my ideal self:

the aesthetics of a gay, femme, arts student with the personality of a STEM nerd

This is not like a fully completed thought but yk

So I've done my first aid + CPR a few times. And every single time I try and bring up scenarios for fat folks

Specifically like 'what if someone is too large for me to wrap my arms around then to do the heimleich'

And its incredibly rare I get a decent answer.

How absolutely insane is it that me, as a fat person, is asking how to have MY life saved or to save ANOTHER life, is an impossible feat if someone is fat.

Most of the time they tell me to 'just try anyways uwu'

There has got to be a better option.

HEARTBREAKING: Poor girl has to get out of the soft warm bed even though she is so so so so comfy

I. HATE. IN-TEXT. CITATIONS.

Not just when I'm writing a paper, but when I'm READING a textbook it looks SO messy (Rick-Astley, 1969, p. 420) and it's SO distracting, (Morbius, 2022) and SO disruptive (Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, & Rudolph, 1964.) to my reading and (Bird, Grouch, Monster, & Monster, 1997 ) learning process. And why are some of them SO FUCKING (According, 2007; To & All, 1991; Known, Laws, & Of, 2378; Aviation, 57 B.C.E.) LONG???

FYCK YOU people who think hanukkah is the 'main jewish holiday' because it's near christmas.

sometimes plushies make me cry because it’s like. they’re little guys made to be loved. their only purpose is to be held and hugged and loved. we made them because we love making things and we love loving things. and they’re so cute

"Can I say dyke as a bi girl" is like the leftist version of having to ask your pastor if birth control is a sin

i keep seeing you guys be conflicted about how watching an actual goncharov movie would be super cool but then ppl say “yeah but it would ruin it!”

so here’s a pitch for you

a goncharov II movie. no first one, for obvious reasons. but they make a sequel and everyone who KNOWS will know and everyone who doesn’t will… well, you know. perfect way to continue the joke without completely ruining it and see a movie.

my mom didn't believe in lying to children so when I first asked about santa claus as a small child she was like "oh santa claus is another name for a man named saint nicholas who lived a long time ago. he was a very kind and generous man and he loved giving people presents and he would do things like put presents in people's stockings when they were hung up to dry by the fire, so they would find them and be surprised. so now when we give presents at christmas it's fun to pretend saint nicholas or 'santa claus' brings them. and we hang up stockings by the fire and when we get up in the morning there are presents in them, just like if saint nicholas was still alive to bring them!"

so that thanksgiving one of my uncles said jovially "so mac, are you being good for santa claus?" and little (not quite three year old) mac looked up and raised an eyebrow and said witheringly "he's dead."

I feel like a lot of the “burnt out gifted kid” stuff is just the realization that very few attributes viewed as “promising” in kids actually translate into real life promise and skills. Learning how to easily pass tests doesn’t actually prepare for much more than passing tests. Being a “delight” in class often just means you were too anxious and shy to engage with other students or push boundaries (which is an important part of learning as a child).

Sometimes this leads to taking on more work and getting burnt out from that, but a lot of it is just realizing that that same skill set and those same weaknesses don’t continue to benefit you. You end up having to learn how to interact with people, and while you may be good at critical thinking or problem solving, you have to figure out how to apply to jobs and to relationships. You have to learn a lot of stuff you were supposed to learn more naturally as a kid, and that’s what causes a lot of the burnout. It’s not a loss of skills, just the realization that they weren’t the right skills.

Capitalism obviously plays into this a little bit, especially in America, because of the insane pressure to do too much work, but that burns out everyone. You’re not unique in being hurt by capitalism. But the whole idea of “burnt out gifted kids” does reveal a lot of flaws in our education system.

Iconic Things My Coding Professors Have Said (and it’s only day one)

“that sounds very hacky, but smart”

“i’m not sure where i’m going with this… its quite similiar to my life”

*Entire class and prof spends fifteen minutes trying to solve a problem before eventually giving up* “great work guys, that was some good debugging”

“is this a super big issue?” *longggg dramatic sigh* “… yes”.

Professor 1: “it’s still not working? um… okay, maybe you should… turn off your wifi and turn it back on again?"   Professor 2: "40 years of experience in networking and computing at its finest”

“whenever i’m doing my taxes, i never use the calculator app on my phone, i always just open up a notebook and use python and i think thats very brave of me”

“your life quality with improve when you use python 3 instead of python 2. your skin will improve and you’ll even sleep better”

“so this compiler doesn’t recognise cases, so if you’re really perverse, you could do Apple, aPple, apPle, appLe, applE, but if you do that then i’m going to kick you out”

“so, let’s give an example: "True = False”. Asides from causing the end of the world, much like dividing by 0, this will also cause an error"

“if you want to see my cat, i’ll show her. if you DON’T want to see my cat, too bad, cause I’m going to show you her anyway”

“today we will use three keywords: `if`, `else`, and their weird cousin `elif`.”

“if you want to type something else, like… uh, goodbye world? maybe? is that too dark? i think its too dark, so lets save that for later on in the year… by the way, have you been told about your exams yet?”

Professor : “is everything clear so far? shall i go faster?”   Literally EVERYONE: “no! slower!"   Professor: "Slower?! you can go slow when you’re dead, you won’t need python then!”

“you can’t use functions as your variable names. for example, you can’t call this number "if”. i mean i don’t know why you’d use that as your variable name to begin with, but i’m not here to question your life, i’m here to teach you python"

“it’s probably not the most efficient but its just what came out of me so we’re running with it”

Executive dysfunction is like arguing with a small child to do something except you’re the small child.

My classmate said that blind people can't be in science because they "can't read graphs." I responded with "disabled people can be scientists, besides that's what alt text is for." She replied with "well, okay, but they can't be in forestry [our field], that would be too hard for a disabled person." I then countered with the fact that I am disabled and am succeeding (and while I didn't point it out, I am receiving higher grades than she is, and I have had to tutor her). She said that it's different for me, and when I asked how so, she didn't reply.

Disabled scientists exist and we are successful!

suggestions for gender neutral version of mom/dad? something less formal than just ‘parent’

Goncharov Uquiz time for the memes, since it’s enjoying a renaissance!

Attempting to get my students to fucking come to class

all this talk about goncharov but i dont see anybody posting the soundtrack??? like how are you gonna talk about this movie without the music

scrolling twitter today and then coming over here is like walking out of a burning building and then walking into the calm remains of a building that burnt down 5 years ago and has been reclaimed by nature.

Mini batch of NHK 2022 x text post memes

The funniest thing about the original Goncharov post is that I have seen people do exhaustive amounts of research in order to discern that it's a misspelling/mistranslation of Martin Scorcese's "Gomorrah" and then go "well this explains everything" while never once questioning why it's on shoes

My partner: Do something hot.

Me: *grabs my boob through my shirt*

He: No, I can't see. And I don't have boobject permanence

when will someone do a figure skating program to the soundtrack of goncharov (1973). the music that plays when katya tries to kill goncharov would be perfect for ice dance!

Ich glaube das schlimmste an der deutschen Übersetzung von Goncharov ist, dass sie es "Goncharov - Schüsse in Rom" genannt haben. Hallo?? Es gibt eine Szene die in Rom spielt. Eine.
