If you are like me and always need to be working on something to keep your anxiety under control, during this quarentine why not helping scientists by looking at pictures of some neat penguins? or even galaxies? There’s this site call Zooniverse, where you can help on scientific projects by analyzing pictures and data! Right now my favorite project has returned, called Penguin Watch (where yeah, you get to watch penguins, it’s amazing)
you basically have to analyse photos looking for penguins, their chicks, eggs or even predators and human interaction But there are lots of interesting projects you can help in areas such as biology, physics, history or even art:
Oh and the best part, some institutions even accept it as volunteering/service hour requirements for graduation and scholarships!! It’s helping me a lot during this time, so I thought it was worth sharing
WHY DO PEOPLE NOT SHIP WORDSWORTH AND COLERIDGE.
- met and instantly connected
- fucking followed each other across the country for years. First coleridge moved to be with Wordsworth, then Wordsworth to coleridge. One of them got kicked out of town (because drama) and the other followed and like, come on. Just cuz your bff has to move like an hour away you don’t pack up your life and follow them.
- Dorothy wrote about how they met literally everyday and talked about poetry and philosophy and COMPLETED EACH OTHER’S WORKS because they were that in sync
- they made a book of poetry together. personal and professionally compatible. Lyrical ballads, the iconic collab.
- the authorities actually got involved because neighbours were super suspicious they were political radicals plotting something and, no, not at the moment, but you know valid concern with these guys. If rainbow rowell has taught me anything it’s that “plotting” really means “gay” and given the time calling the authorities on the super domestic and romantic guys next door really isn’t that far off
- and like “This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison”?? I know Coleridge directly refers to Charles Lamb but like. If you were pining and trying not to broadcast your sexuality to the world including your wife wouldn’t you be a little subversive? He’s just whining lovingly about not being able to go for a walk together and how Nature will bring them together in spirit and if that’s not the sweetest, tragically gay thing ever.
- their relationship really fell apart once Wordsworth finally got married and he got fed up with Coleridge’s opium addiction and constant womanizing
- they lived the rest of their lives very publicly hating their wives and not really speaking
- I just gotta add Wordsworth and Dorothy? THE BEST SIBLINGS EVER.
(this has been the most distracting thing ever while trying to study them for my romantic lit final pls tell me I’m not the only one)
younger sibling mindset is genuinely enjoying watching someone else playing video games for hours on end

junhong: i failed my safety course today.
himchan: why? what happened?
junhong: one of the questions was "in case of fire, what steps would you take?"
himchan: and?
junhong: well apparently "FUCKING LARGE ONES" isn't an acceptable answer.
TRUTH.
Techno talking about Type, his own best friend:
Techno talking about Tharn:
Techno making sure Type does the right thing:
TRUTH.
*if you’re not gonna treat my boy right i will*
Techno being the only valid member of the Tharn’s protection squad:
His heart is so pure i swear. He really is THAT friend, the one we all need.
(Look at his adorable little face aww)
Tharn and Type: *have a fight*
Techno:
Also Techno in his mind: *cause you’re an idiot and that’s a fact*
Techno: *sees Tharn*
sums up pretty well how Techno sees Tharn, like an angel on earth lmao
university is ALSO just *goes to bathroom* *stress cleans to avoid homework* *buys on sale bread* *peace sign in mirror while bawling your eyes out at 3am* *always has a cold* *glasses r fogged up* *granola bars* *falls asleep in class* *does laundry* *staples something* *takes an ibuprofen* *listens to the same song for 3 days straight* *no free seats at the library* *checks phone to see how long until class ends but forgets to actually look at the time* *naps* *regrets nap* *microwaves something* *has crisis about major* *contemplates dropping out every other week* *buys toilet paper*
So because I’m dragon age and sanders sides trash I thought it would be fun to do a crossover! And since all the sides are Thomas I got to mess around and give them different face shapes and stuff based on the characters from dragon age :)
Seems to me the problem with Uk’otoa is that he isn’t a great hirer. Like we’ve seen/know of 4 warlocks so far (including Vandren) out of whom 50% didn’t plan on releasing him at all and 75% are dead
Hi anon,
You are very right. Here are a number of issues with Uk’otoa’s business practices:
1. Offered the job to various drowning randoms on the spot without an interview.
2. Sets very unclear expectations (provoke? consume? how does one achieve those metrics in a meaningful way?)
3. Highly passive-aggressive - cutting off all access to benefits when employees don’t achieve quarterly goals? You didn’t even try a Performance Improvement Plan? OK snea snake.
4. Didn’t address the lingering resentment after a fling between coworkers went sour. Technically that resentment lasted only a few hours after which one of them was murdered by a pirate king, but a good manager would have intervened early on.
5. When an employee quits with minimal notice consider it a time for reflection. It’s an opportunity to understand why - it might just be them, but you might have made an environment where they don’t feel safe giving the typical notice for your industry.
6. Once an employee has left you should move on and not send a team of sea spawn and deep scions onto their ship in the dead of night to cut a fucking hole in their chest.

I wasn’t asked to a single dance in high school and didn’t have a serious romantic relationship until I was 22. And like, yeah that shit hurt when I was younger. I had a lot of fears that I was unlovable and that I didn’t deserve to be happy. And every time I would try to talk to anyone about it, the conversation became, “you’ll find someone”, when it should have been, “you don’t need a relationship or a date, you’re lovable & complete & beautiful on your own”.
So yeah, please normalize young people not dating, and please stop shaming them for it. There’s more to life than romance, despite what the media wants us to think.
