[ID: 3 green leaves with text stamped on them. They say "It's so hot and the sky's so blue", "I want people to know me", "but it's so hard to tell them". ]

so fucked up that alliums exist in Minecraft but not onions or garlic or anything. STEVE YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON A CULINARY BREAKTHROUGH JUST DIG DOWN A LITTLE FURTHER

nuclear power is impressive until you get up to why. "we use the most precisely engineered machinery ever created to split atoms to release energy" oh yeah how come? "boil water to turn a fan" get the fuck out

kinda gay to be scientists in a lab. what do you mean you're "experimenting" with your "partner"?

Y’know, it’s getting real tiring seeing all the study aesthetic accounts post the same things over and over. Overpriced planners, fancy equipment, delicate literature, cliché quotes, diluted palettes.

Show me the broke students. Show me the ones whose stress isn’t conventionally attractive. Show me the dollar tree notebooks and 10+ year old technology that can barely run the bare essentials. Show me the beat up books with cheap post-its and neon yellow highlighter. Show me the cramped closet or kitchen table you use. Show me the unfiltered pictures from that old phone you’ve never upgraded.

Show me what academia really is. Put the color in the picture, the vibrancy of personal drive when everyone around you fits in a monochrome pinterest board.

I’ll give my own example.

I’m disabled and currently unemployed so getting a degree is not quite the picture yet. I have a passion for theology, so over the years I’ve collected all my media from places like goodwill or garage sales. I communicate on discord, not zoom or linkedin. I mend my decade-old clothes when years of laundering thins and tears the fabric.

This is my study spot. In a place with roommates where the attention has to be shared, I’ve made my room my safe corner, where I can hide away from the stress of small-talk and pour my heart into my love of knowledge.

I cook my cheap meals and I clean my living space and I have trouble sleeping over the whys in life, looking out the window at the brown November street corner. Takeout is a luxury, friends are few but fond, and my notes would get more comments than likes on social media.

I know you’re out there. Let’s be friends!

both my sat score and gpa came out today so i've felt wildddd but i did so much better on both than i had thought <3

Power control room at the CERN research institute in 1970

why do astronomers and physicists get the coolest technical jargon. parallax. apogee. sagitta. axis. syzygy. are you fucking kidding me.

TFW even the math textbook is telling you to take a break

really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:

everyone knows that space is very very cold, and the sun is very very hot. so i assume there's a bit of space kind of near the sun which is just right. balmy space

Bohemian Rhapsody. We Will Rock You. Somebody To Love. All hit singles, and all the direct product of a band that was formed when an astrophysicist and a dentistry major found a new friend in an art college, who then went on to recruit a fourth member from the electronics school. Based on this alliance I propose the rift in society between Arts and STEM students was fabricated to keep us separated so as to dilute our true power - and fabricated by who, you may ask? The business major, the only member of society who reaps no reward from art and science and thus must weaken us so as to stay ahead. In this essay I will

Literally such a funny concept

i hate when i browse math-related tags on this site and half the posts are people ranting about how much they hate her. why are you so mean to my wife

feeling terrible about my upcoming exams this week...daydreaming of a time when i'll feel even more terrible about even worse exams in college <3

learning about physics is crazy bc you start with "gravity makes you fall down" which becomes "gravity is a change in the shape of spacetime" and eventually arrive at "gravity might be fake actually"

my main goal in life is to be wrong about quantum physics in ways that make me sound smarter than the other people inevitably wrong people around me

2024-2025

time to set my goals (late) for the next semester of school:

dedicate more time my research project :)

achieve a high gpa (especially in my physics, mandarin, and literature classes)

receive a score of 1400+ on my first sat in december!

submit essays to journals and writing competitions

apply to a few different summer courses!

find more time to journal and reflect

i know these are pretty intense goals but i know i can achieve them :) i am also moving houses soon so i really hope this year i can learn how to prioritise and stay on top of things more!

re: that last post, ive said it before and ill say it again: no one deserves to die (deserving is fake and death is bad) but some people need to be stopped and choose to make death the only way to stop them
