getting the most popular result on uquiz is one of the worst and most sickening things that can happen to a girl

A sudden, terrifying thought

When you see an animal with its eyes set to the front, like wolves, or humans, that’s usually a predator animal.

If you see an animal with its eyes set farther back, though—to the side—that animal is prey.

Now look at this dragon.

See those eyes?

They’re to the SIDE.

This raises an interesting—and terrifying—question.

What in the name of Lovecraft led evolution to consider DRAGONS…

As PREY?

my fave thing about being alive is that there is nothing that cannot be learned. tapestry weaving, astrophysics, swimming. music, theremin, singing. cutting your own hair, dancing, quantum mathematics. sewing, philosophy, social skills. knowledge is divine, but sharing it is human !!!

the stem student urge to see everything under a microscope

yeah we’re like best friends. i like her posts all the time

i cannot stress enough how much of an impact changing the way you talk to yourself can have on your mental health. swapping out self deprecating jokes and changing unhealthy sentiments like "i hate myself" and "i want to die" to kinder, more forgiving ones like "i need a break" and "i'm trying" can make such a difference to how you view yourself. the things we say to ourselves become a part of our lives and so we deserve to me kinder to ourselves in our heads.

ladies we need to start frantically and obsessively reading books in less than 24 hours again..remember how happy we were

habit of oversharing yet people know nothing about me

my pandemic vibe lately is listening to radio garden to practice languages but low key floating away to being in a car or cafe in a foreign country and the radio is playing in the background

reminder: not being happy doesn’t make you a failure, it’s ok to be sad and it doesn’t mean you’re not trying

You got through the days you worried most about, you got through the weeks you were anxious about, and you got through the months you felt at your worst. Take a moment to be proud of yourself for that, and maybe even reward yourself. I believe in you for going through and doing well in the moments you still have ahead of you.

can someone please tell me how to play dnd alone

realizing i spend too much time worrying about embarrassment. i don’t know something? that’s okay. i haven’t seen that movie or know about that book? that’s okay. i do something that makes my life easier that people consider the “lazy way”? that’s okay. i like this harmless thing people think is “cringe”? that’s totally okay. it’s a waste of energy to criticize myself because of the judgement I anticipate from others.

Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.

i love to learn. unfortunately my brain doesn’t like to remember

Praying for the woman I’ll be in 5+yrs I hope she’s happy, and loved, living life unapologetically, doing what she loves.

one remarkable thing about Musk is that for as unhinged as he is he manages to be profoundly, excruciatingly uninteresting

let's bring back unsafe science. i wanna throw myself off a building with some paper wings and see if i fly and then go home later and inject myself with mercury just because i want to.

KILL HIM

piracy isnt theft but i wish it was. i wish i could download a disney movie and then they dont have it anymore

TUMBLR STOP SHOWING ME THIS MAN

Pikachu-man, I BEG of you, don’t appear on my dash again- you gave me a near heart-attack.

Fucking sleep-paralysis demons are less scary than this.

just say lol and move on 

Your best is what you can do without harming your mental and physical health, not what you can accomplish when you disregard it.

perpetually fighting the urge to call myself a potato

trying to recover from a teenage brain that formed during the self-deprecating meme era of the internet 

It doesn't matter what you think, stop doing it. When someone tells you you're doing something wrong, trying to argue around it just makes you a jackass. Just apologize and correct your behavior.

This, my friends, is what we call “weaponizing progressive language.”

Because this would be a completely reasonable response in many circumstances. We’ve all seen similar things said to people who genuinely need to Stop, like celebrities defending their use of slurs (to name just one example). Devoid of context, this ask seems like someone fighting against an unreasonable asshole.

Except the thing I was most recently told to stop doing was…acknowledging that historical trans people existed.

The only reason I’m not simply ignoring this ask is that, once upon a time, I would have seen it and immediately started groveling. Because I don’t want to hurt anyone, and I ESPECIALLY don’t want to be doing so habitually. And very young people- like teens -in progressive spaces, I feel, are often cornered like this and made to apologize for “transgressions” that aren’t real. They have the compassion, but not yet enough experience to recognize this pattern of behavior.

It’s important to apologize and change when you hurt someone undeserving, or a group of innocent people. But it’s also important to recognize when someone is trying to use that concern for others against you.

ermm….aren’t you gonna tell me what a special boy i am and how my discoveries will shake the scientific world and how fascinating my experiments are now? lol…… i wore my longest most flowy lab coat today do you like it. ignore the bloodstains lol ahahaha. oh and you totally saw the brains in jars right
