forgot that my bsky algorithm is really just science (mostly public health) + environment (cue: bird and tree pics) and this is surprisingly refreshing 😭

I think I am going to try to start a creative writing club (with a friend) next year because there is surprisingly none geared towards non-english/lit majors OR are solely lit mag based…..there are so many ways this could go wrong though. oops.

this fr. also I am trying to write a paper about this and I can’t find enough citations…people need to produce research so undergrads can have sufficient citations for their papers :(

Every academic department in the humanities and social sciences should have multiple faculty working on climate change & the implications of the energy transition— it’s the landscape on which the future unfolds. Without social science scholars, there is zero chance we get to zero emissions. Let’s go
Work you describe is even more important for policy. The application can be different but still important. Work on the history of redlining, & infrastructure inequity, & environmental injustices laid the foundation for things like the Justice40 policy & other major actions. Need more qual research!

wishing composers understood that flute/picc parts in orchestral could be used as “themes” and as a lyrical melody or beautiful calls instead of just repeated fast notes and/or the highest possible notes possible in music

went on a lil trip down main street and ended up with a loaf of bread, a bag of soil, and a book of poems

in retrospect this is probably one of the strangest combo of things bought in one trip

so I have started liking coffee despite my body clearly becoming 10x hyper and jittery with caffeine…such a fascinating phenomenon when my mind and body doesn’t agree

finished 3-body and the chinese version was SO good. it was like an audiobook but in visual book form (atrociously slow but still so good). time to wait for the netflix version to come out.

trying to take a christmas photo with my dog involves:

- playtime?? (*runs to find a toy*
- what are ornaments
- tree is tallll…kinda scary
- she lied there’s no food
- let me show my butt
- woah there’s mom *starts jumping on her*
- wow there’s a face *lick lick*

conclusion: photos are impossible

realistically I know internships do not determine my future, but then I get too invested after a particularly great interview for something I really wanted and end up feeling quite defeated by one more rejection after so many (like hi! I would love to work in public health! please take me 🥹)

Day 838382 of being mistaken as a plastic surgeon

at this rate I could have:
- renewed or resigned her privileges at the hospital (which is literally her position??)
- signed off on her intern’s surgical assessment (3 times)
- handled the confidential materials of 500+ medical applicants
