my final paper for gender studies is about white feminism in buffy which is so interesting to me and i've been reading so many academic articles about it and been watching so much buffy lately that it's just a hyperfixation at this point. except gender studies is my best class and i should really worry about all my other finals lmao

#went down a rabbit hole of horror theory the other night and just OUGHH #dream job is horror scholar #i don't want to teach people tho. i just want to read and write articles #but also academia is so elitist and inaccessible and even tho i love it i also hate it sometimes #and also i want a job that actually helps people and contributes things to the world #so i'd like to find a job where i can also help people and do things in the real world #either do both at the same time or two jobs #i've also been thinking of being a media critic for a while like in regular journalism which feels more accessible to the 'real world' to #me and like every time i think abouut that being not useful enough i think about how there is always going to be art and always people to #facilitate conversations about art and devoting time to art and media and entertainment is a way of preserving those things in a society #devoted to production and consumption #and ideally i'd also do an intersectional critique of everything and combine my critical theory major and english major to analyze #everything in relation to our culture #because i'm so incredibly interested in how pop culture reflects our time but also specifically with horror since that is my special intere #st #but anyway. buffy hyperfixation :3
