Wish me luck. Tomorrow is when I send the letter to my landlord basically saying "Hey, actually do something helpful about this year long mouse infestation or I'm not paying rent"

soooooo...either something will happen or I'll just get evicted. Either way, I do wanna move somewhere else.

Sorry to bitch about Rocket Money so much recently, but Hulu plays their ads a LOT while I'm trying to watch Dandadan
January 17, 2026 at 1:14 AM
Gun to my head, I don't actually know how many subscriptions I have.

Hulu/Disney+
A few Patreon pledges
Pretty sure some OnlyFans pages
Dropout
Nutaku
Nintendo Switch Online

That...might be it, actually. Outside of normal bills like internet and stuff.

Made it through another 13 day streak without a day off, and with minimal 14 hour work days this time.

Still canโ€™t do basement stuff for a few days because the concrete has to set, but at least I can organize my living room back into place

They FINALLY finished the construction in my basement!

What I was told would be a โ€œ4 or 5 day jobโ€ ended up stretching from late last December to beyond the middle of January!

Which means I basically didnโ€™t have convenient access to my living room for over two weeks ๐Ÿซ

That and I just straight up do not trust Rocket Money. Everything about it seems like a massive scam and their commercials are annoying.
January 16, 2026 at 8:58 PM
I don't need Rocket Money. I'm the type of poor where I actually look at my credit card bill and go "What the hell is this seven dollar charge from!?"

I'm literally incapable of being in a situation where I'm paying hundreds of dollars every month on stuff without noticing it.
January 16, 2026 at 8:57 PM
Thanks, Rocket Money! You having access to all of my personal finance and banking information to let me know that my Doordash account reactivated itself was totally worth it!

(for real though, good for you, I just super don't trust Rocket Money lmao)

"Welcome to the Velvet Room".

I found out that in P5R you can dress Makoto as a Velvet Room attendant, so I just couldn't resist the urge to draw my Queen in this outfit๐Ÿ’•

I think the discussion is more about not using "Does it pass the Bechdel test?" as a sign of quality. Like yes, we can agree it's good when something DOES pass the Bechdel test, but something passing the Bechdel test doesn't mean it's good.
