10:22 : apparenly i messed up :(. my post that i scheduled didnt frickin save but wtv lol. yesterday was pretty cool bc my mom came with me to band (being deadnamed wasnt fun but whatever) and i was laughing at her hahahah. i also had my sax lesson yesterday and my teacher basically layed into me real hard :( about how i need to actually apply myself and practice like (as he said) "as long as it takes for you to get it" (3 hours lol). i feel like he actually knocked some sense into me.

2:38 : so to finish my rant from earlier, since dr wits knocked some sense into me, i went home relazed for like an hour and then i practiced my saxophone even more (1 more hour). it was an okay night. i ate some good food and just felt generally content. i have chosen a solo (for solo & ensemble) and i really really like it. im excited to learn it. also i am in chemistry and i hate it. im dying. this teacher doesnt even teach us bruh, but im so smart i figure it all out suuuuupppeerrrr fast :) . i have so much stuff to do but i can get it done, imma use my planner and do everything that i need to do :) .

Weirdpunk

A punk movement based around being weird and encouraging being weird (in a way that doesn't harm anyone).

I'm autistic, have PPD, and OCD. These carry what neurotypicals deem, "weird traits." They make me act "weird", talk "weird", dress 'weird', etc etc.

I have identities that may be deemed "weird." I go semi-scribal and semi-verbal occasionally that may be deemed "weird."

I have "weird" disorders, disabilities, and identities alongside many factors. I've been called weird multiple times. However, now? I take fucking pride in that shit. I take pride in being weird.

Encouraging being weird includes non-conforming of trying to be "normal" and rather accepting the weird, funky side of yourself. Also, accepts cringe, "flop" things, and more. It heavily goes against the stigma that those with traits that make the individual "weird" should either be sugar-coated or the individual should rather try to "fit in" and erase their "weird" traits. Rather, instead, it encourages that the individual loves the traits for how they are, as they are a part of themselves.

connectedpapers

the basic rundown is: you use the search bar to enter a topic, scientific paper name or DOI. the website then offers you a list of papers on the topic, and you choose the one you're looking for/most relevant one. from here, it makes a tree diagram of related papers that are clustered based on topic relatability and colour-coded by time they were produced!

for example: here i search "human B12"

i go ahead and choose the first paper, meaning my graph will be based around it and start from the topics of "b12 levels" and "fraility syndrome"

here is the graph output! you can scroll through all the papers included on the left, and clicking on each one shows you it's position on the chart + will pull up details on the paper on the right hand column (title, authors, citations, abstract/summary and links where the paper can be found)

you get a few free graphs a month before you have to sign up, and i think the free version gives you up to 5 a month. there are paid versions but it really depends how often you need to use this kinda thing.
