not if faculty starts LICKING ITS ASS AND GETTING ALL BREATHLESSLY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT IT AND ACTING LIKE THEY'VE NEVER *HAD* SO MUCH MORALE**

**views not representative of my employer

holy shit they DO!!!!! don't wanna owe *those two* a favor

Two Mourning Doves at a bird feeder with a built-in camera. One dove is in profile, very close to the camera, and appears to be looking at it, and the other dove is further back, but also looks like it’s staring straight into the lens.

These two Mourning Doves at my feeder cam look like they just rang my doorbell because Tony Soprano sent them to collect a debt I owe.

I support BOTH PLANS

when is your birthday LET'S GET CROWDFUNDING

as someone who's lived in every region of this country, I can confirm that nowhere DOESN'T suck, BUT everywhere also has different strengths, so in terms of what makes the suckitude bearable and even cancels it out sometimes-to-often, it really depends on what you want most out of where you live

fr rl?!?! what will this party entail?

As a New Orleanian I have faith that you can get all the glamor etc. you want on a more reasonable budget (but I don't mean to impose limits on your vision!)

😔

ohhhhh yeah that makes sense. I only post when I'm frantically working on shit and feel *vindicated* if this is a general condition

so was I just not *on here* during last year's 4/20 or did everyone become stoners over the past year

Yes, I have just done a naked forward roll. But there was a good reason Adrian Chiles

Opinion Homes I've no fewer than 17 wooden spoons. But I have a favourite and I'd miss it for ever if it went missing Adrian Chiles

Celebrating 4/20 in your 20’s vs celebrating 4/20 in your 30’s

I LIVED THERE TOO!! omg if you were there between 2007-2010 and I never crossed paths with you I will be SO PISSED

An orange and black monarch butterfly perched on tall thin purple flowers with other red, yellow, and pink flowers in the background

A pristine and very large white magnolia blossom with curled petals surrounded by green and bronze leaves

Today I got to see monarch butterflies and a perfect magnolia blossom 🌱

What brought you back?

YES, me too. I actually had a phone conversation with the creator, Glenn Eichler, when I was 22, and oh my god when I say I remember every second of it.

I WISH WE HAD HUNG OUT IN THOSE DAYS. where did you live when you were a teenager?

wait did you just QUOTE A MYSTIC SPIRAL LYRIC?!?!

💋

YES!!!!! like you don't even need to exaggerate really

please pitch this for real

14-year-old me needs you to know

I FORGOT TO TELL YOU on my walk home today I saw a vulture fly over a graveyard

a little on the nose, GothBird, but also excellently done

gonna start evaluating my stress levels on a scale of 1 to "I had a BLT delivered to my on-campus office at lunch so I could keep working"

echo chamber my ass, CHECK THE DIVERSE REPRESENTATION HERE

need to get my hair cut so it's more "oooh wavy red hair" and less VAN HALEN but oh god the DISTANCE to travel in Ohio to find a hair stylist who's not like "ah straight hair, the only hair"

Ian found someone good by traveling the distance but all plans feel a little overwhelming at the moment

just saw someone capitalize e. e. cummings, broke out in hives

BEAUTIFULLY PUT

YES okay I get what you mean. I think you're right that they didn't care. They knew that no American industry is friendly to creative risk, but they had to tell the story the way they knew the story had to be told. A "safer" version couldn't do what they wanted/needed to do

my guess is they got to a place where they didn't focus on failure. Like, okay it "fails," what does that even mean? NO ONE buys it? Unlikely. Only a few people buy it? That's a few strangers letting you into their brain! You don't make TONS OF MONEY? Hardly any author ever does that from a book

Every AI commercial is like "Hey AI, what goes good on a sandwich?" and then the AI is like "Have you considered... cheese?" And then the narrator is like: THE FUTURE IS HERE.

I wouldn't assume they had no fear of failure, but it didn't hold them back, which is even more exciting I think
