✨About me✨

💜Name: Aster | Pronouns : They/ Them

🌲B.S in Environmental Science.

🍁I have several health issues which can make it hard to and stay productive. Trying to spread love for fellow disabled academics and dismantle hustle culture.

🎋Stuff you’ll see: Environmental activism; Academic aesthetics; Disabled positivity; Cute stationary; Motivation

🌻I am part of the studyblr group Academics Unite, so I will frequently tag them.

🪴Personal tag: #growingnerd

🌸This used to be a studyblr account, but has evolved into a hybrid of studyblr, environmental activism, and a resource compilation for disabled academics.

Getting a weird little hobby is actually so important bc it opens your eyes up to the world. You start crocheting or knitting, and now you see scarves and sweaters differently. You try identifying plants, now you’re seeing opposite and alternate leaf pattern. Bird watching? Every chirp draws attention and interest.

Get into weird little hobbies.

january isn’t for hustling, it’s for resting and planning. laze in bed a little longer in the mornings when you’re able, have a sweet treat when you need a lift, take your vitamins, get a little fresh air when you can, and take some time to think about how you want the rest of the year to look. then poke your head out in february or march with the daffodils.

I wish september to be kind and generous for everyone!

I want you to stop whatever you're doing right now. Stop it. This is important. I want to ask you something. Do you want palestinians to die? I assume, I hope you do not. If so, you must help. You have to help, because words, reblogs, likes, are worth very little to them. You cannot help them without taking actual, material action. Israel wants to kill Palestinans, and they will if they are not stopped, you must fight this.

I have a friend, Nader, who has survived the last few years in Gaza, under Israel's bombs. He was a student once, now he is just a man trying to survive. Will you help him in that? Help him survive, live to become what he wanted to be?

Please stop doing whatever you are doing now and think about me and my family and what we are going through now. Is this fair in your opinion? Please don’t be against humanity.

3/15 days of productivity — 09.06.2025

Due to my busy weekdays at the office, it’s becoming increasingly clear that my time to study will be limited to the weekends. Ran some errands in the morning, so I chose a local pub to study at in the afternoon. They have great secluded corners near the bar where I can focus.

{•} Read Chapter 1, “Mental Outfit of the Early Colonists”, of Edward Eggleston’s The Transit of Civilization: From England to America in the Seventeenth Century for my Early American Seminar session on Wednesday.

{•} Started reading two of the four research articles for Comparative History.

{•} Brainstormed an outline for a Call for Papers due next month.

Image IDs under cut

[IMAGE IDs: A series of photos with words in typewriter font. They read:

1: Know your rights. All people in the USA have these rights regardless of citizenship

2: You have the right to:

-Remain silent -Not sign anything -Walk away if you’re not being detained -Tell others their rights -Record and document -Seek legal help

Clearly state that you are exercising x right.

3: If ICE comes to your door:

-Ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge -If they don’t, don’t let them in -State you are remaining silent -Don’t say a word

4: If ICE comes to your workplace:

-Ask if you are free to leave -You have the right to refuse a search -Do not sign anything -Remain silent

5: If ICE stops you on the street:

-Stay (act) calm -Ask if you are free to go -Remain silent and do not sign anything -You have the right to refuse a search

6: If ICE stops you in your car:

-Don’t open the door or lower the windows all the way -Ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge -They have no authority over traffic and you do not have to show ID

7: If ICE arrests or detains you:

-You have the right to immediately speak to an attorney and remain silent until then -They can’t listen to you talk to your attorney

8: Don’t fall for ICE’s ruses. They will lie and pretend to be local police, even dressing in their uniforms. Be on guard around all law enforcement. Know and exercise your rights.

9: The printable zine.
