I know we're all hard up. I will already have to carry a balance for everything I did in June and July thinking my loans would arrive before this. I really don't need my rent on there too.

I didn't want this to happen but here we are
Emptying everything into my bank acct I'm still $300 short on covering rent on August 1. I have no reasonable expectation that my loans will hit my bank account by then. This ask only covers rent + utilities.

Also, as a parting thought:
Remember this when Elon promises there will be plenty of resources on Mars because he's a cool dude, make sure you say he's cool, he's just making sure everybody has access to air -- oh, but yours is capped. You didn't say he was cool.
Free market!

The pharmacy says there will be an inhaler to go get on Monday so it's going to be a very interesting weekend. Thank you to. The people who made it possible for us to go get it. 💙💙💙

This video show the network requests that Twitter is currently making when I attempt to view a tweet. Just gonna go out on a limb here and speculate that maybe the actual problem is Twitter trying to refresh itself 20 times every second, rather than "scraping".
Okay, since I'm going to hit my tweet limit in, like, an hour:
- Instagram: scholarly.hobbit (mostly ballet and New Orleans photos)
- Tumblr: scholarlyhobbit (aesthetics and melting down over fandom shit, it's fun!)
- Bluesky: aivalentin (mostly a placeholder right now)

The moment of discovery!
The Delphi Antinous was found #OnThisDay in 1893 during excavations near the Temple of Apollo. 😍

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, because true to longstanding tabletop tradition the drag queens brought along 3 fundamentally competent human beings and 1 person who simply has no idea where they are, how to play or what's happening

In North Africa, the door is a symbol.
For some, the door reflects the luck & happiness the inhabitants of the building may have. For others, there exist doors of notable beauty which inspire generations.
Here are 24 doors influenced by Islamic art in North Africa…

Supreme Court ruling against the Navajo Nation, student loan forgiveness, LGBT protections, and affirmative action…
It’s almost as if the state resorts to fascism when capitalism is in decay. Who on earth could’ve predicted that?

As Pride Month comes to an end, here’s a reminder that queer authors exist all year. When you buy one of our books, you shove a middle finger in the face of every homophobe, every transphobe, every bigot. Also, our incredibly gay books are always iconic. Be gay, read horror ✨

This guy's worth about $40 million, and took over $300k in PPP loans from the government just a few years back.
He asked the government to waive his loans, and indeed, his future loan payments were canceled.
