This Desk Has Changed Everything.

what I really love about Fran Fine as a character is that in any other show she would be the comic relief, a two-dimensional bit character who makes occasional appearances and has zero character growth or plot relevance (kinda like Janice from Friends tbh).

But in The Nanny, she is the heroine! A brassy, bold, Jewish girl with a loud voice, working-class accent, and “tacky” clothes. And she always stays true to her roots, never abandoning her family or toning down her look to be more accepted with the uppercrust. Maxwell is the one who lets her into his life and changes his staid, buttoned-up traditional ways after falling in love with the nanny. She is not an MPDG either, the show focuses on her journey and her growth. 

That is really beautiful to me.

Today was a relaxing day given the state of the past few days. I stayed in my dorm primarily working on philosophy as well as explored the city a bit.

I havent seen anyone talk about this yet so im making a post. 

So lets say you’re researching something for a paper (or just for fun) and the research paper you want to read is behind a paywall, or the site makes you create an account first, or makes you pay to download, or limits you to only 5 free articles, or otherwise makes it difficult for you to read what you want.

do not fear! copy the link to the article

go to sci-hub.se         (the url is always changing so its best to check out whereisscihub.now.sh to find what the current url is)

slap the article link in there

bam! free access! 

Day 1

I doubt anyone will read this but,

I’ve always envied people in studio ghibli movies and their ability to just enjoy the small things in life. I have recently decided to stop envying them and start living my life in a way that I enjoy. My bus ride seems less stressful and enjoying the scenery has brought me a sense of peace before class that nothing else has.

Look at these babies 😭 they always want to cuddle. We got them one big dog bed to share (the blue heart in the first photo) and they love it. They just snuggle up together on top and go to sleep.
