Gonna be slowly working on my blog for the next few days. The last week has been emotional. It started with my birbie, Smokie (a 20+ year old cockatiel) not feeling well. He wasn't eating ( I made sure though he was hydrated), he was mouth breathing (which is kinda scary for a birb) and just really sleepy. and he didn't want to stay in his cage. but that was a few days ago and things have been getting better in regards to his health. He is eating and drinking, he is trying to perch again. He is slowly moving around in his cage again. But still sleeping in his favorite spot on the back of the couch. And I have been getting on and off again sleep. I am feeling like I want to write for the first time in about a week.

The results are here, one day late of course (thanks french administration you never disappoint) and I'm accepted. 198th for 598th accepted.

I'm a french teacher.

Goodbye unemployment after the PHD. I'm not a teacher in my speciality but that's all that matters.

Had a dream that i was back at college. Had a discussion with my old advisor. She said she would have wanted me to take over after she leaves, and she was offended that I didn’t take more costume classes my last year.

I wonder if, IRL, she even thinks about me or remembers me at all.

The math just adds up!

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

I get that Charlie's personality is probably inspired by Disney princesses, but i like to think that even her other day-to-day clothes are still some dapper fits that give off more a "Prince Charming" vibe

Barbie movie never said "we need to stop men" it said "we need to stop toxic masculinity" and if that made you feel called out I got some news for you
