Professor: We're going to rule a die. Luckily I always carry a few on me, not that I play D&D or anything but it's convenient
Me, with three sets of polyhedral dice on me at any time: Sounds good

"Blorbo from my shows" no. Blorbo from my BA. Blorbo from my major. Blorbo from my primary source document.
#sometimes my chosen period and topic of history sucks bc so many of my blorbos are still alive#and still writing memoirs/reflective articles. that are interesting but that i cant really use. blorbos please cite your own sources#i cant rely on your memories completely its been too long for that. and your writing is 75% of the sources. help me out here#love/hate relationship with the academic blorbos over here. dont mind me

Do you think the process of going "I'm going to put a movie on" and then "ok it'll take me a few minutes to get that up so I'm gonna put on that song that's stuck in my head before I do that" and then, as I'm turning on my phone for music, realizing "it's kind of toasty in here and I haven't checked if my roommate's changed the thermostat in while, I'll check that once I press play on this song" and then also thinking "wow that was a wild amount of things to happen in 30 seconds, is that ADHD?" while checking the thermostat (not changed btw) means I should get checked out for ADHD or should I just assume I have it. Or is that normal
Note: Making this post means I still haven't even started getting the movie up
#not sure whether im looking for genuine advice here or not but go for it if you want#also this isnt a one-off thing for context; just thought it was a good example in the moment (that thought didn't fit into the post -#even as disorganized as it is. i think run-on sentences are the only way to explain this kind of experience though)

Was anyone gonna tell me that accidentally finding a possible thesis topic could just happen on a Friday afternoon or was I just supposed to find that out myself in the middle of finals burn-out
#listening to a podcast episode for the last weekly assignment of a class and accidentally writing several paragraphs about it in relation#to a discussion i had in another class: hey holy shit i just remembered why i like college#hmmmm

It's just me and the two grad students that are also always in this corner of the library against the world
#we are all three of us using our phones to procrastinate right now. the silent connection is so strong in my mind#one of them nodded and smiled at me *outside* of the library last week. groundbreaking interactions happening here#might be PhD students? can't quite tell from the materials they're using

I like when the sources I'm using for research have a very obvious symbolism. Least conspicuous stack of books to slowly collect from the library

I know I’ve featured this scene on the Nazi Punch of the Day, but this version seemed particularly timely given the ongoing attacks on education.

#my sibling in christ...... what do you think happened with latam#is colonization not in spains curriculum or did this person just. ignore it#<- prev#but also wild thing to say when youre from the country thats from the reconquista and did a catholic inquisition#since i think this is specifically anti-islamic. although i think thats putting the wagon before the horse#like that. is maybe why the spanish flag is not ironic but uh. perhaps a red flag
