Not HP related, but a mere observation/lament: I'm planning and presenting at an academic conference next month and I'm the ONLY female scholar (other than the keynote speaker) presenting.

WHY IS ACADEMIA SUCH A SAUSAGE FEST?!

(ok, why is MY branch of academia so filled with dudes?)

#academia #academic problems #why are there so many men #there aren't enough women #phd stuff #phd problems #want to present at a conference?#send me your abstract #it's about philosophy #and also ethics #and the contemporary context

I think there’s something to be said for the fact that I used to dread presentations when I was younger but now plan to go out of my way to sign myself up for them so I can improve my public speaking. Me from not even two years ago would’ve never. But now ?? The more the merrier let me at them

#anything from research poster presentations to research conferences to medical conferences #i also plan on investigating conferences that center on arab culture through the refugee center i volunteer at #i think my frivolous little girl dream of being someone who actually contributes is coming to fruition more and more each day #obviously i'll be fucking nervous presenting to a bunch of doctors professors politicans etc etc #but it's just necessary! i want to conduct myself w confidence amongst professionals #instead of just being 21 and young and awkward and immediately getting written off as someone not to be taken seriously #not now!! i need to not do this thing where i throw myself into 80 different things at once #studying is my top priority atm #but soon! very soon. hopefully as i progress more thru my orgo research #so many things to look forward to i am going to melt into stardust #p

I went down a bit of a Martian rabbit hole today and came across these pictures of Sebastian Vettel congratulating Mark Webber for winning the 2010 Monaco Grand Prix.

Uhh…let’s just say I went a teeeeeny bit feral. *glances guiltily down at my broken fingernails* Oops…! 😳

Look at these pictures and tell me they don’t look like they were about to kiss each other right there and then. I DARE you!

Apologies if these images are all out of order. That’s just how I ordered them! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You know that time in the comics when the Doctor is so depressed, he shuts off the lights, turns on an interrogation spotlight, locks himself in the console room, and argues with a bunch of judgmental shadow-figures resembling his past incarnations?

And all the TARDIS' lights go out and her interior becomes a maze to keep his companions out of the console room, all from her psychic connection with the Doctor (“moodbleed”)?

And his companions are left wandering in circles for two days as the air goes “stale,” not knowing where he is but thinking the worst, while he hallucinates in a dark room?

...because I'm thinking again about the times this definitely happened when he was with the Ponds.

#when they find him- Rory (one good nurse™) asks neutral questions to check on his emotional state while respecting his space #Amy knows when he's locked himself alone long enough to call River (fortunately Amy talks to her daughter often)#River can calm the tardis and go directly to the Doctor. she sits with him and nods when he rants. she tells him hes loved.#eleventh doctor #11th doctor #doctor who #words by seaweed #(eleventh) doctor is neurodivergent tag #honestly same. I don't want anyone looking at me when im in that way because eyes are very uncomfortable lasers slicing my thoughts #so river doesn't look at him. she looks away and lets him look at her so he knows she's not looking at him. she also does active listening #the shadow-figures in this comic are beyond psychosis coded #emphasis: it isnt presented like some conference of past selves here (which the doctor can't just do anyway- see Power of the Doctor).#and the shadow figures dont have personalities anyway. the way theyre drawn is VERY psychosis coded (as is 11 this whole Si Spurrier run)#this is from Eleventh Doctor Year 2 Issue 3 (set between A Christmas Carol and The Impossible Astronaut) if anyone's wondering #note that he put on his comfort fez I love him #alice obiefune #poor Alice got drove up the wall from wandering in the dark for two days… I think Amy and Rory get to get used to it if they're together #eventually they work out a plan to calm the tardis enough to show them the comfy spot in the bunkbeds to wait and give him space #he joins them in their bunkbed for platonic snuggles. all in the same bunk. Rory doesnt mind. they make sure the doctor knows hes loved <3 #I think- having been percieved as psychotic growing up- Amy would be conscious about making sure the doctor knows she still adores him #I really want this fic to exist

i get to go to my first conference in october OwO its for museums and museum studies! ill be making a poster and (potentially? hopefully!) giving a presentation!!

