This is my college and one of the programs they're looking to cancel is literally the entire fine art diploma program.

This is not only one of the most popular programs in the school with some of the highest satisfaction scores, but is also one of the only affordable art programs on the island with transferable college credits. If they cancel this I either have to change my entire program or go to UVIC or VIU, neither of which are very accessible to me.

Very disappointing. They also only let us know this past Tuesday for a decision to be made by the end of January, so we have very little time to speak out.

people have this tendency to believe that fandom discourse exists because people in fandoms are Stupid Nerdy Losers, but in fact fandom discourse exists because anytime you get a group of more than 100 people together, they will start creating interpersonal bullshit. fandom is not special in this regard

I bet there's at least one guy who uses a wheelchair who became a sneakerhead just for the laughs. Wearing pristine bright white brand shoes like "if you let your shoes touch the ground you're a bitch. If you keep them on display and never wear them, you're a coward. I'm the only one doing this correctly. Fuck you, get on my level."

I think Supreme Court approval was like 60%+ right before GW Bush and now it's around 40. They're responding to that collapse in legitimacy by publicly serving as a hack squad for a historically unpopular president. You get the feeling everyone is ripping the copper wiring out of the walls

Your reminder to brush and floss today! Every little bit makes a difference, pls try.

And remember that your dentist can help you find strategies to help you brush and mitigation strategies for when it’s hard.

HI MY DENTIST REALLY UNDERSTOOD MY DEPRESSION AND GAVE ME THE FOLLOWING TIPS

- After each meal, rinse your mouth with water. This isn’t a replacement for brushing teeth nor flossing, but if you do this it can really help improve your oral health.

- You can swallow that water too!!! Especially helpful if you struggle with hydration.

- She recommended those little floss picks with two strings of floss. Also, they can be used multiple times!!! I typically get about five uses out of one pick and rinse between uses.

- Put that pick around your toothbrush as a reminder to floss :)

Remember poor oral health can not only cost you a fortune later in life it can also contribute to cardiovascular disease and worsening depression. Am I perfect? Nope! We are all in this together ❤️

things that have helped my depressed routine-adverse ass:

1-there is no Wrong time to brush your teeth.

2-travel toothbrush and fluoride-free toothpaste in the car so i can stop on the side of the road and brush when i realize ive forgot.

3- there is no wrong time to brush your teeth

4- sugar free gum. i keep some everywhere as an oral stim too. i even have some in my nightstand to help when ive forgotten to brush before bed. (do not do this. you will loose gum in your bed.)

Taking up Japanese as a side project for myself has reminded me of something.

So like a long time ago I had a professor that I absolutely adored. She happened to be Japanese American. She grew up speaking Japanese at home but never really spent a lot of time in Japan. She mostly spoke with other Japanese Americans and read books.

So one day early in her teaching career there’s an exchange student from Japan who’s having a hard time understanding a concept so she explained it to him in Japanese and then he looked absolutely rattled. Like in shock. Pale.

This is how she learned that the way she speaks Japanese makes her sound like a gang member.

Japanese doesn’t exactly have cuss words in the same way as English does but imagine that the nicest professor you’ve ever had pulls your paper over and says “Okay listen here you little piece of shit I’m gonna fucking explain this to you. Violently.”
