PHILOSOPHIKA

Hello fish nation, please enjoy some silly gouache fish paintings

Take care of yourselves everyone 💚🏳️‍🌈

Thinking about Helena Eagan, who grew up her father's daughter, watch a version of herself on camera be braver and kinder than she's ever been. Thinking about Helena Eagan who said her innie wasn't a person, until her innie had experiences she could never have, and she realizes she doesn't like who she is on the outside. Thinking about Helena Eagan, who got brain surgery for her father, and found a version of herself that isn't her father's daughter.

Genius

I love it when pets do the thing where they've clearly figured out that certain steps result in an outcome, but they can't quite DO it themselves.

The cat understands that their food is in this container, and that their human gets it, and brings it to the dishes, and then there's food.

But having no thumbs has prevented them from their triumph.

I on the other hand love that he insists on using the bowl even though he could probably just rip/chew a hole in the bag.

Which indicates that he's probably not quite sure WHICH of the steps are crucial so he's earnestly repeating them all.

(kids do this too - it's called overimitation and there are experiments on it.)

An attempt was made.

I made a sideblog to house all my SIoC things, so to advertise that, here's my cringe (affectionate) redraw of the Durarara!! ending only with OCs that everyone and their mother was doing back in the 2010's

OMGG this is genius and SO beautiful😍

Wizard Howl’s castle was rumbling and bumping towards her across the moorland. Black smoke was blowing up in clouds from behind its black battlements. It looked tall and thin and heavy and ugly and very sinister indeed.

it obviously depends on the field but one huge italian university win will always be in person oral exams yes it's excruciating doing a full degree with only like 3 written tests and professors who are insanely moody BUT! at least there is no chatgpt when it's you fighting for your life in that professor's study it's all organic babey. also multiple choice tests shouldn't exist <3 certainly not at university level <3

Ok, I took a couple of oral exams here in Colombia (each worth the entire grade for the course in question), and I absolutely hated them. I need time to think, to course correct, to jog my mind, to rearrange ideas. I can't do that while holding eye contact with an authority figure*tm, let alone an authority figure who thinks women shouldn't study philosophy in the first place. I literally went out of my way to pick classes that did not hold oral exams b/c I 10000000% prefer an 8-hour written exam that's worth 100% of my grade to freestyling theory in my second language. I honestly don't think I'd personally consider oral exams a win.

That said, I do agree about multiple-choice tests (I haven't had one since high school, tho. Do you guys have these at uni?!).

Not where you grew up. Not where you’ll be living soon. Where you’re living right now.

Plz reblog this one actually I wanna get as big of a sampling of tumblr as possible. Reblog at any and all times of the day so we can reach different time zones.

I'm convinced mama dragons carry their babies around in their mouth for protection, like how crocodiles do...
