Your asshole coworker is probably not a narcissist and if they are then maybe do some reading on NPD to see if there are more constructive ways you can interact with them rather than shittalking them on the internet not for their asshole behavior but for a mood disorder they didn't choose to have.

Listen I expect this from people who are not very thoughtful about other things too. But then I see science communicators who pride themselves on being progressive talking so cruelly as though having NPD is a black mark on someone's soul!

Downside of having a Real Professional Main Bluesky Account for my reporting is that I have to see people I respect throwing around the word narcissist as a synonym for evil. How hard is it to realize that there is no configuration of the brain that makes someone innately worthy of hate?

Important that everyone know that Scott fischer was an extremely heterosexual man who fundraised for AIDS in the 80s because he was unconcerned with the mores of straight society and also he had the singular ability to inspire a temporary homoerotic insanity in any man who tried to describe him

The confidence with which he describes a version of the Grail Quest which I have never once encountered in all my years of reading med lit... and it SLAPS!! Ed viesturs let me in on whatever bootleg morte d'arthur you were cooking up with Scott fischer on K2 in 1994

It has been exactly a year since I received and immediately began reading a copy of Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer (or Jonny Krak as he is referred to in the bookstore), thereby making me a 300% more insufferable person and also irreversibly changing my life

Drawing the universal distress signal 'SOS' along the entire length of the Mer de Glace with headlamps! ❄️ 💡 That was the ambitious goal of this project involving a large team of 15 people on the glacier to focus attention to its disappearance 🔥🌡️ 🎥 More here vegardaasen.com/thesosproject

Also for anyone wondering. YES I have a Camelot Mountaineering Inc AU in my head. Their big moneymaker mountain is Mount Graal. Kay is base camp manager and every time he has to radio gawain he gets really hopeful about gawain having frostbite on his "pretty little face"

Arthurian fandom can we just add scott fischer to the round table? Just so I can hold him and Camelot in my mind at the same time? He can be a shitty knight if need be that's fine. His true passion is trying to invent the crampon

I wish McKinlay and Cherry had been in the same trench so they could have had a little polar clique that made everyone else feel insecure

The fight only starts because agravaine says gawain would encounter more challenges in a year than all the other knughts put together. He doesn't even try to claim that for himself.

I was reorganizing the polar & mountaineering section of the bookstore and found a cavediving manual from 1952 in there. That feels like attempted murder

God the baptism thing makes me so genuinely emotional. Like she's so earnest!!! That doesn't feel like a trick! She has such a big heart. For both love and murder. Truly I think the author of Lanzelet was onto something when he paired them off.

NO.... tragically this was always the way. Gawain will always win any poll. "Most likely to win a tumblr poll that they do not deserve to win" gawain sweep every time. In character of him.

At one point I had conceptualized and written some of a fic where lamorak gets kidnapped and sebile and Morgan set out into a surreal otherworld to save him. They journey further back into the layers of sebile's life that lurk beneath the surface. Like she herself doesn't know how old she is.
