Happy National Train Day!

I hate when people won’t let me say I “grew up ugly” in peace. “You were never ugly” YES I WAS. Leave me alone boys used to ask me out as a joke, girls used to call me cow or big bitch and make fun of my clothes. I might not have been “ugly” but I grew up being taught to think I was.

As a person who is physically disabled (ehlers danlos and arthritis) along with having celiac disease, King Arthur has been a genuine life saver. For folks who can't find many of the products in stores (if you're rural like me for example) you can find their products online.

As an addition to this post for people who have/want to eat gluten free and struggle with the texture of the food (like I do), King Arthur's 1 to 1 gf flour is one of the few of flours I've found that doesn't make me feel like I'm not eating something inedible.

My gay historian ass remembering valentines day is just a commercialized evolution of lupercalia bc the Roman's executed two guys with the name valentine on Feb 14th in separate years, and that it can literally be anything you want bc modern valentines day in itself is a reimagining of a reimagining of a brutal fertility festival.

People will say they hate valentine's day bc "it's too commercialized" but say halloween is their favorite holiday w the same breath. It's the color pink all over again 😑

A summary of my grad school orientation:

I got lost in the woods

Weird almond sparkling water (it slapped)

Professors bullying historical figures

Professors damn near giving us panic attacks

Professors lamenting the state of the school

Professors bitching about admin for not giving us our budget 2 DAYS BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS

Lunch break

The new 3 stooges (me and 2 others)

3 of us getting covid for the first time this summer (surprise, it's the stooges)

Lunch communism

"Yo, the cane surprised me" "Yeah I have a gene mutation" "So will it get better?" "No" -cue awkward silence-

ONE OF US DROVE INTO A FIRETRUCK AT 60 MILES PER HOUR???

Nice conversations with professors

Everyone leaving except the GAs

Nearly freezing to death

Cool research projects!!!

Chugging almond water

Free school supplies!!

Coming home to all the cabinets open because of Gilbert, my ghost
