I started reading The Shape of Sex by Leah DeVun a few days ago and I’m really enjoying it so far! It might seem like a small detail but they always treat the medieval people they’re writing about with respect as complex human beings who lived real lives, and some medieval historians don’t always manage that in their writings. Would definitely recommend this book if it sounds at all interesting to you and I’m very excited to read more of it!

writing an essay on what captain america: civil war (2016) says about US foreign policy and do I have under a week to write it? yes. am i going to finish it through sheer determination? yes.

I’ve really enjoyed most of this book so far and the authors made some really great arguments about medieval sexuality and how we talk about it as modern historians, but it’s frustratingly common for medieval queer historians to act like bisexuality and genderqueerness just straight up don’t exist as part of the human experience and this book falls into that pattern too ://

I started a bullet journal yesterday :-)

Recently I’ve been really struggling with remembering daily tasks, important deadlines, upcoming dates, etc. and I’ve also been finding it hard to keep track of which day of the month it is. My executive function has also been garbage and I’ve been finding it really hard to work on any academic projects. I’d heard that bullet journals can be more useful for people with adhd than regular planners since you can customise them depending on your daily and monthly needs and I’ve had a really positive experience so far! I’ve got daily task lists, post it’s for upcoming important dates and a list of The Big Jobs I Keep Putting Off Doing ^^’

It hasn’t fixed my brain or anything but it has really helped with the sense of impending doom I feel when I know I’ve forgotten something, because if I’m using it right anything I could have possibly forgotten should be in the journal! It’s also really helped with my executive dysfunction and I’ve definitely been finding it easier to start tasks because I know I get the reward of crossing it off my list when it’s done :3 I’m gonna try this system for a month and see how it goes, but hopefully this will be a positive adhd tool for me!
