I'LL DRIFT AWAY!

i do wonder how mamdani would have solved a problem like the green goblin

spongebob is really patient with patrick i'm glad patrick has a friend like that in his life

you can say a lot about Paul Simon but you cannot deny that he was at the club and dancing too

i have goooot to remind myself that just because i haven't put a trowel in the ground i'm not as behind my peers in terms of my career as i've convinced myself i am. i have post-season experience. i've developed skills and research interests. i have professional references. literally nobody in my department ever looked down on me for not going to field school yet. it's literally fine i am as always my own worst critic. i WILL get to grad school.

AND IT'S FINE FOR ME TO NOT SPEND MY GAP YEAR WORKING IN THE FIELD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY CAREER IS IN ACADEMIA IT'S ALL FAKE ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

always having to relearn that the threshold for being important to others is lower than I think. always thinking certain relationships are only peripheral because we don't talk everyday or don't know everything about each other. always feeling guilty, selfish somehow, for not being someone's confidant, not sending each other years of long, soul-baring letters or something. always jarring to find out I matter and exist in others' minds anyway. always surprising how much one conversation or comment can mean. always confusing, how much and how little we have of each other, how transparent and mysterious everyone is. how bare our souls are anyway.

qifrey is genuinely deranged. doing martha stewart ass narration to every meal he makes while raising four kids with his life partner who if he looks at too long he has to go walk into water and remember almost drowning so that the curse of homophobia that lives within him doesn’t explode out of his chest and kill him. and he glues his glasses to his face.
