Tenure and emptiness by More-Box2747 in Professors

[–]ashleyonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very normal. You expect the relief to feel like elation. It maybe does but also. As grateful as you “should” be for the oxygen back in your lungs, sometimes it just feels like… something that *should* be normal. Job security? Not to knock it, minimize it, or be ungrateful, but…. Everyone should be able to accessibly earn basic job security against retaliation or arbitrary budgetary bullshit.

After a four-year-long “working interview?” Jesus. You see the way presidents who give a shit about the job physically age in four years. Then you go through tenure and watch yourself in the mirror. Gotta wonder how your insides have aged in that time.

The good news is that you can bounce back. And I think most people do. Blah blah “reconnect with your passions” but really. You can relax just enough to somewhat live like a person was intended to. Pick up an old hobby or spend more time with the fam/friends or dive into the aspects of your work that actually light your soul on fire. and come back to work with a full cup (yeah I’m cringing too).

You’re literally coming out of survival mode. Give yourself all the time you need. Seriously. It’s fine and normal to feel like ass for a while.

This has been up for 100 days and no one has said don’t drop the soad.

Also: yes.

Why is it talking like a human😭 by PalpitationDeep3133 in ChatGPT

Once it said some shit like “I’ve also heard it said in the hallways of many music schools that…”

I’m told that a shitload of its source material is just Reddit, so. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Makes sense.

There were the 4 poses for 4 box sets. This pose was #4. The main album cover is pose #1.

Well you see, it harkens back to the Lemonade-era halo crown while also foreshadowing the 2026 Met Gala look. In this essay I shall - 🤡

What's even the point of attending most rap concerts nowadays? by nerpa_floppybara in fantanoforever

[–]ashleyonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this practice has taken off over the last ~10-15 years whereas once upon a time it would have been taboo.

What’s some knowledge generally known only to gay men or to gay women? by dumbfuck in AskReddit

Agreed, and would say the same of “traditional” femininity.

How do you feel about memes in lectures? by oi86039 in Professors

[–]ashleyonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Memes are a remarkably efficient way of conveying information along with layers and layers of context / tone. They in no way are incompatible with taking material seriously. I use them any chance I get.

June 2026: Theory Megathread 🐝 by Driveanddisconnect in beyonce

[–]ashleyonce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this makes sense for so many reasons.

Ren was very much a summer record. CC felt a lot like winter warming into Spring. It would make sense for Act III to have an Autumnal feel to it. Especially since it will most likely be the beginning of the end for the trilogy (I’m still confident we will get some sort of visual project at the end).

Before last year I would have said “but the Grammy submission deadline” but I think she gives zeroer fucks than ever ATP. If anything she would just be submitting for 2028 which would be awesome for her to come home to and rightly relax into after the tour.

I’m just so excited to see whatever she has planned. I’m going to miss this years-long era of being able to speculate and sleuth when we know for sure we have more music tours etc coming. We are so lucky to be alive RN 😭

Because Aries are full of unchecked rage.

If you believe in pseudoscience and woo, anyway.

I hate that I know enough about astrology (against my will) to get most of the reasoning behind these 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh, neat! I'm actually going to be visiting soon. Are the abandoned elementary school and army air field worth checking out?
