A general tip for students who are sending those dreaded Religious Absence Emails to your professors: Rather than asking permission to take the day(s) off, politely let them know that you will be taking the day(s) off.

In other words, consider not saying this:

"May I miss class on [date] so I can observe [holiday]?"

It's not that there's anything wrong with the above, per se. But because it's phrased as a request, it risks coming across as optional — a favor you hope to be granted. Problem is, favors are not owed, and so unfortunately asking permission opens the door for the professor to respond "Thanks for asking. No, you may not. :)"

Instead, try something along the lines of:

"I will need to miss class on [date] because I will be observing [holiday]. I wanted to let you know of this conflict now, and to ask your assistance in making arrangements for making up whatever material I may miss as a result of this absence."

This is pretty formal language (naturally, you can and should tweak it to sound more like your voice). But the important piece is that, while still being respectful, it shifts the focus of the discussion so that the question becomes not "Is it okay for me to observe my religion?", but rather, "How can we best accommodate my observance?"

Because the first question should not be up for debate: freedom of religion is a right, not a favor. And the second question is the subject you need to discuss.

(Ideally, do this after you've looked up your school's policy on religious absences, so you know what you're working within and that religious discrimination is illegal. Just in case your professor forgot.)

I have so many questions about Astarion's birth family that it isn't even funny.

I wonder what sort of relationship/dynamic they all had before his death, I wonder how they reacted, if they knew he was "alive" as a spawn the entire time and just ignored it because that creature wasn't their son/brother/nephew anymore, how they would react if told he had spent 200 years suffering. Most of all, I wonder if they would accept (or be proud of) the man he became at the end of the game.

don't cry. pour a small-seeming serving of any pasta noodle you'd like in a deep microwave-safe bowl, just barely cover the noodles with water, microwave for roughly 2 minutes 30 seconds, stir, microwave for 2 more minutes, carefully drain the pasta water from the pasta, liberally mix shredded non-mozzarella cheese into the hot noodles, and pour small amounts of milk in (maaaybe a school milk carton's worth or two at most) to taste and to make it creamier, okay?

I finally womanned up and went to the local queer-affirming church I've been eyeing for ages now. I'm closeted to pretty much every single person in my life, so in a way I guess this was my first time being openly queer in any capacity. It was so healing to share a space with other queer people in real life.

For so long, I've been searching for people who'll love me while seeing me as I truly am. And I was so scared, too, but I guess the mortifying ordeal of being known isn't so mortifying at all once you really get down to it.

I am loved. I am loved. I am Loved.

Love saved me and I am made of love.

(The local pride parade was yesterday and while I couldn't go (re: the whole being closeted thing), this church had a booth there so long story short, I got a cool rainbow rosary in the end 🥹)

here comes a list of the different levels of friends that you can be with barton, because i said that i would explain what being a ' level 2 friend ' to him would mean and i fully intend to keep that promise! so here we gooo.

level 1 friends: you're the type of friend to barton that he would wave to whenever he sees you. he would also complain about his work with you, but NEVER about his second 'business.' ( his organ trafficking && dollmaking. ) and in turn, he would let you complain about your work to him as well, or anything that might be bothering you. barton isn't really serious about your relationship emotionally, but he will encourage you and praise you for accomplishments / achievements. you two also may share a few interests, which barton enjoys talking with you about.

level 2 friends: you're the type of friend to barton that he is now moderately emotionally invested in. barton will DEFINITELY share his number with you at this stage, so expect him to call you if he needs something, or even if he just wants to talk with you. he also trusts you to a medium level and will help you reach your goals without ever being asked for it. barton does subconsciously have the expectation that you are willing to do the same for him, however, which is really neither a good thing nor a bad thing. you two go beyond just having similar interests... you share certain values with him and/or ideals, and because of that, barton sees you as someone he can depend upon. he would also save you in an emergency situation, BUT i can not say for sure that he will be willing to die for you.

level 3 friends: barton is now FULLY emotionally invested in you, so don't expect to be getting rid of him anytime soon! because you're stuck with him now, MUAHAHAH. barton will do things like raising a toast to you just because you're friends and will reach out to you himself whenever he sees that you're struggling with something. barton also lets you take a glimpse at what's really going on in his head sometimes, and in return, he'll be there for you as well whenever you need him. at this stage, literally, all you need to do is be around barton to make him smile. expect him to feel safe enough to be as silly as he wants around you and do things like give you unprompted hugs + allow you to cuddle with him. barton trusts you with his life, and he would put himself at risk of dying to protect you. so, yes, he would be willing to die for you.

i was watching a music video for a japanese song and it had built in youtube english captions so i went to turn those on but then i saw that there was like an option for "English" and then a second option for "English (Canada)" and i realized in a few seconds it was just a workaround to having two sets of english captions, one with colour changes in the lettering and one without for accessibility (the canada one was the non-fancy lettering) but for a moment i was living in a world where they were making dedicated canadian english translations for things..... measuring temperature in celsius and height in feet...... paying with loonies and toonies... going to the WASHROOM

I love car dependent society I love giant highways I love every grass area in my city being turned into a giant parking lot I love having every place where kids and people with dogs always used to play being destroyed in order to have more space for cars I love crossing dangerous roads in order to get where I need I love giants slabs of concrete being prioritized instead of grass/bushes/trees

The Blue Castle chapter 28

The first thing to note is that the Stirlings react to Valancy's freedom by pushing her away. They can't control her anymore so they simply refuse to interact with her in any capacity. Unless she is subserviant to them and their rules, she might as well be dead, and Barney too. Which they don't hesitate to say!

