There's just something incredibly dark about having a meeting with your boss to discuss your position's funding issues, then watching them write a list for you titled "pathways to success" and one of those pathways is getting laid off.

the last few minutes of taking an exam, when i’m checking all of my answers, is literally just me gaslighting myself into believing that the answer i chose is the correct answer and that my logic is right when, as it turned out, was actually not 😭

biggest lesson learned from my academic career is that heavy backpack: inescapable back problems

kinda freaking out about my second year review meeting tomorrow because how does one explain to other professional academics that yeah I had a weird Autumn because I'm so burnt out that I'm obsessed with two fictional gay celestial beings I'm projecting all my queer feels onto and whose love made me feel things again after a year of depressed disassociation and if it was even only 90 years ago someone would certainly have sent me to the seaside to recover from this blatant nervous breakdown I'm only just NOW starting to recover from by reading endless fanfic and making art* but it's ok!!! you should definitely still give me tenure!!! I promise this only happens every few years** I'm a functional adult I promise!!!*** lolsob!!!
*which to be clear, is not my field
**it's true! usually I don't have as strong of a connection to some sort of community as I do via this fandom though I just muddle through and try to not fall entirely to pieces
*** I am so so supported by the other Ostensibly Adults in this fandom who also are Going Through It, you young ones are also wonderful though ok!! But there's so much shame associated with being a 40 year old who cried for 2 weeks about a TV show kiss between my low key blorbos of 20 years which seeing others working through has helped smash up a bit

I really hate the make a discussion post and respond to two of your classmates assignment cause like I have no idea what I’m doing so i basically dissociate for 30 minutes and tune back in to a mediocre post with some insane ramblings in the middle and then my classmates have to respond to that somehow? and then i have to go over to their slightly less insane posts and figure out how to be like wow great thoughts in enough words that my professor will give me a good grade

I wish I was as productive writing journal articles as I am writing fanfiction.

socrates was right about the written word btw. how am I supposed to put my heart & soul down on the page in a stagnant imperfect misunderstandable form that can't defend itself against the one sided violence of interpretation that is reading. it's unbearable

They are the definition of “you wanna fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid”. Like they’re both saying it. Always. And they’re both right.
@a-fiery-fox I love Odi et Amo so much it’s hard to find the words
