I joked about this earlier but I'm curious now:
doesn't matter if you remember any of it now
See yeah, 200 people (at the time of this reblog) is obviously neither definitive nor likely representative of tumblr at large, but I do not think I would get a 45% yes rate to this question in many other forums. 😂
Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.
Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.
I mean, if someone wrote that to me, I’d probably believe they were sick.
“Slutantions” has me crying laughing
i once emailed my professor with a migraine. a mistake.
“I amsick will not to choir because i have a heache. i Hope its very and i am so sorry
love,
blue”
the subject line was “OW”
THE SUBJECT LINE IS THE BEST PART JSJFJSJDJS JUST IMAGINE GETTING AN EMAIL WITH NO CONTEXT OTHER THAN “OW”
As someone who has taught college, please send those emails because 1) We WILL believe that; no one would write that on purpose and 2) we need a laugh sometimes.
On the other side of this, once after getting taken to the ER by ambulance, I got an email from the professor whose class I’d passed out in, and the message had no text, just the subject line “you good?”
Reblogging for the last addition
Claritin makes me weird, but I have allergies so there’s about a month and a half block of time where I’m taking Claritin and am just weird most of the time.
Anyway, my last year of college, I got the flu or something in late March and was also taking Mucinex. I told my professor I couldn’t come to class one day by email except I couldnt think of what to say, so my medicated ass decided to make a Fry meme. I think it said something like “Not sure if I can go to class with a head the size of Texas, bottom text.” I didn’t think until the next day that it probably wasn’t socially-acceptable to tell your philosophy professor you weren’t coming to class via Tumblr style memes. When i got back to class, i found that she’d printed it out and taped it to the classroom bulletin board.
Oh shit you guys i turned on my WinXP laptop that I used to use back then.
IT WAS ON THE DESKTOP. THIS IS WHAT I SENT.
It’s even worse than i remember it
I laugh myself hoarse every time this post comes around, so here it is again.
Once emailed a professor from my hospital bed high on painkillers after a really bad car crash which my heart actually stopped the email “Dead cant class sory”
i was very sick over new years and one day i woke up to find i had emailed my manager in the middle of the night:
she said it was the most beautiful sick email she’s ever gotten
The body IS relentless 😔
Watching “The Fellowship of the Ring” for the first time. Yes, really. Gandalf’s tits are smaller than I was led to believe
absolutely hate it when I wake up tired like what the fuck did I lie unconscious for
Something nobody told me about caffeine is that you can get withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it
Like
I went from consuming NO caffeine, to slowly escalating to around 150-300mg of caffeine a day to keep up with sleep issues, to suddenly stopping cold turkey when I flew out to the middle of nowhere and couldn’t get more and it was straight up a solid 5-6 days of thinking I had the flu
Nausea, spins, major fatigue, and some seriously heinous headaches
It was so bad that after two weeks without I swore I’d never pick up an energy drink again and made an appointment with a doctor to fix my sleep issues
Like. Not to be all “oooooh your body is a temple” but if I knew quitting CAFFEINE had similar effects as running out of my prescription meds I might have been a bit more careful drinking it in the first place
I'm sorry. My soapbox has been activated.
Caffeine is a
And don't get me wrong, I love drugs. I think they're rad. I think there should be fewer barriers between most drugs and adults using them.
However, something that I think is fundamentally immoral is giving someone a drug without telling them:
- That it's a drug
- What the full possible effects of the drug are including side effects
- What the withdrawal effects are like
And society treats caffeine like it's not a drug. We act like it's not a stimulant. We sell it on street corners. We sell in schools, to children.
We don't tell you what the withdrawals are like. We don't even acknowledge that there will be any, even though they can be severe.
In addition to what OP listed, other possible withdrawal symptoms include:
- Hand Tremors
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Brain Fog
- Low Mood
- Insomnia (yes, counterintuitive as it may seem this is common withdrawal symptom)
- Muscle Pain/Stiffness
Caffeine is a stimulant drug that causes physical dependency quite rapidly. The withdrawal symptoms can persist for days to months.
I reiterate that I think drugs are cool. I'm drinking a caffeinated beverage as I type this. But I feel strongly that we should treat drugs like they're drugs. We should not pretend that the legality of a substance negates its status as A Drug™
All things are coolest when they're used wisely and with understanding.
Also the horrors🧱
Extra bricks up for grabs -> 🧱🧱🧱🧱
(actually if anyone quotes this with a specific tag I will edit it on as a treat)
They don’t look so good..
Biblical levels of greed btw
I think we can stop throwing bricks at them, the blorbo is DOWN.
ENOUGH
“Ooughh…”
YAY!! The loop has reset and the blorbo is once again safe from the horrors <3
I was scrolling through tiktok and heard "Ea-Nasir" and I knew I had to share lol
got a new lighter. it’s shaped like a fish and it blinds you.
it had a huge sticker on it that said “this is not a toy”. the gas station i got it from had a sign infront of the display for these only that said “buy first, then test”. the first time you strike it (from the fins, by the way) you find out exactly why. they have added incredibly bright flashing blue LED lights on the eyes, which point directly into your eyes and the eyes of whoever is looking anywhere close to the fish that makes you blind.
a friend of mine was like “you can probably take this apart and cut the wires so it doesn’t do that anymore” and i told her “no i can’t. i can’t do that” and she was like “???why not?????????”
it’s just too fucking funny. this is the stupidest thing i own. thinking about that gas station clerk with like 50 more of these fucking things thinking “how the fuck am i gonna get rid of these?” makes me loose it. setting up the sign and i was literally the first person to buy one.
who thought this was a good idea.
This might be a hot take but, I'm convinced that Carrot wouldn't be the one to take over command of the watch after Vimes retires. It'd be Angua. She and Vimes are so similar, both in temperament and worldview, and just the way they handle police-related problems.
Like. That's such a Vimes way of looking at things. And much like him, she doesn't let her cynicism stop her from doing her job, she uses it as fuel. She doesn't have the same ties to Ankh-Morpork that Vimes does, but she's fiercely loyal to Carrot, who effectively *is* the city.
And the bit at the end of men at arms where Carrot himself explains to Vetinari why it shouldn't be him commanding the watch - people should follow orders because they're given by a commanding officer, not because they're given by Carrot. Angua doesn't have that charisma that makes people like her and do what she says; she just has intelligence and willpower and a good, disillusioned understanding of how people work. Not to mention all the thematic parallels we see between her and vimes and their struggles with restraining their inner beast (literal or metaphorical).
Idk, it seems such an obvious choice to me. I think if Vimes ever managed to actually retire, the only person in whose hands (paws?) he'd be comfortable leaving the watch would be her.
(also the post of commander comes with the title of Knight and "sir Angua" would be hot as fuck)
This is how Game of Thrones ended, fight me.
