I love the rhyming on ttpd. can only think of two examples currently but I know there’s more.

#the dancing phantoms on the terrace do they get second hand embarrassed #is e v e r y t h I n g #but also I can’t stop thinking about: #you. look. like. taylor swift. in this light—we’re lovin’ it #like just the flow. the cadence. not even just the rhyme but #her ease with language and playfulness with it and all the little pockets and corners of so many songs #even ones you think you don’t like. settle in with time! #like the thing about taylor is that she is VERY much a poet #in that some of her genius/way with words is innate #and the images and stuff she uses the turns of phrase can feel so garish and embarrassing on first listen #they JAR #but honestly I think it’s because she is truly …. new? she is doing something NEW #and the shock and outrage that always goes with new things is always present with a Taylor album #and I think she’s drawing on so much from the past to write but she is so deeply rooted in the present cultural moment #so it’s so easy to dismiss her writing on first glance as like. idk a college girl’s idea of poetry #as being too Stark or Melodramatic. #she loves OBVIOUS imagery and extremely dramatic ones too #but she isn’t actually just throwing stuff at the wall #because pretty much always. it starts to land and soften and settle #and the image she’s chosen has done its job of drawing you into a world #and/or communicating an emotion #and sometimes it’s so upsetting. like. get me out of the bedroom with Matty Healy taylor!!!!!!!!!! but. the art is art-ing! #I guess is what I’m saying. she’s good at this it isn’t just hype #but some of it really is that she’s taking us places we might not want to go or are so quick to pass judgment on #as being unworthy of a song or more importantly a poem. but present art HAS to do that #and does do it!!!!!! idk I am just. musing

thinking about daredevil yellow again im not. going to make it Guys.

#static.soundz #crying screaming and hitting the ground. so good. it made me cry really bad #bc whenever i think about jack n matt it always makes me think of me n my dad for various reasons #when matt said i couldnt feel his heartbeat inside me anymore. no words. #i rambled about it on my main but dd is very much intwined in an interesting and special way with my own heavy grief about my dad #and matt was a very important character to me during that time of my life for the exact same reason. #it's why i take a lot of very heavy issue when things try to make it so his dad died in his childhood as opposed to college #bc a) think it takes away a lot of the important nature of their relationship and b) my own personal projection #bc all grief at any stage is highly personal and unique and particular #but it really does feel like. matt is really just starting to become an adult (depending whether he dies when matt's in under or post grad) #(bc i can never remember which) but he's not quite a mega established one. there's still that lingering of childhood #so even though he's grown. it just hurts in a very particular way. they saw you grow up. but they didnt really see you become an adult. #they did not see the person you're going to be. that you are. that you're becoming. it feels like such a bizarre unfair moment in time. #bc why now? why not when i was younger? why not when i was truly an adult adult who is expecting to lose you now? #why at this moment and no other time? #but thinking about matt going i wish i told my dad how much i loved him. #more than anything when he goes 'i love you dad. did you hear? i love you.' #it made me cry like a fucking bitch. honest to god tearing up when i type about it. it wrenches my heart it twists it and it makes me wanna #drop to my knees and just weep and weep and weep. they are everything to me. #i have intertwined a lot of matt's grief with mine in a way that makes him so so so important to me. because as stupid as it fucking sounds #that comic and him as a character are everything to me. so genuinely. they were a lifeline my freshman year #when i was so depressed all i could do was read comics. or listen to music #i could do nothing else. i did. clearly. i did work and assignments. but dd was everything to me alongside dm #im sorry i am being an actual like nutbag in my tags im sorry i just have a lot of feelings. this story is everything to me ever ok? ok.

I was driving earlier with my classic rock playlist on, and Carry On Wayward Son started playing. And I was like 'You know, this is probably a cursed opinion but I think a Supernatural AU would work really well for Stan and Ford. You know, two brothers driving around in a classic car looking for weird things (although not killing weird things).' I then told myself that, while I COULD write it, I SHOULDN'T write it (for the sake of my own sanity, also because Bill would probably end up taking Castiel's place and that's just too much for me).

Anyway the next song was 'Heat of the Moment' by Asia, which just seemed like a sign.

#I'M NOT GOING TO WRITE IT. FUCK YOU BRAIN #YES I KNOW THERE ARE A HORRENDOUS NUMBER OF PARALLELS #BROTHER GOES TO COLLEGE AGAINST OTHER BROTHER'S WISHES #SMART/NERDY BROTHER AND BROTHER WHO IS SEEN AS STUPID BUT ISN'T #DADDY ISSUES #DEFINITE HOMOSEXUALITY #MAKING BAD DEALS #BUT STILL #DON'T DO THIS TO ME #I'M TRYING TO WRITE T E N T A C L E S #gravity falls #supernatural #MY BOYS

Adam and Theo would have a whole ass FANDOM dedicated to them. the fandom would be very hated and nobody would like them because who the fuck sees a video from a court and is like "guysss... 🥺🥺 do you see how sad Adam looks because Theodore is going to jail 🥺🥺 they were so in love"

Why TF Isn’t This Article Available From My Library?

