we're back after an absence. unfortunately my week has kicked off with a full day of completely dying from eating too much food, then my body rejecting food--this is not ideal, obviously. also my internal clock is messed up and i'm way behind on some stuff

It feels like I’m the rope in tug-of-war between my current career and my ambitions to become a physician.

There’s the long term decision and the current reality of trying to passably perform in both work and my organic chemistry class.

Is increasing trans representation in healthcare really a worthwhile personal pursuit with climate calamity on the horizon? Would it be better to channel my energy into mutual aid, community organizing, and foster care?

I wish I had an academic mentor (or any mentor) to talk to about it. Yeah, I’m a real adult now and therapy is a thing but 🤷‍♂️
