Meandering geology student seeking the next adventure. Desperate to explore, forced to study. Happiest barefoot in a lake, listening to folk music, with good books, good vibes. and no sense of time.

"government shutdown?'
Everyday my faith in the younger generation drops. These are educated kids, about to enter the work force, with the entity of human knowledge in their pockets. Yes, government shutdown

When people say "There weren't many women in palaeontology/palaeoart in the 19 & 20th century" they pretend that women in the Central & East Europe did not exist, despite ladies ruling the show in that corner of the world for a century.

It’s not that we didn’t want the shutdown to end, it’s the fact that millions of people suffered throughout this shutdown and it was for nothing. That’s the most upsetting part.

On one hand, it is disgusting to see democrats voting against the needs of their constituents. But how much longer could these go on? It doesn't feel much like a victory or a failure, just a lateral movement. Although I am sure those out of work and starting to breathe again!
BREAKING: The U.S. Senate passed legislation Monday to reopen the government, bringing the longest shutdown in history closer to an end as a small group of Democrats ratified a deal with Republicans despite searing criticism from within their party.

We're just a bunch of weirdos sitting on a rock, talking about rocks, and writing about rocks. I'm learning that, if you have basic needs met, everything else is gravy and not worth emotional pain.

Favorite therapy lessons so far:
-Action>anxiety
-Is this worth the emotion effort?
-Will you care in a year?
-In the bigger picture, is this important or does this only feel important?

Started grad school applications today! Worst case scenario I don't get in anywhere and can't find a geo job for immediately after graduation- I still had a hell of a ride these past few years and have more time to figure it out! Grad school would be rad, but life goes on either way.
