sts but we try to get a degree

biochemistry but like... biochemi-sts-try anti endo blog - endos DNI

[biochemiststry]

who tf are we?

we are a system that is doing our best to get a degree in biochemistry

currently in our 3rd year out of 4 for an integrated masters in the UK and genuinely just trying to get through the year

we dont have a dni bc people dont listen to them and we will just block you if we dont want to interact with you :) unless you are endo pro endo or endo neutral, then please leave us alone. we wont interact with you so please do not interact with us

we also have a part time job as a student career coach so know a thing or two about careers stuff and are willing to help with things if people need it

mainly going to be the host sadie posting but yknow system be system and we are one person so like...

we tag "sts ~ alter" so a) we know who posted, and b) we can find each alters posts, in case you were interested

@spacetransportationsystem is our main and @sadiests is the hosts random dump blog

I've been seeing a lot of posts lately that tell dropouts "you can always go back!"

And that's not bad! It's true for a lot of people! You CAN go back later! You can apply to university, you can get your GED, you can pursue whatever level of education you want. It's not bad to share that message. If you dropped out and want to go back eventually, there is zero timeline. You can go back at any age, with any life experience. You do not have to graduate by a specific age.

But as someone who dropped out of college over a decade ago, sometimes "you can always go back!" starts to feel a little like an empty platitude. Sometimes it starts to feel grating instead of hopeful. Even when it might technically be true, sometimes it still feels like a hollow sentiment.

I just want to say, to anyone else out there who feels that way, who dropped out and CAN'T go back, potentially EVER, whether it's due to poverty or disability or any other reason:

It's okay to drop out and never go back. It might feel shitty, and you may even feel grief over it. That's real, and painful, and allowed. But you are not lesser. Even if you never go back, you are not a failure or a loser. Academics do not define your worth. You are not stupid. And it is almost certain that the system actually failed YOU.

With love,

A fellow burnout

science has always been political. what gets studied. what doesnt. who gets to do the studying. on and on and on.

scientists on this post: yuuuup 👍

people who aren't scientists: um actually ☝️

all my homies hate oganessum

[biochemiststry]

nooooooo we love oganesson

it’s the 2nd element ever to be named after a living person! yuri oganessian who is a pioneer in super heavy element research! and i say is because he’s still alive!

every other element named after someone was named after that person died with the exception of seaborgium, named after glenn seaborg who’s team discovered so many elements that berkelium and californium were named after UC berkeley where they were based. they also discovered plutonium which is a whole other thing and yes they were drafted into the manhattan project but also after the war he was a heavy anti nuke campaigner so a mix of good and bad yknow

also it makes it a complete period… why would you want a gap at the bottom…

all my homies love oganesson

i’ve been seeing way to much transandrophobia lately

so i want to try something

reblog if your blog is a safe space for transmascs

please. we need the support.

Project 2025 does call for “reduction and management of population levels.”

I doubt this is a coincidence.

Kids will die. Parents will suffer. Nothing good can come from this.

DID/OSDD/overall CDD ask game bc i love answering questions and am in a silly mood :))

This is like, half serious stuff, half silly goofy stuff so if ur using this ofc answer questions at ur own discretion. Also the use of the word "you" can be the collective or individual "you"! Answer how you want

👁 Was discovery a sudden or gradual thing for you? (eg. did it feel like everything came to light all at once, or did you slowly but surely notice and piece things together?)

🌕 Did you have any awareness of other alters before discovery? if so, how did you view them (e.g. "moods", ocs, imaginary friends, etc.)

🫧 Who fronts the most in day-to-day life? Do you have a host, a "main cast", everyone switching/fronting equally, etc.?

🍎 Does anyone have any very passionate/specific food/drink preferences (love or hate)?

☂️ Are you more overt or covert? Are there any alters who break this norm (are exceptionally good/bad at masking)?

🎭 What term(s) do you use for alters? (eg. alters, parts, identities, people, headmates, etc.) Feel free to share reasoning!

🎊 Is there a prominent gender among alters? How do you present your gender(s)?

🍃 How frequently do you switch? Is this frequency comfortable/manageable for you?

☁️ Do you have day-to-day amnesia? If yes, what does that feel/look like for you?

🌈 Any happy/"success" stories from opening up to people/reaching out for support you'd like to share?

🎲 Do you have any collective hobbies (activities everybody/almost everybody enjoys doing)?

💥 Do you have any physical symptoms related to dissociation/switching/etc.?

☄️ What symptom/aspect of the disorder is hardest to deal with in day-to-day life/something that's more irritating/difficult/complicated for you?

🌼 What symptom/aspect of this disorder actually doesn't bother you/is actually helpful/you're grateful for?

💡 What's one thing that you do to help ground yourself?

⭐️ Are you usually aware of who's fronting? How do you figure out who's fronting when you don't know/can't tell?

🦉 Is there anything you wish you could make everybody instantly know/understand about CDD's?

👓 Are there any characters you feel really "seen" by (whether they're meant to be a representation of a CDD or not)?

🎸 Are there any songs/albums/artists that you feel "seen" by (whether they're meant to be a representation of a CDD or not)?

note: this ask game is made and intended for those w DID/OSDD/p-DID/etc. please only use this if this applies to you :))

08-01-2026 | Productivity

2026 will hopefully be a new start for us in terms of productivity but to start the year off we have as of today read 5 books

overall they have been good, but i want to note the most recent was not as pleasurable as i had hoped it would be

see it transpires that being a system and having alters from said literature does in fact mean they will react whilst reading, and react in ways that aren't ideal

physical shaking, nausea, and now an overwhelming sense of something that i can't quite place

this would be the existence we have, i suppose

[godsofwoes]

Year-end wrap up challenge — [Day 2/30]

👟 steps: 1914 / 3000 ❌ 📚 productivity: 6h / 1h ✅ 📝 prompt of the day: ✅

Today i got to my desk two hours earlier than yesterday which is a win lol. I also had a sore throat which was frustrating. But eh.

I finished one chapter in data mining! I was able to focus because I taped @nanthegirl to my wall and she was watching over me XDDD. I also read some more of my book, I'm loving it a lot!! The characters are perfectly flawed and very lovable, and the stakes are satisfyingly high. Love a book like that :))

Prompt of the day: my life improved this past year thanks to...

Its hard for me to recollect the "improvements" that I've had this year, but off the top of my head I'm having more will power to face the challenges in my life. And obviously, that's all thanks to my lovely friends who never fail to support me and be there for me when I need it. I also want to thank myself as well, because I made the conscious decision to make my life better. And I'm proud of myself for it.

end of the year wrap up challenge - day 2

fun day today. had class, went to the lab, hung out with a lot of people. Overall it was nice, tho im kinda going insane over one specific software that's not downloading to the new computer, and i don't understand since it worked fine on the other one 😭

prompt of the day: my life improved last year thanks to:

a lot of things honestly. finally opening up to my sister about some of my struggles and letting her help me, prioritizing doing things that i love and working hard not to feel guilty for not being productive all the time. also my friends ofc. oh and started to put myself out there and not fear getting rejected - that's how i got my research fellowship! (another great improvement in my life for sure 💸lmao)

🎶: Her Song, Tasha Shaik

[1tspcinnamon]

at this point in this degree what i want is to be handed a list of topics every week and be left to read about them from whatever resources i prefer and maybe at the end of the week there's one (1) discussion-based class going over the important points and that's it
