college student doing astrophysics research! rogue botanist in my spare time! I'm madly in love with small birds, My-SM, and mellifluous words.

joined mastodon bc i want a better twitter, a cozier cave to carve out a home in, and a friendlier void to yell my thoughts into.

really just a ghost made from a bedsheet draped over ten thousand conflicting enthusiasms:

today i need to convince someone to let me work on research under them and i'm in desperate need of advice about how to do it.

they have their own wikipedia page and their name on a law. I'm very intimidated by this. my current advisor is friends with them and is encouraging me to do it. they do research in a subfield i'm enamored with, and i've talked to them amicably in detail about the work they do before.

If anyone has suggestions that would be amazing

This explosion of absurdity can induce panic, unreality, being overwhelmed and desiring control, order, normalcy. Finding the appeal in fascism.

What I want you to do is lean into this though
If all this absurd shit can be true what else can we make true
Clearly the boundaries of what's realistic have collapsed entirely
Nothing is off the table

Tear down the outlines around you. Do shit you never thought was worth it before. Try to change the world in ways you thought were futile. Clearly now is the time

college means you can stand on a swivel chair with a blanket fresh out of a drier on your head and spin in circles laughing

thinking of fucking around and setting myself on fire to check if i’m secretly a phoenix
