Pokemon sleep distracted me

And then Tumblr distracted me

And I almost stayed up late

😩🙏

Blessed moon above let our school close

I don't want to work with the assistant I was assigned to this week

She is too passive

Anyhoes

Night 🌉

Just cause Imma fight for a higher raise tomorrow 😤

When I got my new salary back in September

It was 2× minimal wage (first time in five years 🥳)

But now my wage hasn't changed but minimum wage increased so much that now I only make 2k more then minimal wage.

Imma try to ask for 3× what I'm making now.

But my boss is cheap and greedy.

Never buys the school supplies we need and ask for ( each kid gave 5k last year, this year 15k for school supplies)

Adds flour to eggs so she doesn't have to order as much ( eggs look thick and disgusting)

Charges parents 800 per kid to watch a play which is only 100 ticket price.

Just bought a new 2024 bmw

Is sending son overseas to study

Spent 2 months in America ( dollar is like 32× our currency) and came back with 24 suitcases of things.

And

Im

Tired

Of working for basically nothing.

One week we spend almost 3k on groceries and I have to work 11 extra hours a week tutoring so that we aren't in debt.

#things moons said #moons is messed up still #moons is not having fun #moons feels like crying #good night #ended up ranting #moons ranted #more money less problems #Spotify

you have $100. due to a squid games type escapade, you are currently trapped in Whole Foods and can't leave or someone will take you out with a bullet to the brain. you have to buy all the food you eat. you can't shoplift it or steal it from the other competitors. a carton of 12 organic eggs costs $10.

your friend Greg has $100. due to a competing squid games franchise, he is trapped in a Costco. he can't leave, or they'll set the dogs on him. he still has to buy all the food he eats. he can buy 36 eggs for $7

which one of you will starve first? are you or Greg functionally "wealthier" within your respective squid game?

#some of the people on this website are so fucking stupid it is unbelievable #sorry to be like “you dont pay rent or have a job” but they obviously do not pay rent or have a job #maybe if i say it in television they will be able to understand #“if you live somewhere things cost more #you functionally have less money“ is so basic an idea i dont know how to dumb it down further for you #i really dont #this is like flunking out of basic story problems-level math you fucking morons #if you live in hawaii $10 is functionally $6 at the grocery store #in alaska its about $4 #whats not clicking #wow what a great blocklist honeypot this post is!!!

I am so unbelievably pissed off. FUCK HOAs

Oh, my trash/recycling bin can't be visible except on pickup day? Ok whatever fine I hate you but I can deal with this

Weekly inspections?????? FU FU FU FU FU

SECOND NOTICE ALSO WE'RE CHARGING YOU MONEY TO SEND YOU CERTIFIED MAIL OF THIS TOTALLY LEGIT TOTALLY SECOND NOTICE OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY A VIOLATION cue me: checks notes. Hmm. My recycling bin was. on the curb. on recycling pickup day. You know. The day it has to be out. The day it is motherfucking ALLOWED TO BE FUCKING OUT AND VISIBLE.

so. 1) not a violation

I have sent them the trash AND recycling pickup schedules, which are DIFFERENT, btw

I have disputed the fact of the violation

I have disputed the linking of this "violation" to a previous violation MONTHS AGO--their "first notice" in this case was a "Courtesy Notice" LITERALLY 5 MONTHS AGO and they've done so many inspections since then and my bin CLEARLY WASN'T OUT IN THOSE INTERVENING MONTHS so WTMFH

So I am posting like a crazy person here instead of sending the absolutely deranged email I almost sent (I did send a slightly less deranged version with the disputes, and requesting a hearing)

OMG. It has been. Less than one hour since I learned this fun fun news. My bin was out YESTERDAY, y'all. YESTERDAY. I am going to blow a gasket

