Moving For/In Graduate School
Moving For/In Graduate School
Two weeks, 2,700 miles, 40 hours of drive time, one family emergency, and two car problems later, I’ve finally made it to my new home. Although I have moved 5 times in the past 5 years, this was the most significant move of my life so far. I have some thoughts. Continue reading

trans men in history will quite literally be like “i only want to live as a man and be seen as a man, i refer to myself exclusively as a man, i have taken extreme pains to appear and sound male, i will go to great lengths to prevent sexual or romantic partners from seeing my body, if i am discovered having sex with other men at no point will i attempt to evade consequences by claiming to be a woman in disguise, i insist upon being treated as a man even in private by literally everyone who knows me, if i cannot get the people in my life to keep my secret i will physically pack up and go somewhere where nobody recognizes me so that i am unequivocally recognized only as male, i will literally fly into a violent rage and physically attack or threaten anyone who calls me a woman, i want my personal letters burned when i die, i want my body to be cremated/to be buried without any examination so no one will see it, and i want to be remembered as a man even in death,” and people will still be like, “this is clearly a lesbian!”
Most corporate social media accounts use memes to try and appear hip with the kids so they’ll buy their product but the Sparknotes twitter account is clearly just run by a literature geek who was told they could make memes about old books and is having the time of their life doing just that
Unrealistic polymath genius: has six PhDs.
Realistic polymath genius: just has the one set of degrees, but their bachelor’s, their master’s, and their doctorate are each in a different field, and they’d be happy to explain – at great length – how the three relate to one another.
i think a very Me thing is when i mention i’m into professor AU fic and people ask “who’s the professor and who’s the student” i’m like “no...they’re both professors”
one is a professor who wears khakis the other is a professor who wears jeans professors shouldn’t be having sex with students lol

Not to offer advice nobody asked for but fixing ur sleep schedule is life changing
Things that actually work if u try at them:
Drinking water
No longer making self deprecating jokes
Making sure to take time out of the day to relax and take a breather
Lighting candles
Counting ur breaths in and out if ur having a panic attack
Getting up and trying to do one thing even if u can’t do everything maybe brushing ur teeth but not having the energy to shower
Taking a shower if you can, putting clean clothes on if you can’t, even just a clean set of pjs. Washing your face.
A couple weeks ago I was in a major depressive slump and was feeling really detached from reality. I was trying so hard to fight it but nothing I tried worked until I realized I hadn’t listened to any happy music in almost a week.
I didn’t feel like listening to anything at all but I put on my favorite playlist anyway. Take On Me started and I finger stimmed to the keyboard riff and hummed along and by the end of the song I was smiling. A few more songs and I was fully singing along and feeling more present than I had in days.
Even if it seems small and trivial, like putting on your favorite socks or looking up pictures of kittens, it might be something you need. Of course the music didn’t solve any of the problems I was upset about, but it did help me feel like I was a person again.
i learned about Marion Stokes, a Philadelphia woman who began taping whatever was on television in 1979 and didn’t stop until her death in 2012.. The 71,000 VHS and Betamax tapes she made are the most complete collection preserving this era of TV. They are being digitized by the Internet Archive. (x)
i feel like this is selling her a bit short tbh. It’s not like she was a random woman who decided to tape ‘whatever’ was on television. She was a civil rights activist and archivist, who was extremely concerned about preserving history. She believed that, by taping television, she would be preserving history EXACTLY as it was perceived at the time; she didn’t want the detail in the news to disappear with time. And she was RIGHT.
Like I said, she didn’t just tape ‘whatever’ was on television. It was extremely targeted towards news stations. There were 8 VCRs running at all times in her home. Her life—-and her family’s lives—-were centered around 6 hour blocks, since that was the amount of time that a tape would record for. Her collections were also extremely organized.
The Marion Stokes Movies and Video Collection may be found on the Internet Archive here.
Wikipedia’s article on Marion Stokes may be found here.
A documentary of her life, Recorder: the Marion Stokes Project, was released in 2019, and seems to have good reviews, though I have not yet seen it.
From archive.org (Internet Archive) - The Marion Stokes Papers contain documents related to the life and activism of Marion Stokes (1929-2012), civil rights activist, feminist, and news archivist. Stokes’ social activist career began in the 1950s, and encompassed many areas of left politics during a particularly transformative time in America. Her groundbreaking television show (co-produced with her husband John S Stokes Jr), Input, addressed many pressing issues, and much of it remains relevant today. Additionally, Stokes amassed a huge archive of videotaped television news, which is slowly being made available through the work of the Internet Archive.
is this a stupid thing to feel invalid over
adhd bitches be like. “there’s this very tiny sound that’s extremely quiet that no one can hear but me but the fact that i can hear it means that i can no longer focus on this task” but also go “sorry i have no idea what you said because you weren’t the only sound being produced in this environment at the time and you weren’t super loud and perfectly enunciated therefore i processed nothing” i’m bitches
This is so good. Makes me feel like I'm really helping.
Which I need, because this kind of sucks.
If you're staying home during #Quarantine2020 you're helping make things better than they would be otherwise
For anyone else really feeling the effects of wide-scale gaslighting, feeling like you’re totally insane for still staying home while everyone else tries to go back to normal:
You’re not insane, you are doing the right thing. Please keep doing it. I love you.

Who’s eating dark chocolate pot de créme and reading fanfic instead of writing one of three final papers due next week?
It’s fucking me. No shock there. Why can’t I just eat French dessert and read about cute gay boys in peace? Grad school is stupid.
the human stress response seems so maladaptive!
To be fair 99% of our evolutionary stress response was meant to deal with far more immediately conclusive scenarios than the tedious bullshit we put up with these days.
very very slow tigers are chasing me
not to leave a serious comment on a silly post but one of the best pieces of advice I ever got about stress was to SLEEP but secondly, when overwhelmed, lay in a bed and intentionally hold all your muscles clenched. clench EVERYTHING. hold it for a few seconds, then let go. It tricks your animal fight-or-flight monkey brain into thinking it had, and won, a fight, and some of the stress response will leave you
#turn a slow tiger into a fast tiger with this fucked up trick

I know I’m inactive, but by way of explanation, I have recently finished my honours and am starting my doctorate - if you wanna follow my study blog, feel free
I’m still aiming to create content when I can!
woman in a victorian novel: *develops a fever from worrying too much*
me, shivering and sweating with stress-induced anxiety: wtf that’s so unrealistic lol
i just said the same thing on twitter but please please please consider standing up for remote learning options even if everything does somehow go back to normal. so many physically disabled people drop out of school/college because of inaccessibilty. we have been asking for an option like this for so long and keeping it would change the lives of sooooo many people. we have an opportunity to start reforming the educational system to be more accessible to disabled and poor people and i really dont want to lose remote options because ableds are too lazy to keep hosting video calls.
this is okay to reblog but physically abled ppl be quiet!

people are like "if you put crabs in a bucket they can't escape because they keep pulling each other back in, this is called crab bucket mentality and describes why people don't help each other" and never acknowledge that crabs do not naturally occur in buckets, a human with more power had to put them there
I had a professor in college who used to start solving every problem with the same dialogue.
Proff: What’s the first step to solving any problem? Class: Don’t panic. Proff: And why is that? Class: Because we know more than we think we do.
I think about that a lot tbh. It didn’t occur to me until much later that he meant for us to apply that dialogue outside of the classroom to any problem. Because we always know more than we think we do. We are all an amalgam of random information that ends up being relevant with surprising frequency.
