#a lot of ppl at my college do

[thiefnessman]

i love my college and i mainly looked at hwcs for a reason (didn’t want to deal with misogyny in STEM, wanted to be around other lesbians, really liked the vibes) but these past few months at the lab tech training program have made me really realize that the “no cis male peers (except for that one guy in the water class)” thing is a weird bubble to be living in

#idk my sister is currently in college at a coed university and i’m in this program and i’m like Oh my college is a bubble #idk that frat video was just like. vaguely bewildering to me and i realized i haven’t actually interacted with a frat #in like. any capacity. like not even someone who is in a frat #admittedly part of this is i Don’t Get Out Enough so i don’t do the stuff at the neighboring colleges that like #a lot of ppl at my college do #but like. idk.

a better and possibly less cheesier comforting post for younger people who have no interest in drinking is knowing that while society itself puts a lot of pressure on drinking especially as a social thing people are..nice and by that i mean i dont rlly drink and didnt drink in college at all but i was still invited to parties to hang out with friends and nobody cared I just didnt have to pay friends for the vodka and theyd let me have the chasers and snacks and hang out and nobody came up to me like 'why arent you drinking?' it was cool everyone was cool. i have a friend who LOVED going to bars but didn't drink so he'd just order virgin drinks and he had so many friends who liked going out with him and to this day he still doesn't drink bc he just doesn't like to

like obviously if you cant be near it these things don't work but just because you by itself 'don't drink' doesn't mean people will avoid u

#i did get a little worried when i was a teen that when my friend went to college they wouldnt like me much anymore bc i dont drink #just dont be a dick 2 ppl who do drink thats kinda it #maybe its just my esperience but a lot of groups that like go out and party DO want someone sober coming with just in case like drunk ppl #can do some stupid ass shit like ive had friends just WALK OUT OF THE HOUSE AND NOT BRING A PHONE.

Hello! I’ve been admiring your art for a while now from afar, and I’m stoked to see you’ve gotten into bbc ghosts!! I was wondering if you’d consider drawing Humphrey in your style? He’s my favourite character and your historical comic style is a dream. No pressure if not of course!

I've actually been into BBC Ghosts for a couple years now,,, since it first dropped in fact I think? I've just never had the attention span to get through even more than one (1) season although I LOVE it, my brain's shite like that 💀 So finishing season 2 and finally making art is an accomplishment lmao. Anyway if anyone wants to talk about it with me absolutely hmu! Just know I'm really far behind and don't want spoilers 🤡

Rest assured I am eventually going to draw all of them at some point ((I hope!!)) But since ye asked I might as well get stared on Humphrey first. And thank you again darling 🥰 they love me ((my style)) for my ((its)) Horrible Histories swag!!!! 🤡✌️🤡✌️

#Bbc ghosts #Humphrey bone #six idiots #Them there #laurence rickard #Larry rickard #Maybe im making up the horrible histories swag comment up MYSELF from all of u being so bloody lovely #But 1. I am. Very touched whenever ppl actually like my style!!1! #Bc i do mostly traditional art and it's a lot less 'clean' than many art/fanart styles that are ''in'' so it's always reassuring #And 2. Ive gotten a couple nice comments about my style on the other ghosts pieces too AND a memory of #Someone in college saying my style reminded them of horrible histories so??? Im hoping maybe thats where it all clicks :''')

I love learning ASL it’s so good. Makes me happy to learn it. I’m so glad my university has classes for it with professors actually steeped in Deaf culture.