#it's a relatively privileged problem to have (omg i have a home truly i am grateful) but it's still a goddamned problem and i'm allowed #to fucking complain about it #in case it needs to be said #*rolling my eyes*#i advocate for free/actually affordable housing for everyone who needs it because we ALL deserve a safe secure stable home #whatever type of home that may be #it is absolutely goddamned ridiculous that megacorps can buy all the housing #rent it out at extortionate rates and evict people willy nilly #and we're talking about a “housing crisis” and not a “STOP LETTING CORPORATIONS AND BILLIONAIRES HOARD ALL THE HOUSING” crisis #goddamn.#ha elect me president (ahaha don't do this i am not a good public speaker) and I'll push congress to pass some really neat legislation #hey be more direct: elect me to congress (ahaha don't do this) and i'll WRITE some goddamn nifty legislation and yell about it as long and #as loud as i can until people start to just fucking say yes to make me shut the fuck up #(i know that's not how it works. again. don't actually elect me to a government position)#exemplia gratis:#No individual person shall own more than 6 homes UNLESS they pay a Housing Market Shrinkage Fee for removing viable housing from the market #why 6 and not 2? 2 is a lot! it's excessive! but having A vacation home shouldn't be a crime. Having 5 vacation homes is ridiculous and #awful and whatever but it's not likely to be the source of all our greatest “housing shortage” problems. no. I'm aiming for the absolutely #monstrously greedy and egregious motherfuckers who---ok #hang on. how many homes does the average min and max homeowner own? I would like to see data on that. but anyway #the next part of the legislation:#Homes owned >6 shall be charged X% Housing Market Shrinkage Fee UNLESS they are rented for affordable (15% or less than renter net income)#housing and are actively occupied by said renters. Rented out and charging more than 15% of renter's net? still gotta pay up.#EMPTY housing >6 shall be subject to an additional Y% Housing Market Shrinkage Fee (tax? should I call it a tax?) which increases with ever #month that the housing goes unoccupied. no one living in it? sell it rent it or pay the fuck up. and still pay the fuck up if you rent it #for way too goddamn much money #but like. less. we only REALLY hate you if you sit on empty houses that you don't even let anyone use #ok that's individuals. now onto BUSINESSES #ok so immediately it gets a little complicated cuz like presumably there's rental management businesses that don't own the rental propertie #that they manage BUT there are also companies that just outright own a shitfuckton of housing and THIS is the truly egregious monstrous sid

my emotional state has improved immensely since embracing my inner desire to be a cringe fangirl

#free from the chains of the societal pressure to conform #i am the same person i was at 13 just with more money problems and less free time

the amount of effort that goes into figuring out what to cook and eat every day is RIDICULOUS. i used to think people were so weird and boring for eating the same thing every single day but it truly does make life so much easier

#and also it's nice to know exactly what your food is going to taste like before you eat it #like when i get unfamiliar takeout. half the time i'm like. oh.#i'm going to have to eat all of this. or be judged.#so i just do my best to suppress my gag reflex and Get Through It and then it makes me sick so what was even the point #i think my parents spoiled me. and the most annoying thing is they're significantly better at cooking now than when i was a child #so when i go over i eat three delicious home cooked meals + snacks and they're all different and amazingggg #and then i come back to texas and i am like. googling 'how to feed myself healthy vegetarian'#because I do NOT have the time or money or energy to cook three beautiful delicious meals Just For Me #i think this would be easier with a partner #this whole week i bought a fuckton of mediterranean groceries and i have been making and eating food!!#mediterranean is close enough to indian that i like it well enough #unfortunately for me. i am def going to have to learn how to cook indian food to get through life. because i cannot fucking eat american #i don't know HOW you guys do it i'm so spoiled #i'm assuming meat is this really amazing wonderful thing that just adds flavor to everything #(it is physically repulsive to me and the couple times ive accidentally tasted it it's bleh so i refuse to partake)#i think it's an acquired taste but it magically makes ur food better. that is my understanding of how meat works #cause american vegetarian food is the saddest fucking thing i've ever tasted #i still think about my coworker i was talking to about my food issues and he was like. 'do u understand that you have been given a gift #by having constant access to tasty food your entire life. i ate unseasoned green beans every day of my childhood. learn how to fucking cook #indian food already.' truly a horrific thing to hear. but i'm calling my parents more and going HOW TO COOK VEGETABLE? BEAN? PLEASE HELP??#and by god i am not going to turn into my coworker.#anyways we start with baby steps. lentils and rice it is next week .-. going to the indian store to buy pickles to make it more tolerable #and i have my cabinet full of spices already at least #i wish i was less pickyyy #sometimes lalita cooks indian food for me and i'm like wow. i love and appreciate u for feeding me. but this sure is south indian food #i don't understand How they use spices. it feels like they toss as much of as many bottles as they can into every dish #and it's. the taste is just OW OW OW and nothing else. where's the nuance. the flavor.#and i like it when things are spicy!! i can even eat things where the flavor is just Hot. but not when she cooks it.#she will like watch my face when i take a bite and then go 'if you don't like it i'm throwing away all my pots and running away'#which. honestly a fair reaction. the problem is that i am incapable of lying

