It seems that your cheap phones are not a god given right but actually a luxury sustained by imperialist inequality after all. Mirá vos.

was talking to my mom about how white people ignore the contributions of poc to academia and I found myself saying the words "I bet those idiots think Louis Pasteur was the first to discover germ theory"

which admittedly sounded pretentious as fuck but I'm just so angry that so few people know about the academic advancements during the golden age of Islam.

Islamic doctors were washing their hands and equipment when Europeans were still shoving dirty ass hands into bullet wounds. ancient Indians were describing tiny organisms worsening illness that could travel from person to person before Greece and Rome even started theorizing that some illnesses could be transmitted

also, not related to germ theory, but during the golden age of Islam, they developed an early version of surgery on the cornea. as in the fucking eye. and they were successful

and what have white people contributed exactly?

please go research the golden age of Islamic academia. so many of us wouldn't be alive today if not for their discoveries

people ask sometimes how I can be proud to be Muslim. this is just one of many reasons

some sources to get you started:

but keep in mind, it wasn't just science and medicine! we contributed to literature and philosophy and mathematics and political theory and more!

maybe show us some damn respect

😂😂😂😂😂

Mc: " I was with August, I'm fine. "

O: " Oh, so, you been cheating on me with August, HUH? "

This scene was so fucking funny

Cool, calm reasonable O immediately feeling offense just from hearing MC doing something as normal as hanging out with their band mate 😭

I realize I have not provided an update on my BG3 adventures and a few of you seemed invested, so...

I now have around 420 hours in the game (a little over 10 work weeks full of gameplay), I have two concurrent playthroughs in progress and 6 or 7 finished, I have many mods installed, my Tavs are beautiful, I'm playing on tactician, and I keep romancing Gale and Astarion to experience various permutations of the relationship. I have also considered making a side blog for this specific interest because I have nowhere to contain my feelings about it 😭

You are precious

[thedreadpirate-cupcake]

I used your blog as my dashboard. Yeah, I liked 30 posts on your blog. Yep, I reblogged 20 posts from you in a row. Uhuh, I trawled your similar posts section and reblogged an analysis of a character you posted in 2015. Yeah, and I'll do it again.

This is a long uncomfortable read, but the most complete analysis of the abhorrent shit-take on a quality vital for human life that I’ve seen so far.

Grit your teeth, if necessary, but read it if you can. Understanding—as a foundation for future action—counts for more than comfort, sometimes.

Being like. Post-suicidal is so strange. Like hiiiii everybody im new I spent a good chunk of my life languishing and have like 3 or 4 lived experiences. But now I'm ready to fuck and party or whatever. Can we be friends. Im so happy to be here. Can we be friends

Transcript:

Girl, just do it fat. Don’t wait until you’ve lost enough weight. You’re worthy of taking up the space that you fill. Live your life now. Don’t wait for some future version of yourself that you think will be more deserving. You have every right to pursue your passions and dreams just as you are today. Your worth isn’t tied to a number on a scale or the size of your clothes; it is inherent in who you are. You’re allowed to be seen, heard, and celebrated in whatever body you inhabit right now. Don’t let anyone or anything convince you for too long. So go out. Do it fat! Wear the clothes you love, pursue the opportunities that excite you, and live unapologetically. There’s no reason to put off living the life that you want, waiting for a moment that you’re not even sure will come. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled just as you are, and the world needs you exactly as you are today. Everything good that has ever happened to you, happened in this body. Girl, just do it fat.

okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the "personal life" part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you'll either find a major tragedy he didn't recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she's not there anymore.

I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he's done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.

so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn't work in history, or, women aren't auteurs, or, there just aren't as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.

Bdhdhdhdjdj i went to an interview today and they offered me the job!!!!

I feel so weird lmao, i've been working in a place i consider purgatory for the past 6 years. Seriously. I started the in 2019 and managed to keep the job throughout the years, it had become a comfort zone but a toxic one, if that makes sense? It fucked up some aspects of my self-worth/evaluation of my own skills, like even though i have had side-hustles and been studying on the side, putting myself through uni and going to night classes, i've felt so completely burned out and worthless due to my boss taking me for granted, getting no feedback on anything, working terrible hours for little pay and now?

Someone wants to make me their goshdarn head of department. 🥹

And i'm so scared to fuck it up, but i am so SO determined to do well and make them glad they hired me.

[thedreadpirate-cupcake]

So many doors will open for you when you decide it's okay to start over.
