Workshop of Peter Paul Rubens (detail)

that post thats like “you’re not unlovable you’ve just been spending a lot of time alone in your room” is true for everyone but me. i’m unlovable i’ve just coincidentally been spending a lot of time alone in my room

My immediate thought:

The genetically modified grey wolves (NOT dire wolves, those were in a DIFFERENT GENUS) are still wild animals and really shouldn't be kept as pets. We already invented a pet wolf and they're called DOGS.

Shut the fuck up about the dire wolf thing nobody "brought back" anything and you're all gullible dumbasses

Or, if you look at my blog you'll see me disputing Colossal Liars claims and I posted this purely because as a vet tech i loathe Cesar Milan with every fiber of my being and was shocked/horrified that we shared an opinion which is "you can't fucking correctly handle a small breed dog you definitely can't deal with a fucking wolf"

I worked at a shelter at the height of people getting huskies thanks to GOT. People wanted a "dire wolf". And the same people willing to drop an absurd $15k on a fluffy frenchie will absolutely try to purchase themselves a "dire wolf".

the loneliness of consuming god (and the silence that follows)

making a new post bc the old one has lost traction so!

hi! my name is Leo, I'm a trans uni student who's been screwed over by student finance. slightly less screwed than before as they have updated my total but are still reducing 2k from what I should be getting!

It's under the minimum amount due to reductions, and I need 7.6k (not including £100 a month for bills (not including groceries etc!)) for my rent for the year. I have about £500 in my bank atm which is not enough to cover rent, bills or food for this month (by the 19th Dec) so any donations or reblogs would be greatly appreciated <3

some of you think ‘nuanced’ only means ‘morally grey’ and I’m here to tell you that actually straight up good characters can still be nuanced and unapologetically evil characters can still be nuanced. the character doesn’t have to be an anti hero or morally dubious to have depth. they don’t even have to feel sorry about their crimes to have depth.

god I could be so wealthy if I had no ethics. that's so fucking frustrating. I'm living paycheck to paycheck because I'm not grifting vulnerable idiots on TikTok. I feel like I have the ability to very easily scam people. I could make a killing with AI. but god. I have morals and ethics and so I get to be poor as shit. I hate this fucking world

I could have made a killing as a psychic, but noooo I have to feel bad about lying to people ugh

I think abt this all the time because the thing is, evil rich people truly believe that they’re geniuses who have discovered a way to make money that the rest of us dummies haven’t…but the truth is that they are just willing to do evil shit that everyone else would prefer to not to because we have standards

When I attended my graduate school job fair, Raytheon (unprompted, hearing me say my degree at the next table) offered me $230,000/yr to come work for them. That was their opening offer after hearing nothing more than my degree, in a city with a very low cost of living. The only catch was that the job was working on vision systems for missiles. (i.e. those 'targeted' missiles which kill a ton of civilians as collateral or intentional damage)

I ended up taking an $85,000/yr job as an optical research scientist at Corning instead.

It is an odd feeling, having a price put on your soul. I'd be a millionaire with a house by my mid-30s if I'd accepted that. And the offer is still open, in fact I'd have an even more generous one waiting for me with the skills I have now.

In all seriousness, if you have the right skillset, you can actually sell your soul. This very week. You will live in comfort and moderate luxury for all your days. Two of my family members did that work decades ago, until they couldn't stomach it any longer, and it set up the rest of their lives.

But I promise you, it's not worth it. It's been almost 50 years for one of them and it still haunts him. He says the worst part was the way they (him included) talked about human lives as things. Numbers on a spreadsheet, sterile corporate jargon in meetings. A lifetime later and you can still see it in his eyes when he talks about it.

You can't take it back, treating humans like things.

I can’t believe “fake gamer girl” was an actual concept guys thought existed literally the most unfuckable guys who have ever lived were convinced girls were faking being interested in loser nerd hobbies to impress them
