  • Hi, its been a gazillion years since I was last on this platform but I hope you’ve all been doing well.

    This week I have been doing some self reflecting due to politics, and I am trying to figure out how to get involved in my local community. Currently starting off small by finishing my high school diploma after a decade, and seeing if I can help my fellow classmates out with the resources I know about. Since they’re also all in similar situations with educational and financial issues, I have been collecting resources on things like digital literacy, sexual health, financial planning sites, and local food banks.

    I am also thinking of conquering my fear of meeting my ex in-laws and going to the local LGBTQ drop in, but that will have to wait a few weeks. Got too many appointments.

    Other than that, I started talking to my friends again after dealing with social anxiety caused by being “chronically offline” for once. Since I am studying now, I need to work on my school-life balance too.







  • Not really.

    I like witchy stuff but only if its considerable to placebos. A rose quartz bracelet, for example, might not be scientifically going to attract love and good fortune—but its cute and makes me happy, so who knows, THAT might help.

    If I had to choose a religion though, I’d probably go with one of those polytheist religions because ever since I was a kid and first went to a church camp, I decided that a singular “God” scares the shit out of me. I basically considered “God” too overpowered and decided that wasn’t for me.


  • Not going well but I am not without hope either.

    My mom didn’t get approved for social assistance so I’m crunching numbers on our budget for the next month or so.

    Brought out the instant pot and made some nice black beans, which I turned into black bean burgers. 😋

    Switched from Pop OS to Linux Mint, liking the experience so far. Not as cute as Pop OS was, but I like the interface and the battery alerts and sound effects. So it’s not bad.

    After roughly five hours of phone calls, on Friday I somehow managed to get a lead on getting my mother back on social assistance. We have an appointment tomorrow for her to apply. I’m hoping that the application actually goes through and we don’t once again get told to screw off.

    I’m gonna be exhausted this week!! I have so many appointments.



  • Surprisingly, I installed Calibre on Linux and for some reason it just looks…better on Linux? Not sure if its because it opened up in default dark mode or what, but it doesn’t look as ugly when I’m using it on Pop_OS. Feels at home, really.

    I will say its definitely a beast. I’ve used it a few times but I never really went in depth with it’s features. I’m definitely liking the bulk tag editing, the shop search (I’ve been looking for a way to search DRM-free books and it has it!), and the default tags. The last one is mainly because I think getting a tag called “mentally ill women” for The Yellow Wallpaper is a little funny.
