gripes about japanese writing
@lizardsquid Hiragana was a simplified cursive form of Manyougana, it definitely wasn't intentionally designed to have those features.
How, Hangul (the Korean alphabet) was designed very explicitly like this! and it's great! A++ writing system
@squirrel he was my favorite character for what it's worth
and he ended up together with an alien which is pretty nice, I appreciated that part as an alien myself
@squirrel true

@turbodragon try pineapple and red onion and jalapeño slices
@Knives this is called “executive dysfunction” and it is a symptom of depression, which is a chemically treatable disease. If you get her to do anything, get her to make an appointment with her GP to investigate treatment options.
bad feelings
It feels like I don't have any space to hide and cry because too many people are counting on me to be strong and responsible and to do everything. I have to drive everyone everywhere and do all the cooking and the cleaning and laundry and do my job and manage the budget and manage my partner's mental illness and run everything and never ever have a bad day
It's impossible
bad feelings
A lot of things have not been going very well lately. Aside from the recent death of War, which absolutely devastated my roommate, there's the mountain of medical bills and constant doctor visits for my partner, the lost package I sent my good friend, my other partner's living and financial situation, my mostly nonexistent relationship with my other other partner, stress from all the rush jobs at work, and all my other responsibilities…
I can't handle it.
animal death
Creampuff War, one of our rats, passed away this morning.
She was sick, so we gave her some extra attention last night. We gave her a nice warm place to rest with a steamy water cup nearby to add some humidity. We gave her some snacks (but she didn't want to eat anything). We made plans to call the vet in the morning.
She was buried on the Griffy Lake Nature Preserve. She is survived by Pumpkin Pie Pestilence, Red Velvet Famine, Chocolate Chip Cookie Death, and Abaddon Éclair.

@squirrel spaced repetition! go forward if you like but remember to do your reviews too
A friend sped through the whole thing in like a month so it's definitely possible, just pay attention to how much you're actually getting out of the material
@LaserScheme yes good advice
@Xkeeper I miss ragnarok sometimes…

@Tarale I know an artist in Australia who does private commission work! would you like me to get you in touch with them…?
I know how this stuff works in the US but I'm not sure how helpful that knowledge would be, given taxes and stuff…
