Scientists ought to study the chemical link between Butches and trans men* and transmasc* people. Like, they say that the triple bond is one of the hardest to break, but I don't think they've looked at the bond between a trans guy and a Butch

My favourite paper doesn't come in a notebook form so i made myself one. The cover is made with washable paper, so it won't stain easily and will weather nicely. I just joined each four pieces of paper on a sewing machine and then threaded them through metal eyelets on the cover, so i can just exchange it once i use it all up.

Used up the leftover paint from the palette i did the previous art with for a quick gradient and decided to add a stork with the ink liner :)

How much outdoor experience did you have BEFORE choosing Geoscience as a major? Poll Results and Analysis

Despite total response at 67 people, I think the curve is very interesting. Traveling and being outdoors does seem to be a reason people choose geology.

If I could run the poll again with a larger sample size, I would include Year of Graduation (if possible), to see if there are changing trends over time, and also a Rural Travel/Rural Non-Travel to see if there are specific trends within Rural community responders.

-=- Discussion -=-

Geoscience programs show declining enrollment across the world and many smaller programs have closed due to that lack of enrollment.

I argue from the poll results that this trend might reflect larger cultural trends. The people who choose geoscience are driven by curiosity in the differences of the world around them. Exposure to those differences is enhanced by Travel, second only to the outdoors being readily available in rural areas.

Yet in America at least, travel is often cost-prohibitive except to Middle Class to Upper-Middle Class families. I propose that the decline of geoscience as a major might be connected to a decline in outdoor exposure, whether than be in time available to go hiking, outdoor access, travel being cost-prohibitive, school field trip funding, or suburban areas.

-=- Description of Options Given -=-

Not a lot (grew up in the suburbs/city; no hiking)

Urban Exposure (grew up in the suburbs/city; outdoors a lot)

Travel Exposure (grew up in the suburbs/city; traveled and was outdoors a lot)

Rural Exposure (grew up in a smaller city/town; outdoors a lot)

Familial Exposure (urban or rural community; family member was in geosci)

Familial and Natural Exposure (Lots of outdoor experience with family member in geosci)

Probably going to print out my text block today. Here’s some comparisons to the first one I bound. The first time I was intentionally trying to make it as short as possible with little text and small margins so I was dealing with fewer signatures. This is over 100 pages longer (150 ish -> 280 ish) but (I think) looks more similar to a “real” hardcover typeset.

Debating just printing it on regular printer paper because I can’t find letter sized paper in the right color and weight that won’t require trimming and I’m not sure I’m ready to drop $50 on the right paper. Though for 1000 sheets it’s not a bad price for specialty paper.
