I wrote two separate 30 page term papers on two different subjects over the course of a single weekend where I stayed in the library for a full 30 hours and handed both of them in the following Monday. Passed both those classes.

The night before it was due, I noticed an error in my analysis of some data that required me to modify the entirety of my 44-page dissertation overnight in order to properly account for how it affected my results and conclusions. I got a 2:1, the second highest grade possible.

Fuck AI.

I wrote the remaining 20 pages of a 30 page paper on historically comparative drought values the night before it was due AND last minute studied for the 3 finals I had over the course of the next 2 days of which I stayed awake for on a jug filled with NOS energy drinks and coffee grounds.

Update: I'm so upset that I had to calm myself down to make this post.

#MutualAid #MAHelp #HelpSky #HelpFolksLive2025 💸💕

I know I already did a Daily Boost but I got some bad news to share.

Walmart all of a sudden wants to verify my grocery orders & they decided to do this at the worst time. They want to verify my order via phone number but my phone is off & it cost me $70 to turn it back on. I only have enough money to either turn my phone back on or order groceries. I don't have enough for both.

This is so upsetting to me because they've never done this to me and I've been ordering groceries from them for a couple of years. It's the closest and most affordable groceries I can get since I don't have a car. So I'm in a lose-lose situation right now. Please if y'all can help me out so I won't starve, that would be very much appreciated.

Picture of my phone with the Walmart app opened. The text shown on the screen states:

"Let's Verify it's you. Receive a one-time code on your phone, and use it to sign in to your account."

It then says below that "Phone number (10 digits) with a blank boxed space below.

Scarily accurate.
uquiz.com/quiz/p0u5c3/...

Discontent
You create from discontent. Most of your life has been spent being uncomfortable in your own skin. This body is just another house that's never felt like home. You don't know how to be at ease in this world or this life. Art is a way of running away, of forgetting yourself and escaping to a more comfortable place. To cope with an unhospitable reality, you create more welcoming worlds to consume your work and your waking hours. But the foundation of your art has always been your discontent with the real world and your life within it. Lurking behind the inviting scenery you dream of is the desperate desire to be anywhere but here. It is a world constructed as a respite from this one. Such vivid fantasies are the dream of one who considers reality a prison.

Got a donation last night, poppets! That much closer to my goal of fixing up my car. Remember that any amount helps! Shoot, if everyone who watched/followed me donated $1 it would be funded in a day.

Dug out some old Pentakill music from Riot to listen to on my way home. It's been several years since I last listened to it, and I never expected it to take me to a happy place. I really needed that.

fanart of Melinoe from Hades 2, wearing a modern outfit (dark jeans, orange top), she has a big tattoo on her right arm, and is about to tie her hair with a hair band (is this how it's called in english ?)
her eyes are closed, she has nice arm muscles and looks extremely lesbian

The vote iirc is on the 14th. You have six days to oppose this. You need to be shouting. Loudly. For those six days.

We got our first donation yesterday! A huge relief for me but still so far to go. I know the goal is large, and everyone is struggling right now, but I still have no where else to turn. If you can spare even $5, that would be more help than you could ever imagine. Small ripples make big waves.

A dire illustration communicating an emergency, the need for rent ($2000) and how much is currently donated ($100). The text reads:
"We are currently experiencing an EMERGENCY: A, my former partner, decided to move out and leave behind a disabled native trans person and my pregnant partner with no support. I just got a job but it won't be enough to cover all expenses. Right now we are raising $2000 for rent. Just rent. No food, no payments on any utilities. Just... rent. If rent goes overdue x3, we go homeless. Given my disabilities, I will die if I go homeless. We have no other support. PLEASE HELP US!"

I feel like the big reason I'm not making appreciable headway with my main TTRPG design project is because I don't actually know what the game is supposed to be about. I thought I had answered that question, but now I realize that the answer I had can't carry the game I want.
