Hey friends!
I know a few of you have noticed my absence and have been checking in on me (super appreciated) so I wanted to give a quick life update!
I've fallen silly head-over-heals in love with my fella since we started dating a couple months ago and are ~officially~ in a commited and HEALTHY relationship together. I know a couple of you know (Matan and Dan, looking at you two) but I wanted to make my happiness public knowledge on here.
WHICH MEANS!!! No more spicy snaps or asks or (shouldn't need to be said but WILL be said) unsolicited NSFW pictures/content/posts. You will be blocked.
Work has been INSANITY. My boss is leaving Aug 16th but has taken like....2 to 3 weeks vacation in between now and then 🙃. One of my other colleagues/friends also left so we are basically a 2.5 person office trying to manage a bunch of incoming students for the Fall, high need student cases, orientation, summer testing, and lord knows what else. Still not getting paid enough to actually deal with life and pay my bills but at least I have an office to hide in...?
I am still selling nsfw content for those who are interested in purchasing because of the above situation. I will post an update if things change, pinky promise.
I've been job searching because of the shit show and lack of pay raise so we shall see what happens. If anyone knows of any advising or accessibility advisor/coordinator positions in higher edu in the southern new england area, PLEASE tell me.
Lil Rhody (and most of NE tbh) has been getting SLAMMED with heat wave after heat wave and I absolutely hate it. The heat intolerance from my meds is insane still for me to deal with and it's not been a baja blast on these streets.
Anyway, those are the big life updates! I hope everyone is doing well (or as well as you can be doing despite the horrors) and just know I am still around! For my dearest moots/friends, I am on snap and feel comfy enough to give it to you (if you don't already have it) if you need me!
Big hugs and lots of love ❤️

AHHHHHHH!!!!!! I was finally able to get a Chronic Pain diagnosis!!!!!! I’m so happy!!
(I mean, it sucks that I need it, but now I’ll have access to the treatments I might need!)
As of yesterday evening, i have an official diagnosis, for Chronic Pain Syndrome that my rheumatologist believes to be fibromyalgia, but I don’t have a diagnosis for that yet.

Night!
bsd manga spoilers-
Chuuya internal dialog? Rip
Dude looks bored or contemplating-
Like, he just killed the man who gave him everything and took it all too.... like-
No dazai? Maybe killed by sheep and left to die (or would go to detective agency-)
With dazai, a family... and ya-
Anyways, he's so gonna snap out of it... like- if Aktugawa can/ have some control, there's a chance Chuuyas still in there too. Dazai is just being dramatic. He needs to be dead to succeed, even then, this could be the turning of the tide in September-
Sigma is not dead, close, but man's gonna pull through-
Anyways! I have tons of time for theories and what I think might happen, but I must sleep now. Night to those who it applies too and if your just waking up or have been awake, have a good dayyyyy!

something really cool happened today that i wanted to share:
my nephew is 9 years old, and a stereotypical little boy. he likes dinosaurs, minecraft, and ninjas.
today i walked in on him excitedly watching Nimona with my dad. (minor spoiler warning!)
i had never heard of it, but i sat down and watched some of it, just to see why he was so happy.
he started narrating it, anticipating parts of it, almost as if he’d seen it before. he had.
we didn’t get to finish it, but i watched it on my own, because it looked fun and i wanted to see how it ended.
and i loved it. it was a fun, exciting, fantastical adventure about the importance of acceptance people who are different to us.
and it had a very clear queer subplot.
one that my nephew hadn’t mentioned at all in his explanation of the film. his summary was “it’s about a monster who helps a knight that was framed for killing the queen”.
and honestly yeah, that is what the film was about.
before sharing it with us, he had watched it all, engrossed himself in the story, took it in entirely, and the part he cared about most was whether Nimona got her acceptance. he wasn’t indoctrinated, or confused, or questioning anything about himself.
he didn’t bat an eyelid over a gay love confession. he just enjoyed the film, raved about it, made my 60 year old dad watch the movie about the monster who didn’t fit in.
he’s still the same little boy who’s been asking us how to get a girlfriend.
the only thing a movie centred around queer and queer-coded characters taught my nephew was that those who are different to him are not monsters. that’s it.
and that dragons are really cool.
