j (any pronouns) (jewish) (i’m ≥ 18)my body is fucked up and i post about that sometimes (i’m disabled/chronically ill)wildlife student + work in wildlife rehabswe are still in a pandemic. mask up!
the thing about having a dead parent is like. idk where to fit in a lot of places. and that comes up a lot when people are like “oh are you a first generation college student” because technically no i’m not. my dad went to college, and i think he had his masters, too. except he died three years ago before i even started considering college so all of my college journey has been myself and my mum who didn’t go to college. so i’m not exactly comfortable being like “yeah i’m a first generation student” because i only am on my mum’s side but also talking to friends who had their parents go to college is also like “oh. ok. so you just have that guidance and didn’t have to figure that out yourself”
every time my mum encounters a pregnant person i get the weirdest fucking texts. “[supervisor] is ready . I expect her to deliver this week” what the fuck. why did she type it like that. the thing is though that my mum will probably be either right or super close. she’s like some oracle of childbirth
my mum (very social) (former midwife) is going to an event run by the wildlife rehab i work at. all my supervisors will be there. including one who is very pregnant. i currently live in fear
This is going to be short bc i already have a post up explaining this situation, but I started having seizures, which led to medical costs I couldn't handle bc I have an autoimmune disorder that's been going untreated for years. I got the appts covered bc of an extremely generous friend on here, and had some additional medication costs which I thankfully had enough for. I've been applying to at least 10 jobs a day and had tons of interviews. I'm going through interviews and assessments for several jobs (got more scheduled for tomorrow) Then my card got stolen, and now I am screwed as far as rent goes, even if one of these jobs comes through like today we will still fall short because rent is due on the 1st and we don't get a grace period. I am trying to get the money that was taken when my card was stolen back, but I have been told to wait to hear back after submitting all the details, and have yet to hear back.
Dm me for proof or more details. I will do art for anyone who helps with this and you can commission me at my art blog @theartistrans I just desperately need to get rent. My roommates and I have a huge food garden planted and are working towards self-sufficiency, which we have no hope of if we can't pay rent.
speaking of the rehab i work at, i’m also waiting to hear back on if i got into a medical internship there. i asked one of my supervisors yesterday and he said he doesn’t know when results come out, but he’s heard that i’m apparently a top contender. i am very much hoping that’s true

reading this deposition that just got dropped where someone sued musk and ohhhh my god it is this funniest thing ever . i can see why his lawyer tried to keep this confidential . they’re both maybe the biggest idiots . this is like ace attorney

ok ok last post and then i’m locking in. dorm living is so not for me. singular communal kitchen for the whole floor and communal bathrooms are a personal hell for me (guy who loves having a routine including cooking and showering at the same time). i move into my apartment in like two weeks and i can’t wait
a post-doc was doing a guest seminar at my institute and at the beginning of his presentation he was explaining why he chose birds for his evolutionary analysis - so he said "well first of all, because birds are the best and most interesting animals and it's fun to study them" and a few professors in the room gave him a very serious nod
LESS THAN A WEEK i am out of here in less than a week. i have 5 days and 7 hours and 45 minutes and then i’m done with this semester. i just have to buckle down. bio i know how to study for. government i know how to study for. calc is gonna kick my ass but i can do this

wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?
ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.
