Lele's corner of curiosities

It’s so sad that students are now relying so heavily on AI for writing essays because they’re missing out on the best part of writing an essay which is when you’re a few paragraphs in and you just reach that flow state where your thought process becomes one with the essay and you’re slamming the keys so hard that you’re on the verge of destroying your laptop. I used to get high off of that shit

I'm gonna be real with you, tumblr I dislike the trend I have seen for a while of a minority of people that do claim to do their research with stories regarding Greek mythology or ancient Greek stories and absolutely, without shame disregard the environmental aspects of it. Not just erasing some stuff like the importance of legumes, but also genuinely erasing normal flowers with exotic ones or making crap up with no reason that would be fixed with a normal googling. It makes me sad but, I prefer helping instead. This is not a post meant for people that write for writing which is A OK. No, this is for the people that claim to do their extensive research and end up painting the flat image they were trying to avoid or end up making more mistakes. Example peaches or lemons on Mykenaean Greece. I'm no authority whatsoever but a fellow research so If y'all need help here are some my tips: - iNaturalist is a really good tool for a general idea. Type location you want and a huge array of species will appear. Choose Native and it will clean your feed from exotic or invasive species. - Flora ionica is a German web in English that has the flora of the Ionian islands - My library (Ulises' library/la biblioteca de Ulises) will have stuff updated and if you really, really have a question do this. "topic you want to research" pdf. Most sources I use: Wikipedia, iNaturalist, Flora Ionica, Greek Forest Map, Köppen climate classification, It will send you to ResearchGate or any other paper you may need. Reiterating. This is not mandatory to anyone. but, if you are a writer that wants to understand a better image of our beloved stories, this aids so much in your path plus it makes a more lived on worldbuilding to: whoever says they did research without sources and passes rosemary as a strange plant or says oak is the same. (this also applies to any type of story btw, even outside Greek myth)

I love how every June this one gets dug up and passed around again, lmao.

happy month, fellow slurs.

gotta be a term that isn't the dunning Krueger effect but is a kind of similar idea where the more deep scientists get into their topic and the more exhausted they get, the more likely they are to find stupid ways to describe things

this post brought to you by a bunch of coral specialists at the end of a workshop voting to define coral, a complex animal, as "a rock with problems"

It's called "the reason science communicator is a different job than scientist"

not every mutual fits neatly into an archetypal medievalism but there are some mutuals that im like yeah addressing you as “my liege” would come strangely naturally

Too bad the prophet Cassandra never met Odysseus

They say if she made a prophecy Nobody would believe her

I’ve gotta say, that is exactly the kind of stupid thing that probably would circumvent a curse.
