#thinking of dinosaurs and troodontids were my favorite dinosaurs as a child#when younger i had a real full troodontid tooth fossil that meant a lot to me#for a time we lived within a few kilometers of hadrosaur sites and troodontid sites#while wider general area had many sites of recovery for the big celebrities like tyrannosaur and multiple dromaeosaurs#at that time troodontids were kinda infamous for i think the depiction in some childrens field guides and dino books#which depicted like a fantasy speculative humanoid troodontid based on 1980s model at Canadian Museum of Nature in ottawa#anyway would visit a small local paleo center a lot and woman in her 70s or 80s ran the counter of their center and rock shop#one day she asked me what my fave dino was and i said troodon so she pulled out the tooth and just gifted it to me#in little black case size of ring box with padding and transparent plastic viewing cover kinda like laminate for displaying a trading card#tooth got stolen from out my vehicle while giving some people a ride while at university before i got too poor for tuition#later during first year of pandemic owner of my storage unit died and new property owners threw away everything i ever owned#i was homeless anyway lost job due to early pandemic closures and had to allocate any money to insulin and other prescrip meds#but wouldve found a way to save my things if the new owners had contacted me#they threw out photoalbums y backpacking gear y books y musical instruments y clothes y artwork y camera y all family keepsakes#and all childhood treasures like souvenirs and gifts and school awards and writing portfolios and all the little memories#which i was always sentimental about as child#from earliest age my room looked like a natural history museum with plants and maps and library of field guides#and rocks and field trip keepsakes and all kinds of little animal figurines and mother had painted room in forest greens and browns#to feel like a forest and among the succulent plants and a globe sat the troodon tooth#parents passed when i was a child#never near any family and were always moving never got to settle into proper stable place then father passed after long sad illness#and mother put in so much effort but she passed few years later and i could not take care of myself or my remaining material possessions#and so im still quite hurt having nothing whatsoever remaining of my childhood or school friends or mother or life generally#and when trying to process grief my thoughts often come back to the troodontid tooth as a focal point a distillation of what was lost#even when young i knew it was advised not to become too connected to material physical possessions#but still there are some small little trinkets in our lives that seem to hold so much meaning and i tortured myself for losing that tooth#thinking about troodon reminds me of childhood

i want to write an article about how unethical and toxic the black hair styling community is. like i am so tired of stumbling on videos and tik toks of black women crying, ranting, etc over some stylist scamming them or canceling on them (and keeping the deposit), etc. like we should not be going through this by our own people.
#like a lot of hair stylist and braiders nowadays just doing it for the money#they don’t care for the the connections with their clients anymore#i been sticking to the african braiding shop near my house for years now and the experice#is so much better than what i used to be going through by booking with braiders i find on instagram or twitter#i literally text the lady that’s braiding my hair..get a set price…get an appointment time and day#and boom come to the appointment as is!#THEY EVEN FEED ME ALSO IF I’M THERE ALL DAY!

Had to wait weeks for a phone appointment with the Dr's. Even took the day of work and turned down an extra shift last night for it.
Doctor: "This is going to be too difficult to do over the phone I'll make another appointment fir two weeks time
I'm so fucking done with everything
Ten fucking years I've been dealing with this shut and I don't even know for certain what the fuck is wring with me.

i NEED to sell a lot of my old college and high school clothes bc as much as i love dressing gothic-ish i really don't anymore (boring job problems). i have so much comic and anime merch i need to sell too but first i need to get a p.o box but they're so expensive
#🦌#UGH!!!!#im probably only gonna sell things i think are interesting enough to sell online and I'm basically donating a lot of clothes bc#i don't think they will sell online#i have so many comic books that i don't read so i may see if a local comic shop near me will buy them. and if not maybe a library?#i may just get a storage unit but getting one AND a p.o box is gonna be a lot

It was so surreal finally going
#i was geeking so incredibly hard#this has been my hyperfixation for like four years now#i remember vowing i would go see it one day#and i finally did#the art on the bag being near identical to the art in the intro makes me so unbelievably happy#also the guy working there was drinking red wine#very on brand lmao#he was extremely nice though#they must've based the set design on the actual interior of the shop because it has the same wood paneling#like i said i was geeking#i still am#help#yapping#black books

