not reading wips feels anti-fanfiction to me. and i don't mean that in a "so you're a bad person if you don't read them" kinda way. do what you want. but i also feel, that you are completely missing the point. with fanfiction you're supposed to come along for the ride. the epic highs and lows of highschool football. the comment sections. the conversations. the theories. the "sorry i didn't update last week i was abducted by aliens and then my cat got stuck in a tree." LIKE. if you just want a story that's fully finished and polished go to a bookstore. fanfic is an EXPERIENCE. and ALSO. participating in the process is part of the way you make fanfic writing worth while. it's part of how you thank authors. like why would anyone write fanfiction if no one was going to interact with them until it was done? it again feels like a way that fanfiction is being eaten by consumer culture. you're waiting for your product. but this is supposed to be a club. you don't turn up to drama club like "where's my play bitch?" NO ma'am. we're supposed to paint these cardboard trees together. ok. i may have lost control of this metaphor. BUT YOU GET IT.

· humanity is worth loving, humans are worth saving
· “book lovers” don’t love anything about books and it shows (or, defending classic novels) (or, call me anti-booktok anti-booktwt)
· ok, fine, my social justice politics feel a bit like religion sometimes and that’s ok
· i trained a neural net on 10,000 irony-poisoned tweets and it just gave me cringe?

· there’s no grand unified theory of morality that can tell me why i should forgive my mother. but i do
· please tell me if you have a definitive answer on what makes someone a bad person

day 15: 102exam
FINISHED THE FUCKING LECTURE 26 VIDEO
Sent a super detailed email waiting for a reply about some questions
Did a few practice problems
Made a few flashcards
oh also day one of dead week completed
1/3 through lecture 25
Went to office hours
Office hours was really good for doing parts of practice problems as well as answering some bonding questions. Honestly bonding questions weren't super clear still but it's hard for like wave functions to make a lot of sense. Main take away is we'll only be looking at one elextron systems which is good. Some motivation to examine roto inversions. And some elastic tensor work and also philosophy of approaching math as like a language of rigorous logic as opposed to correct steps to be taken.
Office hours was really good really productive.
get in losers we're killing caesar.
i’m gay for.
