think i kinda like linoprinting

#🛷 #i’ve been working on a Watership Down thing but it’s a reductive lino piece so it’s taking a while #i’m really unconfident with how it’s going so far. how it’s printing & the linocut design in general Isn’t Great #so if it’s shite by the time i print the final layer #then i might just submit this one as my Jackson’s Art Prize piece instead #art #printmaking #a starved dog’s logic about bones #uniposting #my art

may he never see this but i was telling an english major friend of mine about catullus' invective poetry today and he just straight up didnt believe me at first like he said i was making fun of his lack of classics knowledge by saying that they would ever say I will sodomise you and facefuck you And Oh Memmius, well and long and slow you skullfucked me supine with that whole beam. like he said that shit!!!!

#they hit you with catullus 16 etc in the intro to rome unit at my uni SOMEONE should have taken at least one classics unit #i was reading from my google doc of my own translations so i guess No Authority. No Book. like i was pointing through pedicabo ego uos et #irrumabo explaining what each word meant and he was like you could just be lying to me. that is a crazy thing for this poet ive never heard #of to say #it was so funny i was in disbelief. we both were i guess #anyway #shut up ulrike #rome #catullus #tagamemnon #uniposting

now that i’ve deferred because a uni degree is nothing but an entrance ticket into moderate financial security and not worth utterly obliterating my mental health over i am compiling my own curriculum. all the posts i’ve ever tagged with #ref because they contain essays articles and other texts that i want to read but have never gotten around to, all that goes on the list. around fifty academic articles and book chapters downloaded onto my laptop from jstor while i still have access to it, tailored to fit my personal interests.

rearranging my self-education. little mx autodidact. carving out a passage through the brambles with a freshly sharpened machete. make no mistake, the thorns are piercing and will continue to tear at my exposed limbs, but the pain is worth the fruits of knowledge at the end, real knowledge and not something superimposed from above. i know, i know, undergrads aren’t afforded that freedom of narrowing our study, it’s something earned with time and effort and only fully permitted at a “higher” level of education, but who determines these levels?

it sounds silly and rash, but it’s a long-deliberated decision. the university environment is not right for my weird brain despite my literary inclinations, and i prefer to select my own path towards learning while working a low paying job on the side. perhaps i’ll return in a year’s time after all, matured and mellowed, hardened or roughened with real-life experience and online self-teaching, to pursue liberal arts as the most, well, liberated pathway. maybe not.

maybe if i had gone to one of those colleges where they allow you to pick and choose your own modules for your degree entirely (like one of the people that i most admire on this website did in its time) things would have gone down differently, but alas. let the world keep turning and let everything that serves no purpose any longer decompose and compost into something new .

“what has this got to do with autism?” you may ask, “i’m autistic and i completed a normal bachelors’ degree just fine.” your answer: having been in a place of moderate autistic burnout for years that abruptly turned severe in the past few months, my bodymind has shifted into what is known rather disparagingly under the medical model as “autistic regression” or “regressive autism”: a gradual distancing further and further away from accepted neurotypical standards of moving through and navigating the world around me.

one of the ways in which this unmasking presents itself, apart from the more noticeable characteristics such as outwardly visible stimming and a complete absence of eye contact, is a total inability to focus on, be motivated by and/or engage in any (textual, literary, cinematic etc etc) materials that do not connect at least tangentially or superficially with my special interests (that being ghosts/hauntings, hauntology, folk horror, lovecraftiana/cosmic horror, horror in general, the gothic, neurodiversity, alternative music; narratives/storytelling, folklore/fairytales; queer theory; carceral abolition and liberation; and a few other subjects here unlisted). according to normative capitalist logic of usefulness and productivity, that makes me “severely disabled” by virtue of “restricted interests”. i would say it makes me a interesting person with tall twisted tales to tell, but nevermind that silly nonsense, it’s a mad person speaking.

at this present moment i have no motivation, wish nor desire to continue wasting time and energy attempting to study and remember things that do not connect with the key concepts that my mind is constantly orbiting around. if that makes me incurious or annoying or limited, so be it — this neurological difference affects every aspect of my personality and i do not wish to change it. if the world around us refuses to change, we must either alter it ourselves or construct our own pathways out of the shadows and into the moonlit garden.

my question is like where tf are you supposed to meet people these days

everyone was like oh yeah youll meet so many people at uni! but its absolutely not the case lol. youre lucky to have 1/4 of the class show up, people refuse to talk at all in group projects (literally just email links with what theyve done. no meetups no calls nothing), people race home/to work as soon as class is over. literally over the past year so many of the clubs have shut down or ‘reduced activities’ because of lack of membership, and theyre soooo limited to begin w. its just like. where the hell are we making friends post hs????? where are we meeting people to date????

every university class got a 35 year old Bachelor of Education student who looks like this and talks continuously for 10 minutes about something unrelated to the question the professor just asked

We've started on plant biology at uni, and it's the most fun I think I've had in my studies so far!! Looking at all the different components of the various plants under the dissecting microscope is fascinating, and I could honestly do it for hours and stay amazed at what I was seeing~🌱

Today was a rough day, but being allowed to take home some of the flowers used in one of the demonstrations made it better. These pretty blooms are called Sticky Everlasting (Xerochrysum viscosum), and they're a species of native Australian daisy, sometimes called Paper Daisies because of the texture of their petals~🌼

so life update i martin kinnied a little too close to the sun and deferred the academic year (for the americans, this is like temporarily dropping out to return later). goodbye for now uniposting i’m going to work part time and spend the rest recovering from the depression/autistic burnout/cognitive impairment i’ve been struggling with for the past ten months. then next september if all goes as planned i’ll be back better than ever

the worst part of this is having to live with my parents again but they’re trying their absolute hardest to support me so i can’t fault them too much even when an occasional ableist comment sets off alarm bells from time to time. they’re even close to accepting the rest of me, queerness and all (“you can date anyone as long as you find SOMEONE to love” is what it’s come to. these are russians fyi so that kind of paradigm shift indicates some desperate times)
