i know i've bitched a lot today, but this stats class is also bad

#i have it twice a week #and thus far what is expected of you is that you watch ~ 6 hours worth of lectures /outside of class/#and then she does a /different/ lecture in class #i've never had a class thats just nonstop info with literally no time to sit with any of it before #like how can I /learn/ this if i have to just move on to the next thing immediately because there is not enough time in the week otherwise #like arent most math classes like... learn the info -> apply the info in hw?????#this is just INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO #whats the homework?? GET MORE INFO THROWN AT YOU #oh you want to sit with something and learn how to do that thing?? fuck you you have 5 more hours of lectures #on top of other classes of course #anyways i literally just have to get through this semester and then the rest of my degree should be smooth sailing #like i wont even have a full class load for the next 2 semesters #i /just/ need to pass these classes #lea speaks #i am PRAYING that this isnt the setup for the whole semester and she's just front-loading this shit #also i feel it should be noted that its not 6 hours of lectures to do in 7 days #no sir it is 6 hours of lectures to do in 3 days

bunter keeping peter from being swallowed up by an evil bog with the kind of hysterical strength otherwise only known by mothers deadlifting cars to save their tender babes is something that can actually be so personal

#lord peter wimsey #mervyn bunter #so jigencore of him honestly. if lupin or peter were inside a irrevocably burning house jigen and bunter would be running #directly and determinedly into the fire to get to their personal Little Guy and that's just the way it is #with the slight distinction that I think bunter might genuinely and uncomplicatedly be *gentle gasp* straight (??? listen i KNOW)#I'm only just about to start book 3 so my opinion is by no means conclusive or comprehensive of course. but those are my vibes #you know how rarely and hesitantly I bestow the 'heterosexual' headcanon upon a beloved blorbo but I think this is one such situation #his attachment and devotion to his silly lil guy seems to come from some far deeper and less readily explicable source #than any such humdrum motives as human sexuality or romantic feeling however sincere could account for lol #it's not exactly parental but sometimes it feels like peter has two moms. his mom. and bunter who actually does most of the mom stuff lol #(or arguably also the wife stuff if we start to look uncomfortably deeply into the overlapping roles in traditional gender politics)#also wrapped up soooo much class stuff and the politics of caretaking physical AND emotional inherent in that #don't worry tho I am seeing rampant queercoding in plenty of other places lol (can we TALK about parker marrying peter's sister.#like ok king. I'm sure that means nothing. also everything about sir impey biggs. what a delight of a character I'm obsessed with him)#(one thing I really noted in clouds of witness is that denver's valet doesn't note Anything about his employer's mail or general mood #can you IMAGINE for even a second bunter not being on top of all of peter's correspondence. not attuned to his emotional state #or interested in his well-being at any moment in time. no you cannot. that is a thing that just would not happen.#I suppose denver does not have the sheer pathetic sad wet cat energy peter has that awakens the protective instinct in people lmao #I jest but I do have deeper thoughts about for all the fantasy of financial independence and freedom from worry he represents #wimsey is right from the getgo a character defined by his vulnerability and interconnectedness -- in being dependent #on the people in his life to help him manage his mental health. he is so fundamentally not a lone detective he's so deeply entrenched #in a social and societal context right from the beginning!!! he seems lonely in many ways but he NEEDS people around him #in a way and with a urgent fragility I feel is rare in the genre and with the tropes at play. and bunter #is in many ways the emotional center of that here in the early days. he keeps peter's world together more than anyone. fascinating stuff #(peter holding on to parker's trenchcoat at the end of whose body hit me so tenderly right behind the ribs my god)

Hi !! Long time no see recently I’ve been. So busy with work and school, my application for early graduation got accepted so next semester I’ll take six million units in one shot and graduate early. This is in fact what I’m doing this semester too, I feel like I’m living on campus 🥲 I see my professors more than my friends and family ….

Anyways I’m not dead ! I have many ideas that I still want to draw when I have time or energy, it’s just that I have neither right now 💀 I hope you are all doing well !

