12.23.2025 - Christmas! Just (less than) a week away!

So, Christmas is almost here! How are you planning to spend your own Christmas? I hope you're doing well, or at least trying your best to get through things. This year has been seriously demotivating, not only due to global politics taking a turn for the worse (we all know why), but also personally struggling with trying to find part-time work (cause' apparently even the trash-tier employers want "le best workers" for shit like moving boxes to a conveyor belt or cleaning up a spilled drink) and save up for gender-affirming medicine (which is depressingly expensive cause' wow-wee a country that doesn't give a shit about us would not pay for our essential medicines). It's especially been distressing worrying about what will happen next, both due to the tech industry being powerful enough to break society itself and me being part of the Certified Scapegoats(TM) that the bigots will come to target. Still, overall, I feel like I'm handling things okay-ish, with me being able to end this year's Spring and Fall Semesters with passing grades, especially for subjects I love, such as Linux administration and Calculus, and being able to draw much more than last year (where this time, I felt confident enough to perform the smooth shading I wanted all this time), and I hope you are also getting through things, getting the needed help, or not trying to be too hard on yourself during this objectively difficult time.
