This is bullshit

I thought having super strong urges to go do something interesting every few minutes was normal

@Ganymede

Things are looking up. I have a copy of an experienced attorney's memo in support for another habeas case, and last night I spoke to a partner over the phone and cried aggressively at him. He then complimented me a lot and moved back the in-house deadline from today to Tuesday.

I'm a professional

Avatar The Last Airbender is as good as everyone said it would be.

I feel like a kid again watching it. The part of me that usually is like "ugh kid stuff" is just... quiet. It's really, really good.

Even though I had to find it elsewhere because Netflix has a quality so bad it's unwatchable.

I was told on Monday to have a draft of a federal habeas 2254 claim ready on Thursday so that it could be filed on Friday.

I have never done federal habeas work in my life.

I want to vomit.

If I am going to be able to stay in this profession, I have to learn to tell my bosses (who have also never done federal habeas work in their lives) that what they want is not possible.

@Ganymede

I absolutely would do the same but we probably have a more wrecking ball disposition than is healthy for corporate culture

So y'all know how I kept posting in here like "wow all this is familiar?"

...yeah.

Got my diagnosis today.

Talk about a dishonorable discharge.

@tek said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

My fucking landlord reopened up the Airbnb in the basement as soon as he could. There are two or three new tenants down there every week. This is totally cool and not fucking terrifying in a time of quarantine.

Oh my God.

Is there any way to seal yourself off from the basement, or do they share common rooms?

He was queer back when it was actively dangerous for a celebrity to be. And he did the Magic School Bus theme.

@Ganymede

I track you now. I was presuming you were using the meat industry breakdown as presaging a larger breakdown.

Frankly I'm all for a collapse of the meat market. We should be eating less as it is.

@Ganymede

Innocence Files is also very good.

(I am biased)

@Ganymede

You aren't wrong but this is a bit like telling Sudanese refugees there aren't food shortages. There's enough food on the planet to feed everyone. That's not much consolation to people who can't get any.

Your writeup was really informative, though.

Atheist internet leftists seem to think they're the majority of the movement, which is kind of adorable in that exasperating, "you've never actually done anything outside of Twitter, have you" sort of way.

Leftism in the Global South is inextricable from Christianity, and there are plenty of us in the States who are religious and leftist.

@Auspice

There are false negatives. If the difficulty in breathing keeps up, go to a hospital anyway.

I'm hitting a hormonal low because I've missed my twice weekly dose two days in a row.

I'm exhausted, I'm frightened, and I'm miserable. My therapy is heading in a direction I don't want it to go; I'm incapable of meeting the basic demands of my job; and I'm increasingly paralyzed by my anxiety.

I am so scared, all the time. I just wish I could focus on one thing. Transitioning, or my mental health, or my job.

I want to give up and go on disability.

@Quinn said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

My uncle died of covid this afternoon. Please take this seriously and stay inside and wash your hands and wear masks.

I am so very sorry. Let light perpetual shine upon him.

I'm just waiting and worrying that for some reason I'm wholly unaware of, I'm ineligible.

Also I keep bursting into tears, because depression.

@Aria

Thankfully we're in Spring and I can confidently assert that I am the heart's desire of absolutely nobody

Really hoping the nausea I keep having is just a combination of HRT and intense stress.
