11. June, 2016 // Bureaucratic shenanigans. Applying to the Institutional Review Board at my university so I can start collecting data for my senior experiment. Though it’s only minimal review it is still a beast of a process. Topics of interest: social anxiety and procrastination
reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)
This is how it is: Trump gets sworn in January 20th. We’ve still got 2.5-ish months under the Obama Administration. Between now and then there’s the chance to make a media circus out of Donald Trump’s upcoming sexual assault trial, creating more friction between him and his party, giving us at least a little breathing room in congress. He’s appointing three new judges this term, so checks and balances (which weren’t really adjusted well for a two-party system) won’t be in good working condition for the Democrats (which counts third-party and non-voters and basically any minority because welcome to reality).
So first thing: fight for that media circus. House reps will do ANYTHING for reelection. Friction within the party will force them to pick sides.
Second thing: VOTE IN 2018. Mid-term elections are a thing. ALL 435 SEATS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE CONTESTED. Go out and VOTE. We can win back the house. That’s one victory we sorely need. 33/100 SEATS OF SENATE WILL BE CONTESTED. We can win that back, too. 38 GOVERNORSHIPS WILL BE CONTESTED. If your county’s red, time to turn that around. VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6TH, 2018.
The clock is ticking guys.
just think about how grateful your future self will be if you keep going. how glad you will be for having worked so hard. it will all be worth it.
june 3 | i made a thing today!
Drink water
Feed the monster in your closet
Sacrifice a small animal to a star of your choice
Bees
Enter the dream realm
Stretch your muscles
Consume at least 7 souls a day
I hope at this time next year you’ll listen to your favourite music, hold a cup of hot cocoa in your hands, and smile because everything is okay.
