There are raw materials undeveloped burning inside you but need a platform to materialize and manifest.

man i miss being 6 like back then one Discovery could take over my entire existence. like one morning the girl sitting next to me asked if i knew what Pregnant meant and like no i had not but clearly this is the key to something Big but rather than telling me right away she clickbaited me into waiting until recess to generate maximum anticipation and now this was The Event of the afternoon for our whole class (finding out the definition of a single word) and i was literally vibrating in my seat with the Need to Know. and once she imparted this it was all i could think or talk about for the rest of the day, but i remember being so flabbergasted by the concept that it temporarily took over my entire universe. and i could not tell you anything i actually learned in class that year but i miss going in and being fully ready to have my socks blasted off in some new fundamental way every single day

The Spirituality Façade

Navigating Between Pretense and AuthenticityIntroduction:In an age where spirituality is often a trend, the differentiation between authentic spiritual pursuit and a mere display of piety becomes pivotal. If one merely adopts the garb of spirituality without authenticity, is it spirituality at all? This article seeks to explore the delicate balance between presenting oneself as spiritual and…

This started as me airing out my trivial job grievances since my bf isn't available to talk but then it turned into me talking about my short term career goals. Let me learn how to bullet journal or something so I can write down and work towards my goals and manifest my dreams

There's a visiting researcher processing samples (some DNA extractions but mainly multiplex library preps for sequencing) this week but we didn't order enough reagents for her and it seems like the business team just went ghost once the semester ended last week

Yesterday before I left I talked to her for a bit about how the order wasn't even approved yet so the reagents definitely won't be in before she leaves by the end of the week

She shared how she only came for this week to fit the schedule of a grad student in the lab, but the student has no wet lab experience and honestly doesn't care to learn (even though her projects require people to generate the data for her to analyze). And the researcher said her postdoc PI was willing to let her take this week to do this work to follow up on this project that she started in her PhD but wasn't finished because there was no one in our lab working on the G. Project (we have 2 other major projects focusing on other species that we've been actively working on)

What struck me is that my PI talked to her about doing this work well over a year ago, but since we haven't actively been working on the G. Project he didn't relay ANY of this to us. I am currently the 2nd most experienced in the lab to process these samples since I'm the main person who does our library preps, but I have 2 weeks left here until I leave in-person. Had he put this on our radar over a year ago when he talked to the visiting researcher initially, we could've planned accordingly and maybe done most of the work so she wouldn't be in this predicament (and I happily would've done it since I enjoy doing the library preps)

It's just something that I'm now realizing my PI could be better at: informing the full-time wet lab staff of projects when he first conceives of them so he doesn't just bring it up a few months before a grant runs out. Cause the other lab tech is tasked with cell culture work for the G. Project that the grad student SHOULD help with but likely won't bc she has no wet lab experience and seems very laissez-faire about being involved in the process of generating this data (even though she's supposed to do computational analyses with them eventually). My PI (and maybe the grad student too) wasn't upfront to the visiting researcher about how the grad student is essentially useless if you expected someone else to help generate data in a short time frame; and I completely understand the researcher's frustration with the situation (not to mention there are discrepancies in our sample inventory vs the data sheets the G. Project provided which has been an ongoing issue because pre-2022 the people entering data in our record system were NOT consistent and did it relatively sloppily)

And let me not get into how seeing that grad student have no wet lab experience, say that she intentionally switched her undergrad major from biology to anthropology to avoid "harder" bio classes that she couldn't handle getting anything less than an A in, and now she does not seem to give af about learning the wet lab protocols to generate the data she will be analyzing for her PhD research further fueled me to figure out what I wanna get a PhD in cause seeing some of the white girls from out here who got into PhD programs without the credentials I have was eye-opening. The best thing to happen to me by moving out here is that it grounded me and showed me that I am 100% qualified to pursue/do whatever research career I want

For my next job I want to get some experience working in a neuroscience lab to see if that's something I can see myself doing for 5+ years in a PhD program. I may not have the neuroscience education as a foundation, but I can be successful working in a wet lab and know that I can learn what I need to in grad school, plus my background in biology is solid enough to get me by

Yesterday I received an email asking me to fill out this survey for an organization I applied to. The survey was a mess but I answered as honestly as I could and it shouldn't even matter for the positions I applied for. So the fact that I got the survey lets me know that I'm still in the applicant pool at least. And my PI very kindly messaged a PI friend of his who is looking for a research tech in his lab that harmoniously blends my interest in behavioral ecology with neuroscience. Hopefully that becomes an option along with the other positions I applied to

