one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

“Despite the stories delivered to us by the likes of Gildas and Bede, there’s no tangible evidence - so far - for an unusually high level of migration into southern Britain in the early medieval period. Of course there were incomers - there always are, there always have been. And ancient genomics will help to reveal the extent of the comings and goings in the first millennium. But there’s also a continuity we’ve tended to miss, or at least pass over, in popular accounts - from prehistory into Roman times, into the early medieval period - and beyond. The story of the Anglo-Saxon migration and colonisation of what would become England has become so widely accepted - on so thin an evidence base, when we actually pause to scrutinise it. …

And here we are at the dawn of this new age of archaeogenomics, and suddenly we have the tools available to start tackling some of these questions about population movement in the past, to look at how people travelling might have influenced the cultural changes that archaeologists have wondered about for so long.

And what we’re not seeing - not yet, at least - is anything which looks as profound, dramatic or widespread as the later medieval histories might have suggested. The Adventus Saxonum looks more like evolution than revolution.”

Eldritch/not-entirely-human Grunkle Stan stories have been eating away at my brain, so I have a silly little concept of Mimic!Stan.

He and his Mystery Shack are both mimics that lure tourists in as a literal "tourist trap" to gather and devour them! Since the house is alive, it raises a few (read: several) child safety concerns that lead to a LOT of rules to be created for Dipper and Mabel to follow when they eventually arrive, such as:

Be careful not to get lost in the winding hallways! The Mystery Shack is bigger on the inside, and you don't want to end up in the wrong areas.

Don't go through randomly appearing doors, they may eat you.

If you think you feel the walls around you breathing and the floor beneath you shifting, no, you don't.

If you think the walls feel a bit damp, you're imagining it.

Watch your fingers around windowsills! You wouldn't want to lose any of them.

Don't linger too long under the doorframes; it may start feeling like they are slowly constricting around you.

As much as I complain about it, this internship has taught me more in two weeks than I have learnt probably all my life. Research is fun, truly, and I hope I get to see more fruits of my labor soon.

I don't know which is funnier... the concept of the receptionist and the perv being the Martin and Jon we know, who got shoved into this world, and they found their counterparts missing, so they assumed their identities and started doing literal role-play therapy... this world's Martin and Jon got sucked into the computers. OR, the receptionist and the perv are the Martin and Jon who are naturally in this world, they have no concept of spooky things, and are instead struggling with a meet-cute that also has problems of professionalism/dating somebody who is seeing the therapist you work for, meanwhile the Martin and Jon we know really did get shoved into the Windows 95 Cyberspace Matrix

this is actually my understanding of the whole thing (assuming that the cameo in ep 17 is indeed a cameo. Personally, I think this IS a jmart cameo but not a plot relevant one)

It's established that Darrien came from another dimension, meaning the jmart that he encountered are not from the tmp verse. He also doesn't come from the tma verse because the Jon and Martin from his dimension are presumably living in Oxford and have different jobs. What really bugs me is that Darrien gave a statement sometime before 1999 (before the Institute burned down) so he must have also traveled a few years backwards since jmart would still have been in their tweens/early teens at this time.

09/10/2024 - Handed in my first draft of my second lit essay! AHHHHHHH! Daughters of Albion is such fire tho, but the distinct lack of feedback from my professor is mildly frustrating.

i very much understand why folks might not be lovers of the sims series but i swear it has the most meaningful banter and lore drops to me... also every time phil says something about when dan was at uni i'm like oh. because you knew each other. you were there when he was writing these essays probably. and i'm So normal about it
