a question to anyone out there who is pursuing or currently has a phd in history: is it worth it and can you find a decent academic job with it? i’ve realized for years now that history is my biggest passion and being a history professor is my absolute dream. i do have other interests but they do not equate to how much i love history. i’ve began to doubt getting a phd after undergrad as i’ve seen numerous horror stories of ppl with a phd regretting or not being able to find a job or having to live out of their car. it hurts to think my dream is unattainable. i don’t want a lot of money as long as im doing something i love and can live off of it.
#some stuff i’ve read has been making me feel extra depressed lately#feeling kinda lost and i hate it#phd history#history phd#history professor

going through my old journals as part of therapy homework and i'm reading a section written in the emotional wreckage of a full-on breakdown when i get hit with this line:
There is never a satisfying answer to ‘Why didn’t they love me?’
like wow babe. good fucking point
#like you were on the ground biting the carpet and dry sobbing while you wrote that and still. good fucking point#not a shitpost#cptsd#and it's true. there's never a satisfying answer#the truth is i know why i wasn't loved#i analyzed my parent's traumas and abuse to death. i understand why i alienated and was alienated from my siblings#i know why my mom was too overwhelmed to be capable of nurturing#i know why my dad vanished into addiction and avoidance#the details of our cycles of trauma and cptsd and family history i have a phd in all of it#i understood perfectly. i spent years studying and now i knew the answer#and guess what? IT WAS NOT SATISFYING!!!#because they still didn't love me! and i still couldn't change that!#it was still a completely unsatisfying state of affairs!#so like. when the people who are supposed to love you...don't.#when the people who are supposed to take care of you...fail to#you can look for answers and reasons and explanations#but that's not actually going to FIX your situation.#and it's probably not within your ability TO fix the situation. (and definitely not your job)#because you don't need answers--you need a new situation#*inserts Just Walk Out. You Can Leave!!! (Running Skeleton) Meme*#and yes. walking out isn't always possible.#but for you i hope it will be one day soon. and i hope you build the courage to take that leap.#stepping away from the people who failed to love you...it feels like being untethered but also like being lighter than air#new and scary. immensely relieving. the future opens up. empty but empty like a canvas. blindingly bright until your eyes adjust#like climbing out of a pit you called home and for the first time realizing how bright the light of day can truly be#when you aren't just getting glimpses from the bottom of a hole

We need more weird historian rep in Doctor Who. The companions are too normal when faced with the prospect of time travel. I want a companion who makes a list of super specific historical destinations related to their dissertation. I want somebody whose first reaction to finding out that the Doctor is a time travelling alien is to create a Microsoft Word document and ask, “What caused the Late Bronze Age collapse?”
#i know ian’s a history teacher but i want a little freak working on their phd. caffeinated and sleep deprived and broke#i haven’t seen a ton of old who though so please let me know if someone does match this description#and my memory of most of moffat’s era is fuzzy at best#edit: BARBARA’s the history teacher i’m sorry i wrote and queued this at 3 AM#doctor who#whoniverse#original post

🕷️Meet Joe Arguelles, a comparative biology Ph.D. student in the Museum’s Richard Gilder Graduate School. His research focuses on understanding the molecular drivers of the incredible mechanical properties of spider silks.
🕸️He also studies the evolution of “prey capture systems” (silk, venom, and vision) in active hunting spiders, and how these genes have changed in response to the loss of web-spinning behavior.

For curiosity’s sake: If you’re a student/academic/scholar of any sort (amateur, professional, what have you), reblog with what you work on in the tags 🌿
#tag meme#letters from the authoress#I’m doing a PhD in art history and my dissertation is on the pazzi family#particularly their patronage/confiscation of property/attempts to reacquire it#ca 1460-1515

Someone send help, this is my "currently reading" pile and I'm fearful it's going to topple over if I keep going at this rate! Worst part is this isn't a complete picture of how out of control I am because I'm reading two fantasy books on my Kobo!
#books#reading#bookblr#currently reading#nightstand#bedside table#booklr#please ignore my antibiotics on top...#in my defence three of these are history related because I MAY be applying for a PhD for 2025 entry#but the rest are just the product of no self control and poor life choices#Oh and I'm not actually worried it's going to fall onto the lot candle

The best study companion <3 I've been spending long days reading feminist and lesbian lit, writing endless notes to the point I've messed up my back (ah, chronic pain, what a delight). Serves me for not taking breaks and stretching. Do your stretches y'all! Learn from me ^^' P.s. that card in the upper left was handmade by my gf.
