one of my favorite fucking feelings in the world is when you’re having a discussion with somebody about literature and themes and storytelling and etc or even just like, your feelings, and as you’re rambling on about the interpretation of something-or-the-other you have this lightbulb moment where two ideas connect in your head all of a sudden and you couldn’t have done it without the context of another person there and you both get so excited about this new theory you’re developing

like. collaboration. trust. complexity. awakenings. this shit isn’t just analysis, it’s art.

i don't wanna start a fight on this sweet Christian Sunday but there's nothing funnier than long threads of adult women startled by the fact that teenagers want their own online spaces to talk about movies that are marketed primarily to teenagers and children

see when you've made your whole identity "fandom" you lose touch with the reality that sometimes teenagers will be assholes to adults no matter how much they both like star wars and, controversial opinion incoming, that's their right

It's true and you should say it!

The most valuable thing I learned doing a Masters degree with depression, anxiety and ADHD was to change my “things I’m bad at” list to “things I can’t do on my own.” Stop thinking of them as things I could do if I tried hard enough, and accept that I can’t accomplish them by effort and willpower alone; they’re genuine neurocognitive deficits, and if I need to do the thing, then just like a blind person reading or a mobility impaired person going up a storey in a building, I need to find a different method.

I’m “bad at” working on long-term projects without an imminent deadline or someone breathing down my neck? Okay, let’s change that: I can’t work on long-term projects without an imminent deadline and someone breathing down my neck. So let’s create an imminent deadline and recruit neck-breathers. Find a sympathetic prof who will agree that 3 weeks before the due date they expect me to show them my preliminary notes and bibliography. Get a friend I trust to block off an hour to sit with me and keep asking, “Are you working on your project?” Write a blog post about my progress. Arrange to trade papers and proofread them with another student.

Accept your limitations and learn to leverage them, instead of buying the neurotypical fairytale that they’ll go away if you just try hard enough.

I needed this so much.

Yup. Doing a Ph.D. With depression has taught me that there’s nothing I’m “too lazy” to do. When there’s something I should do, but my brain is all NOPE and I can’t push past it, then I legit can’t do the thing right now, and it’s time to half ass my way through it soap merging gets done instead of nothing.
