Now Someone Tell Me Why The Fuck I Didn’t Discover Good Omens In 2019 Because Now There Isn’t Much

and that's the proof 99% of writers prefer cats.

People writing about any sort of nonhuman character

I SWEAR I SWEAR I SCREAMED ALL THIS MORNING AFTER BINGING IT

I sat through Casanova only to have THIS KIND OF ENDING????????????

oh and racists

we love chewing racists

I've never seen a cishet dark academic bitch like are yall real??? honestly??? are you hiding from us???? I promise we don't bite, we're busy chewing the homophobes and transphobes

What if after Neil died, Todd went and visited Neil's grave every day and one day, a few years after graduation, he went to Neil's grave and set a ring on the head stone asking if Neil would marry him. Neil would have obviously said yes if he were still alive so Todd buries the ring a little under the ground near the headstone and wears his around just to remind him of his first and last love. The ring is engraved with Neil's name and the day he killed himself.

(Thank you for this very sad headcanon @/the.poet.and.the.actor on Instagram.)

Dark academia (or any type of academia) does not have to be entirely exhausting yourself. Please take a break. Here are some things you can do:

-Stretch your legs, stretch your whole body.

-Get a glass of water and drink it.

-Get a snack or a meal if you're hungry.

-Close your eyes and just observe your thoughts for five minutes.

-Take a nap if your tired.

-Do a small set of exercise(s).

-Shower, if it's been a while since the last one.

-Do something sensory like light some incense, or play with a fidget toy.

-Go outside and just get some fresh air for a couple of minutes.

-Call a friend or talk to a family member.

-Read a book you enjoy that does not have to do with things your learning.

-Participate in a hobby for fifteen or thirty minutes (maybe doodle something or continue crocheting a couple of rows).

You are worthy of self care and self love. You are not just an education robot. Take some time to yourself.

(Also feel free to add to this!)

my grandpa saw my gemsona on facebook and now he wants me to draw him a gemsona

An accurate description of the life of a 1st year astrophysics major:

going to class and your professor talking fondly about the "wonderful feeling after the elevator cable snaps while you're in it"

said professor then proceeding to play a rock song

on most days only expect 2-5 students in class even though we have 13

where did the others go?? nobody knows, maybe they were abducted by aliens

speaking of aliens

your other professor pausing class to talk about what would happen if we met them

and getting mildly upset that an asteroid is no longer headed towards earth

cats

just so many physics department cats

and celebrating their birthdays

nobody in the department sleeps

don't be alarmed when your professor goes to the group chat at 3am to talk about whatever

hating elon musk

somehow other majors don't think astrophysics majors actually attend school until they meet you

there are days where we only talk about why star trek wasn't safe (they never wore seatbelts for a long time!!)

we like frogs

and rocks

rock go brrrr

sometimes finding your professor's face photoshopped onto satellites

working for hours but having 0 progress

your prof. assuring you that this is normal even for professionals

random scifi talks and book recs

cats

everyone in the dept likes greek letters

getting back to your dorm at almost midnight

the hall is eerily quiet but nobody is asleep

crying over the moon is normal

so is crying over the mars rovers

crying in general is normal

your professor saying odd things like

"this is just some weird image of two people about to die- but anyway, spacetime"

the astronomers of the school are also the astrologers

setting up in the lounge reading people's birth charts and astro cards

having to sneak through the back of the building because our id cards never work

sitting in the observatory with the lights off waiting for the professor to get there

planning to bring your hallmates to the planetarium to impress them

did i mention the cats?

meow

why do we have things that glow?

and this????

idk might make a pt. 2 or not

sometimes you need to read old posts to remind yourself why

Physics homework? What is that.

Staying up all night to study every astronomy and astrophysics related things, dreaming about what's hiding behind the dust clouds and void, letting your mind wonder through the shadows? That's it, that's my ideal life.

Do you have any textbook/book recommendations for math and physics classes?

not sure if you are looking for anything specific so im just going to throw some random book titles at you:

basics of theoretical physics/astrophysics:

the theoretical physics series by Nolting

classical mechanics by Goldstein

Theoretical physics course by Landau, Lifshitz

Theoretical Astrophysics by Matthias Bartelmann

Astronomy: A physical perspective by Kutner

An introduction to modern astrophysics by Carroll and Ostlie

workbook theoretical physics by Fließbach and Walliser

physics in general:

Modern Physics by Tipler

Optics by Hecht

Experimental physics 1-3 by Demtröder (esp. part two)

special relativity for beginners: a book for undergrads by Freund

Introduction to Electrodynamics by Griffiths

fundamental astronomy by Karttunen, Kröger, Oja, Poutanen, Donner

maths/maths for physicists:

linear algebra by Jänich

linear algebra by Beutelsbacher

matrix analysis by Horn

analysis 1, 2 and 3 by Forster

analysis 1 and 2 by Königsberger

real and complex analysis by rudin

foundations of analysis by Taylor

higher mathematics 2: analysis by Strampp

mathematical methods in physics by Lang and Pucker

book of proof by hammack

also something i find really useful is just looking for scripts/lecture notes! you can easily find them on the internet by googling '[class/topic] script [random university]'
