03/02/24 || Saturday
I think I messed up my previous post (checked and yes I called yesterday Saturday sksksk). Finished two out of three lectures I need to do for a quiz on Monday, and I still have a lot of work. But I am going to go sleep for now and figure out the rest tomorrow (it's 1am 💀).
Day 5/30 of 30-Day New Year Momentum Challenge
What methods do you find best for managing tasks?
Mostly sticky notes. I am not the best at time management and discipline, but I usually keep the deadlines on my notion calendar, and I have a tiny notebook where I scribble all the things I need to do (including academics and grocery lists lol), and finally I use sticky notes for day to day tasks and stick them on the side of my laptop so that I can remember.
Also I like drawing little doodles on my sticky notes haha

The wonderful feeling of napping on your girlfriends chest. Listening to the sounds of her steady breaths as you feel the soft drumming of her heart beat. Legs and arms intertwined in loving embrace. Soft hands drawing circles into my shoulderblades and down my ribcage. To be compleatly enveloped in a woman's affection is the most heavenly way to pray. The surrender of trust so willingly. In her I found my religion, in her I found what cherubs sing of.

even though I've never read the books, i love how you handle the women in this series.
The utter lack of interest in the internal lives of women characters in WC kills me. If you don't read the series it's hard to put it into words, but it really does not value women on the same level as their male counterparts
I think the best example I can use is Turtle Tail. All of her choices, from going to live with Bumble, choosing a "cruel man" as a mate, and even her grief when Bumble dies, all only happen as accessories to Gray Wing's arc.
Living with Bumble was because Gray Wing was obsessing over a woman who didn't love him, neglecting Turtle who does
Choosing Tom the Wifebeater was also because Gray Wing didn't appreciate her enough
She accepts that her friend's murder was just an unfortunate accident and her emotions carried her away in the moment, because Gray Wing needs to be right that his brother is a good boy
In this way, Turtle Tail's emotions and motivations aren't allowed to really be about her. They're about how her romantic interest influences her. And then she's crushed by a car for his man pain after they've explored every other way her life could make him sad.
This does not happen with men. Even characters like Stemleaf and Larksong, whose primary narrative purpose is dying for their wife's pain, have functions outside of that. Stemleaf gives his life opposing the tyranny of the impostor in a rebellion, and Larksong has input on The Kin, SkyClan, and even serves as a source of comfort and support to a son who he's never met in contrast to the unreasonable mother.
There's just so much more respect and reverence to the toms in this series. You have to be in the POV of a molly to get depth, and even then, they nearly always (exceptions being mothwing and mistystar) include a major conflict over romance and/or parenthood
(And they usually get punished for their choices a lot harder than male counterparts. Directly contrast Crookedstar and Sparkpelt, who both distance themselves from their children out of grief, but only one has to deal with the lasting consequences of being a "bad parent")
Anyway, enough wistful analysis. It is MY kitchen and I get to choose the conflicts. It is my personal mission to write lots and lots of women persuing a higher education in STEM. Sadism, Torture, Evisceration, and Murder <3

Might as well do a Honeydew transition timeline! In reverse order, of course, in case you don't want to see me with a beard~
Starting off at ~2y HRT (By this point I'm the angel we all know and love, clad in multiple layers so that staff doesn't hit me with an orbital strike.)
Below is the rest of my timeline! If you like me as I am, don't bother looking~ It's a part of my life I'm glad is over, but for the sake of solidarity, you're welcome to look!
1.5y HRT (Figured out I needed like... 5 beautiful wives by this point. Super happy with myself, look at that hair~)
1y HRT (Didn't know I needed a bra yet, but I DID figure out not to brush my hair. Doing a photo shoot for my beautiful wife at the time)
3m HRT (I'd figured it out 9 Months ago and had gone coat shopping with my mom)
3m before HRT ("Maybe I'll try being a girl for halloween, surely there's no deeper meaning to this choice)
And then like 1 year before HRT (She has no idea... Pretty eyelashes though)

I am Dr. Heinz Doofenschmirtz and the auto-titrator is my Perry the Platypus
Me: I've now restarted you six times, given you a new silver probe, calibrated the pH meter, untangled the cable forest, refilled all seven chemical bottles, and unplugged every goddamn connection on the instrument. I even turned up the temperature in the lab, in case you were just upset because you were a little cold. It's been two and a half hours and this test should have taken me max 40 minutes. Do you feel like working now?
Tiamo, burrowing under the covers: Nope. Try again tomorrow.
Me: I am going to BITE SOMETHING.

I quite am literally done with all men in geology
I am so sick of the undergraduate male students I'm teaching treating their women partners or their women instructors like they don't know what they're doing
I did not get a master's degree to be told off by guys who think having a dick = geology experience, geology experience is the only thing that equals geology experience!!! And I have more! That's why I'm teaching and why they don't have a degree yet! So they should learn from me, showing what a bedding surface is, instead of using a "bedding" measurement they took off a fucking crossbed that's not even in place!!!!!
I'm sick of having to reinvent plate tectonics or something to be taken seriously. When does it end? If I get a PhD? If I publish 10 million papers? When do I know enough that my credentials outweigh "girl"?
