I’m dealing with a lot of this for getting into Swedish university. I had to provide proof of finances which is about $1100usd/no for 2.5 years. I’m basically full throttle on applying and I may not hear back before school starts. I have some leeway but I’m lining everything up as if I’m going to get there on time so we’ll see

Pre surgery was 18 most the time with a crushing longingness for being able to do 20 without my dysphoria flopping around every time I moved. Post surgery is 20 most of the time unless I’m extra leaky then it’s 18 or 19 depending on what I grab out of the hamper. Not pictured here but I also have “socks always on” variety of autism so I have socks while sleeping too. If it’s really cold I’ll sometimes switch it up to jammies but I’m more likely to add blankets than clothes

O’Rear used a Mamiya RZ67 medium-format camera on a tripod and Fujifilm’s Velvia color film that saturated green and blue colors.[7][10]: 2:29 [11] He credited the combination and said that if he had shot with 35 mm film, it would not have had an identical result.
Claim is it hasn’t been edited but it did use film that saturates certain colors by default

- Comment on In the United States; is it illegal to use a single serve wrapped slice of Kraft cheese as a postcard? 4 weeks ago:
I’m going to die on this hill: Cheeses like this are real food. Typically real cheese is one of if not the first ingredient. They are made from cheese, milk, and an emulsifying agent. It’s literally cheese sauce with a higher melting point. You can make it yourself it’s really easy, you can use non standard cheeses for it like provolone or Gouda, and the only real difference would be in preservatives

Oh man a couple months ago I had to back off a topic because my therapist was obviously about to cry and just barely holding it together… I’m trans and was talking about my worries with how the US is going. They have trans kids and I think my concerns were hitting close to home for them. It was a difficult session for everyone x.x

- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 5 weeks ago:
Hello it’s me a trans woman. I knew before transition about some of it but never really understood. When I was masc I didn’t realize how much of it was basically hidden in plain sight because of how I learned to socialize. After transitioning though omg it’s everywhere. I’m in Seattle right now where I don’t have to try too hard to pass and still get treated at least base line okay. Even then I still use my masc voice more than my femme voice because people take me more seriously when I do. Like there’s a cultural acceptance of trans people here but if I behave more masc I get the privilege of being “one of the boys” even if I’m visually in full femme mode. It’s all so weird

One of my favorite fan theories is that the world has largely recovered. The US is a bit unhinged though and is basically engaging in a no rules larp. Everyone else stays at a distance because if Americans are killing each other than global recovery can actually continue

It takes time to plan leaving the country. A lot of people like me are leaving we just haven’t gotten there yet because of how long it takes getting everything lined up
Of my entire friend and family group I’m the only one who can afford to leave. Moving is not cheap and I think it’s like 1/3 of Americans are paycheck to paycheck
It’s also more than just financially difficult to move countries. Most places require you to have a valued skill set. Many places deny neurodivergent people. This means a lot of the people who need to leave the most can’t land somewhere even if they could afford to flip their life upside down

I have so many spiders on the lower floor of the place I’m in now I’ve given up on even bringing them outside. I identify what they are to keep track if we have an uptick in dangerous ones. If it a particularly gross one it goes in the garage to war it out with the cellar spiders otherwise I just shoot them under furniture so I don’t have to think about it. Damnit I’m turning into my dad…

I’m a little confused here, I’m not EU/Swedish citizen wouldn’t any of my studies require me to pay? I care about money very little which is part of why I’ve been feeling so soul sucked at my current job. I’ve only been here for money for a bit now and I hate it. In a lot of ways I’d rather just be poor. I was happier when I was working for like 1/5 what I make now but felt excited about what I did
I love games and game making. I’ve been skirting around the industry for over 15 years at this point and haven’t been able to crack in yet. Future Games, or any of the schools I’ve applied to, is an opportunity to be on a visa for nearly the entire trump term and hopefully network enough to land a job after school. So I’m not just paying for education I’m paying for my own safety
The crunch is for real but also the job culture in the US is batshit. My first job out of college I ended up pulling 16 hour days 7 days/week. Everywhere here it is expected you’re going to do more work than you’re paid for or you risk getting fired. Crunch time in Sweden sounds like normal time in the US tbh

I’m hoping to get into a pretty well regarded game dev school in Sweden that is $25k USD for the entire degree. Comparing it with anything similar in the US is mind boggling. Schools here are impossibly expensive

My, admittedly limited, experience with indoor rabbits is kinda. Ours didn’t train well but they would pick a spot in the house and only ever go there. So we’d just put a box in that spot and was good to go. Sometimes we’d have to move the box and I’d say it was 50/50 if they actually followed it or stuck to their spot
