One of my fellow TAs keeps criticizing the students when they write long sentences (like ~25 word sentences maybe?). I feel like they would be very upset if they read one of my essays lmao

I've been trying to talk more in discord servers by not overthinking the things I want to say, but it's far more stressful than I expected. why did my back start intensely hurting after I sent one (1) message

If any of you want to analyse the new Frankenstein film, let us know!!! It would work great in the Romanticism Now/Romantic Reimaginings blog series or on the TikTok 👀
(And of course any other ideas you have! But I've just finished watching Frankenstein lol)

Watched the new Frankenstein movie w/ some friends and. It was a bad adaptation & due to the severely on the nose lines I think it was a bad standalone movie too unfortunately
However! I'm now extremely motivated to reread Frankenstein!! :D once I'm done with Shelley the Pursuit I definitely will

Pros of having a job again: earning money and having more things to do is nice
Cons of having a job: having more things to do, and thus having too little time and/or energy to finally start reading Shelley the Pursuit 😔

It's absolutely wild how much more social I am now that I've had top surgery and been on T for 2 years. Like before I wanted to socialize but somehow it felt like it was impossible for me to?? Or very difficult. But it's so easy now!! I really enjoy it!! Man I wish I physically transitioned earlier

Ive been wishing I could roller skate to class for years, since walking there is painfully slow. But roller skating seems scary tbh, how on earth do you control it well at all (especially in a hilly area like the one I live in)

First day of TAing is done 🫡 not much happened but 1) Professor Proctor is the best omg & 2) I was the only non-grad student there, so it was a bit awkward at points but I will try to overcome my nervousness and talk to them more!! I felt too intimidated by them & the professor to do so this time :(

I HAVE FINALLY DECIDED ON SOMETHING TO DRAW!! (I'm going to (hopefully!) first attempt to draw Jean Valjean to try and settle on a design for him & then I'll draw Enjolras at during the scene in "the Outlook from the Top of the Barricade"/chapter 5.1.5)

the only regret with transitioning i have is that i didn’t act on it sooner even though it’s what i wanted. in the last decade we finally got a point where it was socially acceptable for people to transition younger, and they’re trying to take that away and it breaks my heart

Can't believe I'm nearly 3 weeks post top surgery wtf wow. Kinda neat how quickly bodies can heal themselves
Also very glad I got it when I did (of course I wish I got it even earlier but um... you know what I mean).