#its because i know the director of the conference hehehe #shes teaching a grad class that i wanted to take but wasnt able to but i got to meet and talk to her one on one #and i talked about my interest in curation and mentioned some of my curation experience #notably a digital exhibition i made for the martyrdom of saint sebastian and the eroticism of penetration last semester #and she really liked it! she said a lot of student posters at the conference are about the science of museum studies not the art part!#IF I GET TO GIVE A PRESENTATION AT A BIG FANCY REGIONAL CONFERENCE IN MY FIELD OF INTEREST ABOUT VISUAL METAPHORS FOR PENETRATION..........#anyways. its very exciting!

i love spanish conferences. for the london one the fee is £90 (£45 if you're a student) and i have no idea if as a speaker i also have to pay the fee or not. in this one in spain i'm planning to speak at attendance is free and if you want to be a speaker you have to pay a total of 10€ as fee.

#once again. southern europe supremacy #this is what we are talking about when we demand making academia and culture accessible #anyways i have no idea if i'll attend #because if they pick me. it's on may 3rd #i'm still in trento technically by then but. if i have that. idk what i'll do i'll have to consult my parents #cause i was planning on staying until may 8th cause there's a seminar on that day #but i could just leave earlier #the contract is for two months #beyond april i can stay until i want #moreover. the conference is in salamanca #so that's another problem. getting there #i say problem i'm sure there's a train i can hop onto #but it's one more variable to look into #whatever. i'll just apply and worry later #cause the conference is very cool. it's organized by a phd student organization and it is made to present your phd proposals to the public #mostly other professors #to get feedback and stuff #so that's cool i think

One of these days I will write about the nuances of The Black Church and how it acted both as a force for good; providing food, shelter, and community to those in need from slavery onward, and as a force for destruction, actively treating drug addicts and LGBT people as diseases and cutting them off from that sanctuary. I should do it at my most powerful (Now during BHM) but alas.....

#I recently attended a conference #and one of the presentations I went to was about Ballroom Culture and History #the presenter compared it to being in a black church #and of course not all churches are the same even with groups #but when I say 'The Black Church' I usually mean the southern baptist/methodist combination that emphasizes freedom. emotionalism and praise #There's a big focus on being freed from slavery both literally and metaphorically (from sin)#Youve probably seen those videos of praise breaks with ppl screaming crying frowing up and falling on the floor #That type of church #It seems silly as an outsider but it's all about connection #In Ballrooms they danced. they performed. they loved #In church they danced. they performed. they loved.#After the church comes together and feeds everyone #If someone is sick the whole church nurses them and prays #Ballroom was a place for queer folk to gather. Black people gathered at church. It wasn't entirely safe but it was something #But then things happened #Black churches kick out addicts and sex workers and queer folk #And during the AIDS epidemic #and war on drugs started #Cis gay men turned on the trans women that built those Ballrooms #They decided they didn't want their spaces pulled down #They decided this was the only way to rise. By stepping on others #And as the communities grew they changed #Of course these community churches and Houses still exist #People are still there supporting each other #But Madonna 'invented' vogue and Ru Paul partakes in fracking #But Creflo Dollar owns a private jet #This was probably a rambling mess but I hope you get it #I also lost my ipad on the other side of the country so I'm a bit too upset to organize my thoughts better rn #ex christian #religious trauma

MEETING IS DONE. He said I am definitely moving forward. I have to have a meeting with the other grad students in the center, and they have right of refusal, so if they don't like me I will not be admitted to the program. That will probably be next week.

