✨Hot girls study hard to have a well paid job ✨

17.07.2024 // finally managed to get a good chunk of writing and reading done today. it is always a struggle to synthesise and coherently articulate all the ideas and thoughts bouncing around in my brain. by the time I manage to write a sentence, my brain has already skipped to the next paragraph and I've to ask it to slow down.

when i say “i can’t talk right now, i’m doing hot girl shit.” what i really mean is “i can’t talk right now, i’m doing my bio hw while listening to classical music and pretending i’m a female scientist in the 1700s learning in secret using books i stole from the academy when they refused to let me in, i’m hiding away in the attic of the opera house (where i work) while the orchestra rehearses beneath me. they’ll never accept me in the world of academia, but i know i’m destined for greatness.”

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.

Here's an interesting question: why has western feminism failed so much at achieving gender equality in STEM careers, meanwhile Iran and many other Muslim countries that are considered to be repressive to women's rights have been so successful at it?

Communist countries of the 20th century were also very successful at getting women into STEM careers, which is why even to this day, after the fall of communism in those countries, roughly half of scientists in Russia and Eastern European countries are women, so this isn't just a Muslim thing. It seems that liberal feminism has failed at getting women into STEM careers, especially in areas like engineering which is a total sausage fest.

Also, this is a good counterpoint to the Jordan Peterson/James Damore argument of women supposedly just being innately less interested in STEM careers because of their biology or whatever.

Clearly that's not the case since many countries around the world have already achieved gender equality in STEM careers, so this is really just a failure of the liberal west, not a result of women's innate biology like the Jordan Petersons and James Damores of the world suggest.

Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not as bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother's fate.

Fleabag and Différance: A Spectacle of ‘Excess’

I made this ppt for my final paper presentation for an art philosophy and aesthetics course on contemporary art. I used the case study of a contemporary media show fleabag to uncover the aesthetic experience of her "excesses"

here's my main argument if anyone wants to know:

I analyze Fleabag’s scenes and shot compositions to examine the aesthetic experience of Fleabag’s ‘excesses' to argue how Fleabag’s character negotiates the tension between traditional and neoliberal feminist gender norms through her ‘excess’— her humor, emotionality and the act of breaking the fourth wall. The spectacle of her 'excess' reveals the working of différance as articulated by feminist art history theorist Griselda Pollock. Ultimately, the performance in her 'excess" serves as a counternarrative challenging the binary gender performativity of “being a woman” from both patriarchal and neoliberal feminist perspectives

Continuing the long process of reading as much as I can get my hands on! But I have so many concepts and thoughts in my head that sometimes I lose track ^^' so I've started doing mind maps and they've really helped! Not just with my mountain of a literature review, but also for writing articles. (the middle pot with the cat was painted by me, I think its so cute :3)
