Jasnah Kholin as that one Joan of Arc portrait

But not because all of that religious stuff (it would be the contrary for Jasnah) but because of that whole crazy misunderstood scary woman stuff

So grateful for my high school Spanish teachers and my parents for teaching me enough Spanish to understand posts in Spanish online. Now I can read Go For It, Nakamura! comics and fanfics that are in Spanish and increase my fandom interactions/consumption. Awesome

the make up you do is very beautiful and impressive to me. also thank you for having this discussion about academia and continuing it despite the fact that people are being unkind to you about it. i am autistic (among other things) currently in a (academically oriented side of things) master’s program it was very difficult for me to get into and am becoming increasingly open to the possibility that i am perhaps “too autistic” for academia as it exists now where i am (and i am quite grateful to you because i am starting to reframe it as something that is perhaps wrong with the way it is set up rather than with me as an individual), a thing i have previously felt very guilty for experiencing because lots of people say that So Many People In Academia Are Autistic and it is this sort of Prime Space for autistics. you know. “everyone in academia is very passionate about a subject and socially awkward :) you’d fit right in :)”. and i’m repeatedly just bashing my head against the many ways it is unfriendly to my autism and my utter lack of social skills and inability to implicitly understand things and my general inflexibility with regard to everything and such. i think your posting has allowed me to phrase and think about these feelings and also frame them in a much more comprehensible and useful way than the typical overwhelming self-hatred that previously arose in me when i thought about it, and i am very grateful for that. but really i know nothing about makeup and i really like how yours looks

thank you so much! tbh the overwhelming response to my talking about all of this has been positive. very few people have been unpleasant about it :)

I'm glad that some of these post have helped you think about your experience in some different ways and maybe given you more conceptual tools with which to navigate it... I totally feel you re: the frustration when people act like academia is some sort of Autism Paradise, lmaaaao. NOOO IT ISN'T 😭

Anyway I hope that regardless what decision you end up making about your program you have a rich and fulfilling life!!
