Do it. Dm me. I’m currently in an airport but will yap when I can. I actually did the program in Scotland but my study site was in Iceland. I think I did apply to Iceland though. I took Icelandic in college. :] It’s a cool place.

Blessuð! Já, I believe it. One day I’ll be back. :)

They need to give us something to fight for first. The system is not currently supporting and nourishing it’s children. Why on earth would we trust people to help that can’t even fully recognise a genocide? How do we trust them to give us healthcare? It’s an insult to the intelligence of the American people.

I did my Master’s on a site in the region a decade ago. Suppose it depends on what you want.

We critique out of love, in hope for better futures.

Right?

This restaurant is single handedly responsible for completely 180ing my attitudes on seafood. It broke me lmfao. I’m so thankful I was brought there.

It’s OK. :) My brain jumped around, it can be hard to follow. I was not clear.

Next time, take at least 10 days and rent a car. Go to this restaurant. Die happy.

10/10 would go to Iceland again.

Plants in the daisy family.

Science shouldn’t be means tested. Neoliberalism will kill us all.

Yes.

You keep asking me: “How do I study theory better?” But, theory, as you say, makes your head spin. You lose focus. You can’t find words to summarize it. So my question back is: Why are you trying to force yourself to study theory? What do you actually want to understand? Not “I want to study socialism,” because socialism itself is just a method. Socialism is a tool, not an answer. A hammer without a nail. What questions do you have? What do you want to know about the world? What problems do you care about and want to solve? What do you care about and why? Once you know what you want to understand, learning becomes effortless.

ps: always happy to soundboard :)

You keep asking “how do I get better at the thing that doesn’t work for me” and I am saying “stop doing the thing because it isn’t the only or ‘correct’ way of doing things," not that there is a correct way. You aren’t asking the right questions or starting with questions if you are stuck here. Start figuring you what you want to know.

To summarise the text I attached… Trust the resistance. If it feels like you are forcing something that doesn’t fit, that is probably what you are doing. What are you actually trying to learn? Not “study theory” but what do you want to understand?
