only remedy to moral elitism is moral anti-elitism: This is how we have an anti-elitist society.

It was never about doing anything useful. It was always akin to buying indulgences from the Catholic Church.

Quickly reaching the point where my fanfics have more hits/kudos than anything I've ever formally published as an academic.

Desi dark acadmic life of a teenager:

Listening to old cheesy bollywood love songs while traveling in auto

Having dozens of weird keuchains hanging to you bag, because you like the sound they make

Forgetting you water bottle at home because your mom forgot to remind you

Evening walks whit earphones on while getting your mother's dress from tailoring shop

Meeting your math teacher on road and remembering how much you hated him

Listening to Kun Faya Kun while writing your book

Sketching a day before your finals because that is your stress buster

Watching sass-bahu serials with mom and grandma and comment how ridiculous it is

Randomly wearing heavy jhumkas and kurti because you want to take mirror selfie

Cooking with your mom in kitchen and gossip about dad's side relatives

Playing Chand Sifarish and imagining someone saying those words to you

Sharing your playlist to that one friends just because your taste matches so well

Crying over your childhood traumas and feeling how strong you are for overcoming them

Learning classical dance and music because I makes you feel like kainaat ki rani

Daydreaming about living in 16th century India and waiting for your aashiq to come meet you

Having a separate Pinterest board for desi aesthetic

Wanting to beacons like those 'devi' that shayars wrote about

Randomly watching SLB movies instead of studying

it was all "Ohh you're so smart you have so much potential" and no "Remembering that i had failed out of french immersion after sitting in a daze for the first 5 years of school and knew so little about math i resorted to writing random numbers on math tests and hoping for the best"

[flustersluts]

if you really want it to be random, when the spawn rates are public, i can use my compsci skills (programming and wearing striped thigh highs and being trans) to make you a nuzlocke encounter generator <3

honestly though??? timer idea is really good

BRO IF U DID THAT I WLD FALL JN LOVE WITH U FOREVER WHAT, I actually tried to do it myself but ur right the encounter rates r rlly hard to find

[dingus-dinglebird]

My body us truly impeccable. It will sleep through 5 of the most annoying alarms you'll ever hear (good enough to wake the people in the next room up) and only wake up after my scheduled online quiz. What a fucking impressive unit it is.

[nurselearn]

It's never too late

I left school age 15, pregnant and with no qualifications. I couldn't return to education as I had Dave to look after. I took my American GED when I was 30. I took my GCSE's when I was 36 and started my degree when I was 46 and graduated before I turned 50.

had a meeting w/ one of the vice deans at our university abt the graduate journal im currently heading and ive seen his cv and list of publications so i was figuratively sweating bullets trying to make a good impression, meanwhile my co editor-in-chief was so cool n casual i was so impressed, then afterwards i mentioned this guy is a vice dean and that i was kind of intimidated by him and my editor goes "wait he's a professor. i never looked him up i thought he was just some random employee"
