one of those questions that on 2009-2015 twitter probably would have rustled up an expert: what is the history of referring to certain materials as "humble"? reading a book on commodities where the ~humility~ of various minerals gets invoked a lot, curious when/how that language became commonplace. Is it a Bible thing? Feels like maybe a Bible thing

On the one hand I agree with the observation from Rebecca Solnit that despair is a valid feeling but it's not an analysis

On the other, I *feel* pretty strongly like I want to die sometimes and sometimes the feeling is too intense to really *analyze* it

@yehoak obscene!!

@ken oh my goodness I'm so sorry Ken that's a lot of stress to have on top of heartbreak, fuck

School starts August 29 this is utterly deranged

The entire point of doing a PhD was to get some stability and in the absence of that this all starts to feel pretty pointless!! Maybe it is time to walk into the sea
