Ok, seems like it’s gonna be a two-nap day

I already paid my rent and the tax payment I missed, so surely that’s enough responsibility for one day

I do not have a job right now. I am supported by my spouse and this Patreon. This money goes towards my therapy, psych nurse, and medications for my bipolar. I am expensive to keep alive, please help me.

I think I forgot to make my September tax payment

Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.

Hey everyone. Things have been tough around here and they are about to get worse. I’ll probably need to make a bigger ask soon, but right now I’m asking for some help covering essentials. Next post has what I’m trying to cover. PP: @StellaSacco CA: $sacc No Venmo

I really just want like… 3/4th of the economy prosecuted for fraud. Is that really so much to ask?

Their books are so gooooood! Buy them as a birthday present or just buy them because they’re great

Today is my birthday! Please buy my books, I'm so broke

GOAT OR BIRD????

Excellent thread! There *are* rewards for being A Good Guy Who Speaks Up even if they are not immediately obvious or publicly bestowed. First, integrity is its own reward. Maybe you didn’t save the world or change hearts & minds. But if you held the line on not making it worse, that’s something.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Hm. If I’ve only had coffee and I’m vibrating with anxiety, perhaps I should try eating food about it. (Wow, so self-aware, what great selfcare skills, someone please tell my therapist to give me a good grade in therapy)

NEW. PENGUIN.

You're dooming. New penguin just dropped and you're dooming.

Update: it seems like I still have to go to work and cook my own food

Laura Gillian 🩷💜💙@lgbookworm.bsky.social · 6d ago

I don’t want to do anything or go to work or cook food or do chores, I just want to lie around and read my little books and maybe have delicious snacks magically appear before me

Some personal news

I woke up with a headache today, which should be illegal

She explained that she didn’t have more appts with me in her calendar so she just didn’t remember to check back in, which I understand but also very much think is a problem with her systems that needs to be fixed

I saw my therapist today and we talked about my feelings that therapy has been an unreliable source of support. She cancelled my last session last-minute for a migraine—totally reasonable—but then she forgot about me, which feels bad

Amazing. Also--you never know what will make an impact, no matter how small it seems.

this is fantastic and I learned something new

I did all this and even took out the trash, which is extremely unlike me

Today’s goals are: - show up at work (2/3 so far ✅) - go to the gym - prep the groceries I got yesterday Stretch goals include sweeping the floor and working on one of my many WIPs

- Made it to the gym - swept the floor - reconciled checks As long as I don’t miss my 6pm job I’ll be winning at today

I thought my therapist ghosted me but she just sent an email with an appointment. So now my issue is, how to work through my feelings of being unsupported with a clinician I don’t really trust to support me

This is why I think it's so important to push back against the personification of LLMs. If a person shoots someone while wearing a hand puppet, they can't claim the hand puppet did the murder.

Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com · 2w ago

Referring to the harm as being caused by LLMs, when it is caused by people, actually serves to exonerate the people as if they did not make explicit decisions.

I’m in the process of rebuilding my aerial training routine after cancer treatment and it’s going ok (objectively) but I’m sure having a lot of feelings about it