I'm not an extrovert. At all. In everyday life, I'm a yapper, sure, but I need someone to first assure me I am okay to yap, so I don't start conversations, even when I really want to join in sometimes! It's just the social anxiety acting up. God knows where from and why I lose a lot of my inhibitions when it comes to talking to people about music. I don't know where the confidence has suddenly sprung from. I've made a crazy amount of friends in musical circles, either just talking to people about common music or (since it is after all in music circles) talking to bands about their own music. I let out a sigh of relief any time an interaction goes well, because in truth it's going against my every instinct. I wish I could do that in everyday life

#like that's the point where we need to remind everyone around me that as much as I say #radio is 'a job'-- it's not 'my job' lol. I wish I was this interested in data science #but like. Honestly?? I'm not even a data scientist!? I answered a few questions about classical AI having come from a computer science back #background and now people are saying to me 'I know you're a data scientist and not a programmer' sir I am a computer scientist #what are you on about #and like I guess I get to google things and they're paying me so I'm not complaining but like I am not a data scientist #my biggest data scientist moment was when I asked 'do things in data science ever make sense???' and a bunch of data scientists went #'no :) Welcome to the club' ???????#why did I do a whole ass computer science degree then. Does anyone at all even want that anymore. Has everything in the realm of #computer science just been Solved. What of all the problems I learned and researched about. Which were cool. Are they just dead #Ugh the worst thing the AI hype has done rn is it has genuinely required everyone to pretend they're a data scientist #even MORE than before. I hate this #anyway; I wish I didn't hate it and I was curious and talked to many people in the field #like it's tragicomedy when every person I meet in music is like 'you've got to pursue this man you're a great interviewer blah blah blah'#and like I appreciate that this is coming from people who themselves have/are taking a chance on life #but. I kinda feel like my career does not exist anymore realistically so unless 1) commercial radio gets less shitty FAST #2) media companies that are laying off 50% of their staff miraculously stop or 3) Tom Power is suddenly feeling generous and wants #a completely unknown idiot to step into the biggest fucking culture show in the country (that I am in no way qualified for)#yeah there's very very little else. There's nothing else lol #Our country does not hype. They don't really care for who you are. f you make a decent connection with them musically they will come to you #Canada does not make heroes out of its talent. They will not be putting money into any of that. Greenlight in your dreams.#this is something I've been told (and seen) multiple times. We'll see it next week-- there are Olympic medallists returning to uni next wee #no one cares: the phrase is 'America makes celebrities out of their sportspeople'; we do not. Replace sportspeople with any public professi #Canada does not care for press about their musicians. The only reason NME sold here was because Anglophilia not because of music journalism #anyway; personal

idk man i kinda feel like if you think reading my fic was a waste of your time, maybe you could save yourself some of that time by just hitting the back button instead of writing a comment to complain about it?

#i'm sorry that my fic didn't have enough romance for you and usually i understand people who feel that way #but if romance/sex was all you wanted to read about i feel like... maybe you should have hit the back button sooner?#like this. this clearly isn't as much a shipping fic as most others in the fandom and i feel like that's obvious from early on.#being a little disappointed because there was less than you'd hoped to find at the end? that i understand.#thinking that it was a complete waste of your time because it wasn't about the romance?#and wasting extra time to complain about it?#my dude (gender neutral) maybe that's a you problem #idk why you'd read 47k words of a fic if not seeing them kiss at the end is all it takes to make it a waste of your time #like jfc dude this is a huge ship in a huge fandom it's not like you have to settle for crumbs here #if you want a heavy-romance shipping fic there are just. so so so many. to choose from. you have so many great options!#don't ''waste your time'' with one that's telegraphed pretty hard pretty early as not being heavy on the romance #sorry i think the a-spec within me got more rankled than the author within me #this is like the person at the table who eats the whole meal then complains to management that it sucked and they want their money back

