1/3 Looking for a job or a better job, or more work? Might I suggest dying your hair some OUTRAGEOUS FUCKING COLOR?!
Formal meeting with the Interim Dean at a local university tomorrow.
"Hi. I'm going through a slight midlife crisis right now, but like - it's the English Department and everyone is supposed to be eccentric right? Emily Dickinson is my favorite poet?"

Every. Goddamned. Time.

That moment you are watching Harry Potter and start to sympathize with shade being thrown by all the professors and staff.

Ya'll. The most GLORIOUS thing happened and couldn't have been better timed if I was in a movie with an award winning special effects crew.
Walking into a local cafe to pick up a sandwich order when some cur entering as I'm leaving says to me, "I'd like to see those titties jiggle over my face."
To which I spun on my heels and at the same time as I barked, "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY?!" a gust of wind blew up making my freshly washed (so it's flowy and shit) blue and purple hair swirl around me and thunder cracked over head.

I have been sucked in to Lifetime's Escaping Polygamy.
This is what happens when I don't have papers to grade.
OHMYGOD. These young kids are all: I need to leave this cult because it's a life or death situation. And the people rescuing them are like, okay we have 2 minutes. And then the kids are all, "HOLD ON. I NEED TO PACK EVERY GODDAMN THING I OWN."
So these young women are helping other young women (and sometimes young men) leave the FLDS cult.

THE LANGUAGE OF GRIEF REVISITED
Mircroburst Essay #6?

One week ago, I said in a thread we lack the language to talk about #dying, #death, & #grief, and that we also lack the #emotions. I said we might need hybrid emotions such as grief-anger; grief-ambiguity; grief-humor.

Here is the link to the thread if you want to get yourself up to speed but it’s really not necessary. I think you can jump in from here.

Anyway, this idea resonated with a lot of people. “Yes,” the masses (okay, maybe the smattering) said, “We need a better language and set of emotions to deal with the welter of the human experience. We lack the words and emotions to discuss and feel these things”

Hi, My name is Xolani. Yesterday I found out that I owe Standard Bank R209 800 for my student loan.

As scary and sobering this is, I am Grateful. 🙏🏿
To help you understand why I am grateful for owing so much money even though I do not have the slightest clue how I am gonna start paying It back I have to give you a bit of a background story.
After finishing High School I wanted to do Air Traffic Controlling. As you know with government schools more specifically township based ones Career Expos are few and far between, even general information about prospective careers is limited.

Hi hi hi everyone! As Natasha mentioned I'll be talking about healthcare and India. A disclaimer before I start: many of my questions have no answers (yet). There's a lot of information we lack and a lot of research that still needs to be done.
So please feel free to chime in with your own info, perspectives, experiences, and questions! DMs are open if you'd rather stay anonymous and my own twitter handle is @GalatFemme.
A stat to start with: India accounts for 18% of global deaths (that's a LOT!) Out of those 36% are because of communicable diseases, maternal+perinatal conditions, and nutritional deficiencies. Another 53% is because of chronic diseases.

Hi, ladies.

Let's talk about growing mediums, specifically for growing vegetables in containers and/or raised garden beds that aren't open to the soil underneath. #browngirlsgarden
#BrownGirlsGarden

When I first started asking around, lots of novice growers said "oh, just put them in some Miracle Grow potting mix, it's so easy!"

Survey on that info from more experienced growers?
Not that Miracle Gro can't be or isn't a great place to start. It can be. But it can't be the only thing you're putting into your containers or raised beds if you want beautiful, bountiful vegetables!

Why? Bc your veggies can only draw nutrients from what you put in there!

I have a degree in philosophy. I didn't have regular access to a computer or the internet until college. At one point, I took a class (ancient Hellenistic religions, if you're curious) where the professor offered a choice for the final project:
Do some research on a topic, present it as either a 20-page paper or a 5-page website. I was a lazy college student, and it was the 90s and everyone was a web person then, so I figured "how hard could it be?"
I found some HTML tutorials, and made a five-page website. Then I kept playing with stuff, learning more HTML and CSS and JS, and the next year my advisor asked if I'd redo his staff page.
