Last Notes npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1k24…26zw no. That's "the one where Jesus dies". npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1k24…26zw 1. ✓ 2. it's Josef! 3. ✓ and the tree-climbing is the best part of it, apparently 4. nope 5. ✓ 6. astonishingly, no npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules Because I thought of it yesterday: some biblical stories given "Friends"-style episode titles, according to K2: 1. The one with the stone 2. The one with the hole 3. The one with the tree 4. The one with the ship 5. The one with the star 6. The one where someone is hurt Recognize all of them? 🙃 npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules I'm running in the forest, two older people walk their dogs and talk to each other. Older person 1: these days, there's really no difference between the sexes visible anymore. Just look at the Olympics. Horrible. Older person 2: I mean, just look at THAT. *points to me* What's that supposed to be?! Look. It's kind of an agender win, but it's RUDE. (And it's another reason why this shitty "debate" about sportswomen's gender is harmful.) #AgenderFeels npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1k24…26zw true. I think I'm also overthinking it 🙃 no harm in doing something conventional if it's right for the characters. npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules Meh. Now I have finally written an ending to this story, and I don't like it 😬 Or maybe I do like it, but think it's too... conventional? But I have no idea for a different one! Maybe just leave it, it has an opening for a sequel anyway? Ach. The struggle is real. #AmWriting #MirrorUniversity npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules Had a weird dream tonight: one of the kids* became the Orthodox patriarch of Berlin** (as a grown-up, obviously). The whole family went to their church, which was located right next to the zoo in the Eastern part and had a giant picture of a bear next to more conventionally-looking icons. No idea what my subconscious wants with that 😅 *assigned female a birth **I have no idea whether there even is such a thing npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1f6s…y8ra Oui, c'est belle! npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules Hmpf. Now that I'm kind of finished with that story, I need a title. And as it got far away from the original idea, I need a new title. I am bad enough with titles for scientific papers (really, it's pathetic), this is even worse. Ah well. Something will come to me. #AmWriting #ShittyAngels npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules All tangled up, still growing #SilentSunday https://s3-fra.23m.com/rheinhessen.social/media_attachments/files/112/661/744/088/723/146/original/adaff8a73d193adc.jpg npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules This story, eh. Started as funny fanfic about a mediocre angel meddling in human's affairs, got very personal, now acquired an interesting secondary character. Weird how writing works. #AmWriting #ShittyAngels npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules Breakfast. K1 eats a cherry. K1: oh look, now I see the little chamber where the stem comes out. Thank you cherry for showing me this! And I'm just - I think that's a really good way of thinking about science. We're not uncovering or fighting over nature's secrets, we're thankful for them being shown to us or fitting our models. It's a good level of humility. npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1r4h…u0jf ja, aber das ist dann wieder "männlich" und dann nicht "trans männlich" (was immer das ist), oder? npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules Random kid on playground (to me): is that a boy or girl? He looks like... I can't tell Me: why don't you just ask? RK: are you a boy or a girl? K2: a girl! RK: really? You look more like a boy. Now, tell me again, are you a boy or a girl? K2: a girl! RK: But... (to me) is that true? You called him [name]? Me: if someone says they're a girl, they're a girl, no other way of telling RK: 🤯 RK's parent: 🤯 Me: 😎 #GenderNeutralParenting #GeschlechtsoffeneErziehung npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1r4h…u0jf where's that poll...? npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1r4h…u0jf there's also a lot of (fat-) shaming associated with type 2 diabetes. I had a friend in school with type 1 (!), and even their needs were questioned. It happens to all chronically ill people 😡 npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1kxp…lt8h I Iearned it pretty early on, which I think is nice because you can do "because" before you have the subjunctive or ablative absolute! But I never encountered it in any translation texts afterwards. npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules Greetings from our local parish cat. #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday https://s3-fra.23m.com/rheinhessen.social/media_attachments/files/112/304/821/798/463/841/original/e7694246efe37fd5.jpg npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1f6s…y8ra nee, aber er ist halt toll. npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1r4h…u0jf yeah, it's horrible. Being bombarded with "you're a woman!!!" like that made me realize that no, I'm really not! npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1y6f…wlhy wow, das sieht echt interessant aus! npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1r4h…u0jf certainly you are thinking of us, your dear followers, and how to keep us entertained! You know how we love to hear about Skye's adventures in installation 😝 npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1r4h…u0jf someone has been learning about quantum mechanics, eh npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1r4h…u0jf ich hab da den Vorteil einfach nie verstanden. npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1r4h…u0jf cgs is bad, erg is worse! npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1r4h…u0jf Special Relativity assumes a flat space-time, so yes, it can only work locally in a closed universe. npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules There are saints who did and said horrible things. St Jerome and St Ambrose wrote misogynistic shit about how celibacy is morally superior, leading to much misery for both priests and women. St Cyril was partly responsible for the murder of the mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher Hypatia. St Junípero Serra forcibly converted native Americans as well as making them live in missions where disease was rampant, enslaving them. And so on. (1/n) #MaybeASermon npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules The Latin ridere = to laugh subridere = to smile kind of implies superridere = to ROTFLMAO doesn't it? npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1kxp…lt8h "Pro Caelio" is the one where he slanders Clodia, right? Oh yes, that's going to be interesting. But also, oh the misogyny. npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1r4h…u0jf yeah, the struggle of us folks with A LOT of VERY THICK hair is real! npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1rx7…acx3 "Iam ver egelidos refert tepores, iam caeli furor aequinoctialis iucundis Zephyri silescit aureis..." 🌻 npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1kxp…lt8h that's a good point: something'll get skipped anyway in most case; the reasons aren't actually any of the instructor's business. (Though of course it's good as feedback if students want to share then!) npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1kxp…lt8h that's good planning! What do you do if someone tells you they can't do a reading because of the content? npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1kxp…lt8h yeah, I think it'll depend a lot on whether they'll go "oh, New Testament, that's going to be wholesome 🥰" or "oh, Antiquity, that's going to have weird and awful stuff". And the shock for the first group is going to be there for sure. npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1kxp…lt8h I think 4), together with the content notes, might actually make it easier for the readers? I mean, like, if they really can't deal with the topic /at all/, they'll note the CNs and don't take the class if possible. But if it's just an uncomfortable or hard topic? Then applying an academic lens might help dealing with it, because they can get all analytical and distance themselves from their feelings about it. npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1kxp…lt8h but in a personal statement you have to convince them that you're 1) competent and qualified, 2) a cool person, and 3) a good fit for the department. It never feels like talking about me. In a project description I can just talk about my cool idea... (Weird how imposter syndrome can kick in in different places, huh.) npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1uw8…88kr Not very sensationalist, gives sources, covers many dangers of satellite light pollution while not harping too much on the "danger to the planet because asteroid collisions won't be not early enough" part. The news outlet is focused on sustainability and climate change, it's a respectable one. npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1f6s…y8ra eins aus der Heimat 🥰 npub135yxwm5v0a5h4h5accp9quq38x47gmt34tva6pyqqjqedd4y8w9qqpflkg Jules @npub1r4h…u0jf it was SO disappointing trying to get into these circles. There I was, all "hey, you're my people, I'm so glad I found you" and the reaction was mostly "what are YOU doing here?" Trying to fit in hurt, not belonging also hurt. I'm happy I've since found other nerdy and geeky people!
