Screaming into the VOID.

Pharmacist, Engineer for NASA

I was sick this week and now I have an excessive amount of work to do

Also need to have research question ideas and I’ve got #nothing

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Me when I was gonna go to bed early tn but it’s 11:20pm and I’m not finished homework yet

AHHHHHHHH (this is my fault. I could’ve gotten up earlier today and done it then)

Fell on my face on the ice and got a chunk out of my lip and now I can’t practice flute because it’s right where my flute goes. Fuckkkkkk

Also I just started a 28 day practice book :///

Once again coming on here to announce my adoration of Amy Beach

Got really drunk at a party of other music people the other day and apparently I started talking about set theory at one point… (I don’t remember this)

Local man hyperfixates on crocheting the night before thanksgiving and now it’s 2am and FUCK people will be over in less than 12 hours and he’ll be sleep deprived.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Got to the end of a piece like 5 measures early which isn’t great, but hey I held my final note for way longer than it is so a win for breath control I guess??

Real

Guys… I may be just an overly enthusiastic undergrad but I wish I was at AMS/SMT so so so bad you don’t even KNOW. Academia equivalent of I yearn for the mines.

I WILL NOT change how I write so that it seems as if it couldn’t have been written my AI. I like my semi colons, my em-dashes, and my Oxford commas, thank you very much. Also, I refuse to let AI fundamentally alter my syntactical choices.

Also, and I don’t necessarily condone posthumous diagnosis, but she was definitely autistic wow

Trying to write program notes but now I’m just reading the biography of Amy Beach as if it’s a novel (fuck. I love her so much.) and I can feel the hyperfixation pulling me in

I genuinely could start crying right now because Wow. Her <3

Amy Marcy Cheney Beach the woman that you were

Realest thing I’ve ever seen

Eepy little guy takes on moving out of summer housing and creating a final presentation

(Me. The eepy little guy is me)

Tips for writing a long paper in a short amount of time?? I often have trouble finding the words I want to use. ahhhh

This is the kind of music theory we should all be doing.

Anyway I’m a music theorist now.

Sooo meet Hypatia Hildegard

Getting a cat and naming her Hypatia Hildegard because my favorite badass iconic women philosophers

I’m just a little guy (undergrad) with lots of enthusiasm (and an independent research fellowship that I’m doing music theory) and even more fears (what if I’m overrepresenting myself)

When do I start getting to call myself a music theorist instead of a music theory nerd or student or aspiring theorist

Wondering why I’ve had the most impossible time focusing today, only to discover that oh, I forgot my ADHD meds this morning and that’s why

My trans joy recently has just been that I don’t have to think about gender much anymore. I don’t have to imagine chopping my boobs off or having facial hair because both of those things have happened. I can just be at peace with my body. And I can paint my nails and not feel too girly. I just *am*

Trans people deserve to dictate our own lives, futures, and bodies.

Fuck the SCOTUS, fuck transphobia, and leave trans kids alone
