Without downloading anything, where are you mentally right now?

On an anniversary that has me awake in the middle of the night feeling the effects of the last several years of what feels like endless losses, it seems like the only thing to do for the pain is plan more Halloween decorating.

Everybody I'm missing, two- and four-legged, would totally get it. 🌈🎃🌈

"Prioritize the current budget areas" - have you guys looked at them recently?

Gwenefar @gwenefar.bsky.social · 5d

I gotta say, it's a wild time to be taking a class about ethics in public administration. Research results using government sources end up looking like this.

A screenshot from GovInfo.gov's page "Budget of the United States Government" with "The President's FY 2026 Discretionary Budget Request," broken down into such sections as "Cuts to Woke Programs Fact Sheet," "Ending the Green New Scam Fact Sheet" and other very mature titles for the leader of the free world to use in official documents.

I hadn't ever heard of a green jay, so this is two new birds for me.

Aaaaaanyway, time to dig for more resources regarding how changes in presidential administration affect how public administration is done. Kinda thought this one would be a LITTLE easier to find resources for?

I may sound cheap or lazy, but my goal is to get through this experience while spending as little of my own money as possible. If my union discount and tuition reimbursement won't cover it, I don't want it. 😅

Gwenefar @gwenefar.bsky.social · 10d

That being said, I hate when my school's online library has twenty reviews of a book that sounds like EXACTLY what I need for a paper, but doesn't have the book itself - and every online resource for the book wants $20 to $200 depending on what it is.

Gwenefar @gwenefar.bsky.social · 10d

I like being able to do college online because my first college experience was hell (and the less time I have to spend around people, the better), and doing research online is much faster and more effective than it was the first time around.

Shopping for thread in a post-Joann Fabric world is weird and I don't like it. I dread the next time I decide I *need* fabric for something.
