Jason: We need to restart the world. No more blondes.

Tim: *sleep deprived* Yes! Great plan!

Jason: *pauses* Wait, isn't your girlfriend blonde?

Tim: *sipping his coffee* No comment.

ANOTHER fun supervisor anecdote for you guys. we were having dinner and my co-supervisor had just told an insane story about her ex and i was like OH! have i told you guys a story about my insane ex? to which my other supervisor went “im sure you have but im dying to hear it anyway” and then during another conversation i said something along the lines of “yeah i just try to never wear white shirts because i spill a lot” and my supervisor went “what are you TALKING about you wear them all the time???” like observant king??

Dying a little bit because the source I've been spending the most time with (other than Burton) for my melancholia project is Johann Freitag's 1678 Kurtzer Bericht von der Melancholia Hypochondriaca, which is a fascinating, fairly dense read that clearly has a lot of valuable information, but the thing is:

My German is already not amazing, and this is Early Modern, Fraktur-printed nonsense that I'm really struggling through

There is like no scholarship on the author or the book. Which really makes me want to write about it, since it would probably look good to consult a lesser-known source instead of just re-treading ground everyone else has already covered (like Burton), but also. Especially with my limited German. How do I do that confidently.

And this is a one-semester undergrad research project, not a PhD thesis or anything, so I really don't know how far I should try to chase it, but the part of me that yearns for grad school is going bonkers.

[applejee]

every so often im like, damn is it really worth getting a different job… leaving my incredible team…. some things i do are so great….

but then i get days or weeks straight of shit i can’t stand and im endlessly going “i can’t stand this i have to get out” so like. obviously. i know the solution.

but my team :(

[zillua]

got straight up called ugly by a dude at work today cause im not as feminine as the other coworkers (his words) got silent expecting my supervisor to say something. she laughed along with him.

I am awake and getting ready for work, but at what cost.

[killerandhealerqueen]

First day of work complete! It went really well, I like my coworkers…I think I’m gonna like it here

[applejongho]

not that it's related, but it def is a little funny that DEI gets revoked at my workplace and then a week later i get directly called "dumb" by a senior that is a man
