#chaotic queer academia

[sappho-and-shakespeare]

My chaotic grad school academia

Writes only with cheap clear bic/biro or fountain pen, no inbetween (wooden pencils)

Beta reads fanfics and friends’ grad thesis

CD > Vinyl (still collects tho)

Obsessed with music

Grades papers listening to an iPod classic

Phobia of read books, still goes to the book section with wife despite running out of bookshelves a year ago

Wanders the bookstore but only ever gets books from the library (it’s that plastic wrapped cover. They make me feel safe)

Wine in mason jars

Analog watch that always an hour behind

Carries my Stanley everywhere (it’s only filled with ice; Xmas gift) and actually uses it as my only reusable cup

90s Toyota is my entire personality

Leggings and blazers

Crocs and business casual to teach class

Absolutely no impulse control

Too many trips to Target to check out the music section

Hyperfixates on new thing/fictional character/album every 2 months

Absolutely no sleep schedule (IM DOOMED)

Wishes I could be a moody chain smoking alcoholic academic but I just doomscroll and avoid my responsibilities instead (IM STILL JUST AS DOOMED) (we’re all also too lazy/busy to drink)

Drinks too much iced coffee; hates coffee (I’ll like it by the time I graduate at the rate I’m going)

Random spurts of creative inspiration; absolute manic burn out

Gets to be intellectual on main at all times it’s fun

Two types of people on Queering the map:

I need a pretty boy. I need a pretty boy to go stargazing with. I need a pretty boy to drink coffee with and chat about Shakespeare with. I need a pretty boy to kiss and cuddle with. I need a pretty boy to love. In short I am very gay and lonely.

The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and went. And what the poets said in rhyme, the young translated into practice.

Opening Queering the map is really a journey because one moment you're crying to the most heart-wrenching confessions and then you accidentally click on the ocean:

Portrait of My Gender as [Inaudible] by Meg Day

[p1xel-1mp]

For at least 70,000 years, our ancestors have used makeup as a status symbol, a form of expression and a show of strength, striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.

I firmly believe that society as a whole would be greatly improved if all men, and all other masculine presenting individuals, regularly exersized their right to particpate in the ancient art of applying makeup. Most importantly, to practice their right to decorate themselves in the cosmetic product most commonly referred to by the general public as ’guyliner’. In this essay I will-

My mum thought Dorian Gray was a woman, because she was getting him confused with Girl with a Pearl Earring. And upon my correction she said, “well I guess it makes sense for Oscar Wilde to write about a man”…….
