eh

i love writing uncomfortable conversationsssss i love shitty communication skills i love misunderstandings i love competing and contradictory needs and desires i love situations where nobody is happy and theyre just talking about it but its not fixing anything :)

i love when nobody says what they mean and i love when nobody understands what they should from what is being said and i love when nobody thinks before they speak and i love when everybody thinks theyre having a different conversation and i love when everybody is trying their best and it just SUCKS

'#I need to get better at this though#I love doing it when it works but I'm such a stupidly earnest writer that sometimes I need to go back through#and edit in some lies or at least make character not just tell the whole ass truth with their whole ass' i'm really bad about this too, especially because I've been leaning heavily on myself to be better about shit irl, so i've been trying to do this but on purpose? like lay out what i *think* the conversation should be then snip some uncharacteristically open & aware bits out & add them making incredulous faces at one another instead

Whatttt is with the tendency of Tumblr users to seek absolution from every single person who offhandedly posts about disagreeing with something they do

I say this not unkindly, but firmly: to function as a member of a social species, you have to get comfortable with the idea that not everyone will like you

Vodka & benadryl got me feeling like a oyster

my inner qualities will carry the day in the third act. but here in the first act they're worth fuck all

you lost your faith in humanity? wow really? have you watched 45,000 people simultaneously control one pokemon game and get to the fourth gym?  believe in humans.

they released the starter

Pokemon Heritage Post

it is not "punk" to shiny hunt. it is not "punk" to level your pokémon through the daycare. it is not "punk" to EV train on low-level mon. the only thing it is """PUNK""" to do is hang out with dark types and poison types in abandoned hotels

Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.

Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.

Reblogging so you know which sites to totally avoid

if for some reason none of this works, the old “send a email nicely asking for the paper to the author” is always a good trick. remember most scientists hate the commercialisation of scientific knowledge

Don’t mind me, just gotta share this with my bf so that he knows what websites to avoid

Many authors of papers are on ResearchGate! You can ask for papers there, if they don’t just post a copy to download. If they’re associated with a college, you can usually find their email addresses in the department directory, also.

Always reblog.