#blue chatter #am I good at ASL? hahahahahahaha. no. #ASL and English grammar are incredibly different and even when I remember my vocab I am easily clockable as hearing #but I do have some language capacity now. enough to communicate the basics. #and I just. genuinely really enjoy it. it’s fun to learn and engaging in a way most of my classes just aren’t. #and I can. yanno. communicate respectfully w Deaf ppl. and learn about their culture #which is incredibly important given that I want to go into a field where there is a higher incidence than typical of Deaf people #autistic? you’re more likely to be Deaf! #not to mention the fact that sign language can sometimes be a useful alternative to speech for nonspeaking/nonverbal people #depending on the person obvi; some nonspeaking/nonverbal autistics cannot use sign language and that’s okay #but surely at some point I will encounter either a Deaf client or a nonspeaking/nonverbal client who uses ASL #and when that time comes I should have some idea of how to communicate with them #I also rly like the Deaf church by my parents’ house #their community is really welcoming and their services are really interesting #I think it’s rly cool how they take intentions directly from the congregation #they’ll raise their hands and then sign what their intention is from their pew to the ambo #which is rly neat #it is funny bc every time I go the Deaf ppl I talk to will tell each other ‘go slow she’s hearing’ #which is ENTIRELY fair bc. I am hearing. and I do need them to go slower. #but it also makes me laugh bc truly everyone knows within a few minutes. #oh hey the new person? they’re hearing. yeah they’re learning ASL at college. sign slowly for her. #which again makes sense bc a big Deaf culture thing is keeping ppl informed. it’s not gossip it’s getting everyone on the same page. #Deaf ppl do NOT beat around the bush that is like the height of rudeness to them. u say what u mean goshdangit. do not waste their time. #which I appreciate the heck out of bc i don’t have to try and phrase things delicately or w/e #it was also funny bc my mom came w me while I was home for Christmas and they asked her if I was her kid #and she said yes. and the lady running the kid’s craft corner thing was like ‘great you’re doing a craft now’ #and I’m sitting there. visibly over 18 years old. amongst several seven year olds. trying desperately to figure out how to say hot glue gun #I made a v pretty pinecone tree it was a lot of fun ^-^

society if hoo had them at uni age and the lost trio went to chb and chiron is like "how tf are ANY of u alive and unclaimed". wilderness was just community college.

#on a serious note this changes a lot actually. annabeth and percy would not be in chb anymore so when percy goes missing #its like. a genuine possibility and fear because demigods don't make it that old. there is also some added time between tlo and tlh as well #further adding to jasons isolation as being even WEIRDER than everyone else. he also would've been praetor for longer so maybe the romans #wouldve cared more. this also does away with the plot hole of ppl not giving a shit that jason piper and leo (and dylan) straight up #dipped. introducing piper especially to a summer camp makes chb less appealing because they're too old for that and thus makes their #departure from chb make more sense in toa. yet also it opens up the possibility of new rome uni.... which i cannot see any reason as to why #leo would not go there!!!!! outside of being banned cuz he bombed new rome lol. but pipers sexuality arc works for college too!!! ur never #too old to find urself. but also this is the question of if you are able to relatively function in society (this is more for piper leo fran #and i guess percy) then why would you even fight this prophecy??? anyway lol them being college aged is perfect cuz percy is literally #going to a new place and having a new transition with new ppl... like u do in college LOL. now the question is would hazel still be 13. nic #is a lot older at this point and perhaps has the same age gap as bianca and him did 🤔 cant remember. but also don't know why hazel was 13 #in the first place lol. idk. in my college hoo she is just a senior in hs about to graduate from spqr and thinking about staying there or #possibly going to newru after seeing frank make the decision the previous year! SAD! #anyway in hoo. percy and annabeth are sophomores. frank and the lost trio are freshman. #but then in toa. percy annie frank and the lost trio are all graduating cuz percy got held back and Annabeth failed after tartarus fr. #but then also know that piper never went to newru and is adamant about going to mortal uni. and leo kills in newru but is bored. nvm i #forgot he died 🧍‍♂️ ummmmmm ok. ignore leo. and jason actually. so um. ok that really threw me off but are u getting it. that's when apollo #is like 'heeyyyyy i need help pwease 🥺' and they're all like 'dude.' #OK! #but also i ackowedge that this is a children's book and i am not its demographic so god be with you.

When people are like “the only time I skipped class in college was–“ THE ONLY TIME???? IN COLLEGE???? Like hs is one thing sure ok it can be a lot harder but IN COLLEGE? WHEN YOUR BED IS RIGHT THERE? makes me realize someone is lead very different lives.

#like good lord. so many of my skipped classes wre bc I literally just didn’t wanna get out of bed. and didn’t fucking care #but not the point! the point is in all four years you only skipped one class. sorry I’m just in awe. #and like ok to be fair there’s a lot of ppl who really do take college very very seriously and as an opportunity for them to better #themselves and their families and obviously there’s nuance and some ppl view it as like I am paying for this I am squeezing every last penny #which also fair. again. nuance. but you rlly never once said I’m quite sad and it’s 9 am I’m going back to bed. damn.

