“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”

dropped the walrus vs fairy question on a group of psychologists today and not only did the majority agree the walrus would be more surprising, the one with the strongest background in research responded to the ‘but fairies aren’t real’ argument with “are your beliefs so inflexible that you’ve never considered you might be wrong about what’s real and what’s not?” and honestly i haven’t recovered

honestly you know what goals

Are you muslim? (if you're comfortable talking about it)

-From a muslim transfem who saw the tags on that "is this dune" post

i am not muslim, though i am a subscriber to the belief (which has been reaffirmed to me several times by many muslim people and publications) that phrases such as inshallah and allahu akbar can and should be used as commonly as phrases like "god willing" and "thank christ". and i love variety in my vocabulary!

You better watch out, buddy – I have extremely unusual life experiences which I mistakenly believe are universal, and I'm about to misinterpret your post in ways you can't even imagine.

the humble "like" is oft mocked despite what it does for us. "like, three people" is a vastly different statement from "three people". "and i was like 'what the fuck'" is vastly different from "and i said 'what the fuck'". i love you "like" and anyone who says you make people sound stupid will be killed on sight

All your life you have lived in a small dark room. But it's OK. There is a huge Meal(tm) for you you eat in the room. So you enjoy your meal and time passes, and you grow-- then one day, when there is no more Meal(tm) to eat, you feel a sleepiness coming over you-- you drift into the longest and strangest sleep of your life.

When you wake up-- everything feels different, your body is different. You have wings! And-- God! You can't stand the little room anymore! Get out! You must fly!

You emerge from the clay chamber made with love by your long dead mother. The light of a early summer day hits your newly minted compound eyes for the first time! The world is vast and full of danger and things to eat! You think it would be a wonderful idea, to find a delicious Meal(tm) and make a little cosy chamber for that Meal(tm) and then place an egg there so that a little one, one like you could enjoy such an excellent start to life.

But first! BOYS!

I am graduating college/university in a couple weeks and I am so scared of everything changing and life becoming dull and lonely and monotonous. My friends who are older have told me it sucks. Would really appreciate any positive words of wisdom or advice or even white lies!!!

hey buddy!!

so i'm not you and you're not me, so i can't 100% promise you anything - the big disclaimer here is that i rather like life being dull AND i did not really like uni lmao, so that might change my stance on things- but holy shit I like not being at uni so much! I like it so much!

i do work and then i'm done with work and i don't have to worry or feel guilty about not revising/ studying! i earn money and then i can spend money on things i want! i have time to figure out who i am and what i like and want without the constant worrying background noise of I Have An Exam Coming Up or I Have To Get This Grade or What Module Do I Pick Next.

i think social things can get a bit harder, but i'm honestly still only close to one person i met at uni (i married him, so that's convenient). the rest of my friends are from work, friends or friends, or similar. i found it way easier to make friends through work than to make them through uni.

when you leave uni/ college you also get a sense of being an adult in a way you didn't before? i think uni is like, a nice transitionary period in that way. you get a lot more freedom but you're also ultimately A Big Kid who can Get In Trouble. you cannot Get In Trouble now. if you don't like your job you can hit da bricks! you don't have to be Grateful For Opportunities or any shit like that- you're an adult, and you are an equal.

as for it getting monotonous, that's kind of totally up to you. i'm not going to act like things like money and location aren't huge huge parts of this- if you have to work long hours to afford rent, it's going to be hard to find the time or motivation to take part in hobbies- but you are also the captain of your own life and now that you are more of an Adult you have more freedom to get weird in any way you want. i am, once again, a very boring person, but since leaving uni i've gotten more into gaming, DM'd a few DnD campaigns, hosted some quiz nights, developed my cooking skills, picked up various hobbies for various durations of time, etc. one of my friends goes salsa dancing weekly and goes to furry cons. another one of my friends loves japan and technology. you can do whatever you want forever.

the change is scary, granted, but change is always scary. that's how we grow, baby!

also my mental health is one trillion times better not being at uni, and the same goes for everyone i've met ngl
