Microblog

(7/12/25) I feel weird when people praise me for doing mentorship or being a prison penpal. they always frame it like I'm doing an act of charity, but I never feel that way? I'm still on the waiting list for a mentee but my penpals are my friends first and foremost, with the primary difference from my other friendships being a power dynamic that I have to be aware of. my history is involves instutionalization as well, I don't do this because I pity anyone.
(7/12/25) not me mixing up "they're" and "there" on the VIPs page,
(7/10/25) sometimes I want someone to study me because my brain does some crazy shit to adapt to problems. I've been unable to do basic addition without counting on my fingers or using a calculator for years and when it got to the point where my task was taking 10x longer than it should've because of it, my brain just fixed it. HUH??
(7/10/25) webkinz is held together with shoelaces and chewing gum I s2g. WHY AREN'T THE ROOMS CENTERED ON THE SCREEN WHY IS IT DIFFERENT EVERY TIME
(7/10/25) also I remembered how to do basic addition in my head so that's cool. turns out my only math disability really was just slow processing speed and my bio mom's torturous methods around making me do homework just convinced me that I was bad at math and couldn't rely on my brain to do it
(7/10/25) welp. I spent probably four hours working an HTML/CSS only slideshow, an hour of which was just doing arithmetic sequences wrong, and when it still looked like shit, I ended up just doing a marquee like I originally thought of. I won't say it was all time wasted though bc I grasped how to make it not break main by messing with the transformX percentages in the keyframe scroll instead of adding max-content to the width of the marquee like substack suggested (?? baffling decision)
(7/8/25) a guy in a home repair vehicle (idk what, I didn't look) asked me my number yesterday and I'm still chewin on it. it was gender affirming I suppose, because there's no way he saw me as the gender I don't want to be seen as by cis people... but now I'm second-guessing whether it was because he thought I was a gay guy or simply trans :/
(7/8/25) turns out I fucken hate keeping a log of how I updated the site so now this is a microblog. enjoy my weird, often contextless musings going forward
