My stepfather combined “that’s a tough nut to crack” and “that’s a hard pill to swallow” and ended up saying “that’s a tough nut to swallow” and I haven’t functioned properly since i heard him say it
My FAVORITE THING is researchers who wholeheartedly embrace the Ms. Frizzle aesthetic and wear their field of study on their literal sleeve. Everyone in the invasive crayfish consortium has tiny lobster-print shorts or socks. All the middle-aged dad scientists here at the lab have shirts with fish and/or fishing tackle patterns on them. My moss specimen and ammonite earrings keep getting noticed by women who are wearing silver fishbone-shaped or native plant-themed earrings themselves. Every single person on the outreach team has at least one shirt with an anchor pattern on it from Old Navy, and almost all the younger researchers have tattoos featuring their research interests – one fisheries biologist has a half-sleeve of native species she literally uses as an outreach tool. We are self-aware and having a blast with it, honestly.
if youre too scared to drive because you are consumed with uncertainty and fear of what to do and youve convinced yourself that youll mess it up and seriously hurt or kill yourself or others and this leaves you dependent on other people and makes you feel like a useless piece of shit clap ur hands *clap clap*
i made this post two years ago and i wanted to make an addition: as of now i have my license and i can drive without being afraid! i wanted to say that for all of the people reblogging this because they relate. i used to be DEATHLY terrified of driving; i would burst into tears just getting behind the wheel and i couldnt drive on the highway because i was so scared
it took a lot of time, patience, and practice, but i hope this maybe gives some of you hope that you too can conquer your fear. there was a time it seemed absolutely impossible for me, but it DID improve. and i believe in you. i believe that you can do it! push your limits slowly and safely. maybe it takes months, years, but theres a light at the end of this tunnel