The last time it happened was in chapter 27 when Mrs Frederick said she would rather Valancy had died than marry Barney. Which considering what is actually happening to Valancy is an unspeakably cruel thing to say.

They even had the audacity to go in to Uncle Benjamin’s store to buy groceries. Twice Uncle Benjamin ignored them. Was not Valancy one of the dead? While Snaith had never existed. But the third time he told Barney he was a scoundrel who should be hung for luring an unfortunate, weak-minded girl away from her home and friends.

This time, Uncle Benjamin puts the blame on Barney. In a patriarchial high-control system, women are seen both as the scapegoats for men's actions and, simultaneously, unable to do anything without a man instigating it. Hence, the "have you no shame" of the last chapter when Valancy revealed she proposed to Barney.

So, Uncle Benjamin assumes Valancy must have been "lured" away from her family and forced to marry Barney and reacts to this assumption by telling Barney he should be killed.

And, yeah, Barney's reaction is really funny and defuses the situation but also...I really want to see the Stirlings get their actual comeuppance.

“Marriage is such a serious thing,” sighed Cousin Georgiana. “When it’s going to last long,” agreed Valancy.

Now this is interesting and hints at how Valancy sees marriage. I think what she means is not that she doesn't care about Barney or their life together (she most certainly does!) but that she doesn't view it as a long-term commitment because it isn't.

"...when the sunsets flooded it Valancy’s whole being knelt in prayer as if in some great cathedral."

LMM has a theme of equating nature with worship in her works (see the bit in AOGG where Anne talks about going out into nature and "feeling" a prayer), so this is a very on-brand passage for her.

Valancy might never be beautiful, but she was of the type that looks its best in the woods—elfin—mocking—alluring.

Whatever actress can do that is the one that should play Valancy in an adaptation.

The only bad one she had was one night when she was temporarily out of medicine. And it was a bad one. For the time being, Valancy realised keenly that death was actually waiting to pounce on her any moment.

If we're talking about fanworks, I would absolutely love to see a missing scene about that night. What happened/why, was Barney there or not, if he was what reaction did he have or did Valancy just try to hide it altogether, or if she was even successful at hiding it. Etc

people acting like there isn't still very much an active stigma against cannibas and cannibas users is going to be my joker origin story

when i go to the doctor they still put cannibas use under the tab "substance abuse". not even just substance use. it is fully assumed that people who use cannabis, even as a prescription medication, are abusing it. just because you're friends with a couple of dumbass stoners doesn't mean that we've abandoned the idea as a culture that weed is a bad and scary and dangerous and highly addictive drug that will ruin your life if you use it once

[an-absolute-nightmare]

it's funny how any decision i ever make that my mom doesn't like is something i do to her and any decision she refuses to take that would improve her life is me shifting blame onto her and nothing is ever her fault and everything wrong with her was done to her and the only times she has ever been wrong was when she is guilt tripping me but don't you dare ever imply to her that she's guilt tripping, oh god no, how dare you imply that her ''heartfelt'' apology (that consists of her taking all the blame and not even a little responsibility) is an attempt to guilt trip you, you're the problem, you just don't want to take responsibility of your life, you're just wasting opportunities served to you on a golden platter, you just picked the easier path, you just picked the harder path, jesus fucking christ mother i really don't want to say it but the truth is this, that for someone who never took a stand for her own life, you sure have opinions to offer about mine

[Note: I can and will deny any commission that deems inappropriate for me or does not apply with my conditions]

Also PLEASE keep in mind this is in no way my profissional work, so any replies may range between really fast to really slow and to please be patient with me!

.

But ok, so i dont wanna sound desperate...but I'm desperate. Dont wanna get into too much detail why, but things are a tad bit tough for me rn regarding money, luckily nothing too serious, but still kinda a bit for me to beg just a little, hence the emergency on it

These are fairly simple, and the cheapest i can really go

I'm really embarrassed to even do this tbh, I'm not the type to promote myself like this alot (not even on Instagram, but i do this more often there), or ask for help, but things are getting complicated rn and it cant get a part-time job at the moment, so I'm sorry,,

If you can't afford this or just dont want to, it's alright, just sharing this is good enough of help!

I'll keep the status of these commissions in check on my pinned post if you want to commission me but saw that this post is old btw :>
