Hello, I am back for a month now that the semester is over. Submitted grades for my students, and final papers for my classes. It was a great learning semester for me, as a teacher and a lifelong learner: I hope it was the same for these students as well.

Happy end to the first semester of the Ph.D. Let's keep going!

Apparently the local university’s undergraduate entomology course sends students to catch insect specimens at the same place I like to go birdwatching, which explains why I saw three enormous frat looking dudes with tiny bug nets and overheard one emphatically say “bro BRO I told you we already have enough lepidopterans”

#I told my brother (in the ag field) this and he said ‘oh those are definitely turf bros’#apparently entomology is a required course if you want to specialize in golf course management which I guess is a career that some desire #and there is some Westside story type beef between the turf bros taking entomology for pest control reasons and future PHDs who love bugs #actually chatted with them later they were very lovely

Bruce: Congratulations, Jason! You’re the first of my kids to graduate college!

Dick: Yeah, first and only one for all eternity!

Bruce: *Ignoring Dick by sheer willpower* Anyway, what are you planning to do next?

Jason: I think I’m going to continue my education in English Lit.

Bruce: *nervously* Great. You’ll get a Master’s Degree, right?

Jason: …

Bruce: …right?

Jason: Actually, I’m going for a PhD.

Bruce: This is a terrible joke. You’re over the supervillainy, right, Jay?

Jason: Look, my application to GothamU’s PhD program was accepted!

Bruce: No child! Of mine! Will get! A PhD!!!

Jason: I’m hoping to be a literature professor at GothamU, if I survive long enough.

Bruce: *screams incoherently*

Dick: I think you broke him.

#in Gotham saying I want to get a PhD #is equivalent to saying I want to enlist in the army #like we admire your sacrifice please don’t die or go crazy or be evil #either that or announcing that you’re dropping out of high school to start a rock band with the local pot dealer #incorrect batman quotes #batman #dc #dc comics #dcu #batfamily #batfam #jason todd #bruce wayne #dick grayson #incorrect quotes #incorrect dc quotes #incorrect batfamily quotes #humor

sick of this anti-aging obsession. let's go in the opposite direction. i want more characters who are hardened & grizzled & have a face lined with the harrowing tribulations of time--and then halfway through the narrative u find out they're 27

#they aren't even a chainsmoker or anything they just don't wear sunscreen are chronically dehydrated and have witnessed the Horrors #u know. like most of us #ideally we first meet them in a bar where they are guzzling from a tankard like a mysterious and dangerous stranger #later we find out it's not ale they're on a kombucha kick #they've been making it in their basement w/ the help of a college roommate who quit a biochemistry phd to become a beekeeper

It wasn’t supposed to be a secret.

If you died while with the league, you will no longer be acknowledged to have existed, especially if you died during a mission. A disappointment will not be remembered.

The bats and birds don’t like speaking about the people they have lost, so they don’t. If someone ask about the dead, they will tell the person they don’t talk about that.

So how was Damian supposed to know that he should have told his father about his dead brother?

#dpxdc #dcxdp #danny and damian are siblings #demon twins #or #older brother Danny #a dead brother #who is not as dead as everyone was led to believe #but that's not the main focus right now #Bruce is angry at Damian for not telling him about his other son #Damian is rightfully confused #all his life the dead were not to be acknowledged #if you died you might as well have never existed at all #so Bruce has only himself to blame #(and obviously the maternal side of Damian's family tree)#especially if he dismissed Damian's questions about his parents in the past #but how did they come to know about Danny?#good question!#maybe a summoning #planned by the JL or a cult thing #or he is a new JLD member #Batfam on a road trip and they happen to stop in AP #Danny goes to college in Gotham and people who want PHDs get monitored #take your pick #there are a lot of possibilities #CreatureWrites

The problem with Victor Frankenstein isn't that he's not as smart as he thinks he is. The problem with Victor Frankenstein is that he's exactly as smart as he thinks he is in one very specific area, and he just expects that to automatically translate to every other area of his life and is taken completely by surprise every single time it doesn't.

#media #literature #frankenstein #victor frankenstein #mary shelley #characterisation #he's the forefather of every stem influencer who thinks having a phd in physics automatically makes them a qualified sociologist

i said that gale and cyra have disaster romcom energy and now it's all i can think about

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #galemance #gale dekarios #tav #i think it falls under miscommunication trope bc she's SO hard to read that he would think she's fucking with him #but no she genuinely wants to know every reason he disliked that book #in this au she actually has a phd instead of just being. a weird lady #she's still a weird lady but she's licensed now #also idk if it's registered bc i haven't done a lot of comics with her but i see her a lot like elizabeth zott from lessons in chemistry

Hi! My name is Lucia and I am a PhD student in ancient history. I am currently working on a small project about fanfiction and what it can teach us about the creation of mythology in the Graeco-Roman antiquity. For that, I need your help. Please answer the following questionaire about fanfiction - it should not take more than 5minutes. This questionaire deals with a specific fanfiction phenomenon and I did not include it in the title to not influence the data. Please finish answering it even if you say no to most questions - it will still help me out immensely. After finishing the questionaire, an abstract that explains what this questionaire is actually for will be provided.

Thank you!

EDIT: Thank you for your help! This survey is closed for now. If a case can be made, there will be an update sometime later. If not, I am glad so many people had fun. Have a nice day. :)

going through my old journals as part of therapy homework and i'm reading a section written in the emotional wreckage of a full-on breakdown when i get hit with this line:

There is never a satisfying answer to ‘Why didn’t they love me?’

like wow babe. good fucking point

#like you were on the ground biting the carpet and dry sobbing while you wrote that and still. good fucking point #not a shitpost #cptsd #and it's true. there's never a satisfying answer #the truth is i know why i wasn't loved #i analyzed my parent's traumas and abuse to death. i understand why i alienated and was alienated from my siblings #i know why my mom was too overwhelmed to be capable of nurturing #i know why my dad vanished into addiction and avoidance #the details of our cycles of trauma and cptsd and family history i have a phd in all of it #i understood perfectly. i spent years studying and now i knew the answer #and guess what? IT WAS NOT SATISFYING!!!#because they still didn't love me! and i still couldn't change that!#it was still a completely unsatisfying state of affairs!#so like. when the people who are supposed to love you...don't.#when the people who are supposed to take care of you...fail to #you can look for answers and reasons and explanations #but that's not actually going to FIX your situation.#and it's probably not within your ability TO fix the situation. (and definitely not your job)#because you don't need answers--you need a new situation #*inserts Just Walk Out. You Can Leave!!! (Running Skeleton) Meme*#and yes. walking out isn't always possible.#but for you i hope it will be one day soon. and i hope you build the courage to take that leap.#stepping away from the people who failed to love you...it feels like being untethered but also like being lighter than air #new and scary. immensely relieving. the future opens up. empty but empty like a canvas. blindingly bright until your eyes adjust #like climbing out of a pit you called home and for the first time realizing how bright the light of day can truly be #when you aren't just getting glimpses from the bottom of a hole