I planned on making this move to be with my bf so that I work for 2 years, then I enter a grad program and we relocate to wherever if need be. And to be clear, I'm not pushing off grad school bc of him (I would never do that - my parents raised me to be my own independent person and my grandma, great aunts, and the other women who came before me in my family lineage would be rightfully disappointed if I had all this access to resources to be independent and I actively gave it all up just to be with a man). Given that I've had my own doubts and uncertainties about what I want to commit 5+ years of my life doing in a PhD program since I was an undergrad, all this time has been for me to test out research fields, gain experience, and develop personally

I can proudly say that atm I am done developing personally. I am ready to get into a grad program, train to successfully conduct research in whatever field I'm focusing on, and continue advancing in my career as a researcher

More than a post, perhaps this will be a booster post: short, intense and energetic. I need to really gather all my energy for this.

It is so interesting watching qBadboyhalo just completely destroy the caring and trusted reputation he had on the server by being ruthless at every opportunity here, I understand why he’s doing it, but it’s really like watching a car crash in slow motion. People used to leave their eggs with him all the time, and after everything he’s done, all the things he’s sacrificed to achieve his goals, including his relationships, I think a lot of characters are going to have trouble trusting him as much as they used to. He promised he’d get Worse and by god is he delivering

Exploring Significance: What Truly Matters in Life

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to get caught up in the noise of the mundane and lose sight of what truly holds significance. We often find ourselves chasing fleeting pleasures and distractions, but it's essential to pause and reflect on the things that genuinely matter. In this blog post, we will delve into the concept of significance, exploring various aspects of life that hold lasting value and make our existence richer.

Meaningful Relationships: At the core of human existence are our connections with others. Meaningful relationships with family, friends, and loved ones are a source of support, joy, and emotional fulfillment. These bonds provide us with a sense of belonging and purpose, making them one of the most significant aspects of our lives.

Health and Well-being: Without good health, all other pursuits lose their meaning. Physical and mental well-being are the foundations of a fulfilling life. Taking care of our bodies and minds through exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness practices ensures a better quality of life and a brighter future.

Personal Growth and Learning: The pursuit of knowledge, personal growth, and self-improvement is a significant part of the human experience. Learning new skills, expanding our horizons, and setting goals give our lives purpose and direction. Lifelong learning keeps us engaged and adaptable in an ever-changing world.

Contributing to Others: Making a positive impact on the lives of others and the world at large is a source of profound significance. Acts of kindness, volunteering, and community involvement create a sense of purpose and fulfillment that extends beyond our individual selves.

Passion and Creativity: Exploring our passions and engaging in creative pursuits adds depth and richness to our lives. Whether it's through art, music, writing, or any other form of self-expression, these endeavors allow us to connect with our inner selves and leave a lasting legacy.

Inner Peace and Mindfulness: In the midst of a hectic world, finding moments of inner peace and practicing mindfulness can be profoundly significant. Cultivating a sense of presence, gratitude, and contentment allows us to savor the beauty of everyday life.

Nature and the Environment: Our connection to the natural world is undeniably significant. Protecting and preserving the environment ensures a sustainable future for generations to come. Time spent in nature rejuvenates the spirit and reminds us of the interconnectedness of all life.

Cultural and Spiritual Exploration: Exploring different cultures and spiritual beliefs can be a transformative journey. It broadens our perspective, fosters tolerance, and deepens our understanding of the human experience.

Acts of Kindness and Compassion: Small acts of kindness and compassion have a ripple effect that can touch countless lives. These acts not only bring joy to others but also create a sense of significance within ourselves.

Legacy and Contribution: Leaving a positive legacy and making a meaningful contribution to society are endeavors that transcend our own lifetimes. Knowing that our actions have made the world a better place is a source of profound significance.

In the grand tapestry of life, it's the threads of significance that give it color and meaning. While we may be tempted by the transient and superficial, it's essential to remember what truly matters. By nurturing meaningful relationships, prioritizing health and well-being, and contributing positively to the world, we can lead lives that are not just long but deeply significant. In doing so, we leave a legacy of love, compassion, and purpose for generations to come.