#meg talks #tmi gross medical stuff ig #oh but also #emeto warning #menstruation warning #tried to put on my hip brace and the compression or the way i moved made me spasm so bad i puked #i can’t keep fucking doing this man im nearly out of leave time #and im so physically exhausted it’s a struggle to stay awake even after like 10 hours of sleep #and my period has been going for like a fucking month straight #what is going ON #‘’you have long covid’’ ‘’you need to see a gyno’’ ‘’you need steroid shots’’ ‘’you need physical therapy’’ ‘’you need a wfh job’’#‘’you need a ground floor apartment’’ ‘’you need to eat better’’ ‘’you need new meds’’#‘’you need to take more regular vacations to rest’’ ‘’you need to stress less’’#well where the FUCK do i get the money for any of these things #like what am i supposed to do abt any of these problems without money. or a college degree ig but that comes back to money #i just want a wfh job where i can be part of a union… or even union staff… i don’t want to give up the fight…#sigh.

My humble contribution to the trending of Spatort with, as usual, some Google Translate shenanigans.

#tatort saarbrücken #spatort #der fluch des geldes #no i don't edit subs i just use the raw translation because it's faster #also look at that #it adds flavor lol #this episode was good for the main characters content #but a lot less good for the rest than the previous ones #too much time spent with the secondary characters with no real interest in them #the fact that the red thread with the schürk storyline was actually over with this episode #it's weird #everything that happened before is like behind them except for the money #the money should have been a bigger problem than that #and more people should have been looking for it still #also adam #keeping the money in your trunk? really??

Im at a point in life where im emotionally dependant on a very specific pastry and now im reasoning with myself that i am ok with waking up tomorrow if i go buy myself one. The "save me *thing* save me" meme is not a joke to me it's very real. Save me cheese spiral from the supermarket near school save me

#i tried drawing. um. worst experience of my life. literally have less than zero progress as in i ended up deleting everything i made tonight #and giving up on the sketches from class too #fuuuck who knew that if u dont draw for months you lose the skill. whatever #I CANT EVEN BUY THE PASTRY ACTUALLY I NEED TO PAY MY TUITION WITH MONEY THATS NOT IN MY ACCOUNT...#i need 400 euros more and a pastry is like less than 2 tho. its not making a difference #everything will work out tho nothing is as big of a problem as it seems. i just need to sleep

when I am queen-empress of the world my third act will be making sandwiches at catered lunches illegal.

(my first act will be outlawing back zippers and my second act will be fixing hotel showers.)

#I can't eat sandwiches #it is my absolute least convenient food aversion and because it's an aversion none of the usual options (gluten-free veg etc) work #if there's not a salad option I usually have to end up with some kind of veggie hummus wrap situation #which is MODERATELY more accessible to me but usually not by much since I end up with most of the same problems #I have three big food aversions and the sandwich one is the absolute least convenient because it's most out of my control #(the other two are also extremely inconvenient but they're less likely to be the only option in a situation outside my control)#also I hate eating with my hands in a professional setting jeez #yeah in case you were wondering I have a professional lunch this week #and there is no salad option #so it's the veggie hummus wrap situation #(I can actually eat sandwich-LIKE foods like burgers and many kinds of wraps and even po'boys and some subs but I can't eat sandwiches)#(especially the kind that are at catered lunches. can you just. shell out more money for pasta or something. please.)#there are three foods you will never see my characters eat: sandwiches eggs and cheese #because those are the three I don't eat #(I'll bake with eggs and I'll eat cheese on pizza or pasta but that's it)#(right NOW the egg thing is convenient. I always have some for baking but that's it.)#your girl

SIMPLE COMMISSIONS OPEN

Ok, i cant find any other job nor other way to make some money rn. I still have to pay 450 for credit card, that we used to buy groceries, 450 for electricity and at least mom's phone. Ideally, 700 that we owe for the apartment payments, but we can keep pretending it doesnt matter as much.

So, opening sketch and whump comms bc i cant bring myself to do more than that rn. I can barely bring myself to draw at all. I could even toss some notion of nsfw for an extra 10 bucks.

Prices, how-to's and more info >>here<<

Im relatively desperate, bc even tho i managed to pay the internet bill, it doesnt matter if electricity is cut down, specially as we're having heat waves of about 40C for the last week with no end in sight.

(I listed the amount i need in brazilian real, so it would be around 250usd. 400usd if we count the apartment things that im ignoring.)

