#education in liberal arts

[belle-keys]

And a reminder that higher education cannot be considered truly democratised if students can still be doomed to poverty with multiple or advanced arts and Humanities degrees...

Just thinking of nuwho doctors being unapologetically socialist, absolutely based and sometimes just borderline anarchist

As someone said, the commie doctors are unionizing

these two should consider recruiting David Tennant too (I mean it's only a matter of time before he pops up with one of these)

Black people and women have been overqualified for every position in America since July 3rd, 1776. It is the progress of white people and of men to finally get over their racism and misogyny that is allowing people into those spaces. Remember that.

Casually waiting for the ineviteable "I'm a doctor, not a...." -comments/lines to start appearing in your fics...

Go ahead... We can wait...*checks watch*

Lmaooooo I'm ngl I've already thrown out "I went to school for medicine, not geography" a time or two in the past week or so to excuse the fact that I grew up in the Bay Area bubble and don't know where the fuck Montana is. The trouble with fic in particular is that I have a tendency to try to research the shit out of something if I at least know enough about it to realize that I don't know enough to portray it accurately, so my fics at least are going to have as much accurate information as possible.

But if you're talking to me in real time then you can bet I'm gonna bank on "I'm a doctor, not a historian." :'))))

Hello dear.. Please don't skip my message My name is Mohammed, from the afflicted and destroyed Gaza Strip, where life has become impossible and tragic, and where we see death and pain every moment and every day. Our children suffer from hunger, pain, deprivation and lack of medicine. The war deprived them of playing, school, and their most basic rights. They are now suffering from woes and tragedies. 😭😭 During the war, my wife gave birth to a child and I could not find any milk for him Our conditions are tragic, and we live in a shelter that lacks the minimum requirements for life and is plagued by diseases and epidemics Please help me save my children from the hell of the Gaza Strip and provide them with a decent life 😔 Your assistance, no matter how simple, is enough to ease the burden on us and help us overcome our crisis. Please sympathize with me and donate to me or contribute to sharing the campaign and spreading it widely

It’s a very American thing that a site jammed with “creatives” like tumblr has virtually no value. America ranks everybody by the dollars earned. America is singularly good at planting the seeds of creativity then refusing them the sunlight and water they need to thrive.

I'm trying to write Middlemarch fanfiction but every time I check the actual text to confirm some detail or another I'm confronted by George Eliot's unmatched command of the English language, her fine grasp of character, and her skilful interweaving of political, aesthetic, and interpersonal concerns, and then I'm tormented by my own inadequacy and feel like rage quitting

tumblr is great because you cite your sources but your sources are gifs.

Today at work I tried to talk about how the value of art is not in the product but in the sum of the work that went into it (and therefore AI can't replicate it sufficiently just by answering a prompt and generating i.e. a movie in a not so distant future) and my colleague, who I like very much, almost looked at me with pity in her eyes, because apparently the concept was very avantgarde to her

I do find it so funny that I will graduate college days away from my birthday. Like my birthday is literally in between the end of the semester ("graduation") and commencement

It really will be like a joint graduation & birthday party for me lmao
