Schoolwork triggering PTSD is so ridiculous. It's so silly. It's such a nothing thing to be fucked up over. It's not rational. It feels so fake. Like such a lazy excuse! How do I even unpack that. Brains are absurd. Nervous systems are dramatic assholes.

I've been flipping my nephew over the couch while he's here because he fucking LOVES it. And now he's trying to flip himself by throwing himself head first into the cushions. I'm sure this won't end poorly at all! 🤣

I can't get over how unprepared the App State grad level Analog left me for ostensibly the same class at NC State. It's so frustrating because I understand and can build the circuits, but I'm still feeling overwhelmed by the math.

Well, I don't think I failed the test today. A lot less confident in tomorrow's!

I don't know what to do about administration's new tactic of entirely ignoring my existence, but this is getting so fucking absurd. How are they allowed to ignore student emails asking for help? All I wanted was to use the online proctor service *listed on the university website*! 🤡🤡🤡

That accommodations consultant came into our meeting with the same energy as the production companies approach the WGA and SAG. "We came here willing to provide you with absolutely nothing that we weren't already giving you and you will be grateful for it."

My opportunity to study space has been placed behind a brick wall and the only way to get through is slamming my head into the wall until I make a hole or I die.

It's been five hours since my useless DRO meeting and I'm still fuming because now I know there's no end to this. There's no lucky break or beleaguered employee doing everything they can to help. I'm so angry I feel sick, I can't calm down. I'm so disgusted. I'm losing my fucking mind.

I'm going to try and remember to post here enough that I don't disappear. If anyone knows any physicists or engineers woth Dyscalculia, please connect us! I'm getting so frustrated this semester with the math I KNOW I understand and have done before! 😭

Hello everyone! One of my friends is in an extraordinary moment in her life. She is 1semester away from completing her degree, but as an international student she doesn't qualify forfinancial aid. I would appreciate if you could donate to or boost this GFM!

What's the professional way to point out that the university and professors had no trouble adjusting to accommodations for the short and insufficient lockdown, so their assertions that there's just no way and I must compromise my health or be left behind are obviously bullshit.

I am so annoyed at how hard I'm having to work to prove I am not a cheating cheater who cheats while going into ridiculous debt for the privilege. Just let me take the test at home with my webcam on so I don't have to risk Covid, the entire reason I switched to online in the first place. Fuck.

Artoo's gut bacteria went a little haywire, so hopefully nothing some rest, fluids, bland diet, and probiotics can't solve. Today was filled with anxiety for me, but he was apparently great at the vet without me, so that's good!

Had to take Artoo to the vet, but they only had drop off spots available and I am STRESSING OUT about it. He's probably fine. I was probably being overcautious. But I do not like this.

I'm going to try to make a gluten free stout. I've made many plans the last three years that went nowhere, but the Vyvanse has opened up very many follow through options!

Usually people are pretty good around Artoo and they ask before they approach, but I recently had a woman follow me around BJs and come up to me at the checkout to get his attention and pet him! She saw his vest and started apologizing "oh I never do this", but kept on trying to get his attention!

Very cool that everyone who helped abuse me out of App State for asking for very basic and common accommodations keeps getting diversity awards and promotions. I'm sure I was an outlier and they'll never harm another student again. 🙄

Someone explain why the pre-sliced "pound" of prosciutto is so much lighter than the fresh sliced. At twice the cost, I'm never going back to paying for wax paper!

Today was the first day I passed a fish fry sign since my gluten allergy. This fucking sucks. It's too complicated and too expensive. I hate it. 😡

I was worried Artoo was playing to vigorously with the new dog my friends rescued, but it turns out she literally had to learn HOW to play because she was probably crated her whole life and she's just now getting the energy from being fed properly! 😭😭😭

Poodle hair is so weird! They don't *technically* shed, but the hair still comes out and gets trapped in the rest of the hair. It's why they matte up so badly if you don't brush all the way to the skin! But, Artoo also doesn't smell like wet dog when he gets wet. Which might be even weirder.
