My shop is still closed while I continue to send out kittenbee pins, so I can't take anymore shop orders right now either! Fam has helped some too, I'm trying from all angle right now. Goodnight for now everyone, going to soothe my brain with Hollow Knight for a half hour before hitting the hay.

I know it's the middle of the goddamn night, but it took me all day to wind up to post about needing financial help this badly. I'll repost tomorrow when it can be more visible too.

I am quite frankly desperate to make ends meet this month. We are $900 short on rent alone despite everything, and could really use any help we can get. I'm taking autumn YCH commissions and accepting any other help I can get to make sure the check clear in just a few days here.

Making it profitable to detain people and stuff them into camps is what we call a "perverse incentive".

I wrote a robotics final with tech diagrams in 3 hours during a halloween party after I'd had a bunch of jaeger because my lab partners lied about adding their work and submitting it. Got an A. They'd usually pulled B's.

AI has nothing on deadline-induced fugue state.

I have an English masters. I had a *reputation* for doing my papers last minute, so much so that my boss at Red Robin gave me an "award" for "Most likely to stay up late to write a paper."

Graduated magna cum laude. Been teaching college English 14 years now.

Fuck AI.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.
