Mao mao: I don’t believe in senseless violence.

Mao mao: I do however, believe in sensible and rational violence, in which the person in question definitely deserves it.

Guys I’m obsessed with this series

Maomao is so favored by people in the highest position in the country that she technically will never have to worry about getting punished by knowing who Jinshi is.

Emperor/Lady Gyokouyo/Lady Lihua: She is their supplier of cultured texts. Makes their nights spicy.

Jinshi: His favorite

Empress Dowager: Approves of Maomao for Jinshi, helped her relieve a guilt

Lakan (highest military official): her biological father, will openly throw hands for Maomao, the dude that can destroy a person's life and career if you done him wrong.

If anything, if Maomao gets punished or god forbid, die. The entire country might even collapse.

Getting Maomao kidnapped can also cause a full out war.

Thinking about when I tried to write a draft for a fanfic

I stopped for fear of possible bus crashing into my spine

Did- did Margerat Mead create the first alignment chart?? I'm currently reading a book about her life and the history of psychedelics and on page 32, it talks about how one of her husband's (the last one) privately identified as 'Androgyne' which is a combining of the Greek words for man and women.

This is where we get androgynous i believe. (By that i mean the western usage of it, and an actual word for it in modern times. I'm probably wrong so don't quote me on that) But it talks about both Mead and Batesman creating a "new formulation of the relationship between sex, temperant, and culturally expected behaviors." It's the followed by 'social and sexual identity comprised a vast spectrum of forms, far beyond the binary of male and female,' mind you this is in the 1930s (around 1933)

They theorized that these forms could be then mapped in a 'kind of personality charts' that they called 'the squares.' Which according to the book, has an Y axis with 'northern (masculine presenting)' and 'southern (female presenting)'. And then the X axis had 'fey' and 'turk' Which were two additional categories of personalities.

I could not find what it looks like for the life of me, on the chart they mapped things such as the following:

Narcissism

Individuality

Introversion

Extroversion

Care for others

I've semi-recreated it? As the book I'm reading does not describe the chart very well. So I have no idea where those list of traits go

This is the best I've come up with, and according to them "recording these traits were a means to an end. For, they believed, by scietnificly identifying how a personality cur across racial and sexual categories, they would be ae to overcome the barriers these categories imposed on the world. A man and a woman from utterly different cultures might, in their system, be revealed as far more alike than two women or two men from the same culture"

Mead writes about ho toxic masculinity, and being deemed 'alchoholics' or 'homosexuals' from straying from supposed gender roles was wrong. Mead had a theory 20 years before historians had the thought that Gender and Sex be seen as two distinct things, rather than one in the same.

The book is called Tripping on Utopia: Margaret Mead, the Cold War, and the Troubled Birth of Psychedelic Science by Benjamin Breen

Twas the first day of school, here is a little recap:

We mainly went over all the new procedures. Theres one about phones and if they have to take it up 4 times in a row you have to pay a fine of 15 dollars. And the dress code regressed?? No teacher is enforcing it though. We still have the same tardy policy (10 tardies = ISS).

If this phone policy doesn't 'work' then we just- wont be allowed to bring our phones at all Which is a HUGE safety concern.

below is a recap of all my class periods <3

1st period: Colorguard

Nothing much happened here, again a lot of today was just a repeat of all procedures. There were a few band specific things, such as attendance, rehearsals, UDB, and stuff pertaining to the band hall itself. There is now a form so if need be, your istrument can be turned into the shop to get fixed!

We also cleaned out the guard locker room/area. All of the costumes from last year got put in one of the lower lockers. We somehow found stuff from seniors who left YEARS ago. And 3 year old water....in a jug still.. yikes.

2nd: Forensics!!!

Im actually so happy I got to be in this class. Im looking forward to a lot of things in it. Especially the labs and that one lecture about blood splatters. Our teacher is actually absent this first week, but thats because he's also the volleyball coach. (Our volleyball team is in Hawaii for nationals I believe)

We had three assignments. One of them was designing a locker (mine is super cute, it has a Marina poster), the second was a Syllabus scavenger hunt which isn't due until tomorrow but I wanted to get a jump on it so I finished it at home. The third was homework, which was just a student survey.

3rd: ELA

It was just, again, more policy updates and a little get to know you card. This class, thank god, wont be all on computer. We'll have some paper assignments. We haven't gotten our reading yet (which upsets me a teeny bit, but I'm sure we'll learn about it later in the week)

4th: AP World History

I'm actually so exited for this class its not even funny. I was genuinley upset when we didnt get our unit 0 packets and when I found out we werent getting our textbooks until Friday.

We did learn that the AP teachers are no longer allowed to split that 70% weighted major assignments to 40/30. Which absolutely sucks, and on top of that our first unit is stuff our state says we NEED to know to get said World History credit. Which means we wont even be tested on it come spring. Our district hates us.

I actually have a good teacher for this AP class, last year I had a very (idk how else to put it) 'White privlidged' teacher. AND AND I narrowly missed being stuck in a class with someone I despise. Made me so happy!

I also learned that 'The History of the Entire World I guess' is pretty accurate! So I can use that as a study resource for like- a short summary.

5th: Astronomy

SO SO SO excited for this class. And there is no math! None! (If they added math it would have to become an AP class). My teacher is so funny unironicly. He's very monotone and you would think he'd be a bore, but he's actually really funny in my opinion.

We actually will talk about why Astrology isnt real which I think will be really fun. I dont nessicarily believe astrology is real, I like the idea of it. But going indepts on why it isnt is going to be really interesting!

We also will get to learn how galaxies and solar systems form, which will be really helpfull for making my story, Abyss. Theres also gonna be night labs!! (if we go we get a free 100 on a test grade) And maybe some Day Labs if the school can get their hands on a solar telescope.

6th: Geometry

It's geometry. There wasnt really anything of note here. Just the fact that i somehow have a class full of kids who dont care abt the Highschool grades. (I have confirmed this, it isnt speculation) It's gonna be a loud period..

7th: Band (they split it up weird)

Again nothing of note. EXCEPT NOW I HAVE TO LEARN THE SHOW?? ON MY FLUTE?? WHAT??

Im in guard, i dont do 'band' until concert season. I cant work on my solo during this period OR my homework. Pissed me of factually because the original plan was as followed:

Used as a study hall

Practice choreography

Practice flute

But nope! They hate me! /j

8th: Musical Theatre!

So many new people! Its gonna be so much fun! I have a lot of friends in that class so im really excited!

I already know the song im gonna do for our first solo, just gotta get permission cuz its technicly not from a musical (Wont say im in love from hercules)

Anyways thats it!! Tmmr will most likely have some more stuff so follow if you want to see!
