Nonbinary, grad student, artist, curious human. Chronically ill but still trying my damndest.

Had a fall tonight and all my weight landed hard on my thumb as I tried to catch myself. The nail has already turned purple, and idk if I slightly broke the bone. Either way, it really hurts. :(

The bright white star Vega of the constellation Lyra the harp, as seen through my scope tonight. Its claim to fame is being the star that the protagonist of the movie Contact goes to visit

Fae: “Tell us your true name.” Me: “…Just my name? No birthdate, no SSN, no fingerprint scan, no address, no mother’s maiden name? Are you sure you’ve even got the right Olivia Waite? There’s like six.” Fae: “What the hell kind of bargains have you been making?” Me: “They call it health insurance.”

I can’t ask my mom for financial help bc she already has been dipping into her retirement fund to help me with rent and medical bills. This week the vet said her horse has a parasite from possum poop, and the medicine she needs is $1200. I’m trying to not add to that stress!

I've volunteered in thrift stores, and it's rife with people giving their trash away under the guise of being charitable. Good rule of thumb is if you wouldn't gift it to a friend or family member, don't donate it.
