if you don’t know about unpaywall and are researching something or studing or just want to have access to knowledge but don’t go to uni or whatever, it might be pretty helpful. it’s a free, legal browser extension widget thing that unlocks open access academia. it can unlock something like 17 million articles so it’s pretty useful if you want to keep up with academia but don’t have access to institutional repositories or subscription databases.
(sci-hub has more access afaik but yknow. illegally. and unpaywall is still pretty great, especially at pushing subscription databases to make more stuff open access by being a legit example of what pirate repositories have been pushing for so long)
I always got very excited when it would spell out ACDC
OMG SAME FOR BOTH
I always got very afraid when it was the same letter 4 times in a row
when I was 4 or 5, my mom was a prof at a college and she used to hand me the scantron sheet before she wrote the exam and let me colour whatever lettered bubble i wanted for each answer. if i coloured two by accident, she made an ‘all of the above’ option. one time she gave me it and i coloured the ‘a’ bubble for each of the 130 questions except for the second last one and she just went with it
later on, she told me that it was the most entertaining exam she had ever watched her students take
i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:
i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person
im not a pissbaby
my white friends that have reblogged this give me life
4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP
If ur white and like this post I fux with u
^absolutely
5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.
i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this
6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death
Waits for my white mutuals to reblog😌
yesyesyesyes
7. White people explored the world and found every place there were people. They left absolutely no hole unfucked. And then they wanna complain when they can’t use their expired coupons CAROL.
8. I am a white people and I don’t trust white people.
White people offended by white people jokes: Heeeyy, we’re not boring!
PoC offended by PoC jokes: Hey, we’re not murderers, thieves or junkies, stop.
my favorite thing about this is that each of them is walking in a different direction, it’s like these girls are off to conquer the entire goddamn world
They’re gonna meet in the middle
In the middle they will find the avatar, master of all elements and the force:
I really wish there was an option on those Customer Service Surveys that says specifically, “The representative I spoke to was lovely and helpful and deserves all of the raises but I think that you, as a corporation, should die in a fire.”
