If I ever started building any kind of miniature sculptures or statuettes or anything that's supposed to be tiny, I'd first sculpt a 150% size perfect replicas of a coke can and two euro coin, that I could pose next to them for scale, to make the miniatures look more impressive.

ive never been able to take "climb him like a tree" as a sexual innuendo seriously because i picture climbing a tree in my mind and then i picture a tall man in my mind and when i put those two things together im not seeing anything sexual. im seeing like. circus tricks.

'they used photoshop back then' im talking about someone whipping out a picture in 5 minutes. plus not everyone was good at/had easy access to photoshop. im complaining about how widely used and convincing ai pictures are now. i dont know whats real anymoreeeeee

on a separate note i can’t stop thinking about evil therapy speak claudius

“honestly hamlet you’re violating a lot of boundaries by constantly trauma dumping on your mom about your dead father. it’s manipulative and toxic to refuse to hold space for her and her new marriage when she’s just trying to do what’s best for her peace. anyway get the fuck over it it’s been a month”

it's healthy for academics to have professional feuds. enrichment activity

twelfth night is an insane play like oh I fell in love with this girl because I thought she was a guy and obviously I can't marry her so I'll marry her practically identical twin brother I've only just met instead. because I'm straight. I'm straight. It's because I'm straight

truly one of the most demoralising things about being in the job market atm is "only successful applicants will be notified" is practically a universal standard. so you spend hours, sometimes days filling out applications, writing CVs and cover letters only to be ghosted as the only form of communication. Not even a "thank you but this time you've been unsuccessful" email. You're in a constant state of "did I not get it or have they not contacted me?" and you just have to eventually conclude you were unsuccessful without so much as courtesy, "sorry, but thank you for your application." A literal thankless cycle for months and months and months. You'd think with all the ways to automate these processes they would at least have the time, means and decency to acknowledge your submission and let you off the hook, but no. You're just in limbo in every possible way in the name of "efficiency". Solidarity with everyone going through this because it is truly dehumanising and demoralising to work so hard on putting yourself forward constantly without acknowledgement or useful communication of any sort for long periods of time, and most ppl simply will not have any compassion for what that's like.

This is kinda ominous ngl

Gotta compliment him on his reflexes. No hesitation. Just described exactly what he was seeing, regardless of what it was.

[VD: A weatherman is giving a report and pointing to a map, saying "feel like temperatures really take a tumble too, because after the storm-" before he is interrupted by the screen going black and then displaying a picture of some baby spinach. He says, "um," then immediately points to the screen and confidently announces, "this is baby spinach." /End VD]

wanna hang out [remembers it's rude to put expectations on people] it's cool if not [remembers people like to know they're wanted] but I'd really like it if you did [remembers selfishness is bad] we can do whatever you want though [remembers that handing someone a blank canvas isn't as effective as providing a suggestion to bounce ideas off of] like sucking each others fingers for example
