moodboard for this past week ❤️

#they should invent a grad school thats not fucking insane #i'm hanging in there but im the most unwell i've been in AWhile #this week was just horrible #there was already the freezer food incident but it also started off with a very severe pain episode thats putting me in constant woe #even mundane motion has been agonizing which is McAwesome bc we had a lab inspection which involved moving hundreds of pounds of equipment #during which we found a blackwidow and rats which we had to deal with and was a whole thing psychologically on top of the physical toll #the new class fiasco is still popping off and i had to respond to at this point over 400 emails in the fleeting moments outside of lab #AND A STUDENT TRIED TO FINANCIALLY BRIBE THEIR WAY INTO THE CLASS ? ?? ?? ?????#then the instructor wanted to use me as a guinea pig and i had to test new circuit boards but I wasnt given any time to do so properly #i had to test them plus get them operational and deal with my incoming students all in a frantic 10 minute window #im in charge of running our meetings too but the instructor was interrupting and having side conversations that made it really hard-#to train the other people on the new equipment in a smooth manner #which meant that a bunch of people had to keep me after to ask questions which made me late for my drs appointment #where i found out i cant get the new covid vaccine bc my heart and blood levels arnt stable enough #and joanns lost an expensive+critical fabric order of mine+i had to give a big presentation this week on my research that was stressful #and my inbox is still blowing up from being needed all over the place between teaching lab and classes and yall i am. so so tired.#im in so much pain and so stressed out #debating the ethics of turning into a pile of lint to escape my responsibilities and mortal frame

I’m gonna brag on myself for a minute because my self-confidence has been shit lately (thanks winter, for your annual crushing blow to my ego!) but I am, in fact, really good at language acquisition. Like, heretofore it was kind of a stupid superpower that I had never once thought to use for Good

which is why, when I had some kind of visitation from The Lort Almightee last summer and They were like "heyy how about you do something to tangibly improve the place where you live. and also start supporting tribal sovereignty. immediately"

I was like (falling out of my chair, trembling) "uhhhhhh I can learn languages weirdly fast??" and lo, God threw the newly-created UMN Dakota Language major directly in my face and Commanded, "GET TO WORK BITCH"

#true story #when people ask why I’m learning Dakota and want to help teach it as a non-native #I have to be like #quick vibe check #can I tell this person that I’m an atheist but God Told Me To Do It Anyway #or nah #the worst was the white nurse who gave me my covid vaccine at the university clinic #she was making small talk and asked about my major only to be like *how do they even know what Dakota sounds like anymore*#and I was like *DAKOTA PEOPLE ARE VERY MUCH AROUND AND HAVE BEEN SPEAKING DAKODIA THE WHOLE TIME THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT*#first speakers didn’t carry their language and culture through the horrors of the boarding school era(s) for you to disrepect them like thi

please enjoy a minute of me writing never knew the best was yet to come on my new keyboard where you can literally see how many typos i make, me and the backspace bar are besties

#fun fact: because i was brains they thought not important to teach me how to type #and taught me maths instead at a higher level which never once was useful #anyway now i type weird #before covid i could only type with one finger at a time so this is a win #luca writes

teaching my class later is going to be so bad it was already going to be bad because of having a week off and now i get to add to that "being out of my mind from illness". cant wait to give the most incoherent gaelic lesson ever

eyes leaking out of my skull

#my high school no longer has a choir teacher (in my time there were three different ones)#one gave up on middle schoolers after covid and went to an elementary school #one was teaching every single program (band orchestra choir) at once for the first year which didn't go any kind of way really #the other one was a math teacher who also happened to be a musician so they made him the new choir teacher #but he was only here for a year bc school exchange program for teachers from other countries #so now we're back to the first guy who didn't do jack shit #i didn't have many friends in choir bc frankly ir sorta sucked but those of my little friends who are still there like #on god i will find you ways to be in good choirs kids trust me trust me #bluebird.txt #ON GOD I WILL HELP YOU GET INTO A GOOD PROGRAM #even if they don't so music degrees please for the love of god i want you to have. good music teachers.#not just guys who happen to be musicians and are not even trying.

also this will be my last post re: downstairs neighbor but i could literally be working out to an aerobics video. i could have kids or a dog that lived with me and were running around playing. either one is a perfectly valid thing to do in your own apartment during normal waking hours. i'm assuming this man is WFH and having trouble focusing but like. if you work remotely in an apartment you cannot assume that your neighbors will be unmoving and quiet as the dead for the entire day. that is an unfair assumption. other people make noise and a lot of buildings are not soundproofed well. imo if it is not regular sleeping hours you kind of have to get over it even if it's harsh to say this.

#during covid i was teaching from home and had a neighbor that was im assuming an opera singer and was practicing frequently during the day #and i did not say jack or shit to her.#the only time ive done anything with neighbor noise is in my last apartment my upstairs neighbor were a couple that was always fighting and #a couple times i would go up and stand by their door in case i needed to intervene in case it became like a domestic violence type situatio

Do me a huge favor and if you’re not normal abt fat people please leave

As in Im 280lbs and 5’5” and I don’t want to hear you tell me to exercise. And I shouldn’t have to explain why or lay out my legitimate concerns about moving my body safely for you to stop fucking doing that shit to me or anyone else

#sometimes I don’t want to work out because my whole body hurts #sometimes I don’t want to because my joints feel unstable #and sometimes it’s because I’m tired #most of the time it’s because nobody ever stopped to teach me how to do it without hurting myself #nor do I have access to people who could teach me #I don’t know how to run without it displacing a whole disc in my back #and yes: sometimes the answer is I don’t goddamn want to #though usually the answer is I don’t want to have to wear a mask on a weight machine #because Covid never ended for me

いつまでどこまでなんて正常か異常かなんて考える暇も無い程歩くのは大変だ

#今日の気分は #songs for the first day of class when you're still recovering from covid -_-v #(I am teaching remotely)#okay but like. every time I remember this song. I'm like. why. how does this exist #who was like 'yes we'll put these extremely downbeat lyrics with this extremely upbeat tune. also Hatsune Miku will be there'#to be clear: this rules. it's such a specific emotion. but also why. what was the planning process for this #music #Bump of Chicken #Hatsune Miku #Youtube

Thinking so sadly about people who thought doing research papers in high school was stupid and now they can't be bothered to fact-check literally anything on their social media feeds so they're falling down political rabbitholes or gaining other bizarre untrue understandings of the world because they legitimately just don't know the basics of double-checking a claim.

#i got into an argument irl with a semi covid denier recently and it blew my mind how much he was just like #'yeah well literally any outside source i encounter could be lying so obviously my own judgement is the one true metric'#like thats. thats not how it works.#you are fallible you are ignorant #thats not an insult thats just the reality of what it means to be human #you cannot know everything all the time #stay skeptical bc yes hypothetically anyone COULD lie #but many many people just want to teach you the truth and you deserve to learn it #it speaks

the current discourse about how gen z and alpha suck at school is literally so dumb. guys its capitalism

#'parents arent teaching their kids' oh yeah famously rich millennial parents who have the time to do that between multiple jobs?#'there arent enough teachers' there might be if they were getting paid and didnt feel pressured to go into exclusively stem #'teachers work too long' school is used as a substitute for childcare when parents work outside the home #younger children cant come home until their parents. again plural. are done with work #'even high schoolers are Acting Up' they feel hopeless because increasing productivity is being expected of them #and obviously because of covid which was hopelessly mishandled for the sake of the stock market #also gen x parents have substituted real connection or caring for their children for 'keeping them safe' (downloadig life360)
