[vincevenus666]

Mista’s 1st time going on a SWF business trip with his BFF, Giorno!!!🐞🔫🖤 Mista gets to meet his best buddy’s colleague, a gay american SWF researcher that works on the DIO case- all of this TOTALLY wasn’t orchestrated by Giorno to see if they have feelings for eachother.

"[Elizabeth Woodville's] piety as queen seems to have been broadly conventional for a fifteenth-century royal, encompassing pilgrimages, membership of various fraternities, a particular devotion to her name saint, notable generosity to the Carthusians, and the foundation of a chantry at Westminster after her son was born there. ['On other occasions she supported planned religious foundations in London, […] made generous gifts to Eton College, and petitioned the pope to extend the circumstances in which indulgences could be acquired by observing the feast of the Visitation']. One possible indicator of a more personal, and more sophisticated, thread in her piety is a book of Hours of the Guardian Angel which Sutton and Visser-Fuchs have argued was commissioned for her, very possibly at her request."

No fandom art today (still busy with academics) but have this eye I drew while I was bored while the teacher is teaching bioinformatics (if I see the stupid website again my stupid brain is going to explode<3)

theory of computation/computability and complexity/whatever your institution calls it is the universal computer science hazing ritual.

It makes me kinda sad that my undergrad thesis is only 8 months, especially since the project has a 1 year timeline and we’re only just about to start it. I’m going to do and learn a lot from it in those 8 months of course, I already have after just two and all I’ve done is background research, but I dunno it’s just. Sad that a project I’m going to pour my heart into has to end without me.

I had the same problem with my summer research and I’m really glad that I got an extra month to actually finish up what I was doing for it but I sunk so much time and energy and passion into that research and now it’s just. Done. And I feel like a Master’s is going to be the same, especially since I could be doing an accelerated, 1 year MSc. Like that’s. Nothing. In research terms. Now, the whole point of doing the 1 year program is that I do it in my undergrad thesis lab so I can kinda skip past the bulk of the training and orientation stuff, so it will be a fairly solid 1 year of research, but it would in no way start a project and honestly, I don’t know that it would end one either.

I dunno I just don’t like leaving things unfinished and it makes me very sad to know that I have to let the research I do go so that someone else can finish it while I move on to something else. I do wish I got to see some of these things through to the end more. I guess this is what parenting feels like??

You know, I went into the anime adaptation of the Swordsmith Village Arc knowing it just wasn't going to have the same punch as previous arcs due to the pacing (primarily being a vehicle for flashbacks as opposed to slowly building tension), lack of impactful villains (Hantengu's back story simply does not have the impact or emotional draw of Rui or the Shabana siblings, and Gyokko is... he's just Gyokko), and incomplete-feeling character arcs (this is all set-up for pay-off on Mitsuri, Muichiro, and Genya, whereas Uzui & Rengoku had more satisfying arcs contained within single story arcs).

I knew this, and despite not totally sticking the landing with filler, I think Ufotable did a fine job with the material they had to work with.

I do have one criticism, though.

IT NEEDED MORE SWORDS.

Swords!!! Are!!!!! Beautiful!!!!! And!!!!!! The craftsmen!!!!!!! Are!!!! Amazing!!!!!!!!!! And!! Nichirinto!!! Are!!! So!!!! Special!!!!!!

GIVE US MORE SWORD LORE, GOTOUGE!!!!!! GIVE ME ALL YOUR TAISHO SECRETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i really and truly believe that there are only two genuine human superpowers, both of which can be actively cultivated:

the ability to find anything interesting, ie the ability to reframe and reflect on any situation or encounter, even/especially negative or boring ones, so as to make what is happening to you interesting, engaging, and personally meaningful to your human experience. this habit of mind is mostly curiosity but it's also woven through with psychological flexibility, especially the ability to regulate your own emotional reactions so that you can respond to challenging or tedious situations in more thoughtful and values-aligned ways that develop your sense of self instead of making you feel trapped or bored or fragmented

the ability to teach yourself new things. idk maybe as a teacher i am biased but i really believe that the single most transformative gift you can give any human being is a deep understanding of how people learn and improve at things. what is more hopeful, more inspiring, or more life-affirming than the realization that you can learn new things at any age, and that the new things you learn (plus the joyful process of learning itself!) can utterly transform the way you experience the world and understand yourself? what is more amazing or incredible than the realization that learning things is not a mysterious & passive process that happens to you but a reasonably consistent set of steps and tools that you can learn how to master and apply to virtually any skill or domain of human knowledge? the superpower of being able to learn/improve at anything you set your mind to… but also the superpower inherent in that quiet unwavering certainty that even if you feel stuck at various points in your life, you have within yourself the capacity to get unstuck through learning and changing and growing and experiencing new things. wowowowowowowow!!!!! what an extraordinary gift!!!!

the way tumblr talks about medicine makes me wonder how many of us here actually have critical thinking skills

I saw a post that was like "you're not researching, you're just looking shit up" and I want to let yall know that the most dedicated researchers writing thousands of papers in is still only "looking shit up" for the majority of those papers.

Not everything requires you to go outside and measure the dirt on a specific time and day. Sometimes scientists already have that data and just haven't put it together yet, thats what researchers often use. And they do most of it in front of a computer. Google Scholar is a thing for a reason.
