oh! oh oh oh. i never showed ya’ll how big a blue whale skull is, hold on
I want to be a little raccoon and live there :(
That’s not a blue whale skull. The shape is too narrow, its also far too small. That’s probably the skull of a Sei, Bryde’s or small fin whale.
THIS is a blue’s skull!!
Oh my gosh this fucker could fit so many racoons
If your symptoms, mental, emotional or physical are making it difficult for you to carry out basic tasks I want you to know I love and understand you.
If you haven't been able to brush your teeth or shower or wash your face in a while because of your symptoms I want you to know you aren't disgusting or gross, you're sick and you're struggling and you're trying your best and that's okay.
If you haven't been able to make yourself a "proper" meal or have only been able to eat "junk" that's okay and you're valid and I'm still proud of you for nourishing your body despite how difficult it might be.
If you've been wearing the same clothes or pyjamas for a few days - Heck even maybe a few weeks - that's okay because it is fucking difficult sometimes and that's okay.
Obviously it's important to try and do or avoid doing these things when you can but if you are currently not at a stage where you can, that's okay, and I am proud of you for doing whatever it is you can do, even if it's just waking up and scrolling on your phone for a while. Things will get better, either through you getting better if possible or through other people helping you do these things (and there is absolutely no fucking shame in that!).
bad news is that i have spent years cultivating the ability to pass as a normal social person in public only for it to be largely undone by 2020. the good news is that everyone else is ALSO out of practice so me being a giant weird is excusable
the context of this is that i shook someone's hand for the first time in years and i went about it in the weirdest weird possible and was like "sorry that was a pretty hesitant hand shake" and he replied "no it's okay. it was nice and warm." no offense but what the F U C K kind of conversation is that
we’re really at that point in the year where no one cares about anything huh
My psych professor mentioned swaddling in lecture so I emailed him a picture of me being swaddled in my dorm room and asked if I could get extra credit because it was really hot in there and I got really sweaty and he was like “fabulous, sure”
I’m going to miss the Honors Advisor from my university.
This is definitely my favorite email i’ve recieved from a professor, with the subject line “back at it”.
Need Tumblr to understand that you are a marine biologist only if you study lads and urchins in the seas and oceans. If you study hooligans and whippersnappers in a lake or river you are in fact not a marine biologist, you are a limnologist.
Are there any benefits to being a limnologist?
The benefits to being a limnologist are limnited
40-year-old man: "Why won't you consider dating someone who's 40 years old?"
20-year-old woman: "Why won't you?"
40-year-old man: (head explodes)
hitting the “ask app not to track” button when an app asks permission to track me across the web knowing it isn’t going to listen & it is 100% an illusion of choice
‘relationships are work’ means ‘you have to put effort into loving each other intentionally & learning how to love each other and communicating properly’ not ‘your relationship makes you feel stressed and sad most of the time & the other person disrespects you and treats you bad but you stay anyway’
When you have fibromyalgia so you think a particular area of pain isn't worth mentioning even though it's getting worse, and then you finally get it checked and it turns out your tendons were repeatedly snapping out of place and you've just been carrying on with your daily grind pushing through the excruciating pain thinking it's just how things are for you and wondering why you're such a whiney baby
Honestly, probably the best social tip I could ever give you guys is literally just ask. Need to make a doctor's appointment but don't know how? Call the doctor's office and ask. Don't know the meaning of what someone said? Ask them. Don't understand the instructions you were given? Ask them to repeat or clarify. This has literally never failed me, no one's gotten angry, no one's refused to answer.
Even in situations where you think it might not work, I once accidentally missed a deadline to accept a job offer, so I called and asked if they could reset it and they did. Just today I called a doctor and asked how to schedule an appointment, the lady told me how, and then I did it. Didn't know if someone was being sarcastic or not, so I asked and they told me. Just ask.
Poll: if your mom remarries when you’re 26 years old is that guy still your stepdad or is he just your mom’s husband.
The poll winner seems to be “depends on whether you like him” which is super valid.
Mine watches fox news so “mom’s husband” it is!
My family has a great way of distinguishing between a new spouse you like and new spouse you disdain!
Your mom/aunt/grandma/etc remarries and they are actually a cool person, you use their first name. So if you were to introduce them they would be: Aunt Jane and Bob.
If your mom/aunt/grandma/etc remarries and they are a fuckwad you introduce them as: this is Aunt Jane and her second husband. The implication being that they are very replaceable and that we’re all just waiting for her to wise up to the situation and serve you divorce papers, she did it once, she can do it again.
MAGNIFICENT
Alright, but what if my mom on her third marriage found a decent man, but my mother herself is shitty
"my stepdad's wife"
