#in my busiest time of the year

I know others got it worse probs, but it's so obnoxious that I can't find a place to live around here for less than half my monthly income. the whole It's suppose to be a third is such a damn lie.

I know some people cut back and live off instant ramen and stuff but I don't want to have to do that. this nation is a joke. and humans inventing currency was a shit ass idea

I want so desperately to finish this one, but life has other plans for me this month. I learned a ton while working on it, so fingers crossed I can pick the momentum back up in the future

Cesar Cielo (Olympic gold medallist, 6x World Aquatic Championships gold medallist, 50m freestyle World Record holder for 15 years and counting) swam his last Olympics in 2012, and spent Paris 2024 not in the (Olympic) pool, but as a TV Globo/SporTV commentator and Brazilian social media darling.

do u guys think that telling my prof i want to watch the IT movies and talk to my friends in my phone is a valid excuse to not doing my assignments. i really think it is. actually it's my prof's fault for assigning me work when i have friends to talk to and IT movies to watch. reporting to the dean rn

I wish I could have taken today off. The last two weeks have been cooking for rosh hashanah> celebrating rosh hashanah> one day of work> going to atlanta for a brutal trip to visit my mom > 3.5 days of work > preparing for yom kippur > observing yom kippur AND hosting 3 college sophomores > back to work

all while on extreme deadline for my work newsletter and spending a lot of time orienting a new coworker and I literally do not have anything left. Like I'm not being dramatic I have nothing left to give. Just visiting my mom alone is something that takes days to recover from and all this other stuff on top of it. Plus the mental load of my brother living in a war zone and the election and also like, I am still being a good mom and making dinner and keeping house and exercising and and and

I am making so many mistakes right now and I am just like

there is no end in sight I don't know how to like, pause!! when does this pause!!

A side effect of all of my driving to the vet with Skeeter is that my back is very unhappy. It comes and goes but I could hardly walk around yesterday. Today is better but it still hurts.

Still waiting for my weekend where nothing weird happens, my body feels reasonable, and I’m not super stressed about something.

Aro book review: The Hummingbird Killer by Finn Longman

Loved this! A very strong sequel to The Butterfly Assassin, and this time I was prepared for how full on it was.

In this follow-up, assassin Isabel tries to create some kind of 'normal' life for herself, finding a job and a civilian flatmate, while also getting mixed up with a group of rebels.

While in the first book she was only word of god aroace with some vague hints, here is it is spelled out clearly and discussed (although the words aro and ace aren't actually used). There is also another aroace character and an alloaro character, who both describe their experiences as well. There's also just not really any romance at all.

Strongly recommend!
