Damn how cool is it using a space post cleaning?

Things moving around my head like a kilo of rice in a bag:

So close to mid-semester break (in week 9 lmao)

My love-hate relationship with policy advisory

Look at the textbook i picked up (size 36 font + dyslexia font for the win!!!)

Still would like to eat dirt

Drinking so much Rooibos + Chai I fee so alive

Song choice: Sextape by Deftones

Wednesday, the 6th of September 2023

Not enough sleep the past couple of days made it hard to become enthusiastic about the day ahead. Although I am very pleased that by tomorrow I'll have my very own jigsaw and orbital sander to build new furniture as well as the material for a floating shelf for my yoga mats and a beautiful dog crate/shelf.

Things on my mind

8 am practice

Buy pet food for travels

Buy tools and materials for projects

Term paper reading & first draft abstract

6 pm student journal meeting

Continue packing list for Denmark

Make khinkali

i don't understand the recent "how often do men think of the roman empire" trend. one of the most well-known recent academic and popular historians of the roman empire is a woman, mary beard. why do this? it isn't cute or funny if you think about the implications for more than five seconds

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

602-771-3500 or empower @ azed .gov 🤡

Squatting resources!

Because the state prioritizes landlords’ right to leech money off of the working class during a pandemic while contributing nothing of value to society over tenants’ right to not die of exposure, we’re about to face a global eviction crisis. That means people will be thrown out on the street to fend off a deadly virus while houses that nobody can afford sit empty. At the same time, countless small businesses and community centers are shutting down because they can’t afford rent

So here are a few guides to squatting, breaking into and living in or otherwise using (e.g. as a social center) abandoned property:

G'day! Lets do 📍🗑️📖 for the ask game <3

Hello hello, tysm for the ask!! <3

🗑️ have you always wanted to be in your field? what was your “almost-field?

already answered this question here, but TLDR: i never really had a dream field, and my almost field was something along the lines of computer science

📖 a book/reading from your field you’d recommend/really enjoyed?

uuuh okay, i never really read many books in my field. Im currently using Physics in Nuclear Medicine to study for my radiation class, and im really enjoyed it so far. it's really easy to read, and explains everything so well, even if you don't remember all the basic formulas and concepts.

Also, Stuart's Calculus was really fun, tho i only read a couple chapters

📍 an academic pet peeve of yours?

ARGHHHH this literally happened to me today. FUCKIN. MEN. INTERRUPTING. YOU. AS. IF. THEY. HAVE. MORE. IMPORTANT. THINGS. TO. SAY. THAN. YOU. i know this happens in all fields, but omg some STEM men are just so awful, today this guy was interrupting me so much during class when the professor asked ME to speak, that eventually the professor had to ask him to shut up (which was even more surprising bc he's so his favorite student)

Also, med students belittling my medicine subjects. we're literally learning the same thing, bestie. and even if we weren't, you don't see me mocking your joke of math's class (this is mostly a Portugal problem tbh, we still act like med students are gods)

and lastly, constants in physics being called K, like all of them. and other naming mistakes in variables, like kinetic energy sometimes being T??? and frequency being a weird ass greek letter that looks like a v

anyways, sorry for the huge post, i loved answering those questions <3
