  • I feel that last one, so hard.

    I had access to extra time and all that for maths, which I have always struggled with learning. I never felt justified in using them, told myself I was just dumb, not trying hard enough to learn. It didn’t matter that I was losing sleep, and still not improving, there was something I could somehow magically fix if I just kept pushing myself through the rock in my way.











  • That, sadly, depends on where you are. I see tons of 90s shitbox sedans with the sticker. Most of the trucks prefer to full rear window cling and physical flag hanging somewhere from the bed.

    Both usually have at least 1 snake, 3 Trump heads, and enough MAGA stickers, you’d think they’re painted red.

    They also get extremely pissed at the one car with a Trans heart on the back. It’s fucking hilarious. Wanna bitch about it being an “eyesore” when they’ve got enough bullshit across their trunk to act as a form of armor.






  • LibreOffice on an old HP laptop I got for free, still running win10 because I can’t be assed to change OS on the half-dead creature. It’s currently the home of two on-going projects and one that I will go back to whenever these two are done, or at least done telling me their stories for the time.

    My only real advice is the one everyone should have heard by now: Just write something. It doesn’t have to be good, it doesn’t have even have to have a greater context. Exercise your creativity. Get comfortable with it.




  • I don’t know how it was in your school, but I feel you on the A.R program. My school had maybe 20 books qualifed for A.R in the library.

    It was an absolute slog of the same uninteresting books year after year, and every time they wanted to ask how to make it better, they shrugged off “Get more varied options”. We could see the fucking list in the program we went to take the tests in. There were fucking hundreds.

    Not everything can be framed in a way to make it easier on everyone, but it’s so much easier to teach people when you can frame it in a way they’ll enjoy.
