It’s A Privilege To Study, Many Women Around The World Are Barred From This Human Right: To Read, Write

please please please remember that no matter what your manager says, it is never that serious. unless you are literally performing surgery or defusing a bomb, it simply is not that serious

"what did students do before chatgpt?" well one time i forgot i had a history essay due at my 10am class the morning of so over the course of my 30 minute bus ride to school i awkwardly used by backpack as a desk, sped wrote the essay, and got an A on it.

six months later i re-read the essay prior to the final exam, went 'ohhhh yeah i remember this', got a question on that topic, and aced it.

point being that actually doing the work is how you learn the material and internalize it. ChatGPT can give you a short cut but you won't build you the the muscles.

Log: 23 Feb

☀ Morning ▸ Breakfast + journal ▸ Research Work (RO) ▸ Light stretching

🌿 Afternoon ▸ Deep-clean workspace + tidy up ▸ Lunch+ write up ▸ Catch up on research (editing)

🌙 Evening ▸ Call home ▸ Yoga ▸ Go shopping ▸ Wind down with a movie or podcast

you don’t need perfect conditions to start. you just need to start. five minutes of focus is better than waiting for motivation to come.

despite at this point ritual-like patterns of upheaval, it is definitely nice to be back. I've picked some spring research that I really am proud of and may transform into a PhD, plus now happens to be winter pride, so I am immersed in writing and queers. library in the top right is the Black Diamond :)

the witchy urge to just be naked and swim in a spring under the full moon.
