top surgery recovery has given me a lot of time to think, which is both epic and not. Been thinking a lot about past selves, past experiences, and how they all led up to me being the person I am today. I dont like theย โI was born in the wrong bodyโ rhetoric because I think it removes the agency for trans people to self-determination of our identities, nor do I like trans identities to be reduced to our bodies. I was that little girl, and I am not ashamed of her, nor was she ever my enemy. We do not have to reject our past selves to validated in our current selves, and I will continue to cherish the little girl in my head because she helped me become the person I am now <3
dude im straight up crying
Damn this hit too hard
idk why it's so hard to find out what I like
seven years 7 years how many days is that
if I could just feel anything that would be great.
just like that, a seven year relationship is over.
the conclusion of the first paper is even better than i had hoped
Mathematicians remain decades ahead of economists
ploughing my way through maths on 3 hours of sleep. the coffee barely helped.
so fucked up that so much of our lives is dedicated to being a good student & good employee. it is no longer enough to have good grades or to do ur job well now u have to manufacture this narrative of yourself that is perfectly tailored to what universities &employers want to see. this is why we cant settle for being amateurs at anything I think.. we have so little free time & yet we feel like spending it without being "productive" is laziness.... I want to bake mediocre bread. & collect cool rocks. take naps. play tennis badly. try rock climbing. boil eggs to put in my pockets & eat at the park. fuck everything else
did no one else pursue a major that they find interesting but also challenging? Not once did anyone ever say "youre good at math" to me. I dont think I've ever gotten the highest score in class on a test, but I still chose to major in it. I did that because I actually wanted to learn and grow and understand why I sucked at it and become better at it. This is so much different from the people who chose to major in it because they were already good at it...
happy mothers day to all eldest daughters
"if the entire world went vegan over night it wouldn't work"
yeah, and if we turned off all non renewable energy sources overnight, that would not work either. doesn't mean that we shouldn't strive for a world of renewable energies or that that world is impossible? almost no big change can be made overnight. that doesn't mean working for change every day is a waste
my brother would rather stay at home, not have a job, watch beach/surf cams, and joke inappropriately instead of go to therapy.
sometimes I say shit without even thinking
also all my professors are white and no me gusta ๐คฃ
also sometimes professors *try* to be nice and I'm like that, I try to be better, but I can tell it's a real struggle for them and I'm like wincing like why is it so hard for you to be decent
