I had tears pouring down my cheeks while I was driving home this morning because I listened to a podcast about the Radium Girls and how hard they fought to hold their employer to account for poisoning them, even though they knew they would die regardless, because they wanted to protect the workers who came after them. Even though their community called them liars and they were in horrible pain, they fought. And then the host started talking about how the Manhattan Project used knowledge gained from the Radium Girls to protect their workers and how the ghosts of those girls and women protected people going forward...
And it made me think of all the ghosts, unnamed and unknown, who in their death protect us: the ghosts of the Titanic, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, the Quebec Bridge, and so many others. Disasters that made us change laws and protect people, not just because they were horrific but because survivors and survivors families demanded that we change; kept screaming and fighting and pushing until someone listened and something was fixed.
What a debt we owe.
#the ghosts that protect us#the radium girls#cautionary tales#not jane austen#i don't know how to tag this#the Quebec Bridge was a Canadian diaster and because of it our engineers wear iron rings on their pinky#to remind them of what messing up can cost

I don't like that the dev community picks on people who are most fluent in Python, when the ChatGPT-using "vibe coders" are right there. At least Python babies are coding. Bully the non-coders instead.
#coding#programming#anyone that doesn't know 'vibe coding' means they asked ChatGPT to write code for them.#Same concept as 'I am a creative bc an LLM regurgitated an output for me'. 'I am an artist bc I told a machine to paint for me.'#programmer#I don't know if people even use that phrase anymore to be honest I feel like it's fallen out of use in favour of engineer or developer#ai bullshit#like. If they hire anyone that actually does know the first thing about coding in favour of a prompt engineer (so-called engineer)#they are going to realise—to costs to the tune of millions—that you can't 'vibe code' your way out of security vulnerabilities. Idiots.#I think we're a good few years out from that since anyone that still has a dev team (i.e. everyone; yes even Salesforce*) realises that#letting a text generator run your business would be MADNESS. That's not gonna happen until the AI snakeoil salesmen manage to gradually#lower everyone's standards of accuracy; security and objectivity. When that happens we're all fucked#(*https://www.salesforceben.com/salesforce-will-hire-no-more-software-engineers-in-2025-says-marc-benioff/#tl;dr salesforce snakeoi— CEO says no more software devs; our AI is sophisticated enough.#Balls it is.)#software engineering#programmer humor#etc etc

im literally so lost. where i live in canada is literally the WORST place for both university tuition prices AND salary. for every single career i find myself interested in, i check and see that you earn the least where i live. ITS SO CONFUSING BC ALL OF CANADA IS SHIT BUT WHERE I LIVE IS THE SHITTIEST!!!
and my parents are refugees so if i pick a job and dont get hella rich off of it ill 1. feel bad for wasting their money (tuition), and 2. feel like ive thrown the opportunity that they gave me away
AND EVERY SINGLE HIGH PAYING JOB IS MEDICAL!!! AND I HATE MEDICAL!!!
i like studying the human body, ESPECIALLY neuroscience, but any job that isnt clinical gets paid significantly less. like is it so bad that i dont want to be all the way up a persons ass or whatever. I JUST WANT TO STARE AT A SCREEN. THATS THE NEUROSCIENCE I WANT.
and i want to be an engineer, i have for a while. BUT TELL ME WHY THE ONLY ACTUALLY HIGH PAYING JOB IN CANADA IS PETROLEUM ENGINEERING. BITCH I AM NOT DIGGING HOLES IN THE GROUND AND EXCAVATING OIL LIKE AMERICA 2.0 BC I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THIS EARTH
i like mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, and aerospace engineering. but out if those 3 options aerospace is the highest paying job AND it’s the one i like the least (FROM THE OPTIONS!!)
i feel kinda trapped where i live. like im so scared im not going to be able to afford to actually live in this country and thats why i absolutely cannot mess up my career choice. HELP!!!
#brother canada is actually so bad i dont understand how cost of living could actually be this high#my parents have talked about moving a LOT and i used to despise the idea but after doing all this researcg#-*research….. im not so against it#engineering#neuroscience#neurology

is kelleran beq/din djarin actually a crackship if they both canonically care deeply about the same person
#i'm just saying if mr beq sensed grogu reaching out but it just took him a while to show up#i think any mandalorian would have Opinions about a guy trekking solo across a dangerous galaxy just to help a foundling#and a jedi teacher of all people would be deeply interested in a guy protecting a youngling at all costs#although i think if beq saw din trying to make that poor lil green bean do electrical engineering then he would bop din appropriately