An Explainer for College Students and Anyone Else Using Library Resources for Research

Many journals cost money. Like, ridiculous amounts of money, even to libraries, even to big university libraries. It’s a big problem--just google “Elsevier” (a huge publisher of academic journals that lobbies against open-access) if you want a start in seeing how cost affects access decisions.

Journals and databases (where you often find said journals/articles) are usually a subscription, not a one-time purchase. So ongoing access usually requires ongoing payment.

Libraries generally do not have a lot of money. Libraries are often devalued (”everything is online,” “it’s easy to search for things with the internet,” “physical books are on their way out,” “students grew up with computers and so don’t need librarian help as much as the past”) and are easy targets when trying to reduce funding, so your library cannot subscribe to every journal or database.

Sometimes a library’s database might only have access to specific years of a journal. Maybe because a publisher pulled their support (or wanted more money or something) after a specific date.

Sometimes publishers put embargoes on journals. That means access to those journals’ articles is restricted for a period of time after publication, often 12-18 months. Therefore, even a library that normally has access to The Journal of Fake Journal Naming Procedures might actually have embargoed access that ends 365 days ago.

Libraries will often have the abstract of an article--the description, basically--even if they don’t have access to the article itself. So when you’re searching, you may often find articles that sound great only to find that you can’t read the article itself.

So why do you need to know this?

First, because it explains why you might not be able to find everything you need the night before your paper is due. When librarians and professors (and professor librarians) say to start research early, this is one of the big reasons why. It’s not scaremongering, it’s that you legitimately might not be able to adequately find or get everything you need if you wait until the last minute.

Because you usually can get access (legally) to that article your library doesn’t have! If the library doesn’t have it, I usually check Google Scholar (see if it’s linked anywhere else), and a normal internet search--sometimes it turns out the journal is open access and has the articles all on its own website, sometimes an author will have a PDF on their personal website, etc. And if those don’t work, most libraries should have something called interlibrary loan (ILL), which allows them to request that a library that does have the article send it to them and you.

But ILL relies on humans, who have work schedules, need time to see and reply to emails and locate articles, might need to scan them into a PDF, etc. I’ve seen ILL article requests fulfilled within a few hours! And I’ve also seen ILL article requests take a business week. At my library, the average is about 2.5 business days.

Second, you should know about availability because it’s possible for access to change at any time. The library could change database availability. A journal might change its access. A journal might increase fees and the library might have to stop subscribing. If you have an article that you are using, referencing, or even just potentially using, the best way to make sure it stays available is to download a PDF. If you’re using a citation management program (like Zotero, RefWorks, or others), many will let you attach a PDF to your reference, instead of just linking to it. If you save a PDF where it’s accessible to you, you will never have to worry about losing access to that article.

Third, if you understand the difference between “abstract only” and “full text available,” you can tailor your search to better fit your needs. If you have time--say, a week or more before it’s due--then absolutely abstracts might help, because you likely have time to request and receive the full text through ILL. Your library helps you find sources, even when the library itself doesn’t have access, and thus you have a huge amount of options for finding the right articles for your project.

But when the clock is ticking, knowing that you don’t have time for ILL, you can know to look at the search options on the library catalog or database (such as “advanced search”, or limiters that pop up next to the 12,745 results of your initial search) and look for a box that says something like “full text only.” Computers aren’t perfect and a few abstract-only entries might slip in, but you’re much more likely to find sources that you can access, right now.

#a lot of people get understandably frustrated bc they don't understand why abstract-only results are popping up #or why they had access to this article 18 months ago but not now #and I wish there was a quick-n-easy way for me to explain #this goes extra for students researching more obscure topics or fields especially ones that the college doesn't study directly #the library has a mandate to support the college's programs but if you're doing deep independent research into Teapot Management #& the college doesn't have any programs/majors related to Teapot Management then the library might not have a lot of resources on that field #library tips #research #college students #tumblarians #working in a library #tips #wish I could make this appear in front of so many college students

i really need to be making more money than i am working w/ the family business. unfortunately the possibility to do so is hindered by the fact that i hate everyone and forget everything among other problems

#cant do retail bc i will eventually blow up on a customer or a manager. cant do food service anymore bc they expect u to do 8 jobs #packaged as one and the probability of catching covid from the job is high ESPECIALLY bc nobody masks here + ppl come to work sick!!! #dont have my degree only partial college so i cant get a more specialized job. #cant do office errand jobs bc i cant focus on a screen n need lots of helping mechanisms to remember things + annoy ppl by asking for #reminders all the time bc i just cant remember. lack of degree here again doesnt help. #cant make money off art bc i dont have the motivation or ppl skills or technical skills required to get popular in such a competitive scene #same goes for voice stuff which i did actually have an interest in trying #dont drive anymore so i can't do delivery #it's all so funny. what am i supposed to do. guess i'll just fuck off!
