Poems, confusion, & art

@lebananasplit

i do. i mean that one.

pardon?

Don't shy away from chatting with staff and curators either!!! Please!!! They love it when people come to them with questions or a desire to learn further!! Get involved, see if they take volunteers, as local museums often struggle to receive the funding to be staffed properly, and public assistance helps greatly. Museums, as institutions, are flawed, but many, many folks involved with them do want to make them better, and the way they get better is by diverse bodies, voices, and people engaging with them!! PLEASE go be a nerd.

I have a friend who used to do security in a museum (one of the ppl on the floor, not in a security office) and they also can often answer your questions because they hang out there all the time and get to hear bits of tours and read the info things when it's slow etc

hej! worked with the youth council of my local art museum! we don’t bite! we love to see you there, even if you don’t wanna chat or if you do wanna chat and dont worry, most of the time we don’t “get it” either. you’re fine. we just want you here :3

fun fact one of the world champions in pepper-eating contests is a trans woman and she actually faced significant backlash because people somehow thought she had a biological advantage. to eating spicy pepper

update bc i went back and checked: her name is brianna “the chilli queen” skinner and she set a record in 2017 by slamming back 23 carolina reapers consecutively. she only stopped when told to by the referees, and the next year she stepped down out of boredom. queen

The championship, it should be noted, is unisex. Apparently being a trans woman gives you an innate biological advantage over both cis men and cis women.

The innate biological advantage of being cool as fuck

@lebananasplit is this why you fill yourself with generosity and whimsy??

If there's one person on a bus because that person cannot or doesn't want to drive, the bus is succeeding.

I read a study once on the fuel efficiency of various types of commuter vehicles (car, bus, train) on a per person basis and the number of people needed riding public transit to match the "efficiency" of cars is shockingly low. A bus needs to carry like 3-4 people to be fuel efficient, and trains require 2-3 per train car. Both often carry two dozen or more during peak hours, more than justifying any perceived requirements for efficiency for the train or bus to provide service the entire day.

Please keep interacting with this post because when I come to tumblr to procrastinate, this shows up again in my notifications and guilts me into writing again

oh no oh no but then i have to do it myself