#emergency commissions #commissions #help an artist #thankfully my aunt decided to buy us some groceries but it wont last much #paid a few bills with money my friends gave me as a christmas present but im still very embarassed by the need #even more so that i didnt manage to make it last more than a month #also my dad being home is becoming a problem #me and mom are trying to eat less so we can keep having food for longer #and he spends the whole day eating everything he sees #its been hard and i dont want to ask for help but i dont know what else to do #no one else will help bc we have a capable man at the house and why cant he go back to the job HE ACTUALLY HAS to keep us afloat #but he doesnt want to so now i have to take care of the bills myself #doesnt matter that i was fired bc the computer can do the same work i did #im very tired and trying to not spiral into depression yet again

my professor scanned a reading from the new edition of the norton anthology textbook (that's not available for those of us using older editions) and uploaded it to blackboard upside down. lol

#btw if you're ever asked to get a norton anthology for an english class. get an older edition #it's probably got the majority of the same readings and you can buy it for pennies secondhand #in some cases there are a few poems that my professor assigned that were taken out of the newer edition #specifically th'assyrians king in peace with foul desire by henry howard earl of surrey #the new authors theyve added (rightfully) in new editions are unfortunately less likely to be included in your course syllabus #odds are that even if the norton publishing company wants to be more inclusive. your undergrad professor doesnt #they just wanna teach the same course #plus i really like the 2012 edition of the sixteenth to the early seventeenth century norton anthology #i cant stress enough that even if norton is improving theyve always been good. like damn good #norton is not a publisher i have major problems with like penguin #norton is in it to be a real one. but u dont have to spend lots of money on them is what im saying #tales from diana

coming back home to canada after vacation is so disappointing lol.

#even tho it was cold and rainy the last few days in Dublin it was so nice to be in another country and culture #I mean I always have rose-tinted glasses on whenever I leave North America cause it always feel refreshing #and Ireland is going through a housing crisis too and the cost of living is extremely high #but i truly believe being in Europe is so much better than being here #the quality of the food is so high. all our meals were incredible and fresh #people prioritize social time whether it’s being at the pub or just taking advantage of being outside #you don’t live to work but work to live #I would rather make less money and have more vacation time and work/life balance than be grinding all the time and working for the weekend #and you are already in Europe #you can hop on a flight and be in another country in less than an hour #versus it takes an hour to fly within our province cause the land is so big #idk #I so often think about what it would be like to move out of Canada and how I could do it #but I know it’s no easy feat and it’s hard to be away from family and friends #no country is without its problems #but I feel like if i was around more greenery I’d have less problems !!!

my inability to play mobile games nowadays is also a source of suffering as a person who loves rhythm games. i miss her (SIF1).....

#but 1) she is shut down <3 and 2) even if she was still up i probably would barely play because the game was getting.... messy #i loved the old UI but they kept like. adding shit. too many little red exclamation marks #but it was one of the comfiest feeling rhythm game mechanics i ever played #i need to find a rhythm game that really feels good is my problem. high key i actually do not like most of the project diva style gameplay #TOO MANY button inputs that are hard to read im too learning disabled for that #i did love project mirai tho. and i liked project diva X because the progression was less skill focused and more perseverance #i really dont like post ps4 pd i do NOT like those multi button inputs where you have to do like #r1 + square + circle + whatever and it like changes every time. girl i cant READ #i much prefer rhythm games where the inputs are simple and dont require as much thinking or reading #and its more focused on just how good can u hit those simple inputs #i really loved beat saber when i played it at a vr arcade once. but i do not have the space or money for vr rn LOL #i also have really enjoyed taiko. someday i'd like to try a peripheral. one time i played it on the dk bongo gamecube controller #to see what it felt like. it felt bad <3 but it was fun <3 <3 <3 <3 #osu i havent really liked. although i do enjoy elite beat agents and oeundan. i think its the physically small screen of the ds #sometimes its fun to boot up melodys escape or audiosurf too. but id really like to try other games #when i did play mobage i was partial to stuff like sb69's three track system and llsif's 9 spot system #but i didnt like the way deemo felt.... the size of the visual hit boxes were TOO SMALL it always felt weird #flick notes sucked whenever i played a mobage tho. i have SWEATY FINGERS dont to this me #swipe notes are fine its just flick. also i dont like how hard they are to read similar to a lot of console games <3
