Today is the fourteenth anniversary of Skyrim's initial release!

Do you still have your original character's save file, or did you finish their story completely at one point?

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

I really need to get out of my current living situation. I've been unemployed and out of education for a year. Every day I live in fear of getting killed by a narcissist and my only option atm is obtaining a German visa (chancenkarte) that will enable me to spend 12 months there looking for work.

A little life update on why I took a hiatus from Talviel's Kitchen. Should I come back? Maybe?

At the moment it's completely devoid of content, but if you're interested in my work please head to substack.com/@slamthropol... as I'll get cracking on some essays and fun stuff once I'm a little healthier!

Sooo I kind of forgot that I have a public anthropology blog about my research on pain, embodiment, and phenomenology. It started as a PhD thing, but since I'm no longer doing that, I'm thinking of bringing this to Substack when I get organised. What do you think? CW FOR🩸! #hooksuspension

I know that this is a joke, but as someone who has a Master's degree and went on to do a PhD, I can promise that you will only graduate feeling even more frustrated, confused, and lost. Well, at least if you're an anthropologist.

I’ve just seen a rabbit rescue say that because Easter is coming up they are already getting enquiries from parents wanting to buy rabbits as Easter presents. When told that they are an 8 plus year commitment and need a lot of space they were hung up on. Absolutely boils my piss

Well, there goes my plan for incorporating my research on pain into my PhD thesis. I was given advice on what this year's intake should be submitting so guess who's writing TWO separate academic projects now. Ffs.
