I&#39;ve been hovering over the renew sub option for a week but haven&#39;t pulled the trigger. Why can I justify a dinner and drink catching up with a friend, but not a sub to a game I love dearly? Lol #ffxiv

Idly looking at my finances from the US after encountering more and more folks here whose perspective is &quot;if you&#39;re from the US, you should have the money to emigrate freely.&quot; I was making 33% above min. wage, working 40 hours/wk. My rent equalled 3/4 of my monthly income ๐ I literally would not have survived without a second income - add to that food, insurance, phone/internet/utilities, medical debt payments and credit cards and oof. US still didn&#39;t consider...

@KosmikrosSisters Happy Bahamut Anniversary to you and to every pal from the &#39;Dex! The Frendedex period of ffxiv was one of the best in all my years of playing, and I formed so many friends and memories because of that initial little Bahamut gathering ๐ No matter where everyone is or what they&#39;re up to, I am grateful to have all of you in my orbit, and to be somewhere in yours โจ Hope everyone gets to do something joyful today โค๏ธ Hang in there, everybunny ๐ฅ ๐ ๐

Spending the day kind of depressed - super common among my queer family ofc. There&#39;s a craft circle later this afternoon I was planning on going to, and it&#39;s queer! But I&#39;m really not sure if I have the energy to be friendly today. I was updating my LinkedIn profile (fucking scourge of the earth) earlier and came across my mom&#39;s profile. Had a small existential panic that her # of years at xyz business will just keep wracking up with no acknowledgement that she&a...

Next weekend I get to meet an old man kitty cat who&#39;s gonna need some feeding and visiting while his humans are away. To say I&#39;ve already set my week up to be overwhelming, knowing there is a cat at the end of it as a reward, would not be an exaggeration.

My little bunny brain is overloaded. On the one hand, partner is having a BUNCH of GI tests to make sure their chronic illness is 1. In check and 2. The only one they have Scans so far are promising and bloodwork just came back normal! On the other hand, my dad is super sick and told me he had an asthma attack so bad he almost didn't make it to his inhaler the other day. And I am so far away and so incapable of helping, it scares me. Ugh

Is there anything more insidious than a DID faker in the world of disorder tiktokers? I don't talk about it often because it's not my business, but I have a longtime and very dear friend who I've known from long before diagnosis through the diagnosis process, and well into their treatment years. The misinformation and quirkification of such a serious trauma response makes me sick with fury. Your self-insert pick-me fanfic bullshit has no right to claim a trauma disorder. Go to hell,...

I don&#39;t know what it is that is preventing me from joining the queer gym here. I have friends there, there&#39;s a workout specifically designed for transmasc folks to work in upper body building, and it&#39;s really close by. The price is always a concern, but they have some volunteer options to help reduce the cost. Whyyyy am I so hesitant to join? Is it fear of commitment? Lingering bad memories from gyms? Brain, please enlighten me. ๐ฅฒ

I finally saw Project Hail Mary at the urging of a bestie who was quite confident I&#39;d love it. Aaaaand love it I did. I was hesitant because I so strongly dislike the protagonist of the Martian, and found Weir&#39;s humor off-putting. But I really liked Grace, and overall the film made me feel so many embodied emotions ๐ญ 10/10 will watch again

Living here has made me realize that, with the exception of a three month period in Japan, and a few years in my early days as a first time BA student, I haven't felt safe and happy anywhere my entire adult life. Until here ๐ฅฒ All the more reason to cling to this place as much as I can, and do everything in my power not to be dragged back into the hellscape I'm currently free from. It's not looking great honestly. I've got no income. Too many uncertainties. But going back is my...

If any artists with webshops have advice in setting one up, please message me, or reply here ๐ I am overwhelmed with options, many of which I know I won&#39;t like, like fukkin Wix or WordPress.

Not a great feeling to reach out to a former classmate about a mutual classmate&#39;s passing, but I&#39;d like to know if I was no longer studying but one of my former people passed. No one really knows what to do in this situation, so we&#39;re all just trying to spread the word and communicate that there is a student-lead commemoration coming up. It&#39;ll be my first time attending a memorial service in the Netherlands. And the first once period since my mom&#39;s

Bestie&#39;s boss is an AI jackoff and is now suggesting that they should train the AI bot he wants to implement. Bestie is the online customer service rep. Their boss is suggesting they train their replacement.

Whoops I&#39;m in one of those states where a lot of things need to happen very soon, and although none of them require particularly difficult next steps, I am frozen in inaction because of how many there are to do. C&#39;mon, brain. We can do this ๐ฉ ๐ค

Doing this again ๐ฅฒ Of all the components, ofc it was the most expensive one damaged. Jury is still out on the motherboard, which was somehow so violently jostled, all of its screws literally snapped, leaving it floating in the case, held in place by its cables. It boots without the GPU attached, though, so I&#39;m hopeful the mobo is ok, just bruised and rattled. #mutualAid https://ko-fi.com/i/IB0B11WEW7J

All set to give my final presentation in my sign class tomorrow, teaching everyone about Japanese tea farms. I&#39;m bringing three teas for everyone to try, too. Feels very self indulgent to get to talk about one of my happiest periods of life in perhaps my very favorite class in a language I love learning ๐ญ
