I fink they are trying to kill me at this job

"If rest becomes a form of recovery from work, as is the case today, it loses its specific ontological value. It no longer represents an independent, higher form of existence and degenerates into a derivative of work. Today's compulsion of production perpetuates work and thus eliminates that sacred silence. Life becomes entirely profane, desecrated."

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

Something I realized (which was obvious to me subconsciously) is that... The family that vehemently didn't accept me when I first came out but now do accept me are still the same family that I am most unwilling to be open about things I feel protective over.

I remember that my dad reacted so poorly, not to my coming out, but to my transition specifically that my therapist was the one to ask if I wanted to put it on my file that I wanted nothing to ever be shared with him about my health after I broke down multiple times due to my anxiety that I would never transition. While there are and were protections for me, I was incredibly fearful at the time because I was a minor, and I was so worried that he would have prevented my transition that I couldn't have said for certain what (if any) lengths he would have gone to to prevent that.

He's grown a lot as a person, and made some commendable strides. But he didn't find out from me when I medically transitioned the second I turned eighteen, and I think that's among the things that truly made him realize the scope of the issue.

I'm not here to guilt trip parents, guardians, or other members responsible for the care of the children or teens or young adults in their care.... but this is a cautionary tale. You aren't saving the people in your care when you do this, you simply reinforce an idea that you will never care for them, never want them as they are, would rather them be shoved away.

When you give people reasons to be secretive, they will behave secretively. When you give people reasons to doubt their safety around you, they will become sneaky, defensive, and withdrawn. When you give people reasons to doubt that you value their life, they will believe that you don't care if they live or not.

We are never making it out of the patriarchy.

we shouldve gotten in-universe showfall tumbler we should've gotten a hetch jacket re-release we should've gotten showfall enamel pins like ceo's we should've gotten evil sneeg's hat (sneegs hat but with cartoonish drawn on slime) we should have gotten basic ass merch clothes but with the showfall logo WE SHOULDVE GOTTEN A SQUIGGLES PLUSHIE

obv the movie is titled zoey 102 but the most annoying thing about it was that we didn't even really get to see quinn and logan in their relationship. like the focus was almost always on their conflicts with regards to the marriage but the first real moment between them where it wasn't about that conflict was when they had their first dance and quinn teased him about the oyster shuckers. and it was such a small moment but i loved it and i want more insight into their daily life and the everyday teasing and uplifting and idk like again obv the title is zoey 102 but i don't think most people would disagree that it fully being a movie about quinn and logan would have been so much better. like the zoey and chase plot took up so much unnecessary space and their sudden bout of closure didn't even make sense bc they had one conversation prior to it after over a decade of mutual non-communication so why was any of this more important than quinn and logan. esp logan tbh. like quinn kind of had the liberty of a few moments to herself where she expressed her worldview in her own way but logan had close to none up until the proposal and yes i do love that he's quinn's number one supporter but i also wanted to know what that was like outside of the context of the wedding if that makes sense. like how he exists in their day to day relationship. there were glimpses of that in the final wedding sequence but i wanted so much more and i know the idea of a spin-off is so delusional at this point but the cast do apparently want to do it and i for one would love an exclusively quinn and logan spin-off where zoey and chase can be side characters ig 🙄 so.. why not!

Cut it off the loom today. It’s way too fucking short to be of any real use lol I’ll still give it to the person I was going to give it to because she’ll think it’s cool to have even if it isn’t very useful.

[toastsnaffler]

taking an extra half an amfexa before I leave work bc [redacted] (popular artist) is playing my city tn and I'll need it to cope with how awful the traffics gonna be when I'm on the bus 💀

[danganronpa96]

So... me and Rexx were just chatting about DR96 until the conversation turned to me saying "y'know technically Monotora is the only character we can make merch of because they're our original character", which then lead to the idea of a Monotora plush. So, just out of curiosity:

sorry for reblogging fugly trends from 2012 it's for my enrichment

well it finally happened lads i got in another argument abt lgbt rights with my mom and ended up coming out as bisexual happy pride LMAO

The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics

Post #9 on Physics and Astronomy, 06/11/23

The Nobel Prize. Arguably one of the highest achievements someone could attain. This year, three laureates won the Nobel Prize for their work in attoseconds. Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L’Huiller found a way to create extraordinarily small pulses of light that can be used to measure the processes in which electrons move. 

Your first question may be: what actually is an attosecond? We all know that there are prefixes to seconds to measure increasing or decreasing magnitudes, i.e. milliseconds, nanoseconds, etc. Attoseconds, however, in comparison, are so small that there are as many in one second as there have been seconds since the dawn of the universe. 

Before this, a femtosecond was regarded as the limit for the shortest pulse of light we could produce. For reference, there are 1,000,000,000,000,000 femtoseconds in one second. One femtosecond is tiny as-is, and there are 1,000 attoseconds within one femtosecond. 

The reason why this work is so pivotal is because it enables for the investigation of processes that were previously imperceptible, the first one that comes to mind being the mechanisms of electrons. 

For us, it is important to understand how electrons work, after all, a lot of daily appliances are electrical. This Nobel Prize work opens those doors. Another good example is the function of microprocessors. If they worked based on attoseconds, they could process information a billion times faster. 

This, currently, is out of reach, but scientists hope to be able to manipulate, or control, electron motion for various reasons, one being for electronics, like aforementioned. 

All three of the Nobel laureates had held the record for the shortest pulse of light at one point. Agostini’s team, in 2001, flashed a pulse lasting only 250 attoseconds. This was shortly beaten by L’Huillier in 2003, with 170 attoseconds. Krausz beat this in 2008 with a pulse lasting 80 attoseconds. The current record, achieved by Hans Jakob Woerner, stands in the Guinness World Records at an astonishing 43 attoseconds.

Who do you think will win the next Nobel Prize?