જ⁀ 𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐘 𝐘𝐎𝐔 , various !

synopsis: his voice lines about you as his beloved partner

including: veritas, jing yuan, blade

side comments: dw i promise i'm working on the house of musica requests... i just wanted to do this for fun! also this is the first time I've written for jing yuan which is kinda funny. i liked writing for blade again. originally i had welt and aventurine in the mix but i wanted to post this hahaha.

extra: gn reader, angsty and fluffy moments, mentions of marriage, aventurine jumpscare later favourites: blade word count: roughly 2,085+

𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐒 𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎

WHO ARE THEY? I "So you're asking about my significant other? Are you shocked that I have a significant other? At the very least consider your question."

FIRST MEETINGS? "I met Professor ( Name ) when they barged into my lecture, they said they were 'lost'. Since then we had several heated debates academically. Have I lost in these debates? Several times yes, consequently making debating with them all the more... interesting. Especially considering that Professor ( Name ) has a well-rounded vault of knowledge in most subjects of academic and social relevance. Finally, a conversation worth my time.

GREETINGS? "Professor ( Name ) considers a good greeting the highest attribute. A curt smile and a cup of coffee suffice, thankfully they know when to remain silent. However, there are instances when they will talk relentlessly. Initially, I used my headpiece around them. Nevertheless, their conversations do occasionally convey subtle insightfulness and definite meaning. Gradually I have come to share some liking towards their rather pleasant 'small talk'."

PARTINGS? "A small kiss on the cheek: be it on my skin or the headpiece, that is all. However, I... have always preferred it on the skin."

ABOUT US: ART "Outside of ( Name's ) academic career, they share a peculiar fondness for art. Be it painting or sculptures they could very well get lost in a museum. When they discovered my fondness for sculptures and anatomy, they were... oddly quiet; tracing their hands over my sculptures- or my face to be exact. ( Name's ) admiration is always shown in silence, one of the greatest forms of praise.

ABOUT US: TRUE APPEARANCES "I have questioned how ( Name ) has perceived our relationship. Considering that we are both colleagues, it can lead to speculation amongst other *sighs* inappropriate comments. Hence, I prefer to keep our relationship known only to those who need to. I believe them to be devout and... undoubtedly caring. I hope my attitude towards them conveys a similar message.

CHAT: WORK "Although we teach different subjects, we occasionally mark or review the work of our students. You may call it a 'second opinion'. Thus, their opinion is one that I trust."

CHAT: SERVICE "( Name's ) actions can initially appear simple-minded. However, underneath simplicity, lies thoughtfulness beyond comparison in both work... and at our residence.

PASTIMES DONE TOGETHER? "Film is not an art I deliberately take part in or seek out for leisure. However, ( Name ) was quite adamant and passionate about film. Thus, we've watched a myriad amount of films and TV shows together, both acclaimed and disdained. I have my own varying opinions. I must admit, after a long bath, a film in bed is quite soothing. Considering that ( Name ) similarly enjoys the pleasure of a bath, our nighttime routine is undoubtedly satisfying."

ARGUMENTS: "One must always think before they speak for there is a price to pay. ( Name's ) silence is decisive, deliberate and painful; burning right through your chest. Debates are loud, quarrels are bitterly silent."

SOMETHING TO SHARE: "Solitude is the greatest gift to civilization and self: introspection enlarges the expanse of the mind. However, the pursuit of knowledge is not only found in discovery and text. It is through experience alone. I have found much knowledge in solitude and an equal amount through genuine companionship. Hence, I share my deepest revere. "

WHO ARE THEY? II "My lover. That is who they are to me and all you need to know."

EXTRA: AVENTURINE'S OPINION "I met Ratio's lover when I visited for business matters. But, all that went out of the door! I saw a lovely individual by his desk and thought, 'Who is this?' Ratio never, and I mean never, allows anyone to screw his desk up. Yet, here they were, seated at the edge of his desk toying with his stupid chalk greeting me with a bright smile. We immediately hit off. I suppose Ratio does have some luck in him, but then again, ( Name ) was the one who first asked him out. Less to do with luck, and more to do with destiny. In my opinion, destiny is not something I fully believe in, however, when I watch Ratio and ( Name ), it's difficult to imagine a universe where they aren't together."

𝐉𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐘𝐔𝐀𝐍

WHO ARE THEY? I "You are looking for Commander ( Name )? Sadly they're on a business trip, however, I'd be happy to answer in their place."

FIRST MEETINGS? "( Name ) is an interesting soul. I've heard of their praised skills in combat and decisive thinking. Many assume I met them on the battlefield. Yet, I met them over a coincidental cup of tea."

GREETINGS? “I find it amusing how our everyday greetings have evolved. At first it was a salute. However, I find that a kiss on the cheek is a much more efficient way of greeting and brightening up the mundane tasks *sighs* of work.”

