Daily Bloomer Thread for the 30th of September 2023
(hexbear.net)
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.
