Bitchin' about my uni 

I love when my uni decides to force 2FA on everyone, but does it in such an incoherent and clusterfucky way that I can't sign on to the parking permit website to assign my permit (mind you, digital permit done using an ALPR) to a different car and instead have to create a brand new visitor account and pay $40 to park here for the week I'll have the car

THANKS A FUCKIN' LOT, UTA!

Welp, seems my car's fucked. Had the battery go completely flat while I was in target and had to get a ride home. Hopefully it ain't something too hard to fix. Got mom coming down to go get the battery replaced, then we're gonna go get the alternator checked in the morning.

@DissidentKitty also if you need textbooks you definitely shouldn't pirate them from librarygenesis.net/ because it would be bad for capitalism

If you're in the eastern half of the DFW area, watch out. They're saying the rotation's died down, but stay alert and keep an eye on the weather. Stay safe out there.

Love ya,
Kat 💗

Shit, tornado warnings are scary! Just got out of hiding from the system that just passed over us here in Arlington and Yikes, was that scary, huddled in the tub glued to the local news on my phone, trying to half-assedly keep it charged from my laptop

:thaenkin: you can stick some metal into a lemon to make a battery to power stuff because the lemon juice acts as an acidic electrolyte

blackberry juice is also acidic, although slightly less so than lemon juice

it may therefore be possible to make a blackberry (fruit) powered blackberry (phone)

adhd, ableism 

The flip side of the people who try and take your support away by claiming that ADHD isn’t real are the ADHD ‘advocates’ who say ‘people with ADHD aren’t disabled, it’s all society’s fault! The tasks that people with ADHD struggle with are just bullshit capitalist nonsense!’. Like, I’m aware that capitalist society is bullshit and discriminates against us, but blaming literally everything on society doesn’t help me deal with the pile of unwashed dishes lurking in my room, Brayden

I now want to buy some sort of horn, even if it's a cheap plastic bugle, just so I can post it here.

Ya know, toot my own horn

cw your cis content nobody wants to see that

mh? probably adhd stuff (well, probably nothing. it's almost definitely adhd stuff) 

nothing quite like asking if I turned on the oven; checking and finding out that no, I didn't; debating whether I actually want to use the oven; deciding that yes, I do; turning it on; then, some time later, forgetting whether I turned on the oven and asking if I turned on the oven. oh, how I love my brain /s

So, uh, off that demon shit. Well, not off the demon shit. It was a worthwhile venture in showing not just that we are *not* agender, but also in that we are kind of a demon. But, back to Kat, with a fun pun of a name to boot!

(is it a pun? play on words? silly portmanteau? not really sure)

What is 'a lot of work?'" (cw: late state capitalism) [1/4] 

A burned out friend of mine said, after listing a huge list of accomplishments, "I have no concept of what is 'a lot of work'" - so I thought I'd help explain. :blobowo:

"a lot of work" is what happens when you stop and think about the past 3 years of your life and you realize a lot of them are a blur because you spent so much of them furiously working the problems of multiple conflicting deadlines that a lot of it looks the same.
