Here it is, the daily thread to share all things good and positive!
Did you make strides in unionizing your work place recently?
Hear about a strike?
See a cool bug?
Help out a comrade?
If so, share it with us in the comments here! It doesn’t matter big or small! This is a space to recharge and remind yourself what you’re fighting for.
Comment anything here, as long as it’s good vibes! (sorry this one was so late)
To avoid self-doxxing. I’m taking a STEM class online as I am balancing a full-time job because I want to finish the STEM degree I dropped out of. Ok porky, you win, I’ll get a STEM degree.
…And I’m holding my own despite me thinking I was too stupid for STEM. Hopefully in a couple years from now I’ll be making real money, have a hobby, a partner and some friends and living far FAR away from my CHUDDy red state (if not out of the great satan entirely).
That’s great you didn’t let your self-doubt stop you from getting into it. I always hear people saying things like they just don’t know how to do math or whatever but I think they just haven’t had the right teachers or enough practice with it. Some people might take a bit more time but can get to just as high a level as quicker ‘math brains’ can, or whatever the subject is.
For sure, I’m the cliche “I like science but I’m bad at math” and I retook Calc I and II and I did decent in them during my senior year and I worked my butt off.
