It's 11am, I was up to 4 with Helix and up again at 8:30... I blink and it's 11... So much to do and I want to do none of it.
I hate asking for help so much. I just want a job... Please help, here or ko-fi. If you know anyone that needs online nerdpower, let me know.

After the headaches of the account problems, I have properly started the Go Fund Me, as suggested;
Other methods (cashapp/venmo/ko-fi) are faster, because they drop to a debit card I have in my wallet, but some people belive GFM is the better method. So I am starting this.

Helix passed away in his sleep overnight, curled up against me. He wasn't alone but loved to the end, he slipped away knowing he was treasured. Our supermodel gorgeous boy.

Keeping myself busy by learning "Scribus" so I can do the page formatting/layouts for the book.
Keeping busy so I don't think too hard about the world outside the edges of this monitor.
Ignoring all the news feeds. I shouldn't "doomscroll"

Anyone who thinks Elon's idea of "just let the AI create binary files directly" is a good idea, raise your hand. I've decades of experience in programming the list of why this is a BAD idea is -lengthy- and we need to make sure anyone who thinks it is a good idea is individually tutored.

Got him a 6:15 appt tonight. Anyone who can toss $ to help, please do

He's not his usual self. The minimum the vet will charge will be $100 and I have $3.84 in my accounts. I do not know if the little guy is checking out, or just feeling sick. And I really want the universe to cut me a break.

This morning one of my best friends' cats is sick.
Can the universe FUCKING CHILL FOR A FEW DAYS, PLEASE!?
This little guy is doing poorly, if you can throw anything at an upcoming vet bill, it will help.
Thank you, i'm sorry to ask.

I wonder if I state that my app uses AI in the background to quietly monitor for threats against users, I'd get donors lining up to support me.
I mean, there's no AI there. And I can just state "Yeah, we're constantly training it." when people say "it didn't flag me."

There needs to be a lot MORE fear-of-getting-fired in congress. We need to implement massive changes. Get rid of first-past-the-post. get rid of The Electoral College. There should be one House member per 500,000 voting people. If you only get 186,000 votes in your state, you only get ONE.

Just got a rejection letter that was basically:
"You didn't get the role for our client, you would have had a better chance had you signed up for our $49/month job profile service."
So it wasn't a job, but fishing for job seekers to spam them.
I hate this timeline.