#grass talks #life update #so excited to take a clinical research class on top of the lab I’m currently working in #and then a hundred more courses. I’m so excited. I love academia <- self hypnosis #the goal of becoming a published author is so close but the cost is so high (I’m so tired)#and then my other extracurriculars have been fun but I recently got some kind of shin injury #probably from like repeated high impact #since my body is weak to begin with it’s a race to see if I can condition it faster that it can break down on me LOL

struck by the sudden and horrifying realization that, due to the nature of my relationship to the people in this city, I can never go onto grindr for entirely anonymous hookups because everyone there would be a friend of a friend or a former student

#beck posts #NIGHTMARE. NIGHTMARE SITUATION #like. fuckin obviously I would not be going for first years.#but there were students in one class that i taught who were mature students or like upper years who had to take another credit of something #and most of the students in my other course were my classmates in most of my other classes (very funny teaching dynamic tbh)#and it's a relatively small city with a fairly well connected queer scene #(terrible when there is beef.i do not follow it for the most part bc it would be far too confusing)#WHICH HALF MY STUDENTS ARE PART OF ANYWAY OI7_#this is all to say. i was thinking of posting a ''before i get top surgery anyone want to take up a limited time offer'' type thing #which i will not be doing. for the mentioned reasons

If there was some sort of overstimulation beam I actually would use it. I think some people would benefit from knowing what it's like to be overstimulated. Maybe for like. 10 hours. And then they get to go home and have their family laugh at them and call them dramatic and fussy because they're a little stompy and want some time alone to cry after being on edge for 10 hours. And maybe they'll think "holy shit THAT'S what that person was going through???"

#idk i just #today was really really rough ON TOP OF the whole being overstimulated for 10 hours #like. I get paid minimum wage and I fell into a dumpster today because I was told I'd be written up if I didn't push the trash down #and there was a live rat in the dumpster already #and then I stuttered when I was talking to a customer and he made fun of me for it #full on mock imitation while his friends laughed #and then he LIED to my manager when she asked what happened trying to get me in trouble #all because he didn't like the fact that i couldn't apply a sale to his stuff because he didn't spend enough #sir the register is a computer it's not something i can override #and then i slipped outside on break and my back tightened up #and I haven't eaten in 24 hours #and my family is laughing at me and making fun of the fact that i haven't finished college yet #and also the fact that I can't afford to pay for my classes #because i work a shitty job that doesn't pay me enough #not to mention my coworkers can be so fucking. idle #i told some of them to shut up earlier because I couldn't hear my other coworker yelling out the orders #of course the speaker at max volume didn't help #I can only tune out so much #okay im done #vent post

Cornella: Oh, Seb? He's just like that, it's fine. Matis: ?????? That's actually very concerning for how good security is here.......... Sebastian: Actually it's quite thorough! I assure you that you're safe here. :> Matis: (not really reassuring if they gave up getting you out based on how many times that implies they tried to catch you...)

During his college years, Sebastian went to study elsewhere for a year and lived with his uncle who simply worked for a security company. He just picked up the methods how people could sneak past cameras by listening to his uncle's complaints and how the company never took his suggestions to fix the problems seriously bc he wasn't very high in the company and turned down promotions. Seb just "oh so that's a thing? ohhhh I can do that" and solves his problems in regards to seeing Cornella by putting what he learned vicariously to the test.

#pining since hs wdym #bc hes so easy going its easy for matis to forget he graduated top of the class w cornella right behind him #he also just forgets that seb has a really good memory so of course hed retain every method to use to get ahead #seb just never forgets and acts laid back but does a good enough job #and no one can ACTUALLY find evidence he was in the building at all so even if ten people report seeing him?#wheres the proof? can you really prove it? nope bye #seb seeing his bff since childhood is like this is nice #seb learning he can see his crush since hs whenever he sneaks in ??? wildly huge bonus gonna drop in more often #matis really does enjoy seeing both of them together and still believes they like each other more than friends

#trying not to panic as i write an email to my professor explaining that despite my good grades in this course i have no idea what i’m doing #on this final project #it’s an intro stats grad class for social science #and i have no experience with stats whatsoever #and honestly i’m on the edge of resigning myself to failure #running statistical tests and writing a ten page paper in a week? nope can’t do it #on top of working this week and finishing up my other class assignments AND writing my other much longer final paper #i. am Stressed. and Tired.

haha dude it’s been so long, we gotta catch up!! I need to tell you about how hard it’s been to keep going

