Developed a sore throat today 😭 if I wake up sick tomorrow I can't wait to call off work LMFAO

My office mate used to do brand photography and wants to get into wedding photography and is wanting to take my engagement photos to build her portfolio 🥳

But this is rlly lonely and sad. Like I feel like my friends have no idea what I've been doing for the past five years and now I'm a different person and they don't understand they have to get to know me again and I have to know them again too

I want to vent about something but I don't want to be an asshole so I'm just gonna vague post. I understand why academics don't try to foster relationships w ppl and orgs outside of academia because the more niche knowledge you obtain the less relatable you are to ppl not in your field

I put the TikTok app away in a folder and I'm trying really hard to stop using it. I'm still scrolling reels on IG when I have a bit of downtime like at lunch but otherwise I'm trying to break the doomscrolling habit!

when something scary happens to ilhan i think about this photo. you’d never know from how brave she is that she isn’t seven feet tall. we’ve all got to have her back, because she isn’t just some character on capitol hill, she’s a real human, with real children, who deserves to be safe in her home.

me and ilhan and i am big and she is tiny

So I guess our basement was flooding since 4am and our downstairs neighbor didn't say shit to us until almost 10pm and we had to tell her to talk to landlord because what the fuck? And she's surprised we couldn't hear it flooding but we live on the 2nd floor like I can't hear dhif

Day 3 of my comps exams and I'm set out to finish drafting the last part today. I should have all day tomorrow and all day Friday to edit which is really good timing. I'm just so exhausted though I went to bed so early last night. Writing for 9 hours straight is not that enjoyable

I'm Elle @bugblxxd.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Feeling blah. On page 3 today so I'm around the same pace as yesterday but omfg I'm tired of writing

I'm Elle @bugblxxd.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

And Fri to edit (which will take me a long ass time)

I finished drafting 1/3 of my exams basically today and now I feel guilty for resting 😭 but I'm so exhausted omfg. I prepped what I'm gonna write for tomorrow already so I can just get right into it in the morning. Then if I can finish 2/3 on Tuesday and 3/3 on Wednesday I'll have all day thurs

Quick exam break, got up and did some stretching. My back tweaked this morning from the stress so I already took 3 ibuprofen and I'm working with a heating bad on my back. So far it's been 2.5 hours and I'm onto the third page (single spaced). Aiming for 8 pages today.

I just wanted to have a nice weekend before my fuck ass exams on Monday and I ended up having to spend $600 today which pmo and then the only activity I was looking forward to wasn't even good

I wanted to like Primetime with Robert Pattinson but I felt like it wasn't focused enough on at least one thing. The movie could have gone more into what it's like to film a tv show or more into working with predator but it was really scattered

So last Tuesday I had a student attempt to aggressively intimidate me and I reported it to my advisor. Today is the next day of classes so we'll see what happens but Im just so over having to deal with entitled young adults

The washing machine that came with this apartment was owned by the last tenet and she essentially sold it to us when we moved in but it's 11 years old and kinda shitty. Well I just went to go switch my laundry to the dryer and it feels like burnt rubber in there 😭 and now my clothes stink. Omfg.

My fucking paycheck from the university was literally $996..... I guess once we won our union contract they university made us regular employees and not contractors anymore so now we pay into Medicare and SSI taxes and that ate up our entire fucking RAISE. so I make less money now. scumbags.

New process for university travel doesn't make any sense at all and if I wanted this long to book the flights and hotel the grant i got wouldn't have covered the entire cost.... So I'm really mad

I m feeling so weird today. All I had was work which was weird and then an advising meeting which was weird and now I've just been laying in bed after my shower. Just relaxing. I guess I feel like I should have done some work but tbh I didn't want to and I'm just kinda waiting on my exams atp..

i am incredibly excited to share our research about how paying people’s rent through mutual aid made an impact on minnesota this year we accidentally collected more data than anyone ever has for an effort like this, and can very seriously say we prevented an eviction bubble that everyone expected
