essentials: she/her, person of color, in university on my 2nd degree (suffering) ♡
mainly post stuff about my life! i try to keep my profile a happy, comfy & safe place. i also really like existing peacefully, so if you’re here to say things that will hurt people’s feelings or cause arguments, this is not the place for you :)
interests:
detroit: become human, skyrim: the elder scrolls v, minecraft, SCP, one direction, louis tomlinson, drawing, writing, donating blood, everything everywhere all at once, resident evil 2 & 4, valorant
tell me i’m not the only one who still collects those little prizes you get from the dentist for behaving well as a kid
hypoallergenic dogs and cats are the best… i hugged a dog and had it sit in my lap for the first time in my life last week and it was life-changing 
so signing up for an early morning seminar and forcing myself to attend is actually improving my sleep schedule? cannot remember the last time before this that i slept before 5am
howdy! just wanted to update a little on what’s been happening.
basically i’m still recovering from what i’m pretty sure was depression & another more harmful brain state :v other unfortunate stuff happened, but my irls are really helping me battle it out.
i am now moderately better and have been trying to keep up with hobbies like video games, going out with friends, and D&D
rest be assured i will stay in the mortal coil for the forseeable future!“back” wouldn’t be a 100% correct term but you will hopefully hear from me at least semi-frequently :] hope all of you are alright, please update me on what you’ve been up to if you’d like
taking a hopefully short indefinite wasteof break; might also be less active on discord depending on school stuff. take care
from a quick glance around the lecture hall during class:
1 person is playing chess
i see at least 2 people doing computer science homework
surprisingly only 1 person shopping - i expected more
at least 5 people randomly scrolling through the lecture slides
1 person who is asleep
1 person with a black computer screen staring into space
more people than usual are on task today! but clearly i am not :P
love dressing up for class! i’m suffering; might as well suffer in style 
attended my first rally ever! we are boycotting starbucks for a variety of reasons, local stores on top 
if you know me well you likely already know my stance. destroying cultural & academic institutions, knowingly targeting civilians, esp children, and using outlawed chemical weapons is incredibly wrong and also a blatant war crime :/
if anyone is interested in a basic boycott list (with alternatives) feel free to ask! donating to the UNRWA (https://donate.unrwa.org/gaza/~my-donation) or even just sharing & boosting the voices of Palestians on social media & bringing awareness to your local/government leadership are also great ways to help out.
take care & glad y’all are also part of the global community
just wanted to remind the people here that children (and all the other kinds of people who deserve to live) are still being bombed and starved in Gaza
I know that this is mostly a site about things like programming or art or other generally casual topics, but I do feel like this isn’t being talked about enough on here, I haven’t seen anything about it in my feed for weeks, if not over a month
Please at least think and/or talk about this crisis, thank you
