If you and half your class all drink a coffee with at list four shots in it and the professor STILL puts you to sleep, that professor is a) not good at lecturing and b) should probably not be teaching geology to underclassmen.
I'm getting personal here, but I just want to get this out. But first, mom, I know you're on here, I do not want to talk about this post. At all. If you want, you can call some therapists up for me.
I've always been pretty fortunate growing up, I've got a mom and a dad who love me as well as a step mom and step dad who are both great and a lot of siblings that, now that I'm older, I get along with.
My first thing is that it's frustrating to me that I struggle with depression and anxiety as much as I do. I wanted to do better in school, get better grades, have lots of friends, but until i was mostly through college, i had no idea how much i was struggling until my grandma started through her third round of cancer, and i just sort of broke. I failed two classes lost my best friend of many years, lost said grandma, and almost lost one of my older brothers.
It was easier when I transferred to a school closer (and cheaper) to home, but I still struggled and had no idea. I had no motivation, I couldnt even bring myself to watch movies. I slept all the time but was always half asleep. I dissociated (only rarely). I had panic attacks (usually at night).
I dont really know what the last straw was for me, but I finally went to to my doctor begging him,"help me".
I've been on antidepressants since. My dad... oh boy my dad. He was furious when my mom let two things slip to him. The first was that I am asexual. He is sure it's just something I read on the internet and will grow out of. Weve never spoken about this, and I'm okay with that.
The other thing is the antidepressants. He seems certain that I'm going to fry my brain on them and I'm gonna go suicidal. He doesnt seem to understand that I wasnt suicidal to begin with. He doesnt understand how much they help me be me.
I dont understand him. He is toxic toward my poor step mom, like almost emotionally abusive. He doesnt connect with my younger siblings like he did his two older kids (but at least he didnt basically beat them like he did my older brother before my mom stepped in). He changed a lot, some good, like he doesnt hardly drink alcohol, but lately hes been making more and more rash decisions. He bought a $12,000 boat when he knows they are tight on money. He keeps buying things for said boat. He buys more parts to make more guns.
The night before thanksgiving he got into an awful fight with my stepmom. And by fight I mean he said some awful things like "dusky doesnt visit because of you" and my personal favorite: "you dont deserve a mothers ring"
Guess what shes getting for christmas.
She practically raised those kids herself. Sure my dad makes all the money, but kids dont care about that kind of stuff. I'm certain that if they got divorced those kids would choose to live with her in a heartbeat.
To top all that off, I need to job/school hunt.
I am terrified of the inevitable rejection. I've got only like two, maybe three (BIG emphasis on maybe) profs I can ask for a letter of recommendation from, and I know a lot of my work was meh, average.
And I'm just sad, lost and need a therapist.

i will cherish this. thank you.
So proud of my mother for doing her own research after I sent her that meme. A sign she hung in her car window.
Stay woke
Is this true?
Not only is it true, it gets worse. The Susan G Komen For The Cure Foundation has actually successfully sued “competing” charities, because (paraphrasing) their “message or branding was infringing.”
You read that correctly: they took money that people had donated to cure cancer, and hired attorneys with it, to sue ANOTHER group of people trying to find a cure for cancer, who, in turn, had to us their donated money to hire their own legal counsel to defend themselves.
Yeah signal boost because not enough people know about this and seriously FUCK SUSAN G. KOMEN THEY ARE THE ACTUAL WORST

Reblog every time I see it. Roughly once a month.
Also please never forget the pink fracking drill bit
that’s right fracking you know, a process using chemicals known to cause cancer that leech into the water supply

It’s that time of year again, please remember Komen is the actual worst
Komen For The Cure is pretty much awful.
My mother died in 1996 from breast cancer. Most cancer charities are scams, in that people throw fancy parties and get rich off them and very little money goes into research or support for patients. Here are some vetted cancer charities that get good scores on Charity Navigator and pay medical expenses or fund research:
Breast Cancer Research Foundation
Cancer Research Institute
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
63 four star rated cancer charities on charity navigator

Reblogging from myself because it’s October now
Last couple of pics from the first field site.... basically just pillow basalts and hyaloclastite here. And the largest potato bug I've ever seen like, he was at least and inch long!
More field area 1 (sorry it took me so long to post this) some fumeroles, a geyser/geyser field, sulfur, olivine, and some more scoria!
Its 3 am.... the entire household is up because of the house shaking from the storm and
Confession: I have a little bit of a fear of thunderstorms
Really great motivation for my anxiety to pick up a rock hammer and hit me over the head with it
This will just have to be a couple of posts for the first field area.... mapping basalt!
Day 1 ish was pretty cool, saw some graben, some wind features, a lava tube, and crater lake! So heres some pics, some with scale, some without!
So, happy pride week from Iceland! I got a small break from writing my report/map and found this beautiful art piece. I'll post some actual geology pics when I have more stable internet.
Heckin tephra at the national museum! (Sorry.... that's Hekla)
World travelling
Iceland, here I come.... watch out volcanoes!
I now understand geologists. I spent a day sorting and organizing rocks, and now I have the insatiable urge to kidnap someone and EXPLAIN rocks to them
