Finallyy I'm officially free from studies ! I graduated and got my master's degree (with a pass of 70% to 80%) ♥♥

It feels so weird to have free time now but I'm gonna enjoy some rest before opening commissions later this summer c: And I'll probably stream more again

Attention Plural Community

I am a Psychology graduate with an opportunity to conduct a research for a Master's Degree. We were originally going to study and detail how alter formation occurs in our system, but I want to produce a paper which will benefit the Plural Community, not RAMCOA organisations.

What research do you want? What research do you believe would benefit plurals and the plural community? Especially something which would bring us closer to legally gaining our rights.

Please spread this post around.

Dear Riddler

What languages do you speak?

And do you have a doctor title or master's degree in any subject?

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Let's see, obviously English, as my mother tongue, then there's Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, German - all of which I speak fluently - I'd say mid-level Greek and Hebrew, I'm still learning those, and a little bit of Russian. Of course I know a couple words and phrases in a large variety of other languages, but those hardly count.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Tshh. Show-off.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Nobody asked for your opinion, Jonathan.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Aight, genius, genuine question: Why do ya know so damn many languages?

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Better. Well, Latin is obvious. French I learned while working with Oswald, since he just loves to surround himself with French women and is generally obsessed with France. Quite useful after the fact, to spy on his meetings and flirt with his assistant to anger him, mh-hm-ha! Of course, I've also visited the country myself, and the locals are much friendlier when you speak to them in their language. Moving on, Spanish is obvious as well. Ah, Italian, because I took quite many trips to Italy, for multiple reasons.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Do these "reasons" by chance have anythin' to do with our local kitty cat?

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Perhaps, perhaps not. Right then, German, oh, there are just too many reasons, from the music, to the inventors, mathematicians, psychologists; To read the works of such great individuals in their original language gives a much broader understanding than to make due with a translation. That isn't just the case with German, obviously, any language I learn is to further and deepen my knowledge in any way, shape or form I can, and learn of the country's history and culture, while I'm at it. Right, Greek and Hebrew, I am learning for that very same reason, and finally, Russian because of too many run-ins with the Bratva to my liking, and I'd rather understand what they're saying to each other, while I'm being held at gunpoint.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Hm, neva had any problems with 'em.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Lucky you. Next question! Doctor title - nope; Master's degree - yes, two, actually. I've got a master's in Computer Forensics and Cyber Security, and another in Forensic Pathology. Initially - ahah, aaah this is hilarious thinking back on it - I was very motivated to fix the corrupt police system, and tried to achieve that from within.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Hehehe, s'ppose that didn't last long.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

It indeed did not. A person of my incredible intellect would quickly come to realize the GCPD is beyond salvation, something the Gordons still refuse to accept, and have to face the harsh reality thereof each and every time. But my studies were in no way for naught - Now, I have access to the vast digital space of databases the police keeps stored. Sure, they change their security system every year, but it's oh so easy to crack ahahahaha! Aaah, the dirt I have on so many officers, investigators, and what have you... The stories I could tell. If you buy them off me mh-hahaha! Oh, another thing on degrees, though; I'd have even more of them by now, as I am self-taught in quite a number of things. Unfortunately, the university isn't corrupt enough to hand out certificates to criminals. Shame. Not that I need them to prove my genius. They'd just look nice on my wall.

after five long years, graduation is finally approaching, and while going through my old notebooks, I came across some notes from a course on automata in natural language processing (one of the first courses I took). initially, I absolutely hated the subject. what I didn’t know at the time was that I would get the highest grade in my class and grow to love it so much that I’m now considering pursuing a PhD in this very field.

[stygean-scholar]

Just submitted my first essay for my master's degree, and so I wanted to give a list of what I do to help me edit papers before turning them in.

I am a big fan of putting brackets [] as a placeholder when I don't know what to write or want to elaborate more later on. I don't write my essays in order and tend to jump around a lot to prevent myself from getting caught up at any point, so this helps to catch my eye as I'm going back through the paper.

As I'm working, I will also highlight parts that don't make as much sense/I want to reword so they stand out for me to come back to.

When going to actual edits, I like to change the font and colour of the text. Typically, I go for purple comic sans. Working for so long in black serif fonts, your eyes start to skip over any mistakes, so this helps to negate that and give you something new to work with.

I don't always do this, but since this assignment was short and I wanted to give it some extra attention, I read the whole thing aloud to check for flow and ensure it all made sense.

This is just what I do, but hopefully these tips will help you! And if you have any other tips or tricks, feel free to add them; I'd love to learn some new methods.

Recently I have been reading into Biopower and Biopolitics which finds its origins in Foucault. Agamben's "Homo Sacer" has been extremely interesting, especially because I wish to do some more research in Disability Studies. I am looking forward to reading Lennard J Davis.

∼ Late August ∼ Study update

I thought the next update would be in September, but I woke up today and I saw in my email box a positive review of my first scientific paper to be published, hurray! It is also pleasing to think that it was written by a professor who is an authority in the field of popular culture and visual arts.

I’ll leave a fragment here so I can come back to it more often 🧡

One of the more interesting research achievements [!] proposed in the forthcoming publication is "Changing stereotypes as a method of creatively using the image of a woman in advertising" by [my name]. Thanks to the rich and interesting literature on the subject, the Author competently [!] presents the issue of creativity in advertising, achieved through the transformation of stereotypes.

The second joyful achievement is that I have completed the design of a large research study. All that remains is to submit it at the end of September and wait for the approval review.

Fingers crossed and at this stage it seems like it makes sense to open the champagne, right?

🌧 my study and daily reflections☕

☕ When I reconnected with my friend from my old uni last year, I was still in postgraduate school and feeling overwhelmed by my dissertation. I hadn't been writing consistently, and my motivation had dwindled. My friend, who happens to be a PhD researcher, shared some valuable advice with me. She suggested incorporating writing into my daily routine, starting right after waking up. Just like brushing your teeth is an instinctive action, she encouraged me to make writing a dissertation a natural part of that routine. Although it might be challenging initially, she assured me that it would gradually become easier. And she was right. I successfully passed my dissertation with a merit. So, I decided to apply this approach to my current study schedule as well.

☕ Random motivational quotes have personally been helpful to me, even if they may seem cliché. They truly made a difference in keeping me motivated. I make notes with these quotes and place them on my desk, so I'm reminded to stay focused on my progress every time I sit down to work.

☕ Studying helps me with depression. In a way, studying is kind of an escape for me, keeping me distracted from depression, but in a good way. I've noticed that I feel less and less depressed when I'm studying.

☕ Tidying up my desk before I go to bed and always ensuring that the kitchen looks tidy, including keeping the sink empty and washing dishes. Makes me feel motivated to prepare delicious food and make a cup of coffee before diving into my study time. It's exactly what I've been doing.

Candace Owens was working at HR at my new job. She gave me a saliva drug test and it came back positive. She decided it looked like a false positive and that it didn't matter. She then congratulated me on having a master's degree. I don't have a master's degree.
