  • My mother’s internal review went through and she not only is going back on disability, but because the decision to kick her off was a wrong decision, they’re giving her almost a year’s worth of backpay.

    Things this means:

    • We can actually move to a place without a landlord and her son living in it, giving us tenant rights and the ability to communicate with a landlord without worrying we’re going to get evicted
    • We can even afford movers
    • We might not have to go to a food bank anymore
    • We can now budget things instead of being like “okay that goes to rent, that goes to debt, and anything leftover is groceries”
    • I don’t have to hunt for a job while physically and mentally incapable of doing one right now

    I’m honestly so thrilled my head hurts.








  • Surprisingly, I installed Calibre on Linux and for some reason it just looks…better on Linux? Not sure if its because it opened up in default dark mode or what, but it doesn’t look as ugly when I’m using it on Pop_OS. Feels at home, really.

    I will say its definitely a beast. I’ve used it a few times but I never really went in depth with it’s features. I’m definitely liking the bulk tag editing, the shop search (I’ve been looking for a way to search DRM-free books and it has it!), and the default tags. The last one is mainly because I think getting a tag called “mentally ill women” for The Yellow Wallpaper is a little funny.
