I'm only halfway though Hbomberguy's new video and I dont know if this is a universal experience but my main horrified takeaway from hbomb's plagiarism video so far is that one of my highschools TAUGHT AN ENTIRE CLASS OF 13 YEAR OLDS TO PLAGIARISE. LIKE, ON PURPOSE.

I ended up moving to a much better highschool, but my first highschool essentially taught us to "write" essays by reading what someone else had written and then write what they said again but putting it "into your own words". Which in practice was teaching us to change, for example, "the works of Shakespeare were regarded by many as the first popular art form" to "Shakespeare's plays have been said by some to be the first example of popular media". One teacher actually told us that the process of writing an essay was "saying what the people you've researched have said, in a way where it sounds like you said it".

Like. The tactics that actual plagiarists use to hide the fact that they were stealing. An actual teacher tried to teach me to do that.

#hbomberguy #im so glad i left that school early the next year. it definitely would have gotten worse.#i literally didnt learn what a bibliography was until grade 9 because of how shit my first highschool was.#at the same time if a student wrote a paper that was 'too good' even if it was orginal theyd accuse them of stealing without proof #like i wrote a completely original paper and got the note 'this is very good - did you write it all yourself?'#fuck you man. yes i did. despite you trying to teach me to do the opposite #they accused me of getting my parents to write it for me. i had to show them everything i researched and my dad lost it at them #this was also the same school where they took every kid with a disability out of maths regardless of if they were good at maths or not #and taught them shapes like they were fucking three years old #i remember hanging out in the maths with all the other autistic kids and prentending to have never seen a triangle before for a joke #and while thats really bad and abelist. the non-disabled kids were still being taught addition and division like they were 8 and not 12 #the whole thing was a massive fuck up shit fest. it took the year 7 maths teacher leaving for us to all get the same maths class #and we STILL werent being taught to an age appropriate level because we missed so much grade 7 maths it had to be caught up in grade 8 #i would burn it down but its not a highschool anymore lol

#i dropped my no good very bad class 😘#i mean it wasnt bad. i liked what i was learning abt but i was spending way too much time on it when i should b doing research #so Hurrah for being sensible #i still feel like a learned things about how to read papers from my short time there and i also learned how to give myself sleep paralysis #so that's fun. all i have to do is work on something stressful in the middle of the night and then try to go back to sleep lol #its always lights coming on when theres supposed to b no one but me here and invisible hands touching me and pulling me around #so thats fun. still feel like garbage tho #i feel like a quitter >:-[ and i have an exam looming that im not ready for #and everytime i talk to someone whos all abt teaching i feel like a horrible teacher #bc im like the worst at positive feedback. im all functional responses and instead of being like: how can i do better to help im sitting #there like what if i just collapsed right here and perished. what then? then i woudlnt have to deal with teaching lol #ugh. im still tried #unrelated

cant go too far from tumblr its the only website that isnt horrible to people with npd

#it always drives me up a wall i dont have npd or any pds myself but like #idk people cant help the mental health issues they have?? pds are from my understanding genetic or born from childhood abuse #ppl cant help it! npd is often a result of a child's brain trying to cope with neglect for fucks sake #i remember when i was still a psych major i did a research paper for some class abt npd and how it affects personal relationships #and when i tried to leave my database-based sources and just google shit oh my god. 500 how to spot narcissists in your life articles #its crazy to me. yea im sure some ppl w npd are shitty and abusive but ppl w/o npd are also shitty n abusive what gives #we cant be taking 1 single thing abt a person and going yep thats making you a ticking time bomb. whatta hell #one of my good friends has bpd and shes great. bcus mental health issues dont determine if youre shitty and abusive or not #it actually pisses me the hell off

Only a couple of months later, I’ve finally started trying to sort through some of theses pictures I took using these fabulous paper dolls made for me by @cutestkilla!!!

This whole thing was for an unpublished portion of one of my WIPs in which Penelope and Baz are kinda-sorta tricked into going to Wisconsin instead of California, and where they meet a new friend who tells them about how his family’s annual trips to The House on the Rock were his introduction to the world of magic, and he introduces them to many of his friends therein.

