Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.

01.16.24: was in the lab today for a frankly inordinate amount of time. finished our circuit--YEAH!!!--but my lab partner and i are going to have to come in again tomorrow to present ⚡⚡⚡

(also, is it just me or is Lab Partners to Lovers an underused trope? or maybe i just think my partner's cute lmao)

Writing Something New

aka doing a blatant self-insert about the conversations that i wish would happen in my field. for context, jaime is the self-insert (a transmasc engineering student) and alex is his lab partner who is his friend (and possibly something more...?)

Do a quaternion sound like a thing a rational person would think of, give me a break

[jammingkambing]

did you know they say calculus is the language of God. did you know they tried to hold math up to infinity like a candle to the void. did you know statisticians plunged into the vastness of random chance and picked out patterns and equations and eight hundred ways to tell you how big your inevitable errors are and how far off those guesses at errors might be. math haters I can't sit with you anymore. human innovation is cradled in these ancient, methodical, desperate attempts at understanding what we are not designed to understand

Alice Te Punga Somerville, Always Italicise: How to Write While Colonised - Kupu rere kē

[ID: A poem titled: Kupu rere kē. [in italics] My friend was advised to italicise all the foreign words in her poems. This advice came from a well-meaning woman with NZ poetry on her business card and an English accent in her mouth. I have been thinking about this advice. The convention of italicising words from other languages clarifies that some words are imported: it ensures readers can tell the difference between a foreign language and the language of home. I have been thinking about this advice. Marking the foreign words is also a kindness: every potential reader is reassured that although you’re expected to understand the rest of the text, it’s fine to consult a dictionary or native speaker for help with the italics. I have been thinking about this advice. Because I am a contrary person, at first I was outraged — but after a while I could see she had a point: when the foreign words are camouflaged in plain type you can forget how they came to be there, out of place, in the first place. I have been thinking about this advice and I have decided to follow it. Now all of my readers will be able to remember which words truly belong in -[end italics]- Aotearoa -[italics]- and which do not.

THANKS FOR THE TAG!! idk how this works but i will try my best!!!

fave color: red!!

currently reading: The Vegetarian by Han Kang. it's one of those books where you don't actually enjoy/like it but it's still very oddly fascinating for how it approaches writing, society and all that jazz. thematically, it's kind of like Lolita by Nabokov but it's more surreal

last song: Make It With You. it's very nice to sing along to while washing the dishes!!

last series: one piece!! i watched the live action when it was released, and now i'm catching up to the anime. my fave characters are sanji and zoro!!

last movie: Barbie!! i mean i liked it well enough but it's not one of my Top 3 Feminist Movies of All Time yk?

sweet/savoury/spicy: as a filipino who cooks on a regular basis, the right answer here is sweet, savoury AND spicy!!

currently working on: studying circuit analysis for my exams in october! re: writing, i'm working on a pride-themed fic but it's going pretty slowly 🥲🥲🥲

Tag 9 People You Want to Get to Know Better

Thanks for the tag @gohandinhand

favourite colour: Blue generally in all of it's various forms, but also shout out to green, preferably a deep evergreen (can you tell I want to go to the rain forest in WA and just sit?)

currently reading: So I'm sort of reading She Gets the Girl (I'm one page in) but Gideon the Ninth is sitting in my nightstand. I'm also reading the Circadian Rhythm but my brain has about as much interest in finishing it as it does improving my sleep schedule.

last song: Did I make You Up - half-alive it's a vibe

last series: I just watched the newest Ahsoka episode, and started the first episode of Shelter (I started it for lesbians and the vibe is totally different than I thought it would be)

last movie: Finally watched Shiva Baby like a year after my friend recommended it. I needed to fill my Rachel Sennett quote while I wait for Bottoms to release tomorrow. It was every bit as stressful as I knew it would be and I loved it

sweet/savoury/spicy: This is a revolving door answer that is totally dependent on the time and place but probably spicy atm.

currently working on: So many things I have a problem. Actively have the last chapter of my willow prequel fic open and the Avatrice big bang au. Also working on some Tanthamore snippets for next month, as well as boxing au for them, and my tlou au for Avatrice. (Also have a fully finished chapter for the summer au that I need to just edit but my writing style has changed so much since i was posting that fic I'm embarrassed to update it)
