gentle reminder that Alt Text is incredibly helpful for everyone: for those who are visually impaired and for accessibility, for adding additional context and description to an image not fitted in the caption, for better classification in searches, and i personally just enjoy reading them πŸ’œ

This is a profoundly anti-Black country. Not just racist but ANTI-BLACK. It is foundational and everpresent.

Holy shit, you guys, I've been plowing through work emails the last couple days, and my inbox is now down to 67 emails!!! That is the best it has been in probably two years! I've been struggling to keep it under a hundred for the last year, so this honestly feels miraculous.

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

Jonghyun, shirtless and with words painted in black all over his body, has his fist tightly gripping Taemin’s hair. Taemin, in a sparkly black suit, looks pliant and lax, his eyes closed as Jonghyun’s mouth is millimeters from his.

β€œHave Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

I tried that already, and it most certainly did not work. I did have a great experience in grad school! But then I had tens of thousands more dollars of debt and that degree definitely did not fix anything for me. So, you know. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
Red Guy looking way way too happy yells β€œHey Guys! Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?”
Blue Guy next to him calmly says β€œShhh”

Panel 2: 
Blue Guy tenderly puts his arms around Red Guy and says β€œYou don’t have to do this”

Panel 3: 
Blue Guy still holds Red Guy tightly and repeats β€œYou don’t have to do this every year”. Red Guy begins to break.

Panel 4: 
Red Guy dissolves into Blue Guy’s embrace, sobbing. He finally feels the weight of Christmas Discourse lifting from his shoulders. He is finally free.

This cross-pollination IS how new ideas happen. EVERY field needs humanistic thinking, that's why they call PhDs "Doctors of Philosophy"

Taehyung combining the Jungkookian urge to read all the books Namjoon was just reading to prove to him that they have a lot in common with the Jiminish urge to be publicly complimented by the leader of the group in one fell swoop, this is his power. Taking two ideas and innovating

πŸ₯ what does (yoongi’s dad) call jungkookie again?
🐹 baby, baby!
🐰 softie*!
🐿️ softie?
🐰 he really calls me that!

*순λ‘₯이 (soon-doong-ee) comes from 순λ‘₯ν•˜λ‹€ meaning β€˜sweet, gentle, obedient.’ it’s a pet name to the highest degree. like, a countryside name for a puppy, or a beloved youngest daughter
