I'm taking so long with my homework this week because I have to keep putting down Cinderella: A Casebook so I can take deep, calming breaths. 😡

Reminder:

When you feel like giving up, remember that you are full of strength and that you didn’t come this far to only come this far.

You got this.

Heartbroken to hear James Dobson has died age 89. It should have been a lot sooner

Distressing thought: being a graduate student means I have a very limited and rapidly dwindling time to continue playing the "not it" game when I complain that there aren't more contemporary published sources on a given topic.

Went out to a community garden to do fieldwork. A gardener stabbed my nonfunctional sunblock spray with scissors so it exploded sunblock all over me and my partner - a last ditch effort to protect my already-burning self.

He sent me home with a bag of beets.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

Most folklorists don't study fairy tales.

“The reading of the will” is not a real thing that happens when someone dies. It’s entirely a plot contrivance in mystery novels.

people think science is entirely rational and based on irrefutable proof but it's a hot mess and is as full of errors, made up shit, and bad research as anything else... maybe even more so because people think science is entirely rationa

Been using my downtime during summer break to read dystopian fic and grow things on my balcony.

It's keeping me somewhat calm.

This is a great tribute to her career and I’m delighted that they brought up the episode THE NURSES. She was so breathtakingly vulnerable in the scene where she confronts her staff I’ve never forgotten the moment she said “well you were wrong”
So human

Had a moment last week where I realized if I could go through a divorce, Trump's presidency, and having no familial support while working, taking three graduate courses and still maintaining a 4.0 GPA, I am more than capable of handling a doctoral program.

Backwards, in heels.

Rescued a plant I found in the trash room of my apartment complex. I’m not the greenest thumb but I am trying very hard to get this guy into better health. I’m pretty sure he’s a Janet Craig dracaena. 🧵

I wasn’t permitted to remove my hand from the sacred back tonight. He had plenty of fleece to burrow under, but I guess my hand was preferable. #hedgehog

Nothing feels quite as lovely as spending an hour playing claw games at an arcade and then drinking strawberry mead and reading for fun to reward myself for finishing Spring term.