Bishova Poll Marathon! (9/10)

this was a hot debate on the bird app, i can't wait to see what y'all say here. (i did use some of the reasons ppl gave on twitter, just so the playing field is even)

masterpost

[previous poll] [next poll]

#bishova #kate bishop #yelena belova #kate x yelena #yelena x kate #bishova poll #bishova poll marathon 1 #kate bishop drinks frat boys under the table every friday night change my mind you CANT. #and i do see where ppl are coming from w yelena being smol bc i am also a smol #HOWEVER #i do think tall ppl underestimate us bc #technically the key to drinking a lot is to eat while you drink and to take water breaks #and i think yelena knows exactly how to do that and pace herself #kate though? i dont think she paces herself at all #i think she didn't drink till college and has tried to prove herself bc of it ever since #but i could be wrong #maybe her mom let her drink wine w dinner or maybe she partied in high school #but i very much think yelena is winning in this one #but it'll be a close contest ! #clint will probably have to step in like 'can we please not die of alcohol poisoning and can i please not clean up two sets of vomit' #or in an au where everyone is alive natasha just walks in and chugs what's left just like in parks & rec laksdf

I wanna say since like maybe 2022 Ive found it increasingly harder to read like comics and in 2024 I would like to try and read comics more frequently again but I think it will follow the path instead Ive already been going on which is reading indie comics webcomics and manga and other forms (Ive been pondering getting into European comics too especially Eastern European comics) of non Big Two American Cape comics like Marvel or DC. I think Ive finally reached a proper like burn out stage for MarvelDC content but I still love comics. I will always love comics and that includes Superheroes. I just need to first read comics that will remind me why exactly I love it you know

Anyways if anyone has any good recommendations, hmu ✌️

#dinu yells into the void #dinu yells in the void #I hate posting on tumblr but it felt weird writing this out anywhere else #like im still gonna read the weekly updates for the runs im reading #and ill probably check out still some older comic stuff from dcmarvel #but I really do need to like branch out my comic palette. I cant keep going on like this #i think spiderman old spiderman is thr only comics stuff ive been consistently reading and been invested in but ive run out of steam #theres also the caveat I started playing video games a lot more again #and I also am trying to read more traditional novels again like phantom of the opera swear to god ill finish it #and idk a bunch of other stuff this post isnt very coherent #i guess this is just a heads up for ppl who followed me for marveldc stuff that im probably not gonna get back to that stuff soon #live weirder and living freakier and whatever the hell #okay peaceeeee i have to do college work and then get back to my new bestie digimon

if i dont move to nyc or london or paris by age 27 what is the point of anything

#i looooove my city so much you guys like if i wasnt who i am (queer) rn i would be so fucking glad that i am in my current city but #i loooove art and history and fashion and stuff and this citymight be about second best for all that but its still soo crowded #people WILL judge no matter what you wear something cutesy and people dont shut up especially when ur 16 and tagging along with your mom to #the mall or something and everyone just stares and even among your classmates ive been complimented so many times #for my unique style or whatever (aka i have beaded shoelaces and wear lots of jewelery and absurd ass eyeliner) and theyre like oh #n******** is so fancy itni stylish bandi hai woh and its so attention grabbing but i dont want it to be a big deal !!! #i want to like 20 badges and wear insane makeup and dye my hair without calling much attention to myself!!! #of course i know that will change slowly as you go in to uni and meet ppl of your type instead of a bazaar market and youll pick ur own #friends who r like minded but considering this is india how many people can you truly find. #also my next two years are going to be spent in a college for jee and neet kids #you can wear what you want theres no dress code but you have to appear serious studious and simple if you want to be taken seriously #elle woods at harvard law type #i asked my mom to get an industrial & second lobe piercing and actual dyed hair and shes like turn twenty get into a good college then do #not bc she minds she allowed me to get my hair dyed at age 13 but to go in th college im going to there is SO SO much rigour #and if you dont show yourself as professional and shit they will keep you in lower effort self study classes instead of best of the best #i KNOW how difficult moving abroad is bc my family does not have that money i need to do it myself its so so expensive bc the money #itself has such a high value compared to here (you see americans cribbing abt 30$ hourly wage but here that is 2500inr) #2500 inr is as much as an expensive pair of jeans here. expensive clothes here r 30$ and in usa its 300$ . see the diffence #im changing topics so much but sometimes i do feel this place is suffocating #its a priviledge i have that i can even think about going abroad comapred to other indians but still #dp you get what i mean #and ik movies and all are very romanticised so it might not even be this way in western cities and just an idealisation but still #if things change around here then the entire question of going anywhere is out the window anyway #smalltown boy will byers moment #dni if you read all this and plan on replying unless ur a close mutual (close mutuals u know who u are) #also if someone says why would you want to go to usa uk paris when they colonised your country shut up <3 shut up very much <3

i remember seeing posts a while ago like “daddy issues make u dye ur hair but mommy issues make u a murderer” and that’s NOT TRUE!!!

mommy issues made me realize familiy is not who im born with but who I CHOOSE!!! mommy issues also made me realize some ppl aren’t worth my time!! I dye my hair cuz im gay!!!!!!