Out of order (this happens right after the “remember” moment with McCoy) but I love this, I am obsessed with this. Spock finding the radiation pleasant at first, being fascinated by how he can see his bones and veins. Thinking still in terms of “who could despise him?” while reflecting on the things that gave him emotional pleasure, like music and math, and friendship and love.
Returning the Enterprise to her true captain by sacrificing himself.
Meanwhile McCoy and Scott are stuck outside watching him, while Jim is on the bridge not aware yet that the rest of the crew is safe but it’s already too late for Spock.
#Jim thinking they’ve won again only to find the cost of this victory is unimaginably high#Scotty already had to watch his young nephew die as a result of problems in engineering and now Spock!!#McCoy’s just fuckin traumatized now- that’s his FRIEND his rival his mirror image!!#star trek tos#star trek novels#spock#jim kirk#leonard mccoy#montgomery scott#god this just messes me up#the wrath of khan#vonda n mcintyre#lichqueen reads

due to topical demand
(x)
#shitpost#nintendo#monkey island#i mean personally im almost shocked the console itself isnt way more expensive. the game price isnt super surprising either#also as much as i love encouraging piracy. it usually takes a few years for nintendo consoles to get reliable emulators#since reverse engineering them takes ages#unsure what its like with game roms but the newer something is the bigger the risk of getting fucked over#so if youre planning to pirate switch 2 stuff be patient and careful#in theory i dont mind the approach of having fewer games because they cost more. especially since theyve developed better sharing features#in practice i am very broke

I like to think that when the batfamily inevitably runs out of money and jobless Bruce, Tim, and Dick* find themselves in financial need, Steph reveals that she's made thousands of dollars taking odd jobs around Gotham City that we just never saw bc Steph hasn't been in a comic for months. Nobody checked in on her and while they weren't looking she made 6 grand babysitting and playing piano at a local theatre. Bruce has to grovel for enough money to buff out a scratch on the batmobile and Steph is revelling in it. This is the closest she's ever going to get to being a supervillain
*(Cass and Jason don't need money to survive on account of being homeless as kids + Babs funds Cass' basic needs and Damian is on his mom's payroll, same w/ duke even if it's obvs not al ghul money)
#ramblings of a lunatic#dc comics#dc#stephanie brown#bruce wayne#tim drake#dick grayson#batfamily#...#wayne family adventures#that seems like something that could happen over there lmao#i already said babysitting and playing piano at a local theatre (NEVER FORGET STEPH CANONICALLY TOOK UP PIANO AGAIN. BATGIRLS 18)#but i can also picture her doing other odd jobs#harper teaches her some basic electrical engineering tips and Steph takes a couple jobs with her for some extra cash#in batgirl 2009 she was working off her tuition by working at her school library so maybe she can do something like that too as well#i like to imagine that off screen steph will work a job for a week then get paid then get fired bc she lets her vigilante life take over#meanwhile Tim's been a dilettant on his houseboat and dick has the leftovers of what alfred gave to him which he gave to charity(?)#and bruce has just been funnelling his last remaining dollars into batman until one day his bat bank account hits negative $50#bruce has been begrudgingly letting Talia pay his rent and groceries for the past few months (damian had to cooerce him into it)#anyway i wish they did more w broke Batman. not that bruce cant survive w/o money but hes usually like. in the wilderness in those scenarios#not a city that i just KNOW has an incredibly fucked up economic situation. i bet it costs $1.95 for bottled water in gotham#anyway. bad headcanons <3

