I Did In Fact Get Some Sexual Encounters Ruined By Laughing

What if I'm judged by pretty based and smart humans actually

Do vampires even get fatter from drinking blood? Do they have fat deposits?

Doodle of Astarion going from starved and newly freed to eating better and getting chubbier

Controversial, but i'm six-pack hater. Out of romanceable male companions only Wyll should be allowed to have defined abs. Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.

Looks more like malicious compliance, leaving obvious traces of censorship, than a hack job

"This is a phone alarm. One of those is enough to wake a grown man"

"How many did you set?"

How do you manage time blindness?

Me whenever I have to go somewhere:

Those are my morning alarms. They allow me to get ready for work without losing track of time.

And somehow, I sometimes still manage to leave late.

The leftover Dog Residue can be used to farm infinite gold

I just reduced a dog to its base components (dog powder, binding reagent) with alchemical techniques

My cooking gas ran out. It's the middle of the night, and I can't get another canister. I'm a tea addict. And I haven't taken out the trash for a few days, so I have a lot. The solution is obvious. I'm pretty sure this ends in -core, but I don't know what it starts with

things that happened to me when i was a woman in STEM:

an advisor humiliated me in front of an entire lab group because of a call I made in his place when he wouldn't reply to my e-mails for months

he later delegated part of my master's thesis work to a 19-year old male undergrad without my approval

a male scientist at a NASA conference looked me up and down and asked when i was graduating and if i was open to a job at his company. right before inquiring what my ethnicity was because i "looked exotic"

a random male member of the public began talking over me and my female advisor, an oceanographer with a pHD and decades of experience, saying he knew more about oceanography than us

things that have happened to me since becoming a man in STEM:

being asked consistently for advice on projects despite being completely new to a position

male colleagues approaching me to drop candid information regarding our partners / higher ups that I was not privy to before

lenience toward my work in a way I haven't experienced before. incredible understanding when I need to take time off to care for my family.

conference rooms go silent when I start talking. no side chatter. I get a baseline level of attention and focus from people that's very unfamiliar and genuinely difficult for me to wrap my head around.

like. yes some PI's will still be assholes regardless of the gender of their subordinates but, I've lived this transition. misogyny in STEM is killing women's careers, and trans men can and do experience male privilege.

This is leftist culture
