Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.
Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.

This might be unpopular but I’m not going to use simpler vocabulary in my writing if it’s out of character for the narrator. If my POV character is a botanist, he’s going to call a plant by its name. If you don’t know what it is you can either Google it or move on just knowing it’s a plant of some sort.
I don’t like this trend of readers being angry that not everything is 100% understandable for them. I want my characters to be believable as people and sometimes people use words people outside of their field will not understand. That’s not a bad thing.
You don’t have to understand every word to get the gist of what’s happening. I’m not going to slow down an action scene to describe every weapon because someone might not know them by name. They can just assume it’s a weapon because that makes sense in the context of the scene.
Constantly torn between thinking everyone thinks I’m annoying and they don’t like me and it’s my job to annoy everyone with my personality.
if years of your life have been lost to abuse or mental illness, you're gonna be okay. it can be so easy to feel that you're so far behind you'll never catch up with others, especially if that time was your childhood. but there's no catching up to do. you can go at your own pace, and that's okay. you may never have the life you thought you would, but that's okay. there are new dreams to chase and a whole new life to build. there is so much for you out there other than your past and your present, i promise. you're going to be okay.

I hate that I've been born in a time where we know so much about space but it's too early to be able to explore it first hand.
being a woman in stem means utilizing the color pink as much as possible to fuck with the excessive amount of men around you
Science is cool but gay and unethical science is where it's at
