Not So Gentle Reminder That Academia Belongs To The Queer, The Weary, The Women, The People Of Color,

About to introduce The Dead Poets Society to my best friend, will update on his thoughts.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

anne carson, euripides / dead poets society, 1989 / a text between me and a loved one / you remind me of you, eireann corrigan / columbus, 2017 / puppet, tyler the creator / rooftops of tehran, mahbod seraji / you can't be depressed, neil hilborn / russian doll, 2019 / miss stevens, 2016.

I saw something that was like “we put our lives on pause, but getting vaccinated can help us be able to hit play again” and it just bothered me because I’m not just starting again where I left off. I graduated from college in spring of 2020. I’m never going back to living there and regularly seeing my college friends. I’m never getting my graduation ceremony. I’m not getting my last months of college back. They’re gone!

So anyway this post is dedicated to anybody who went through any transitional period during the pandemic. Whether you graduated, lost somebody, moved, or anything else where you will never truly be able to get the last months/year of [whatever] back. It’s so easy to feel like you should be over it by now and just be grateful whenever you can eat in a restaurant and go into stores again but you lost more than that.

I’m just tired of seeing so many things about “going back to normal” when a lot of us don’t have the same “normal” to go back to.

straight friend groups be like: *the jock* *the cheerleader* *the nerd* *kyle*

gay friend groups be like: *the depressed theatre kid* *the new kid with severe anxiety* *the loud bisexual one who's actually really insecure* *ginger number 1 who's really misunderstood but really loves his friends* *ginger number 2 who likes latin and lost his will to live somewhere in middle school* *tall mother hen who everyone underestimates but is actually incredibly smart* *knox*

yeah star sign whatever but are you a “what else can i possibly throw in to finally hit this word count”-person or a “the word count actively limits my freedom of expression and only exists because whoever set it fears my unlimited power”-person?