#lemon man talks #It’s been so hard lately #you can ignore everything I say from this tag forward #I’ve been so. Excluded by everyone lately #My friend got out of class earlier today and just passed straight through me and didn’t say bye #She said bye to the friend behind me and the teacher #I was right there between them but she ignored me #They have barely talked to me the last few months #And my reaction to people showing they don’t want my presence is self isolating #And I’m so lonely #i feel so lonely right now #And on top of that my father is getting more aggressive #He might start hitting me and my brother again #He might take away my crumbs of liberty again #He could do anything and I wouldn’t be able to react #I’m so scared #and of course my friends don’t know about that because they don’t talk to me anymore #Today I was sitting in front of them during recess #They were talking about a concert they went to together #They didn’t bother to tell me about it #The conversation was just for them #but they came to ask me about chemistry because I’m decent at it and they asked for my sharpener #Friendship. Yay #All my other friends are away #One of my best friends just moved to another continent and the other is busy with possibly the most important tests of her life #i’m so lonely #my father decided yesterday night to change a big part of my routine #I went to sleep extremely anxious and I was already going to wake up a lot earlier today #And this resulted in me waking up at 3am and throwing up and not being able to sleep again #So of course I’m also exhausted

I have been trying for days to find a topic for the "paper" I need to turn in for this Philosophy of History course on Friday, and I got nothing.

I so intensely dislike this subject you cannot imagine.

#This is the main reason I didn't take it the first time around #because they told me back then it wasn't required #and I had no interest in it #unlike most other branches of philosophy #it's constituted mostly by Prussian Philosophers #writing theories about history where of course Prussia is the pinnacle of humankind #theories that have the randomness of Tumblr shitposts without any of the fun #You open JSTOR and won't be able to find more than a couple dozen papers on the subject itself #and how could you #It's a discipline that has like 2-3 possible questions tops #is history linear or cyclical or something else #Does History have a purpose (so is there a providence) or not?#And that's pretty much it #By the point you are asking the question about the subjectivity of historical narratives you are talking about hermeneutics #and therefore philosophy of language and the mind #My frustration is not helped by the fact that the professor herself has taught very little #most of the classes have been presentations by freshmen classmates whose interpretations are understandably very basic and tentative #so the fact that she's asking for this without specific guidances is adding insult to injury #but wait there's more!#she intends the papers to be read collectively and peer discussed and evaluated #grrrr #Anyways if you need me I'll be on the pit of despair

#the way that characters not having canon ages gives the power to other people to prove how dumb their detectiving is #'i think abigail is 15 and in hs bc no Mature Adult™️ would have purple hair and live with their parents!'#i know of at least 10 people like that.#they also think her taking classes online means that she. is a minor.#wait until this person learns about college courses #tbh stardew valley has the worst of it #no i dont think shane is a teenager. living with his aunt does not prove this.#alex is a little more difficult but im kinda doubting his mom straight up died when he was a baby.#imo he and the other younger bachelors/bachelorettes likely went to school in the city #bc otherwise. yeah he was the top player in his team bc he was the only one There. and also lied about going to the playoffs.#i do think hes one of the younger ones though #just not. 13. like this person is insisting.

sometimes I remember random sht back from school (students trying to bully me or making me uncomfortable) and today some of these things have me like ?????????

why did that work? It shouldn't have.

and then sometimes I'm still like "okay, what the actual fck"

#I just remembered how I was supposed to hold a presentation in front of the class and I always wear leggins but on this day I #also wore a shirt that wasn't all too long? and one of the btches in my class literally said out loud “we can see your triangle” and so #everyone fcking started at my private area 💀 of course my concentration at this point was completely gone as I was just trying to #make my shirt longer and to cover myself up. on one side I'm still thinking what an asshole move that was #on the other hand I wish I would've responded that all these btches always wore jeans and like belly free tops where you couldn't only #always see their cooch but also the monstrous ass 💀 like today this is a normal thing when you're out in public because yea #that's how the fcking body is built and it's normal? what else would there be? but like back then this was still a reason to bully and idk #it's funny- ridiculous and fcking with me still lol

one of my favourite aqua things ever is how he loves his sister so darn much. when we first get introduced to ruby from aqua's pov he depicts her as this weird perverted child and even as they grow up they constantly diss each other. he holds everyone at a distance but he'll pull all sorts of strings to better her future, he'll say completely seriously that "of course i'm inviting you to skip class with me, what kind of brother makes his little sister skip class (but making you skip class is okay)", he takes his big brother role so seriously,

#oshi no ko #gorou had no siblings in his past life but now that he has one he rly just makes it one of his top priorities ever to keep her safe #i think it's very neat #also the way he said 'what kind of big brother gets his sister to skip class' with quite a lot of judgement that kana even suggested it #still laughing about it #it never even crossed his mind he is repulsed by the very idea of course ruby is not skipping class arima what are you on #and the way ruby and aqua call each other names no holds barred is so cute #they really get along well huh ☺️