percy are you seriously gonna fall for the same trick that you just pulled on anna?? it's been like ten minutes.
#SHE IS YOUR DARK REFLECTION! SHE IS YOUR NARRATIVE FOIL ABOUT REVENGE AND INNOVATION AT ALL COSTS!#this moron can't see narrative parallels‚ this is what you get for being a stem freak who only studies engineering#the legend of vox machina#dr anna ripley#percy de rolo#percival fredrickstein von musel klossowski de rolo iii#aj watches vox machina#aj watches

i feel like my femininity is shallow sometimes. like i love feminine things and the way i look does reflect that. but i don't know how to style my hair besides just blow drying and brushing it. I don't know how to do makeup that requires any actual skill like eyeshadow. I don't know how to style good outfits besides just wearing items i find cute. i don't know anything about hair care or skin care. like yes i am feminine but only at the most basic rudimentary way
#the thing is that i love femininity and being feminine but sometimes i encounter problems i can't fix because i have 0 knowledge#and then i ask someone who actually knows stuff and she's like “oh it's simple you just have to xyz”#like how did you even know that#who taught you things your older sister or your glamorous mum?#this brain fart of a rant came from the fact that i woke up with my face framing layers looking weird#and making me look ugly ash#amd damming myself for not knowing my way around an hair iron nc it would literally save my look if i did#this reminds me of my man's car when we started dating for the first time weirdly enough#it was a gorgeous luxury car#an audi A8#that looked beautiful on the outside#but on the inside it needed several repairs that eould cost thousands of euro and needed an oil change like yesterday lol#and had to be sprayed with some spray that causes a mini fire in the engine because it couldn't start up on it's own#(omg i miss that car sm she's the most girl failure in the world i loved her 😭)#all this to say that is me#i'm the audi A8 who's beautiful on the outisde but is being held together with wire and a flammable spray lol#mine

this is not a map. bioware pls. i'm a fun person i swear, and i think this is just....super.
but this is not a map.
this is a placemat that you and your family restlessly color with map pencils while you are waiting for your overpriced druffalo burger at a tourist trap along the Imperial Highway.
#a highway which despite its incredible feat of engineering and at the cost of many lives didn't warrant being included ON . a. FUcKinG. Map?#dragon age#datv#perhaps i will regret putting this in the tag#and perhaps the corporate video game overlords deserve a little ribbing for not including the literal game in ANY of the preorder fancy shi

I firmly believe that the solution to 99% of the problems we're facing as a society right now is Building Community
And the best part of this solution? Everyone can participate to the extent they are able/willing and it doesn't need to reach a critical mass to make a significant difference. Every community that is built, whether it's between two people or an entire town, is beneficial to all of us.
You don't need special skills to do it, you don't need to know how to organize or even be good at socializing! It can be as simple as shoveling snow from your neighbours sidewalk even if you never speak to them.
We all have skills we're good ar and enjoy, we all have resources others lack. I don't have much money but I've got endless time, for example, so a friend drops her dog off with me a couple days a week. I don't charge her because I benefit in other ways but also because it helps build community. Not asking for cash allows her to pay using resources she has more of, either to me directly (she drives me home from my hospital appointments each monday), and indirectly by helping others which further builds our community in a pay it forward sort of way.
Community uses Good Will and Favours as currency instead of money and it's the only thing that can break the back of capitalism.
Community can take a lot of up front investment to get started, and not every person you invest in will add value, but in the long run your total return investment will be more than returned to you.
#we were thinking of putting an addition onto the house for me to live in#which may habe required an engineer to sign off on#running thousands to more than ten thousand dollars in cost#but some mental health advice and the loan of my 3d printer#and occasional loan of my vehicle#meant I wouldn't have had to pay a cent for it#(we wound up going a different route but still the offer was made!)#just one example of many#offer freely of what you have in abundance#whether it be time or energy#strength or intelligence#or even money if that happens to be the resource you are most blessed with#this is something that literally every person can do#and every person that does it makes a significant positive change to the world around them#this is how we beat back the darkness#this is how we win against the corporations
