people with bad taste are always like “yurr hurr The Beach is about zuko and mai and how they’re a great couple” while intellectuals know that Actually The Beach is about mining any and all of the untapped friendship potential of this striking exchange
Fun history facts: One of the 31 people arrested at Stonewall on June 28th 1969 was American folk singer Dave Van Ronk, who was not at the Stonewall Inn at the time and was cis & straight as far as I'm aware. He'd been eating dinner at a nearby restaurant when he noticed a riot happening, said "Well I suppose I should go see what the fuss is about," stepped outside, and immediately started throwing bricks at the cops.
this guy has the most difficult bird of all time but he loves him anyway
i am delighted to inform you of the existence of the Rosefinch, which is a real actual bird that exists!
It feels like I just blinked and all of a sudden 3 years have passed. Time will continue to move forward whether or not we like it. And while that means nothing good ever lasts, it also means all of our sadness will someday end. It’s just a matter of time.

I didn't think I'd be doing this again after I got my undergraduate degree, but it looks like I'm back on studyblr. Right now I'm doing some online classes, but I'm prepping some grad school applications and if those go well I will be a full time student again.
Like before, my posts will mostly be for me to look back on, and not too highly polished. Think of a journal about studying and you'll have reasonable expectations.
Today I did a session of my Interplanetary Spacecraft and Satellite Engineering course. I'm just wrapping up the section on different kinds of propulsion. At first I was skeptical of the quality and depth an online course could provide, but I think this course covers the main topics and gives you a good baseline to evaluate new ideas and go into more research on your own.
I've also been trying to get outside more often, the other picture is some salt ponds I visited last weekend.
shout out to all the people who identify with gifted kid burnout syndrome who are probably just neurodivergent but werent diagnosed as a child, who used to devour books like it was nothing and never really understood why the protagonist would leave their cool fantasy world behind to go back home at the end of the story, and who are now extremely disappointed in reality and use escapism as their primary coping mechanism. how’s that bisexuality and deep-rooted anger at the school system going for you?
