“How dare they be comfortable with what they are?!”

Just hidden away as to not bother people, this song means the actual world to me. The people who provided input and helped with the things chosen to make it, it's invaluable. Not to mention the love behind the project from CJ is immeasurable and it is beyond nice to see a cis queer man love his trans brothers, sisters, and siblings as much as he does. It's a breath of fresh air in this current world that is so so harsh. Please consider listening to this song.
giving all 5 of you colorful leaves

rb this post to give the person u rbed it from a pretty fall leaf :]
There’s a scientific journal called “Get me off Your Fucking Mailing List”.
In 2005, computer scientists David Mazières and Eddie Kohler created this highly profane ten-page paper as a joke, to send in replying to unwanted conference invitations. It literally just contains that seven-word phrase over and over, along with a nice flow chart and scatter-plot graph.
An Australian computer scientist named Peter Vamplew sent it to the International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology in response to spam from the journal. Apparently, he thought the editors might simply open and read it.
Instead, they automatically accepted the paper — with an anonymous reviewer rating it as “excellent” — and requested a fee of $150. While this incident is pretty hilarious, it’s a sign of a bigger problem in science publishing. This journal is one of many online-only, for-profit operations that take advantage of inexperienced researchers under pressure to publish their work in any outlet that seems superficially legitimate.
Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem
Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao
so there was a tornado watch today (i'm in CST btw) and we weren't allowed to leave until 4:45. so got out of school an hour earlier. sirens were kinda freaking us out. we're fine though. i think. if tornado hits us by surprise we're screwed. i live in a trailer.
i was seeing all these little blue flowers everywhere and kept thinking "dang what are these bitches, i can't remember..." well guess what. they were fuckin forget-me-nots. can't believe i failed step fucking 1, the hot girls on iNaturalist are going to laugh at me and i'm gonna flunk out of hobby botany school.
useless fact about me: for the first 10 or so years of my life i REFUSED to try chocolate truffles because my thought process was truffle → mushroom → is that chocolate covering a mushroom then? → no i dont want to eat mushrooms → "no i don't want truffles" it was only when i was 12-ish i realized it was chocolate encased in chocolate.
