Anyone have planner recommendations for grad students? Would really like something that has an hour set up (either weekly or daily) with good, thick paper.
Follow up question:
is anyone using a filofax and/or ring binder for a planner? how do yall like it?
lol...hello again
After forgetting (again) about this blog, I've decided (to try) to revive it.
Because I'm heading back to grad school, babey!
To bring this blog back up to speed, I was originally going for a Master's in Teaching back in 2021/2022 and ended up not finishing the program. Mostly because I could not afford the professional semester and I figured out I really liked working in higher education much more than I did in K-12.
So I stepped back from that program in Fall 2022 and went back home. Worked a couple different odd jobs before ending up at a community college in the FA office. And while I have really liked the job and people, I decided to take the plunge and go back for a Master's in Higher Ed, which I will be starting this fall in Boston!
All of this to say: I'm extremely interested in following other graduate school students, post-grad blogs, or anything like that.
How do i fix this shit?
hate it.
every now and then i have to think of the roman family from two thousand years ago that buried their little daughter in a boy’s athletic-themed sarcophagus and i weep a little because that’s the softest declaration of love i can possibly imagine
i am once again emotional and sleep deprived so let me elaborate to make myself feel better.
octavia paulina was a six year old girl whose sarcophagus was found in her family’s tomb at via triumphalis in rome, dated roughly around the third century a.d. her parents mourned her mors immatura, her premature death, by having the wall behind her sarcophagus painted with the image of a giant meadow with children and a chariot pulled by doves accompanied by hermes leading an unconscious girl into afterlife. (to my knowledge, the doves and the fact that they were led by hermes was a symbol for hope.)
the sarcophagus itself shows athletic competitions between girls and boys alike, and in the most important one on the front, octavia paulina appears as the winner (a palm branch in her hand, which is meant to symbolize her strength and honor, her virtus). her opponent is sitting on the floor, upset. what really stands out is that octavia paulina’s parents ordered a common sarcophagus that was usually used to bury boys with athletic interests or futures but then proceeded to have it remodeled — smaller heads and genitalia cut off etc — to include girls in the relief.
i just get very soft when i think about parents ordering a sarcophagus for their little daughter who think it’s perfect for her and who remodel it to make it even more accurate for her. the thought of parents more than 1.700 years ago thinking their six year old daughter deserves a sarcophagus that fits her personality (rather than what was expected of her as a young girl of the time) despite none being available and then ordering for it to be altered makes me wanna scream because it’s such a human and caring thing to do. maybe octavia paulina even had a say in this because it took weeks to months to make a sarcophagus this detailed.
disclaimer: a lot of this messy little thing was transcribed from what my professor has told us in his sarcophagus class and this article; this is just a rambling post, it isn’t detailed or well put or structured properly, and not fit for scientific research.
In 2000 a Roman tomb from the first century DC was found in Grottaferrata, near Rome. Inside there were two sarcofagi in white marble identifying their occupants. Both people had died in summer, albeit years apart from each other, and had been preserved (an unusual detail that suggests they might have been followers of the cult of Isis). They were mother and son, other inscriptions tell us the tomb had been commissioned by the woman’s younger daughter (the half sister of the man) Antestia Balbina.
The young man, Carvilio Gemello, was around 18 when he died, likely as a consequence of a bone fracture in his leg. The woman, Aebutia, was around forty forty-five when she died and was buried wearing this ring (now housed in the Palestrina Archeological museum)
Behind the quartz window we can still see the face of Carvilio Gemello engraved in a golden miniature that his mother commissioned.
In a way, Aebutia and the parents of Octavia Paulina, succeeded in defying death with their acts of love. After thousands of years we can still see the face of Carvilio Gemello like his mother last saw him, know that Octavia Paulina was an athletic little girl beloved by her family. Life was unkind to both so those who loved them tried to make sure memory wouldn’t be.

): so I lost a week of pay because my household had a covid scare and I'm nearly out of food + only making enough to cover rent this Friday when we get paid. It's currently sitting at three whole weeks until I'll really be able to get groceries so if anyone has a few bucks to send this way for grocery money I could probably get three weeks' worth with $75-100. reblogs are super appreciated, thanks for helping get us through some rough times, I will be updating in the notes 💖💖

hey everyone. turkey has been struck by a very strong earthquake around four am. even now, many regions are being struck still. the weather is cold and snowy and people had to leave their homes. many people have lost their lives (edit: it’s been reported that the number is 1004 now) and there are many people who are stuck under the wrecks. it has been reported that around two thousand buildings have collapsed and keep collapsing. turkey has declared a fourth level alert state. the ‘’level 4’’ alarm condition includes an international call for help. if you can and would like to, this is the most reliable organization you can donate to:

Hello! Unfortunately, I have to ask for money again. If you follow me, you probably know that in recent months my disability has worsened drastically, and I'm in the process of pursuing a diagnosis. Because of my disability, I'm unable to work, and have no income while being financially dependent on my parents, who have been inconsistent about paying for my medical needs.
My joint pain has progressed to the point that I need mobility aids, and while my cane is helpful and more convenient for short distances, I would like to buy a pair of forearm crutches, which would allow me to be on my feet for much longer. The pair I'm looking at, smart crutches, are $200, but would be much easier on my joints because of how they distribute my body weight. I have no set timeline, but would like to be able to have them before the fall semester starts, since I'll be back on campus!
My p-yp-l is @anguyen443; every couple of dollars adds up! Thank you <3
$0/$200
I could cry!!! i'm so close to $200 thank you all so much oh my goodness! I only need roughly another $45! I'll delete this addition when I've met the goal thank you thank you <3
$155/$200

shinzo abe was an imperialist and not only excused/denied the actions of japan during its imperial period and the war crimes enacted against koreans, chinese, and southeast asians but supported policies with the desire to bring about another period of japanese imperialist expansion and was by-definition a fucking fascist. may he never rest in peace
some of y’all have the worst takes on asian politics LMFAOOOOOOO shinzo abe was an imperialist and all your memes about breeding kinks when he fervently denied the sexual enslavement of tens of thousands of predominantly korean, but also chinese, filipino, pacifika, chamorro, and vietnamese women and GIRLS!!!! children!!!!!! ever even HAPPENED are in extremely poor taste 👍🏼😀
