Me trying to do #DissertationWriting as fascism covers the land and horrors abound.

Also the fucking ADHD.
From REDDIT labeled “what goes on in my mind when I have a sensory overload” and dear reader I have had some moments of truth in the r/ADHDmemes.

Sorry.

It’s #DissertationWriting & an obnoxious focus of heritage studies on UNESCO whereas heritage sites I engage w/(excepting a few) are not world heritage & are national, status-quo, more localized/regional, etc.

So, overlap & different enough that much of that lit is not esp useful to me.

I voted and have feels about it given everything but also whatever.

To the acid mines of #DissertationWriting.

In late 1980s 3 or 4 members of FALN visited the National Atomic Museum here & it became A Thing I learned this weekend.

I’m sorry.

The #DissertationWriting is making me so pedantic as I imagine all the counter-arguments.
November 2, 2025 at 2:55 PM
And sorry. It’s the #DissertationWriting & most of the heritage regime lit is UNESCO related.

Fucking hell things are bad and getting worse rapidly under this fascist regime and mass protest remains necessary as part of a diversity of tactics.

This was a 3 day post to write, edit, & get photos & documents together, captioned, & laid out.

I draw on dissertation research to discuss the FEAR AND ANXIETY of nuclear weapons display…

…& articulate to FOIA released records to contextualize & describe the NNWHP.

🚨NEW FREE POST UP🚨

In early 2000s the USA became...concerned...about the exact nuclear technology, and its condition, that had been released for public exhibits & display.

Thus was born the National Nuclear Weapons Heritage Program to find & to fix any 'oopsies'.

I am going to go make some chocolate oatmeal and then enter the acid mines of #DissertationWriting.

At least it will be a partial break from the ongoing horrors and my crushing senses of isolation and loneliness and dread.

A big (one of several) “so what” of my dissertation.

advisor said that she liked this paragraph and I do also in terms of explicating a value of my dissertation project & research work.

Vexing how little of my research range & data will end up in this document.
