Gnaw Bone, Indiana Superthread

[coolian2]

You're supposed to wrap it up until she lets you know one way or the other. Unless you want little Ians running around.

"Put it in me" with no second thoughts, with a woman I know doesn't want children yet? If it's not safe then bugger.

Although bugger would prevent the issue.

The day there are little ones of any Superthreaders past or present running around, I will feel a). terrifyingly old and b). terrified for the world.

Not really. Sperm is rascally, it finds a way from one hole to the other.

I'm very likely not having any because

A. I'm terrified of the responsibility.

B. My ovaries are half-broken.

I hate to say, I already knew that.

I just can't stand young children, so it's not in my prospects. If they emerged around age ten I'd think about it, but yeah nah.

Same. I'm cool with infants because they don't do much. Once they start walking and talking though.... then they are trouble. Then they eventually get to where you can have an actual conversation with them, and you don't have to watch them like a hawk because they've learned how not to kill themselves on household objects, and they're cool again.

I don't even like infants. Human young are uniformly ugly, on top of being useless and defenceless. Everybody says I'll change my tune if I ever have a kid, but that requires a lot of things to change or fall into place.

Frankly, I prefer my books. They don't shit their pants in the middle of the night.

 

[coolian2]

Reason I want to teach teenagers? There we go.

If you find one that does, you should probably give it to Hagrid.

I would say that I teach adults, but the way they behave...

Earlier today I was referring to some Masters coursework students as "the kiddies", then I realised the average age is almost certainly older than me.

"Hey newbies"

They're all older than me. Glad to have made my change.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I've got a Twitter now, mates.

 

[coolian2]

Well you could provide details.

@coolian2 btw.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Prefer to build the anticipation myself.

 

[Axver]

I've got a Twitter now, mates.

Welcome to your latest time waster.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Oh, I was recommended to make one for the purpose of my career!

 

[Axver]

Mine is ostensibly a professional account.

Then I discovered that Australian historians befuddle others worldwide by their propensity to shitpost.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

The main thing mine's for is as a vehicle for architecture/design related things, I'm told that online activity is a good way to get connections to industry/be found by employers.

I'm not sure how much shitposting is recommended in these cases.

 

[Axver]

It seems a mixture of serious history and total nonsense was the way to get into Aussie academic Twitter.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

What the hell happened in here last night?!

 

[coolian2]

What the hell happened in here last night?!

I think we reverted to the old days

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

It was kind of fun.

 

[coolian2]

It was kind of fun.

That's what she....ah I can't be bothered

 

[coolian2]

To be fair it was fun

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I had a good school day. Got a full 50 points on my process speech, even though I got marked off a couple of points for eye contact and going over the time limit. Not gonna question why I still got full marks.

Never question full marks

omg what have i missed in here.

ftr as someone with a vagina, i can't imagine not letting a sexual partner not know that i was on birth control, or that they'd not want to know before any penises got involved. i'm also on one of the most effective forms of birth control (i'm so glad i got an iud when i did lemme tell you*) there is, so at least i'm very, very unlikely to have mini khans for a while. it's a relief as i barely have time to take care of myself these days, let alone another human.

Spoiler

not just because of the political reasons — although it was very awesome not having to pay anything to get it done — but also because the side effects you can get from getting one done that are only supposed to last for a couple months? i had them for like a year. at least i wasn't working then and could just deal with

Spoiler

yeah, don't click on this if you're a dude and squirmish

Spoiler

absolutely horrible cramps and even heavier periods than i had when i was in high school and always had to miss a day of school, to the point where my mom worried i had endometriosis.

 

[Axver]

I don't think the world is ready for how amused I am by Thomas Davey, an early governor of Van Diemen's Land.

In case you missed it on the Tweet Machine:

Other humans are 100% too much effort. I find it slightly crazy that five different people from my PhD cohort have now spawned (though only for four children, as two of them hooked up). I really don't know how anybody does academia while having kids. I don't recommend academia and I don't recommend kids. The two together strikes me as a recipe for disaster, or a descent into madness.

I have no gross stories, because I am a man and this appears to make life stupidly easy. See previous post re: how far you can go as an entirely mediocre white man. Seriously, that dude. He'll forever be my reference. If that fuckknobjockey can be lieutenant-governor of a British colony, I can fucking achieve whatever I like.
