imma be a nerd here for a second but it’s actually insane how data analysis, statistics etc can shape literally your perspective of the world / society.
being able to manage and display data is SO powerful, especially for governments. biggest proof of this is how the US government are now making certain databases either unavailable or straight up changing them to tell the story they want to tell.
learning about it can avoid a whole lot of manipulation. plus I love making cute little charts 💖

Like so many people, I never cared for history. It was always just a bunch of dates, cause-and-effect relationships, and names I had to memorize last minute before an exam. Now that I’m so many years separated from all that, I’ve finally found that I’m entering the pro-history phase of my life. I mean, it’s just so interesting. There’s such finite details available about everything, and sooo many different little niches with tons of resources equally as available as the obvious stuff. oh and it’s true, which is both terrifying and cool.

It's for my dnd campaign lol but now I can't stop learning about ancient civilizations and how those cultures would've evolved without colonial interferences (More specifically Mayan Futurism) Seriously though getting sucked into random subjects and choosing to jump into the rabbit hole is a special experience

Specifically, I study mine waste using data science and satellite images.
I'm still an art nerd at heart.

it controls our lives so much I think we forget that it’s actually in a little box of glass and metal and that WE are the ones who use it, not the other way around.
i wanna turn mine into a photo album, reclaim the purpose of it as a place to just share photos of nice moments whenever I feel like it. Fuck social media anxiety these are just little icons on my phone so who caressssss

prioritize seeing friends and family over your to-do list. since I live in another country, I learned to do that anytime I have a chance.
do I have this really important thing I need to do for uni? yes. will I do it? after lunch with my grandma and coffee with my friends, thank you very much. they might die, and my work unfortunately cannot.
