24.02.23 - Day 52/103

Can't believe there's so little of my break left yet still so much left to do 🥲 I did get a good chunk further today though which means I can at least relax a tiny bit on the last weekend off (still need to study for the exam tho). Comfort mug and nice scented candle were excellent supplies.

did some laundry

finished summarising all the Sachunterricht seminars

planned most of the lessons for next week and prepared some of the materials

took a walk to school to tidy up my corners of the classroom and check out the supply room for my upcoming unit on air

copied some worksheets while I was there

got some loose-leaf tea to make my own mixture since I seem to be coming down with a cold 😢

no matter how many educationals i attend on the subject of marxist political economy i still can't discern whether i'm lumpenprole or a petit bourgeois artisan because i'm both and sometimes flip flop between the two. trying to proletarianize myself but can't because i'm in the reserve army of labour and the only way i can figure out how to make any income outside of disability support is to do the petit bourgeois artisan thing really badly because the market refuses to allow me to join the proletariat. economics is fascinating

out of curiosity, which outfits did you find interesting (despite the theme) this year?

Everyone who dressed up like Lagerfeld's cat was doing their damndest to infuse some artistic interest back into what's meant to be an over-the-top art museum costume gala, and bless them for it

Apparently this is Doja Cat. Good job, Doja Cat. You will be spared the Snake Pit For Low-Effort Millionaires.

And the folks who in other ways tried to do something eccentric and elaborate despite the theme basically being Here Is An Excuse To Dress Boring For The Met Gala

I do not know enough about Lagerfeld's work to know what this has to do with the most recent Sketchy Yet Famous honoree, but Janelle Monae at least looks Artistic And Weird. Good for her!

Thank the gods for Lil Nas X.

Google says this is Met Gala co-chair Michaela Coel. The placement of the "pasties" and fringe-looking "skirt" beading remind me of Josephine Baker, but that's probably just my very specific frame of reference. Either way, love it!

I need to catch up on What We Do In The Shadows. Anyway, Harvey Guillien is fast cementing himself as one of the few Men Who Understand The Assignment every year.

As is tradition, my sister sent me JChas' look, and as seems to be tradition, it was a lovely and very Safe dress that I'm sure had something or other to do with the theme. That being said, I do think that shade of blonde makes her look like a mom who exclusively dresses little Brynleigh-Aynn in taupe:

Solid! Possibly going to yell at a Whole Foods employee for not having the organic vegan gluten-free water brand she wants, but only after she's acquitted of her rich husband's murder.

also like i partially found out i might be intersex because i was looking at trans stuff and there was like "(however many) months on t and finally seeing some bottom growth" and like pictures of t-dicks and i was like.... um.... that's kind of just what my clit looks like anyways. so i was like "hey google give me a quick rundown on this" and learned what clitoromegaly was and then i was like. hm. intersex resources. and it's like a sign? symptom? side-effect? of certain intersex conditions

Thinking about it more, I think maybe part of why the Redfern thing is weird for me and why I was so utterly blindsided by it is that it never once occurred to me that "Dr. Redfern" was a real person. Or at least not a currently living person.

I think this is a time thing. I live in hellyear 2023, where corporations are people and brands are soulless monsters papering over their sins with the masks of their long dead founders. I don't expect Dr. Redfern to be real in the way I don't expect Mrs. Butterworth to be real or Dr. Bronner (of the soap company) to still be alive. Whereas LMM was writing in the 1920s, when meeting the self-made millionaire whose name is all over the radio is a thing that could plausibly happen, if only to a very select few. I think the whole thing might well read as way less weird to a reader at the time.

Which makes me think that the modern AU equivalent isn't that Barney is a secret Walton or a secret Disney or something but that he's secretly the kid of a musician or a sports star. Like, Valancy comes home and finds John Elway waiting for her. Or, like, a game show host who's very well known and very rich but also kind of a joke. Like, if the whole story had been peppered with Valancy seeing George Clooney advertising Nescafe and Cousin Stickles drinking only Nescafe because she trusted only George Clooney with her coffee, and then Valancy finds out at the 11th hour that her husband is secretly George Clooney's kid, it might not have been quite so jarring. Because George Clooney is a real person who exists for me, whereas, like, Dr. Scholl is not.

I don't really keep up with Watcher anymore aside from the drunk ghost stories, but oh my god leaving Youtube and starting your own streaming service, let alone during a period where people have like no money and people are very annoyed with streaming services, is such a terrible idea

First day of family medicine rotation, enjoying it but still feeling tired from the holidays and struggling to get back into a routine. At least my friends’ cat is adorable 🥰

i'm finally alive enough that at least some of the creativity i once had is coming back, but i didn't really realize just how bad it had been and for how long. it's now 10 years since i had first started writing, and i was in rough shape even then, and i'm just now starting to get those same glimmers of inspiration again.

naturally, it exclusively happens while driving so i can't write any of it down lol

the billionaires paying off the government to shape it to suit them will not voluntarily give up power, the working class must seize this power. trump does not stand for the average american but rather only serves to further divide the working class, by appealing overwhelmingly to folks that share his views of hatred and feeding them lies to make them believe their neighbor is the enemy instead of elon musk or jeff bezos. this distraction of in-fighting in the working class then diminishes the ability to organize and allows the mega-rich to do whatever they want behind the scenes. folks don't notice that these people are infringing on their rights because they're too concerned with harboring hate towards their immigrant neighbor or their liberal kids, who were never their enemy until trump told them so. it's all part of the plan to increase the divide between rich and poor and increase the power of the rich.
