old business laptops are great anyways, lots of LEDs, not portable at all unless you like lugging around a brick
I have a soft spot for computers just good enough to run a browser and LibreOffice in debian decently
there's just something appealing about sitting down to read a nice book, or reading a bit on the train
we can be mindful of predators without assuming friendships are bad. we can stop fucking pretending everything in the queer community is about sex, too, while we're at it.
i am really disappointed in some of y'all. the tactics you're using to dehumanize and remove agency from people who happen to be below a ridiculous, arbitrary age cutoff of 18 are the same as those used by bigots to say that minors' identities are invalid.
i am so, so, _so_, disappointed. it's not just here; this sort of outlook is systemic throughout queer communities. stop fucking telling kids to just "stay in their corner and play". this does not feel like the queer community i thought would welcome me when i was younger.
the drama is making me really angry mainly because people are shitting out the /horrible/ take that adults and minors cannot be friends without it being "creepy".
fuck that shit. fuck that shit to Hades and back. this is the kind of shit that ruins our already fucked up community so much more. you're not doing risk reduction here, you're just making shit weird when it's not.
i am friends with my coworkers. i have been working with them since i was 16; they are grad students. that is not a fucking creepy relationship, and honestly fuck you if you assume minors being friends with not-minors is problematic.

money (-), mh (-), asking for help
My mental health has been really bad the past month and I've really burned out from doing commissions, which is my primary source of income.
I haven't been able to do as much as I've needed to so I'm running out of money for bills and food, and I generally need a break from commissions for a couple of weeks after I've finished the ones i've committed to because I really can't do anymore without a break.