I really didn’t take much time to find like the cream of the crop or anything, I honestly just wanted to get some of these out there 😅

(It was actually... so hard to choose which pictures to post. If I didn’t know better, I’d say that this was the first time I had ever used a camera in my life---None of the pictures are great, but there were kind of a lot of them...)

This was so much fun! Someday I will take pictures with the Halloween costumes that @cutestkilla also made for them, and one day I’ll maybe even get around to writing the House on the Rock portion of that fic! Possibly in time for Halloween 2023! 😆 We will see...

Penny near a giant carousel

Fuzzy Simon, giving us a better view of the giant carousel

Fuzzy Baz, also by the carousel

Can’t find any of them with the actual automaton orchestras, but there’s the sign...

Baz and Simon have to share a bed, obviously.

This might be my favorite of the pictures

Look at that guy! Such a fun dude

Gotta get the snacks in

IDK, just seemed right

Infinity room, hell yeah!

The fate’s confirm Penny’s lovability

This used to be another snack place, but now it’s just a big friggin’ pointless room full of tables and chairs...

Penny’s fortune

Baz’s fortune

Simon’s fortune

Shepard’s fortune

That’s all I think, I know it’s not much, but I am... quite sleepy. I assume that I will wake up in the morning remembering this post as a fever dream and being very confused by the choices I’ve made here.

cons of going to a “good schoolTM”: insane workload, unbearable classmates, next to no support when you have any kind of extenuating circumstances Including literal hospitalization, etc

pros of going to a “good schoolTM”: the 9-5 lifestyle is genuinely a major improvement

#taylor.txt #the extenuating circumstances point was not me btw. i know someone who had his degree delayed an entire year because of two weeks in psych #we’re in a co-op program or else maybe it wouldve just been one semester but. lol #i hate it here…i hate it #but hey…at least i have the world’s shittiest health insurance!#some of my classmates say they dont feel like working full-time is easier than going to school full-time but it so is #for me. anyway. even when i fumbled my time management bad on the field and make no mistake i was incredibly busy plus i chose a field #notorious for Unpaid Overtime and Taking Your Work Home. even then. it was still easier than this #i would never do undergrad again. i loved everything i learned. i took interesting and awesome classes #but i would never ever do it again. miserable overworked spent most of it friendless until i got on the field #i have a friend who keeps being like idk how you did 4 physics classes this sem and im like girl we are education students…thats an average #semester for a physics major. how must THEY feel #also i have to say just you know. generally. ive worked full-time while living with my parents #AND while living alone. and 50 hours a week was incredibly manageable in the former arrangement. i even wrote and edited an entire novel #in the beginning stages of a pandemic while working 50 hours a week of retail and fast food hell. 40 hours full-time with weekends off #while living alone though? thats hard. i still managed to go to the gym almost every day #currently? i cant get out of bed in the morning. i am putting in 12 hour days and then goinng to bed unable to sleep because im so stressed #i have dreams about school. tangentially theres a really good marxist poem i read last year about this phenomenon in workers #ANYWAY. i have just 8 more days 4 exams 1 research paper and video project #i think i can pass and then thats it. my next semester is hell but just because scheduling the actual classes will be easy #and then i get to go back on the field and actually want to wake up every day. lol #and 8 days from now i will have my christmas shopping done and my apartment will be clean and i will be a fanfic writing machine #also my friends and i booked a demolition room so im sure that will be beneficial kfldjfldndks

I occasionally make posts about history stuff and whatever grabs hold of my little bastard brain (as soon as I get one week without a major assignment due I'll make a new one, we're just at that fun part of the semester), so if anyone has ideas for fun stuff I'd gladly take them��🏻👈🏻

And if you're new here and want to read about the history of sheet ghosts or queer saints it's under the #gay history time tag

#gay thoughts #gay history time #i do have a list of queer saints im gonna do stuff on #plus one of my assignments due soon is about ai and ethics and im debating making a post on that #because i have Opinions and ive spent so much time on it #im also working on skmething about abortion laws for a different class but thats all pre roe #dark side of loving religion and hsitory classes is the research projects #i wasnt built for academic papers i need to be able to call someone a bag of shit

keep saying i don't want 2 work another retail xmas but canNOT 4 the life of me make myself finish my goddamn fucking job applications !!!!!! death & dying & despair etc. etc.

