#in the SAME CAMPUS

[watchyourbuck]

half of my skirt came undone in the middle of my uni campus and a friend just texted me: “campus sighting: bubble but.” A WIN IS A WIN

clearly trying to stop fixating on "productivity" has actually improved my focus

I like to think they all went and got matching jackets, redson tried to run, but they got him anyway lmao

This is how I imagine their study group, all different majors, more gossiping than working.

Red Son's complaining about how one of his lecturers is an idiot

I believe in Wukong and MK being brothers supremacy :D

I feel numb. The nirbhaya case happened 12 years back and nothing has changed since then. There's not a single mention of the RG Kar case in the newspapers. The doctors of that college were carrying out a peaceful protest last night. They were attacked by a mob who destroyed the evidence at the crime scene and vandalised the hospital premises. She was a resident doctor on duty who was raped and murdered. The Dean of the college gave an initial statement saying "what was she doing there in the first place?" She was sleeping in the seminar room because government hospitals don't have adequate infrastructure to provide on-call rooms for their residents. Do you know what the initial statement given to her family was? That she was psychotic and has committed suicide. It was only half a day later that the authorities admitted it was gang rape. And we are expected to remain silent regarding this?

Mother, father, brother, little sister! 

When you read this letter, I will already be dead or close to death. I know what a severe blow my act will be to you, but don't be angry at me. Unfortunately, we are not alone in this world. I am not doing this because I would be tired by life, on the contrary, because I cherish it too much. Hopefully my act will make life better. I know the price of life and I know it is the most precious thing. But I want a lot for you, for everyone, so I have to pay a lot. Do not lose your heart after my sacrifice, tell Jacek to study harder and Marta too. You must never accept injustice, be it in any form, my death will bind you. I am sorry that I will never see you or that, which I loved so much. Please forgive me that I fought with you so much. Do not let them make me a madman. 

Say hi to the boys, the river and the forest.

Jan Zajíc's (3 July 1950-25 February 1969) letter to his parents. Jan self-immolated following Jan Palach in protest of the passivity and loss of hope of the Czechoslovakian nation under communist Soviet rule.

part of the reason i dont want irl friends following me is bc half my posts are about gay sex and DID, part of it is an ocd superstition type of thing (based in truth tho tbh), part of it is i genuinely dont want to annoy them and if i was being annoying on the dash i wouldnt want them to have to put up with it bc we’re friends so they cant unfollow. But aside from all that it is SO nice to have a place to Express Anger abt covid and Nobody taking precautions in a place where it wont hurt my friends’ feelings Bc that wouldnt be helpful or nice but if i dont get my thoughts out of my head and into the world i’ll explode.

alan alda storytime

the full story from one of the screenshots of my previous post.

story begins with my archaeology professor showing a slide of alan alda in the early 2000s holding some mammoth bones and asks the class if anyone recognizes him. i had watched some MASH with my mother when i was little and had also seen the movie The Object of My Affection, so i raised my hand and said it was alan alda. he lit up and said yes, it was, and told the rest of the class he used to be on this old show, and that when we got more into the bioanthro side of things, remind him to 'tell his alan alda story'.

about 2 months later, we are in bioanthro, and i remind him. he gets excited and says he included slides to talk about it.

[rest under cut]

he tells us how he had just moved to a new city, and he had taken a university job in order to get insurance for his new family [which he didnt get but thats neither here or there]. he gets news that his job is going to be working with Scientific American Frontiers, hosted by the one and only Alan Alda. my prof was thrilled, he loves MASH, and while he specifically wouldnt be involved in the process [being a presenter, working with alan, etc] he was allowed to be around incase they needed help.

i dont know the specific episode, or if it can be found anywhere, but the topic was early man and tools, and how there were mammoth bones that specifically had cuts that could only be made with tools, not by teeth from an animal. they had finished filming for the day and just needed B-roll of some lions at the local zoo chewing some bones [part of the experiment], and alan got a call. he asked if he could head out now, because he needed to get back to his hotel now, and the call had been important. the producers said sure, go ahead, and alan asked if someone could give him a ride.

my professor, having the chance to actually spend time with someone he idolized, and being a stupid late 20s-something, volunteered immediately. stupid why? well, i said he'd just moved there. he didnt know where the hell anything was, and he didnt have GPS available to him, he was just really excited. so they get in the car and start driving.

as i said in my previous post, alan alda had about 20 minutes with this random guy, and found out pretty quickly that he was an archaeologist, and the amazing topic of conversation that he picked was the [then new] theory that we developed agriculture specifically to make booze, and that the rest of the stuff was more or less a biproduct. which is pretty on-brand honestly.

after a while, alan catches on to the fact that this guy clearly has no idea where the hell hes going, and that they've been driving in circles around the city for a while now. he [reportedly very politely] said that actually, this here was his stop, and thanked him for the ride. he then most likely called a taxi that actually knew where it was going, and got to his hotel.

turns out the call was about The Aviator! the call was important because he learned it was confirmed he in it and they needed him to get over there.

its not a glamourous story, but its the only story i got. my prof reported he was a funny guy, and despite slightly kidnapping the poor man for a while, he was the picture of kindness and personability. and clearly he likes telling the story and it left an impression, because he took time out of our already-short lecture to tell a class of 20-somethings that had no idea who Alan Alda was about it.

sorry this is so verbose i dont know how to be short lmao

I could go into detail on everything wrong with Blossom Campus but I honestly don't want to give it that much of my time or attention. It was not good, friends. It ends on a "cliffhanger", but I put this in quotation marks because it's technically unfinished but it didn't succeed in making me care enough about what happens next for it to actually be suspenseful. The only compliment I can give it is the kisses (if you want to see them all of the good ones are in ep6), but while the kisses were decent I don't think they were worth going out of your way for. Overall weighing up acting, cinematography, story, color grading, editing, characters, and pacing, this show was not worth a watch.

The one criticism I feel the need to state aloud, because it folds into my worries about BL trends I've been noticing overall this year to date: This is the first Strongberry outing (and they've been making content for well over a decade) that feels devoid of queerness. I don't like it.

I find spiders incredibly fascinating and I love including spider imagery in my art. I’m also fucking terrified of them so whenever I do it ends up looking like this lol.

Books of 2024: GRAVEYARD SHIFT by M. L. Rio.

I really liked IF WE WERE VILLAINS back when it came out, so I was excited for the same author to do Creepy Fucked Up Fungus and Questionable Scientific Ethics: The Insomnia Book.

This was fun! Very short (my copy is only 108 pages), and it takes place over the course of one (1) sleepless night (which, coincidentally, is how I read it), but I enjoyed it for what it was. I've seen some people in reviews wishing it were longer, but I thought we got to know all the characters pretty well for a story that happens in less than 10 hours, and I had a good time.
