Academia sucks right now (and undoubtedly will for a very long time), but my friends in grad school are such good friends and human beings. <3

#one of my friends (who has two small children) pinged me to be like 'do you need to talk? how are you? do you need help w/ anything?' #just ... out of nowhere #:)))

[ETA 9/27/2023: academia has continued to suck and my friends have continued to be great!]

I’m reading old Skywalker fics on lj and … creepy overlords aside, lj is so screwed up. Yikes.

#all hail dreamwidth and its commitment to continuity! #and NO ADS #yikes #but the fics are still good :)

In POME, there’s a comment to the effect of … the Stewards ruled well, but they didn’t go invading other countries or trying to “reclaim” the old empire or anything like that, just gave up territory to preserve the rest of Gondor.

And I’m just like? good for them???

#and then the kings go empire-building again and it's just... /sigh #i have a ... louder post about this with the exact quote somewhere but i'm too lazy to look it up
