#shrooms in college

[ucannotkillmeinawaythatmatters]

I just wanna rant for a bit about how ableist the rhetoric around learning languages can be, especially as it relates to american colleges

so as part of my degree, I'm required to take two semesters of an upper level language. issue is, I'm hard of hearing and my college does not offer any type of sign language as an option

obviously trying to learn an AUDIO BASED language as a person who literally can't hear is a fucking challenge. and yeah sure, they have exemptions but I'm "not disabled enough" to qualify

first of all, that's fucking bullshit. a policy that I'm sure was written by abled ppl determining that I'm not disabled enough?? to be exempt from something made really fucking hard due to my disability?? bullshit

when I was a kid I literally had one of those speech language pathologists to help me speak ENGLISH correctly. I used to mispronounce words all the damn time cuz I wasn't hearing what it actually sounded like. certain syllables just aren't picked up by my brain so words like "computer" would get butchered into "come-cue-ter." getting hearing aids in addition to learning from the language lady I had helped with this problem a lot. I don't rly struggle with it anymore now that I'm older.

now that I'm learning Spanish, however, I'm having the exact same problems I had as a baby. this makes sense if you consider that I'm basically a one year old in Spanish knowledge. but in college, I don't get a speech language pathologist to help me understand pronunciations and syllables. and my hearing aids have been fucked up and are too expensive for me to afford replacing them rn. and in college I have to worry about grades and passing the class and shit. I've literally had actual breakdowns crying and sobbing over how much I'm struggling in the classes due to something I literally cannot control

so yes, the second I'm done with this semester, I will be giving up on learning Spanish and any audio based language. it's just really fucking exhausting to hear all the jokes about pathetic monolingual Americans who only know one language.

Just remembered I have an emergency stash of shrooms that’s good for one trip….I know what I’m doing today to cope with the horrors

[wifegideonnav]

tbh when mitski said “you’re my best friend/now i’ve no one to tell/how i lost my best friend”

[bubbleanon]

don't do drugs kids. or do, i can't stop you

[girlboss-enthusiast]

Every now and then I make a brief foray into other social media platforms and it's terrifying. The vibes are off. The posts scream at me. Everything moves too fast. I don't understand the slang. People say horrible things and I can't tell if they're joking. I'm basically this guy

[fauxspirited]

it’s funny bc once upon a time i used to be a LITTLE judgy about people who were stoners. like, full day stoned, can’t function without it, etc… obv bc of how i’ve grown up to now being like “ok maybe not all drugs are bad…”

also like, realizing that some of the stuff ppl use are parts of medications used to treat ppl for anxiety and depression and whatnot is just another layer of it.

idk like, education is important. and exposure is important too but obv not at ages when people are young and stupid and consistently do stupid shit with it.

& also like, there are still actual bad drugs out there so, stay smart, kids.

Shrooms being trendy is so weird because it’s actually supposed to be very spiritual and self healing

tweet 2, from ninah (@ riaessam)

self healing? I SAW RUMPLESTILTSKIN

Shrooms was cool I really didn’t expect it to look like exactly like those trip vids on Instagram

Looking in the mirror was kinda crazy and I tried to avoid but wtv idk everything was like saturated my face was like all wavy and purply like warping around

Oh and We went for a walk to get screamers and that’s when it REALLY started kicking in

Kept seeing like patterns in the trees and it looked like the ground was like a big pattern that’s didn’t change like everything was the same idk patterns everywhere it was quite cool

I find that I’m also more social and socially aware when I’m on shrooms kinda funny

Also just this like inexplicable amount of joy I had I was just like cheesing the whole time bro

Yeah idk don’t do drugs and if you do don’t do em frequently everything is good in moderation fr

This prolly the last time I’ll realistically do shrooms I don’t have any desire to do anything harder than weed I might do em again in the future but it def won’t be frequent

[ucannotkillmeinawaythatmatters]

ik this is a very small issue, but I don't have a green notebook for my science class and I low-key wanna scream. I have a green folder but not a green notebook fuck

why didn't I get a green one, now I have to use red and everything is shitty

[cow-shroom]

Tell me a shroom fact please

a recently-found amber fossil (dating to ~100 million years ago) suggests that dinosaurs ingested psychotropic fungi !!

in this fossil, we see some of the earliest recorded evidence of grass. atop the grass? a fungal parasite. in comparison with our fungi today, this fungus is most similar to ergot - fungi that grow on rye & produce alkaloids. ergot has been used as a medicine, a poison & a hallucinogen by humans for thousand of years.

"there’s no doubt in my mind that it would have been eaten by sauropod dinosaurs, although we can’t know what exact effect it had on them." - george poinar jr, of the oregon state university's college of science.

the small chance that dinosaurs tripped on psychedelics keeps me going, tbh.

Hiiii

I was rereading some of your stories again. And you said prevously that all of the girls are probably in in the queer community and I just thought it'd be really fun to see what type of people would all of the girls date.

I thought of something specificly about Hazel and it'd be really funny to see her dating someone whose kind of like Eddie when he was in his 20s. Like a cool metal head who has their own band and is absolutly a menace. And when thye have like their first official dinner with Hazels' dads, Eddie would mutter something along the lines of like father like daughter to Steve.

Anyway I'd love to hear you take on this. And also thank you so much for this little universe you've built❤️❤️

LOL yeah I definitely think Hazel’s first serious partner ends up turning into a whole circus of a situation because Steve and Eddie ended up being the last to find out. There's always been an inside joke in their family about Steve and Eddie dreading the potential of their daughters dating guys, so Robbie and Moe made a whole game out of intentionally not giving them all the information about Hazel's relationship just to make them sweat.

So when Hazel announces that ‘Riley’ will be coming home with her for Thanksgiving, this conversation between Moe, Robbie, and Steve transpires:

Steve, tiredly: Can one of you just tell me if Riley is a boy or a girl?

Moe: *Wow*

Robbie: Way to perpetuate the gender binary, Pop.

Robbie: What if they aren’t a boy or a girl?

Steve, not falling for her BS for a second: I *know* they’re a boy or a girl because if they weren’t you would have immediately told me their pronouns.

Steve: You’re doing this on purpose to torture me.

For the record, Riley is a girl. Riley has box-dyed red hair and she smells like patchouli and weed and she’s got a bright blue vape pen in the side pocket of her backpack and her entire outfit is two sizes too big all the way down to her shoes.

Riley dropped out of college to try getting a tattoo apprenticeship (hasn't panned out yet but "she's got a plan").

Riley says the second she steps through the doorway, “Fuck, Haze, your house is niiiiice.”

Riley tells a story at the dinner table about how she did shrooms in the woods last weekend.

All the while, Hazel has this dumb, fond smile on her face, and Eddie is horrified, and Steve spends the whole night on the verge of tears from how hard he’s trying not to laugh.

At the end of the night, when Steve and Eddie are alone in the privacy of their bedroom, Eddie is like, “Uh, so that’s gotta end, right?”

“Why?” Steve asks.

“What do you mean why? It’s Hazel, Steve, and–”

“My love,” Steve interrupts, “Do you not see it?"

"See what?"

"She's you. Riley is you when you were that age.”

And Eddie is totally dumbstruck.