#i dont dislike the application process for gc jobs on principle BUT #it does not mesh well w/ my difficulties re: starting & finishing tasks #but like i understand why u cant just send in a resume n hit done #NOT that there are many IT listings up atm...... and ill apply 4 clerical/admin stuff too #but an IT-1 STARTS a good $10k a year higher than a CR-5 soooooo :///#which is whatever its fine money isnt everything!! ill gladly make less if it means not hating my job!!!#but i also wanna. u know. LIVE. move out of my parents house. buy brand name snacks occasionally. maybe -gasp- go on a vacation #(not 2 say i dont make an attempt at travel now but thats with very finite savings that are def only going down not up)#also extremely frustrating 2 me the emphasis put on having a degree that completely locks me out of certain job categories #like. yes. there are for sure some where having the bg knowledge is important eg. an AU (auditor/accountant) or MA (methodologist)#and there are certain skills a degree (in theory) provides eg critical thinking research etc.#but not all of us have $40k+ to get tge fancy piece of paper saying we have those things. and u can have those skills w/o a degree #and smth like an EC which needs a degree in economics sociology or statistics is so arbitrary #and maybe not necessarily actually based in the majority of work done by the majority of positions in that category #ANYWAYS not me being bitter abt education standards YET AGAIN lol #idek if i could go to uni even if i could afford it. even tho i have 2 college diplomas id probably have 2 redo my grade 12 english 😶‍🌫️#also if money were no object id probably go for like. film studies or smth lol not sociology #tho. ngl. if i had the willpower and determination 4 smth so rigorous (i 100% dont) accounting does seem. interesting asdffhkkfdghh #ANYWAYS pt. 2 all this 2 say this is why i instead spent $10k+ on the only possible 2 yr diploma #that can still get u in2 the higher paying public service jobs. even tho ive discovered i Dont Particularly Care for programming. :(#thats an understatement actually i was actively in hell for like 80% of that program and the remaining 20% mostly wasnt coding

My entire brain is probably going to be consumed by yellowjackets this month but I also am drowning just a lil

I have multiple papers I have to write & research to do & stats assignments etc this month. The semester ends 4/27 and then I have a month off before summer classes but have to work on a paper then too. Suffice to say I want to be here but final stretch of the semester so you know. Weeps.

#im just a little burned out #ooc.#tbd.#i have to write a paper over the summer that basically shows that i understand methods and stats and am capable of conducting a research #paper. and the first half of the summer i have an online asynchronous class thats like 4 mini papers from my understanding #but the back half i have class tuesday thursday 8am-12pm #so basically its just A Lot #i want to write i have a lot of muse but also im Tired All The Time #this weekend im gonna try and write one of my final papers #and next weekend i want to write my methods paper but i have a whole book i have to read for methods for the following week + 3? articles?#so we shall see lmao!#my gaship also apparently is supposed to pick up this month with more work for me to do and im like hehe fuck me #im writing my white collar crime final exam potentially 2 days before its due at this point bc thats when ill have class on the final part #fjdjksksa #and then there's stats! where i have an assignment due next tuesday which hopefully i will complete tomorrow #and then our final assignment is due the 20th and the final exam is on the 25th #so fkdososo lots to do and no time to do it #get your phd they said it will be fun they said #they also said the first year would be the hardest and compared to everyone in my cohort I've actually had it pretty good #I'm just a little frayed and ready for ths semester to be over

Favorite insect????????????? :0

OHHHHHHHH NOW THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION

Cinnabar moths are my favourite moths bc 1) they're named after the mineral and 2) the caterpillars are incredibly good lads who eat ragwort, which is super invasive in a whole lot of countries. Cinnabar moths can be introduced into these countries and have little effect on the ecosystem other than fucking up that ragwort!

Cape stag beetles are my favourite beetles bc they are REMNANTS OF AN ANCIENT ECOSYSTEM. Through chromosomal analysis, they've found that all the different species diverged during the Miocene era, which is marked by an increase in tebperature and aridity in the Cape Fold Belt in South Africa. These beetles lived in the valleys when they were foggy and humid and when this started to change, they managed to climb up into the mountains where it was still cool and wet enough for them. As the climate started to stabilise, they all began to adapt to the specific mountain top they were confined to, and that's why there are specific species now. There's something so COOL about them being the last part of that ecosystem and thriving despite it changing!!!

