Spent lots of time studying in the library today, struggling to keep up with regular work while studying for a second set of midterms coming up next week. Someone tell me the secrets of optics in physics! What does it all mean!

i want to go home. i will always want to go home. even when i am at home i want to go home. but i’m not really thinking of a place, it’s more that feeling of everything finally being over, of seeing the light in the windows of your house on a cold night, of being safe, the relief of leaving a party you’re not enjoying, like when you felt sick at school and they sent you home, or when you got upset at a sleepover and they called your parents. i want my mam to come get me. i want to go home.

Louis MacNeice and fresh coffee this morning. My own autumn journal: I met up with some friends today and we went for a big walk around Nunhead Cemetery, bought plants at the nursery nearby and had a pub roast. This evening some friends we haven’t seen in a while are bringing a board game around for a games night. Sundays are such magic

i am now more than halfway done with my summer internship, and it makes me a bit sad. i'm really enjoying the work i've been doing and the routine it has allowed me to have; having responsibilities, deadlines, and a set schedule has really helped me maintain somewhat stable mental health. i hope i can maintain a routine once the school year starts, hopefully that'll make this academic year better than the last.

on a lighter note, eugene got all his kitty vaccines and the vet called him lovely!

i hope your summer (or winter for those in the southern hemisphere) is going well :)

currently reading: Six of Crows - Leigh Bardugo

some 'energy givers' for the new year :

glasses of water, sunlight, nourishing food - remember that you're just a plant with more complicated feelings!

reading, music, creativity, writing and setting intentions - things that'll cure the feeling of 'being alive but not living'.

laughter with loved ones and cuddles with a pet - do I really need to explain this one more?

intersex bodies are just as natural and regular as perisex bodies, the only difference is that perisex bodies are more common. being intersex is not a birth defect in the same way being a perisex woman is not a birth defect. nothing broke, nothing is "wrong" with us, we are just less common.

being a perisex woman or a perisex man isn't a medical condition and neither is being intersex. when our intersex conditions cause other health complications it is not because we are intersex, it is because of a medical condition associated with being intersex.

a person with a uterus who has endometriosis isn't experiencing a symptom of having a uterus they are experiencing endometriosis.

intersex bodies are heavily medicalized. they are treated as problems that need to be solved, but being intersex isn't a medical condition. we don't need to be diagnosed and forced through "treatment" to make us as close to perisex as possible, we need support, awareness, and acceptance.

tldr; intersex bodies are just as natural as perisex bodies. intersex existence needs to stop being medicalized

I remember someone on here saying zoomers treat teachers the way boomers treat retail workers and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. Seriously, some people act like teachers are servants for their students and take “the customer is always right” mentality and turn it into “the student is always right”, when no, they’re not, especially when the attitude of some students boils down to, “I can’t believe this bitch Karen expects me to actually show up to class, read these texts, and analyze them 🙄 I’m going to speak to the manager email the department chair if you hold me accountable for missing class and not turning in work all semester”
