  • Laziness Does Not Exist

    good read for teachers.

    […] When a person fails to begin a project that they care about, it’s typically due to either a) anxiety about their attempts not being “good enough” or b) confusion about what the first steps of the task are. Not laziness. In fact, procrastination is more likely when the task is meaningful and the individual cares about doing it well.

    I’ve been yelling this for years

    “tumblr thinks this” “tumblr users act like that” the only thing all tumblr users do is look at posts.

    some of them don’t even read posts.

    how dare you suggest we piss on the poor

    my sister & I started our multiplayer campaign & I decided to establish a brief backstory for us for the fun of it and I said that I’d convinced them to get up to go to brunch with me in the city which is why we were together when the Nautaloid showed up and after the opening cutscene when we woke up on the ship they said,

    “Well. Were the mimosas worth it to you?”

    this is entrapment

    two equally delightful paths here:

    1) a very simple and genuine “i like your shoelaces”, which tells me that you are either a lesbian or a very cool ally

    2) “i like your shoelaces” followed by the pronounced grimace of one recalling their past sins, which tells me that you were a 2012 tumblr user. i now hold the power in this conversation and you are at my mercy.

    if you know about 2012 tumblr how do you hold any power in any conversation

    well, stucky fanfic url, the trick is to not let them know that you are also cringe

    this is the most poignant burn ive seen all year

    they should have let Scar be part of the big villain team up in the kingdom hearts series though, like they’re all at their evil meeting and Jafar or maybe Oogie Boogie wants to know why a regular lion is there and Maleficent’s like “oh, he’s a fascist”

    noticing as I learn different languages I tend to think using the shortest word from any of those languages, so for example instead of “this is” or “dette er”, I’ll just automatically think “c'est”

    So my proposal is a creole of every language in which we find the shortest syllabic way to say every single word and speak at maximum efficiency

    there’s a cherry blossom tree in DC that keeps blooming every year even though it shouldn’t and the park service keeps thinking it’s dead and then it keeps blooming! well they’re removing a lot of trees to rehabilitate the area and they’ve said it’s finally time for stumpy to go and they’re going to mulch it and use the mulch to enrich all the other trees so it can help everything else keep going. and they’re also going to plant spliced little pieces of it all over so that stumpy can live forever and this is genuinely sending me into a spiral

    a photo of a cherry blossom tree on the bank of the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC. The Washington Monument is visible behind it. The tree is short, hollow and looks almost burnt. It has one branch that's in full bloom with pink cherry blossoms. There is a small bundle of red roses at the base of it.ALT

    someone brought it flowers today

    STUMPY MY BELOVED!!!!

    For added context on what rehabilitating the area means: there are structural issues with the Tidal Basin seawall that cause flooding like this independent of rainfall. Big portions of the sidewalk in Stumpy’s section are regularly submerged, which is bad for the land and the trees themselves, not to mention an accessibility issue for visitors.

    It’s sad that Stumpy and many other trees in the area will need to be cut down, but it will ensure the continued survival of the other trees in the area, and Stumpy himself will live on in his cuttings!

    I believe Stumpy will be taken to the national arboretum and his clones will return to the tidal basin after the rebuilding.

    Someone left him a bottle of bourbon as an offering.

    The Japanese Embassy came to pay him honor this week.

    Stumpy and his cohort are part of the original gift from Japan more than 100 years ago, and many have lived this long bc the National Parks takes care of them. Normally the trees live about 40-50 years.
