So I've gotten off the phone with Sallie Mae. I might be eligible for an interest only payment (which would reduce my 1,600 a month to 1,300 a month). Problem is I need to pay the current fee of 3k.

And since I'm bad at promoting here I am now. Chapter 3 is being worked on but 1 and 2 are live.

[SOSGB] Helping a Brother Out?
#storyofseasonsgrandbazaar #sosgb #laserlimeart

A doodly B/W comic featuring Derek and Jules from Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar.

Derek sits at his desk, sticking his tongue out as he plays a game on his Gameboy Advance.

He's startled by his brother, Jules, clasping a hand on his shoulder and suddenly appearing behind him.
Jules: Derek.

Derek (offscreen): What's up, broseph?
Jules: I'd like to know why this book was on my desk.... broseph.
With a furrowed brow, Jules lifts up and points to a magazine labeled FARMERS ILLUSTRATED SUMMER ISSUE, featuring a scantily clad female farmer on the front cover.

Distraught, Derek puts a hand to his cheek to feign being hurt.
Derek: Like you don't know!
Jules: I don't.

Derek's eyes widen and his mouth droops, as if to look pitying toward his brother, as he points to the magazine.
Derek: ...you don't? Well, um... you know what that IS, don't you? (Shucks... I don't know if I can give "the talk"...)
Jules flares up in annoyance.
Jules: I've cleaned your room for YEARS, I know what it IS. I want to know WHY it was on MY desk!!

Derek shrugs with a catlike smirk.
Derek: Well, I know you and Piper made it official... and you have, uh, rizz in the negatives...

Jules stands in wide-eyed shock with a pronounced scowl.
Derek: So I figured I'd help you out And what better way than a book? You love those.

In anger, Jules swipes Derek's Gameboy Advance and stomps away.
Derek: H-HEY! I haven't saved!
Jules: Maybe I'll learn better from your game.

Want to pull out this slide: people deserve to know there’s a growing mountain of evidence finding more Covid infections = more likelihood of being left chronically ill.

There’s a temptation to think that if you recovered ok last time, then you will next time too, but that’s not what the data say.

Researchers in Spain assessed over 190,000 participants, using data from a public health research network, in a study published in the journal Vaccines. They found that Long COVID prevalence was three to 10 times higher in individuals with three or more reported infections (about 600 people in the dataset) than in those with only one infection.

They also found that the number of thrombotic events, including strokes and pulmonary embolisms, in people under 60 doubled from 2020 to 2024, in both people who were and weren’t vaccinated. The authors concluded that policymakers should prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and that healthcare workers should continue wearing protective masks.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

we're not going to have a good, sustainable social media site as long as it is made or run by tech people. that is why I am building my own out of water, small rocks, moss, snails, brightly colored shrimp, one of those sucking fish, a mermaid statue. I'll be honest, this may actually be an aquarium.

It’s almost impossible to figure out how to bear witness to horrible things while also knowing those things are absolutely getting off on controlling your emotional state and my only advice is that they remastered Final Fantasy Tactics with some really nice voice acting
