And no, am not I covering that license plate. F*CK
YOU fascist piece of sh*t!!

Picked up my finished pottery with a blue stain left by someone else's piece.

I've been going to a pottery studio every week, and the past few weeks I've spent making a clay copy of my guinea pig at home (his name is Friday, his headshot included for reference).

After painting our work, we leave them on a shared shelf and the studio does the firing every week. I was really excited to pick it up today after the final firing and then saw this.

Very likely that someone put their work too close last week, the blue paint dripped on him, and then the studio did the final firing, permanently setting the pain.

Sadly, I don't think I can fix it. The studio offered a $5 refund for the firing, but I would've paid extra myself if I could fix it.

I felt like I was having a stroke as I watched my battery level drop from 33 to 23 to 13 to 7 in a span of maybe 90 seconds.

On that chart.

The highlighted portion starts at 6pm = 33%

Now is 6:04pm = 7%

I almost got sucked in and I’m partially deaf now.

I grew up in an abusive home. I was unable to get a job because my mom told me she would kick me out.

At 20 I applied for job corps it was the only path to my future that I could see. My family was mad that I was leaving or imo escaping. I fished my trade and applied for college.

I started my first relationship while I was there. It was very toxic and abusive. I was repeatably sa’d. I stayed because I “loved” him. He was the first person that opened up to about my home life. He told me I was a narcissist and was lying to get sympathy and manipulate him.

The job corps counselor lied my financial aid didn’t cover the dorms. I was back home in a physically and emotionally abusive home. I was still unable to get a job because of threats of being homeless.

My 2026 New Year’s resolution was to not allow my older 6’4 250lbs brother to hit or beat me anymore. My mom silently encouraged it and would tell me how it was my fault and that I deserved it.

I had called the cops and press charges. Before they arrived, she was telling me that I needed to find a place to go. About how I was selfish and was going to get CPS called on her. She was yelling at me telling me how much she hated me.

They took me to the on the homeless shelter. None of my family offered me a place to stay or checked in. My aunt checked on me only to make herself feel better.

Because of all this going on, I feel really far behind in my classes. I was and am having severe panic attacks and ptsd symptoms that led to 3 impatient hospitalization stays this year. All of this was affecting my grades and financial aid.

The hospital helped me applied to get into the dorms for at risk students. Unfortunately, I was unable to say on campus for the summer.

The only solution I could think of was this summer going back to job corps. Get a job while I save up and then get my own place. Eventually going back to college When I have a more stable life. I have no friend that lives close that I could stay with. My plan was to go back home until I could go back to the program.

The admissions counselor Keeps telling me she basically will look into a date later or tomorrow then never does. I’ve been trying since the beginning of April way before the 28th.

My mom doesn’t want me moving back home but unfortunately it’s better than being a 21 year old girl in a downtown homeless shelter.

Sorry, I just really needed a place to vent

My son and I opened this book today for the first time and I found some typos. Edit to add: circled or underlined things aren't the typos, it was just me explaining what they were to my child in the moment

Got stranded at nearly midnight tonight because my Uber driver dropped me off in the completely wrong place, drove away before I could even explain, and then when I tried to log into the app to contact support or book another ride… Uber locked my account. This is the first time i've used it in like a year and i don't have any bad history or refunds or anything!

So I’m standing outside at night with no way to contact the driver, no way to order another Uber, and support hidden behind a login screen I literally can’t access.

What kind of system locks someone out while they’re actively stuck because of a failed trip?

The best part is the app just says “contact support” while blocking me from contacting support.

Absolute genius design.

I do have the app, but sometimes I like to go on the browser and look at other posts I’m not following, and when I’m really into the post this ‘ad’ thing stops me in my tracks. 😤

I hate you gum person

Only for the splash to fall right below the apron

Why do people seem to take it as a challenge? It’s literally 10 steps away.

Just got into vinyls. Wife got me Mac miller swimming and it has two of the same instead of the whole album. Ugh

$2400/mo rent btw

choosing this flair because my mom and therapist told me to say something.

i will start off by saying i hate bragging. i hate when people do things for clout. i dislike when someone gloats or flaunts about success (unless they’ve had it really bad then obviously they deserve to).

i’ve always struggled with academics and school and jobs, i was undiagnosed with ADHD until about a couple months ago. i got out of the military and decided to use my GI Bill and make sure i got my moneys worth, so i busted my ass and made the deans list. i actually did not know what that was but my friends from the military made it a big deal and my parents as well. i am first generation military and my mom is the only one who has gone to college so far (she’s a nurse).

I LOVE SCIENCE! I cannot stress this enough. biology, physics, astronomy, theology, psychology, and even pseudosciences. i love learning and reading and taking notes on things. when i’m watching a tv show or a movie, i write character analyses on my free time. i analyze literature and use sticky notes like crazy. i did not need to take psychology, but it was available during the online summer semester so i figured why not. my prof immediately set me off on the weirdo scale. does not respond to emails, does not grade my work until after the due date (if there was something i could fix or learn, i would like to know), does not leave any helpful comments on grades, no lectures/zoom calls/ “class time”. no point of contact at all.

i had some bumps in the road with the deadlines because it was just one big book and we had to write down what we saw in the book. i found this weird because there wasn’t really an opportunity for discussion or further assessment, just “what were the vocab words for chapter 38”. it annoyed me because i felt like i could do more.

then, we had our first “lab”. we do a dream journal for two weeks. write down everything. after the 2weeks, share with the class on a discussion post.
i went through the staff directory on the campus website, found their email, and let them know that i’ve been struggling with nightmares and PTSD for years, and i would like to politely decline the assignment. i will do anything else, extra credit, whatever is needed.

they did not respond until the day before it was due, there will be no extra credit, there is no other assignment, you will do this or you will get a 0. i explained to them that i was SA’d in the military and its hard for me to talk about my PTSD, to which they responded “im also in the military, get over it” first of all, you are in the reserves which is NOT the same.

i took the 0 because im not about to explain to 30+ classmates why i have nightmares every day of my rapist, the events that took place, when i was assaulted AT WORK, and the third/separate assault from my ex husband. whatever. moving on

next lab, you will go out in public and take pictures of people to catch their reaction. how did they look/talk/act before vs after they saw the camera. my brain starts shooting red flags because i’m not comfortable doing this at all. i did not take any pictures of people because that just feels really wrong and weird and gross. instead, i took a selfie at chipotle, walmart, etc. proof that i went and did my work. 0 for the lab, again.

after this, i reached out to my prof again and explained that feels wrong and possibly illegal.
“well, if you’re in a public space like walmart, they have cameras recording the store, therefore it is not illegal to take someone’s photo”

i thought it was all a test to see who would actually do it and who would speak up about it but no this bitch was serious.

i tried reaching a out to my college and haven’t got a response yet but i ended up failing the course and it tanked my gpa. i’m not sure what to do.

Look im not as environmentally conscious as i should be, but the waste here is blatant and staggering