I'm currently reading a paper about Trilobite beetles though, and they are INCREDIBLY cool as well. The females stay in their larvae form instead of becoming beetles and they look SO SICK, literally like little trilobites!!!

#ask #oh ny god i love insects #i am exploding from joy reading this research paper oh my god #them staying in larvae form has implications for macro evolution and just AHHHH #SO COOL #my next thing to look up is carnivorous bees #bc WHAT THE FUCK THATS FASCINATING #also im sorry if it took me a bit to answer! im bad at checking messages

#so i survived my 1st week as a phd student. it's interesting. im not sure how i feel #the negatives are that i forgot how much stress being around people causes me. as a research assistant i was able to be on my own schedule #and go into the lab at odd hours so i never had to see anyone. but now im in classes and teaching and have a shared office #classes are tolerable stress wise so long as im sitting on an edge. i only feel a lil like im dying. teaching makes nauseous beforehand.#which is odd bc im not really worried while im doing it or before im doing it. i thibk its just that i have to interact ans i kno im a #mediocre teacher bc id rather die than do the back and forth of asking questions and u should teach interactively #i like to break down complex idea and help people with problems but i was not build to teach in classrooms. i get knocked off points when #i give class presentations bc i cant make eye contact lol. so that'll b annoying this semester. and its just so hard to function in an #office space. idk its weird like i dont even feel it that much while im there its just like a flashing *i need to leave* alarm. and then #when im alone its like a physical weight off of me. and i cant tell if thats what's draining my energy or if ive just cycled into a low #energy lul bc im just like. i wanna sleep. and for me thats always a sign that somethings wrong. i dont feel that bad mood wise but its #like there's a rock weighing me down as im trying to tread water. so those r the big negatives. the positives r that #i do enjoy being back in school. i love the structure of it. but im also self destructive abt structure so well see how it goes. but my #lab mates seem nice as does my advisor. i feel a bit bad bc ill have to learn genome stuff from the ground up. and today i was trying to #convey ideas to him like an insane person. bc i dont have enough background to talk fluidly abt my prospective project and i have a picture #of what i mean but not all the details. hopefully i made some sense. i think the idea is cool. and thats the other really positive thing.#the papers i have to read associated with this project r waaaaaaaaaay more interesting than anything i ever had to read for my masters. like #they're the types of papers i would force other ppl to read for lab meetings. so im optimistic abt not hating it by the end haha #yay for being excited abt science. but i guess thats the other thing i feel bad abt. like im interested but haven't read a lot to prep bc #i cant express how difficult dyslexia makes things but also i cant control how interested in things i get so i bassically banned myself #from reading papers im actually interested in like 3 years ago bc in retrospect i was prob going thru a hypomanic episode #and i was like reading papers abt microbes in Antarctica all day and not working on my stuff. and i just remember walking into the lab at #like 5am to trasfer alage with tears streaming down my face bc i was just like. i cant have this nice thing and b functional. it has to stop #so i just created this weird barrier in my mind where im not allowed to read fun papers. so its odd to b reading them now for work. its odd #also i was walking to my office worring abt things and then i saw some moss growinf around the edge of the sidewalk and it made me wanna cry #bc i am an extremely normal individual. i have normal feelings abt photosynthesis. but anyway yeah. its been interesting #hopefully ill stay optimistic. next week we have a orientation for new grad students. and i might have to drive like an hr away. hate that #the driving i mean. not the orientation. that should b fun #unrelated

went through the books i have because a lot i just don't want or haven't read and probably will not (mostly nonfiction books) so ive been looking at what i all have and I genuinely do just have a music book collection now I guess

#and not opposed to finding more to add to it its just an interesting new development #while i saved pdfs of sections of music books i read for research for my paper #i still would like to own physical copies of some of them #so thats something #i would also like to find a prettier version of brideshead revisited because the used copy i found #the book design isnt v.... nice.#and id love to buy that one cover version with the two seated men with their legs #even if i didnt like it as much as i expected or wanted to #i still enjoyed it and its a good comparison with maurice #theyre not one-to-one but i like comparing them and their approaches to similar themes and societal backdrop #and i have a good edition of maurice so
