We're Sane, We Swear

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

they should invent a high ponytail that doesn’t give me a headache and they should invent a low ponytail that doesn’t make me look like a miller’s apprentice going off to enlist in the continental army

I think the reason I still enjoy tumblr is that even though this all still pisses me off, I know that anything that makes me mad on here is 100% earnest. It's not ragebait or engagement farming, y'all are actually just that stupid sometimes

jet lag: the game is so fucking funny. imagine you are an australian fisherman. two american 20-something-year-olds show up at your pier trying desperately to catch a fish. they clearly have never fished before and are very poorly attempting to do so. their fishing rod falls apart immediately. they just start scooping at the water. one of them is fully about to undress and jump in the ocean when all of a sudden they notice they did manage to get the tiniest minnow possible in their net. they celebrate this catch, and then one of them immediately says “we gotta go back to the airport soon”

ask not for whom the deutsche bahns. it bahns for thee

this trend of shitting on peer-reviewed academic studies in favor of tweeting “we already knew this was happening” is so soul-crushing. not to be an elitist cunt, but we have got to open the schools again. people genuinely seem to have forgotten that their personal lived experience isn’t indicative of the larger population, AND IF IT IS…… then you need researchers to support these assertions from a relevant data pool instead of a blog post from 2013 💀

"Believe women and the marginalized" does not replace the value of empirical data.

it's also just so shitty being a scientist right now and seeing people shit on research at a time when the federal US government is trying to starve and strangle American research. like. when you say "oh we knew this already, there's no point funding research to prove it" we hear that our work doesn't have value. and if you think scientists aren't hanging out here on tumblr in our free time, well, think again.

having unwashed hair will have you believing shit like i can’t be saved

Yu-Gi-Oh fans really saw the scalpers coming and said "You've activated my trap card".