PARTINGS? “Why bid farewell when one hasn’t said hello? Partings have always been bitter. Yet, I find comfort in knowing that all things lead back from whence they came.”

ABOUT US: AGE “Time for long life species is fickle and plainly slow. Despite that, ( Name ) has constantly made time— less daunting and more fun. ( Name’s ) life span… is a touch shorter than that of myself. Hence, they have brought forth a new value in every passing year to which I cherish. This year I plan on doing something special for their birthday— though, don’t tell them that.”

ABOUT US: SILENCE "As much as ( Name ) glows in social settings, they equally enjoy stillness, if not more. There never is any obligation to fill the void when we're together. It is as natural of an act as breathing.

CHAT: PRODUCTIVITY "( Name ) likes to be on task. I, however, don't always find leisure in such activities. ( Name ) quote, 'holds me accountable'. Of course, there are moments in which I can distract them."

CHAT: FELINES "They are quite fond of Mimi. Unfortunately, Mimi is rather... aggressive when around ( Name ) and has been for a considerable amount of time. One time ( Name ) was attempting to bargain with Mimi for her favour. *Chuckles* What a sight.

PASTIMES DONE TOGETHER? "Master Diviner Fu Xuan would frown upon it... but I suppose napping on the Seat of Divine Foresight is considered a 'pastime' when done regularly enough."

ARGUMENTS: "I do not attempt to quell the frustrations of my dearest. It is not often they disclose them to me and it does pain me to be the cause of their anger. Nevertheless, if it means the two of us will grow closer, then I will gladly offer myself to the brute force of my dearest. Of course, the swelling of regret still stains the heart."

SOMETHING TO SHARE: I've lived one life yet many all at once. Companions scattered amongst the universe and enemies whose names I've gradually forgotten. Yet, underneath the breath of my dearest, I'm simply a man in his spouse's embrace. Nothing else matters."

WHO ARE THEY? II "My most loving spouse."

EXTRA: FU XUAN'S OPINION "When Commander ( Name ) came into the Seat of Divine Foresight to help the General... he grew all the more 'lazy'. A part of me feels sympathetic towards Commander ( Name ), imagine having your own spouse bully you into doing your work? Alas, it's not my business to speak about their marital life. Besides, the two go hand in hand, like a puzzle piece clicking together. Both can do well without, but when joined together, they are a force to be reckoned with."

𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐃𝐄

WHO ARE THEY? I "Their weapon may be thin, but it pierces holes even in the most... stubborn of enemies."

FIRST MEETINGS? "Elio's script is always followed. However, ( Name ) is a detail I did not anticipate or was foretold. My body met the tip of their spear before I saw their face."

GREETINGS? "Over time ( Name ) has grown close to the Stellaron Hunters- especially Kafka. Their presence is imminent despite not being a Stellaron Hunter themselves. ( Name ) smiles whenever we meet, it has always been more than enough."

PARTINGS? "My promised end will come, yet an absurd inkling of regret remains."

ABOUT US: THE BLADE "( Name ) believes the blade to be a form of art. They had said, 'The blade dances in air with undisturbed poise and precision, a kind of mercy not known to themselves.' I asked them why they chose a spear then. They replied, 'Because I could never dare replicate it's beauty.'"

ABOUT US: WOUNDS "( Name ) never wanted to be a traveller, rather, they opted to string fabrics together with a needle and thread. Perhaps that is where their skills come from."

CHAT: MIDNIGHT "The mara is like a ghost. Yet, ( Name ) is a fool. They embrace the ghost I can't seem to remember other than its bottomless spite and fear."

CHAT: SCARS "Their hands never 'keep to themselves'. ( Name ) prefers to trace their hands over surfaces and make shapes. They tend to draw stars... so many stars."

PASTIMES DONE TOGETHER? "When there are no missions, we sleep in silence. Under the guise of sleep and their warmth, immortality does not follow me."

ARGUMENTS: "When all is said and done, silence remains."

SOMTHING TO SHARE: "If there is life after death, then I wish to meet them in the same manner, again and again with that smile and spear."

WHO ARE THEY II? "The person who taught me how to breathe and pressed their lips against my skin."

EXTRA: KAFKA'S OPINION "Blade will never admit it. But, ( Name ) cares for Blade and Blade does too. The pair will never put a name to the push and pull between them. I caught Bladie once; staring out into the open universe searching for something with a spark of life that doesn't belong to a dead body. I wonder if ( Name ) put that there."