Honestly $75 is more reasonable than I expected. I have to be shelling out at least half that a month on pricey coffees I don't need just to write there. I could definitely see doing $75 depending on the amenities at a co-working space.
What's the set-up like at the place you're looking at?
heya!! i'm looking at a...regional? regionalish?? chain, so it's not doxxing myself to just name it haha. COhatch has a $75/month coworking option if you're good with a single location (there's a $120/month option that let's you access all COhatches anywhere, which could be neat if you travel!).
it comes with wifi and tea/coffee and office supplies/printing access and a kitchen space and like a zillion other little things (listed comprehensively on their website!). the vibe when i was there late this afternoon was coffeeshop-esque but quieter, which is exactly what i need--lots of big tables and natural light and some cushy comfy chair options. you have to pay more to play the private offices or meeting rooms, and the coworking membership means you can only use the space for a limited number of business hours every month, BUT nights and weekends hours are unlimited (which. again. is exactly what my day-job-working-self needs haha).
i checked out a local option that was similar, but it was $140/month for pretty much identical amenities (and the space was ambiently Louder, which is Bad for me). you should definitely look into coworking spaces near you, if it sounds useful! i was bamboozled to discover that google maps says they both close at 5PM but the membership thing gets you 24/7 access (which is why other spaces haven't worked for me--Closing Time, the Bane of My Existence).
#text#personal#anon#admin#answered#coworking#thanks for writing!!#tbf i had heard of cohatch a while ago from a friend but the 5PM closing is what Got Me#and i uh. just never checked further than google maps about it 🫣#there was a LOT of pay to play add ons in the little tour i booked this afternoon#(both places did free tours!)#the premises are Secured also#you badge in and out after close#and theyre all situated in places where its easy to walk to food or shopping or whatever#the local option was like that too#you should deffo see if theres anything similar near you though#im hoping this will be a godsend

"Gleamingaura" as a business name in numerology represents a focus on spiritual growth and development, as well as a commitment to creating a positive and radiant energy. The numbers in the name suggest a focus on innovation, independence, and individuality, as well as an ability to see things from a holistic perspective.
If this business provides services related to numerology or spiritual growth, the name "Gleamingaura" may be fitting and appealing to potential customers. However, it's important to note that the choice of a business name should ultimately be based on personal preference and what feels right for the business and its values.

#mood rocketing downhill. thjs can only end well :-(#on my period and so tired and sad and lonely and i really really really want a hug im going to bash my head in with a rock#and a bit annoyed i spent ages testing climbing shoes today which ive been meaning to do for ages and the staff were rly nice#and i got a pair in the end but tbh i may end up returning them bc on reflection im not sure theyll work for my specific climbing style#what i rly wanted was a few sizes down of my current ones but they didnt have stock. and i tried the size i wanted in a variation of the#same shoe ie. same shape just not the rubber im after and they fit near perfectly so now im just thinking abt them instead.#u know what fuck it. ill take the train to my old city tmr and go to the climbing store there bc i checked online n they do have them.#ill just be constantly doubting my decision if i dont and i need to do smth nice for myself. and i can read on the train#and if they dont fit better well i have these other ones. and these ones are still nice! but im worried theyre more suited to sport/trad#and im primarily a boulderer... and i mean theyd def be good for some types of bouldering and i wanna get into sport/trad anyway but arghhh#whatever. fuck it. booked my train its not that expensive anyway just time. im tired of letting my decision paralysis get to me#and always settling for shit that makes me unhappy bc its not quite what i want but i talk myself into pretending im okay with it#when im not!!! and its unfair to myself and everyone around me to so consistently fail to identify n communicate my actual wants/needs#this isnt actually abt the shoes im upset for other reasons but at least projecting it onto this gives me a semblance of control#and gives me an easy way out of having to confront n deal with my avoidance...... it literally has no fucking limits huh.#well whatever. i need to food shop and eat and shower and then its okay ill play a videogame and go to bed early#its not been that bad a day i watched a movie this morning which was nice. and it was nice to cycle around the weathers great#probably havent slept enough. probably took my afternoon meds too late. probably just feeling lonely and tired and on my period....#tomorrow will be a nice day and monday i have climbing and there are other nice things coming up. puts down my head bashing rock#okay feeling a bit better now ive cried a bit and typed this. deep breath. wheres my shopping list.#.diaries#.vent#byeee