#he is concerned that I know nothing about fish. which is fair #he said if I get in he would want me to come before school started so I could start learning fish identification #I would be a TA. I would have to learn how to drive a trailer and a boat #I would get a TON of field work experience. The field work would mean missing weeks of class at a time #which I am worried about but I feel like I could keep up? maybe? hopefully #I would have to present at conferences which is terrifying #he said they expect all their students to get A's. which I had a 4.0 in undergrad but that was 4 years ago so I hope I didn't forget #how to do school #and he said they push the students really hard #he said they want you do get jobs and that there are students now who have gotten job offers and won't be finishing #their degrees because the offer is exactly what they want so they are leaving early #which sounds amazing #I am worried I won't be rigorous enough or won't be able to keep up #and I am worried that the other grad students won't like me #so I'm trying not to get my hopes up.... but I am excited

Guess who is going to their first scientific conference this summer

#baby's first conference #frankly embarrassing it took so long but in my half-hearted defence most of my PhD was during Peak Covid #also sue me but I didn't really want to #now that I have coherent data to present it finally seems like it could conceivably be fun #I guess I'm just a late bloomer conference-wise #lab life

i have so much potential travel this year 👀

#just learned today that there's two events my team needs to present (preferably in person) at in april and may #add that to me having a potential conference trip in april already #and a personal trip in may #and then perhaps a conference trip in october #and several not-formed yet but in the works plans to travel to a few other states for work #i also wanna go to another conference (forgot when 💀) but i bet i wont get to go to that one bc of budget reasons #i mostly want to go so that i could take a personal day or two and explore the area it's in. which is not something i can tell a manager LO

i am once again taking over a task someone else was supposed to finish weeks ago

#well. when my CV has all the conference presentations on it and yours doesn’t. then you will realize #i’m literally constantly like hey guys i’ve done a lot of the presentations already #does anyone else want to take the opportunity? bueller?#d

attending a conference, having your own hotel room, meeting new people, academic banter over a beer or two or three: pure bliss

having to present at a conference: pain, suffering, unbearable embarrassment etc.

#for once i want to present on a first day and then just vibe and party for the rest of a conference

also i have probably said this before but i think faculty need to stop telling students that they shouldn’t go to graduate school. yes students should have the information they need to make the decision (including info about the low stipends, the not-so-great culture of many graduate programs, the vanishingly small number of stable academic jobs, etc). but i’ve always felt like some students are going to hear that and think “well, it won’t be me, i’ll work hard and beat the odds!” (typically your well-off students who have a lot of social & navigational capital and an assured sense of belonging in higher ed spaces), while other students are going to hear it and think “i wonder if they’re just saying that because they think i’m not cut out for graduate study.”

#not everyone needs to do a phd!#but i think anyone who loves learning enough to think 'i wonder if i'd like to keep doing this in a more rigorous way'#deserves to have that desire/interest taken seriously #and should get the chance to learn more about what scholars do and what graduate study entails #i have quite a few students who have gone through that process of exploring grad schools and presenting at conferences #and talking to faculty and writing longer research papers and so on #and have decided 'nah this just isn't something i can see myself doing long-term'#but then i have quite a few who have gone through all of that and been like wow #i know what graduate study entails now #and i know that it's something i want to pursue #also grad students need to stop doing the same thing lol #in general i think the cult of misery around grad school is one of those self-perpetuating things #like YES the systems are broken and YES the advising often blows but ALSO are grad students sometimes in love with #the idea of their own misery? MAYBE #MAYBE A LITTLE BIT #i had horrible advising and was often actively unhappy about that in grad school #but i also had an amazing time and would do it again in a heartbeat #although based on my reading i understand now that is because of a sense of SOCIAL BELONGING #which my school did nothing to cultivate but my cohort actively did on our own #i also think teaching gave me a strong sense of purpose and an identity outside of being a Helpless Student at the mercy of my advisors

fucking around: sending in long-shot applications (with almost an entire GPA point below their minimum) to both of the relevant honors and pre-graduate programs I know would look good on me in the future, pleading my case to be allowed in anyway

finding out: actually getting accepted into both of them and adding 7 honors level credit hours to the term that starts in less than three weeks, and a ton of work through the summer/rest of my time in undergrad

#😬 my body is gonna haaaaaatttttteeeeeeee me #so bad #and neither program is accommodating whatsoever #like i cant say no though to the opportunity can i? no i cant. i want to go to grad school. i gotta start doing the work now #by the time i finish undergrad ill have at least two published research works that i will be presenting at academic conferences though #its like.... science fair all over again but better and i get to do queer shit with it
