remember that exam i was freaking out about months ago
i ended up getting a 84%. which got regraded to a 89%.
the mean was 63%.
i was in the _top ten grades_. and i thought i fucking failed.
don't beat yourself up when you thought you did a bad job. even if you didn't get the grade you wanted, it's rarely as bad as you'll build it up to in your mind. this was a happy case, but it's worked out badly for me other times, and i always imagine way worse than what actually happens.
okay no really gnight awrroooo. <3

Oh, before I forget:
Anybody out there REALLY fluent in Chinese (mostly written) and need a job?
My bosses are hiring. It's basically the same geographical work I do (i.e. really cushy if you're good at lateral thinking), but in Chinese. That and basic web literacy are the main requirements, though knowing a bit about global culture sure doesn't hurt.
Let me know if this interests anybody!
okay... that was unexpectedly grueling. but it's done now! and I'm winding the place down for sleep. goodnight awrrrrooo in advance. <3
oh, heh, I just remembered--while I was at the store I think I got my first attempted green-hair dis, from an older shopper.
them: your hair is very... striking!
me: thank you!
them: did you--intend for it to be that color?
me: oh, yes--although it's faded out a bit, I need to darken the green up some.
them: oh... oookay...
me: thanks! /cheery wave /wanders away
it didn't occur to me until afterwards that they were possibly trying to be rude/disapproving. XD

It's called Subway Buddah. Somebody slips it into a kid's drink, next day he wakes up at a Daoist temple covered in sour milk.

I'm absolutely fucked with bills this month and will be til next semester most likely. I'm swamped with classwork and I can't donate plasma. If anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it. I'm probably going to have a gofundme set up soon by my friends, but I need to get at least my phone, power, and internet bills paid in the meantime so I can try to set something up as far as a steady non-loan source of income. Please RT even if you can't help, I appreciate it a lot.

today I got an email from AOL saying "hey just so you know we're discontinuing AIM in like two weeks"
and while part of me went "Way ahead of you buddy" it is a heck of a thing to think that some of us will be losing user names that are so old that they could vote.

Another day, another data leak discovered... This time 31 million users' personal details including phone number, name, device & network details, SMS number, email addresses, social media profiles & location...
"It raises the question of why a keyboard & emoji app needs to gather the entire data of the user’s phone." 🤔

Friendly reminder that salvation army is transphobic and homophobic and you shouldn't give money to bell ringers. There are plenty of inclusive charities in your area.

I'm not the biggest fan of his defense of "free speech," but my goodness Cornel West has some points to make here: "Fitting in, in a neoliberal world, is to be well adjusted to injustice."

“Resiliency to me is not a natural thing. I do not think that we were born to be resilient. You are forced to be resilient when you are placed in an environment that is unnatural with manmade suffering—where another actor can alleviate this condition that is forcing you to be resilient to it.
I don’t want to be resilient, I think that we should fix the things that are making us be resilient”
