Researcher story time. In my field there is a certain guy who is known as the most Locked In researcher of an extremely niche field who is a middle aged Japanese man with the longest, most unhinged PowerPoints who tweets every single moment of his life. He even has a pseudonym which is a samurai name that he publishes books under and video tapes all his lectures. His Google Scholar and Twitter account have a dramatic close up of his face and his introduction on every presentation is extremely long. Because of the way he presents and his samurai persona

one reason i like labru is that when it comes to shipping laios with people a question i have is, "are they ready for this?" are they ready to spend their life with laios. you see what being around laios does to people. it drives marcille mad. it drains shuros life. its not a job for the light of heart. it's accepting that you are entering a covenant with a man whose beauty standards are godzilla and those goddamn yugioh dragons. its listening to jay-z's verse on monster for the rest of your life on repeat. this is a task for a seasoned warrior,

this scene has lived rent free in my head for years. idk how im gonna put this into words but its azula's reflection of her mother, constructed from her mind's deepest fears, says "i love you". this paranoid reconstruction of her mother doesnt affirm "i fear you" or "i hate you" like one would expect, and i say expect because the general interpretation of azula is, her pain comes from feeling unloved by her mother. but i feel like this scene cuts deeper than that. azula fears what she cannot control and emotions such as fear and hate- she understands-

#csm157 today was great and reminded me of something I said to a friend in passing. “CSM Part 2 is a coming of age story set to maximum chaos levels” and Asa is the perfect character to tell this story. With each calamity, Asa must step into her shoes and believe in herself.

I love how Asa’s strength in channeling Yoru increases with stronger belief in herself and conviction in her actions. It’s a mechanic Fujimoto uses to mark how true Asa feels that sentiment. In the way Makima gains control by believing she has dominion over someone…

im not gonna lie websites with study advice have never helped me so illl tell it as it is. if you’re cramming late night before the exam expect a C at best. Some people are built differently but don’t assume you are too (hubris.) the trick is you do that allnighter 3 days before The actual test. I force myself to pretend like the test is the next day (three days before.) But it’s not and the next two days it’s like I’m reviewing the aftermath of a catastrophe… getting closer to the knowledge now that panic dissipates and getting adequate sleep

Regarding Mother's Day, I think I'm processing my emotions on how I feel toward my own mother better every day. Our relationship was every bit as turbulent, chaotic as the life she had when war uprooted her from Vietnam into America. I was born to save a marriage without love The following is going to be pretty personal but I figure I rather say it here than in real life.

one time i met someone at a diversity scholarship program for space and one of the kids there was a literal genius. he was a complete space nerd. could probably name every book to check out, reference and then i remembered his diversity statement (cuz i read over these since i used to be part of the program and now do selection) he was the kid whose dad was part of a gang and his parents had him as teenagers. but despite not being together pooled together everything they had

i wonder if kodzuken is the mr beast equivalent in the haikyuu universe “kodzuken kenma” and “mr beast jimmy” have the same kind of ring to it

even though im in so much pain right now that i cant even move and mood's plunged super low... just want to say one reason i dont completely hate life is because of the people ive met in life (even online.) i geninely feel lucky in the friends ive made and things ive experienced even though i used to have a super negative outlook on life and never thought id make it past 20 i realize theres good in even bad days. i still ate something tasty today or i heard a song i liked, or laughed at a stupid joke. idk why im saying this right now high off meds

Since Twitter forces me to stay updated with this all I'm going to say is that I hope that Chrisean Rock is able to get away from the toxicity that is Blueface and Stewie (sorry I don't know her name), safely have her baby, and raise her with love OMFG Man I watched the reality TV show and it is clear that she has experienced nothing but abuse from her parents, Blueface, and the entire media and public. IDC what people think about how she acts but like nobody seems to give this girl any true compassion and love she's just

sometimes it is hard to watch media when one of the characters reminds you of someone you love especially when its someone you currently love

I always wish to go back to Vietnam, but unfortunately everyone I know back there from my family has passed away. So I think the next time I go back, I'll end up saying hi to a bunch of friends. Sometimes I think a lot about what it means to be a Vietnamese person who grew up in another country after being displaced by the war, and something I learned from visiting the country is that a lot has changed. The Vietnam that I was told about doesn't exist anymore. But

literally cannot stop thinking about it. i saw him in person and was like jesus christ hes not ugly IM ugly and the whole time he was so mature and level-headed that i wanted to curl up and die... he was pulling up my tweets and i was just like fighting him but i truly was sorry

FOR EACH LIKE I will give a completely USELESS fact about myself Does anyone else remember Agent Cody Banks? I watched that in the first grade and for about a year, was convinced that I was Agent Cody Banks. Like I even introduced myself as Cody Banks. Just thinking about it makes me cringe to death sometimes

One question I got asked a lot when doing an open forum for "stuff I've learned after living for 25 years" was 'how do you not let other people's accomplishments affect your self-worth' and 'how do you cope with jealousy.' Well this is actually a question I can answer: To preface I grew up in an environment where I was constantly compared to other children. I think at some point my mom even would cry over 'why couldn't XXX be my kid instead of you', teachers and coaches compared me, people in general compare, etc. It's not escapable