#nnstuff #this post aint serious BUT it also reminds me of this weird idea a lot of ppl have #that serial killers are Like That cuz theyre moms were mean to them or something #but like bro theyre just misogynists who can get away with shit it doesnt matter if tehir moms were mean or not #theyre killers cuz they have the privilege to do that shit #my mom was mean to me and im not a misogynist OR a serial killer crazy I KNOW #mommy issues #daddy issues #to be honest i like my dad more than my mom nowadays but thats mostly cuz he shows his love thru money #and boy do i need money for college

Just realized why the way so many academics and professionals (and people online but I mostly try to ignore them) talk about personality disorders leaves such a bad taste in my mouth even when they have good and insightful opinions on other disorders and I think so much of it is that. The focus of personality disorders when they’re being discussed is how it impacts the people around and much less on how it impacts the actual people with the disorder. When you go into a discussion of PTSD in an academic setting typically what gets discussed is the way it will manifest in the person who has it and maybe how to help a loved one with it will get mentioned or how they might respond to you doing certain things but in general the focus is on how it looks from their perspective. This is the case for most disorders (when the people leading these discussions are having them in good faith) but for some reason personality disorders are so consistently discussed as behavior-based. The things that impact others are talked about and the thought process behind the behaviors is rarely discussed and when it is, it typically villainizes the people with it (ESP for the “scary” ones like NPD or APD). We know that there is a strong correlation between abusive/neglectful childhoods and the development of a personality disorder and we know that personality in general is deeply influenced by the environment we were raised in (it is very hard to make a decision you don’t know is an option and have never seen modeled or especially that you have tried and was shown to be unsafe) and yet there is little to no discussion of the way that can influence a personality disorder.

#and now maybe this is discussed at higher levels academically I’ll admit I am. at a community college getting an associates degree. #however. I think that if you are going to discuss disorders like pds and you aren’t going to talk about the environmental factors of their #upbringing and the way that. in many ways. pds are ‘evil’ ptsd. you’re doing a disservice to your students and ppl with pds. #anyway I just punched a bag until I cried so I feel a lot better and this is something I’ve been thinking about but couldn’t put into words #tldr I am consistently disappointed in how my cool and very genuinely insightful profs go off the rails as soon as pds are brought up #psychposting

ok just to like paint a picture so. today i woke up at 9 and went to my morning class (was a little bit late) then i got brunch and canceled therapy (was a whole Ordeal trust me..) for like an hour or over idk, then i went back home to work on this research paper & got some food from a local café, then i went to a meeting i had and then walked to my friends workplace and we walked back and then i kind of have just lazed around and im watching my friends show from 1-2. and then TMRW i have a thing early afternoon & a d+d session for like five hours until 10 pm basically and then im probably sleeping in bc of the whole 1-2 thing. And then tmrw i have basically nothing but i then have to call my family bc i havent in a while and i need to do all of my homework. so needless to say this has been a hell of a semester start

#nightmare.personal #There is a 2 week period in which i have an event every other day #so like when ppl talk about not really having freetime in college like #i spend a good amnt of time w my friends Like a lot of time but also. solo time ? very little #On mon & wed i have back to back 3 classes i wake up at like 8:30 w like tiny breaks in between so like #i have my big friend meal right after bc of the back to back ness (on wed i also get dinner later w other friend) #and then immediately after food i go to my friends dorm and we study for like whatever like basically the entire night bc it just- #-devolves eventually to socialization ? #And then tues thurs i have big gaps and later class starts BUT i also have been scheduling like office hrs #but those days r fine and a lot more solitary. and i get a super nice breakfast But like past that ? #idk. idk! i have so many fucking org things like i have shit on tues nights now 2 a month #and then my other thing and its like. Its all worth it but also fuck fuck fuck u know #so its been exhausting. fun but like. idk I need less shit on weekends i think #like i need to do work on sunday but also zero socialization
