is there any greater joy in life than putting on an indie album and browsing the titles of recent phd dissertations at prospective universities?

me to academia if i get an A on my thesis:

We can plant a memory garden

Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair

There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair

And we will never go back

To that bloodshed, crimson clover

The worst was over

My hand was the one you reached for

All throughout the Great War

Always remember

We're burned for better

I vowed I would always be yours

'Cause we survived the Great War

ok guys be proud of me. i finished my first semester of grad school!! 4 more to go. feeling v accomplished because the governing body for my career says we can't get lower than an 83% on any assignment or as a final grade (otherwise we fail) so I'm so happy that I got above 90% on everything!

would not have been possible without the power of tumblr and fanfic. you guys are real ones for getting me through.

needed to hear that thing about confidence!!

PhDay 30: one month as a PhD student done

Wow a lot of stuff has been going on. I've made friends already. I've been on an experiment already. Got a vague plan for the future and a list of potential directions to go in for my project.

Things I've learnt:

Higher year PhD students are very nice and welcoming

Parties are great for making friends even if you're socially awkward

Travelling for research is cool and not as bad as pre-travel anxiety makes you fear

Being trans in a physics department/research environment is fine. The research centre abroad didn't mind I had a different name on my passport

You can actually dive right in and be respected as a part of academia as a total newbie if you will yourself to have confidence

No one knows fully what they are doing, they only know some bits of what they're doing. You learn one bit at a time.

Ally being the Murph of the season (knowing the rules, helping others out, honoring the cock) is everything to me

I will return to not stanning politicians tomorrow but watching Kamala Harris destroy Donald Trump is like a religious experience to me. She's leading him into traps to distract him into saying nonsense about crowd sizes, pointing out how he is an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon, and just nailing every question.

I am smiling So Much after a really shitty day.

Now I understand why some people start riots when they win at sports.

This is the woman who made Brett Kavanaugh cry and she is here to break Trump like he's a glass at a Jewish wedding.

Day 1 of preparing for my Master's degree!

I'm starting my Master's next month, so I'm finally starting to prepare. I'm visiting my parents at the moment so I took the opportunity to do some studying at my high school favourite cafe :) Today, I:

Started thinking of dissertation topics - there's one I'm really excited for but I need to do a lot of further reading and thinking before committing to it!;

Read an article from a list of introductory readings for one of my modules;

Finally sent a few emails I've been putting off sending for a month now.

I'll be honest, my brain isn't working too well today - I only got 3 hours of sleep because I caught an early flight this morning.

The most posthumanist June of my life.

How do you express loneliness?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently writing my master’s thesis in social work on the topic of loneliness. After already having written a bachelor's thesis on loneliness during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown using a questionnaire as a research tool, my thesis supervisor and I came to the conclusion to stay on the same topic but handle it with a different approach.

Everyone has had experiences with loneliness in their life. No matter if they felt lonely themselves or heard about it, seen it on TV or read about it. Within my master’s thesis I want to explore the different ways people express loneliness. The research question of the master's thesis is therefore: "How do you express loneliness?".

My idea was to base the research on submissions. Within the submissions everything is possible, no matter if it is textual or written, artistic, videos, songs, photography or anything else that might help contextualize loneliness. (Examples could be: poems, texts, essays, haikus, lyrics, paintings, drawings, collages, videos, songs, photos etc.)

Please send your submissions to the Google Forms page created for this purpose: https://forms.gle/dF8xYQYz51ncUwSp9

Or to the e-mail: expressingloneliness@gmail.com

(If you’re German or can speak the language, please make sure to submit your work in German because that is the language the master’s thesis will be written in. But I am grateful for any and all submissions)

All submissions are confidential and will only be used for the purpose of research for my master’s thesis. All submissions are anonymous and any information to any personal information will be anonymized.

If you have any questions or suggestions please make sure to reach out to me! You can find me at the e-mail address: expressingloneliness@gmail.com or @howdoyouexpressloneliness on tumblr.com.

Thank you for participating!
