it feels strange to process that if I ever live in my family home again, it'll be because my partner and I split up and I would have moved back
and considering the heavy hints being dropped, I highly doubt that will happen

there is a comedy to how differently each of my grandmothers responded to the news of my new job (blanked out my deadname on the text from grannie)
![A text from WhatsApp from my Grannie, reading 'Congratulations [deadname] good luck in your new job next month. Have a good Christmas and keep well. Lots of love Grannie xx'.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:63e6eia2ntwuku4q6gqcd4fy/bafkreici4gnolfrkd5de3giy77qgb4doci6hyy7oonghgi5outqkvbe2ia@jpeg)

I need Doctor Odyssey to run for at least three more seasons, if only because we need more absolutely wild TV out here

I have an entire album on my phone that at this point is my cat's daily diary of the past 2 years. Here is today's photo (after she howled that she needed a cuddle right now this second) 🐈

I love how much musicals make me Feel
(and how much they make me want to write, especially once I latch on to a song and let it flow through me)

never thought that adult life would include sitting at 9am desperately trying to get Stardew Valley concert tickets for myself and my partner for 2026

Also, now I'm using this more regularly, it'll probably be a mix of my personal thoughts, photography (& maybe virtual photography if I can get access to my partner's PS5 for Horizon), and media thoughts! Trying to pull away from the other site now!

Thinking back on #photography experiments last time it was this cold - used a filter over my camera lens to create these rainbow beams, and then adjusted the brightness and colours in post. Taken at my local archaeological park in January 2024.

I haven't been on here in yonks! In exchange, have a photo I took earlier in the year, which is from the roof of a roundhouse at my local archaeological park! I didn't actually know how the scale would turn out with this, but I was happy with it (and did edit it for the colour)

Over a year on, this is now my screensaver for my new laptop and actually makes me smile so much
taking a breather, lost in memories
(I love Horizon Forbidden West so much, and the music in this space is so beautiful ❤️)

the one thing I'm annoyed at myself about though is how many people I told
because now I have to go "I didn't get funding, and I'm deferring a year" and have to pretend like that sentence doesn't make me want to cry even though I know it is the best option long-term for my wellbeing

I'm also kind of scared that by deferring I'll lose my supervisor, who is someone I was unbelievably excited to get to work with and learn from
however, I'll learn to cope with it. and continue to be frustrated at funding options for arts and humanities PhDs. but that's a personal gripe

spent the whole weekend moping over not getting funding, and having to decide on what my best option was
at the very least, I can take the year to save up as much as I can, and try again. I'm fortunate enough to be able to do that, and not just give up the PhD goal entirely due to finances

heartbroken that I'm having to defer my PhD place by a year due to financial reasons
sadly, looking at my options and the advice I've been given, it is the best decision, but it doesn't mean it hurts any less
nor makes me any less frustrated at the lack of arts and humanities funding available

Yknow my 25th birthday would be a lot less stressful if I didn't have a funding application due on it
(Thankfully I finished it last week so I can actually enjoy my birthday today!)

I love it when I have an interview, I'm already stressed, and then the cat fucking screams during it because she's outside and it is cold, did I know that?

The good news is I get paid the same day as my interview, so I can have a nice lunch after and try not to panic about the outcome because I desperately want to do my project and prove to others that I am capable
Plus I'd love to get funding and be able to actually live with my partner, that'd be fab

Why is that I have to be perceived by many people, instead of just being allowed to be a silly little researcher and discuss bisexuality?

Got a PhD chat today and I am BRICKING it as I'm half terrified I'm going to be told to try again another time, or that I need to work harder to improve my proposal and my work

Sometimes I wish I didn't have anxiety, and that I wasn't autistic, because it would make navigating this world so much easier, and I wouldn't need to accommodate for myself so often
But then, I wouldn't be me
