I've never played PaRappa or Lammy, but I love Milkcan's one album so damn much, Millenium Girl has never failed to cheer me up, even on my worst days.

I redesigned my entire living room and listened to a lot of Courtney Barnett this week. I don't really know what to make of anything, I'm just trying to be better than I was.

Starting singing lessons in a couple of days, so hopefully that goes well.

Yuuuup

The reds where I live come to rallies to recruit people into a very cult like group that constantly demands money from it's members, to sell expensive tickets to meetings and their newspaper, even when we make a point to say no stalls are welcome and to not profit off of our work. They're very icky and I feel very bad for the students they recruit because they get all the flack for being duped.

Looking at it from a quantum field perspective, pretty much. If the only interactions are through gravity then the underlying field's evolution can't be influenced by anything else, I have no real idea what the implications of that would be because we don't have a QFT for gravity.

I'm not growing much, but I've recently gotten unclockable's bra buds and I absolutely love them. Took a bit to find a bra they worked well with, but they make a pretty big difference

If you suck at interviews cheat, or get lucky.

I flunked the interview for the job I wanted, did well in an interview for a different position at the same company, new boss loved me and I have no clue why. She got fired the weekend before I started and I got moved into an even better job than I'd originally wanted.

For my only other interview ever, I got in because I literally just googled answers to the coding test on my phone just out of view of the camera, not that they were watching anyway. I'm glad I did too, that company was an unethical hell hole and it's tragic that it hasn't folded. I left after a couple of months and got abother job with the company from the first paragraph, no interview at all, and significantly better pay (more than double lol).

I seriously have no clue how people get jobs the normal way. I've tried, I've been trying for years and can't get another interview.

Oh wow you just described exactly the same experience as me lol. Maybe it is an enby thing

This feels like the worst week or two I'm ever going to have. I broke up with someone I love so much, after the worst date I've ever had, every decision feels like a mistake and I don't feel in control; I feel insane, like I'm waking up forced to live with decisions someone else made.

I'm pretty sure I've burnt that bridge completely, but the worst pain is knowing I could unblock him and ask to try again. I just keep telling myself there's no point to a fourth try, right after he begged for another chance and refused to do anything more substantial than vaguely promising to not be an ass. Broken promises, weeks of cold loneliness, and now this.

I know it'll get easier, but it's hard to find the will to keep going when something good happened for once, and then collapsed over something so stupid.

Anyway I'm going back on the radio in a couple of days to talk about trans people having bad mental health lol

Not in the US but my perspective on this whole thing is very mixed. Obviously I'm terrified of the rise of fascism and the exterminatory rhetoric that's now so common when trans people are mentioned in politics. I'm terrified for a number of my friends, and I can't help them, I can't keep them safe and I can't get them out.

For now I'm focusing my efforts locally, we've largely been able to keep that sort of thing out of Australia and have had some incredible support outside of the queer community at rallies and a recent counter protest against some terfs. I think we'll be okay, we might even make some progress down here, very exciting and it's keeping me going despite everything else.

I'm not holding up well, but I am still standing. I really hope things turn around in the US and UK soon, my heart goes out to you all. I'd say stay strong, but honestly that's not on you, just stay alive, it's okay to not fight.
