Happy New Year!

Wee woo

I'm looking at online master's in financial planning degrees because I need something to think about.

Today I've cycled through:

- wanting to be a physical therapist
- wanting to be a florist
- wanting to move to Missouri to study plant science
- wanting to go into commercial banking
- wanting nothing

He'll yeah

We were passed out 😅

Okay actually managed to get on the bus to go get my hair cut, so that's a win for the day.

Okay so I accidentally fell asleep with my cat in my lap for 4 hours.

Explaining to people that Microwave Tea isn't tea, it's just hot, dirty water is my love language

Hey Queer Poets!

Several of us are trying to popularise the use of #QPoetryComrades in our posts as a way of finding each other and keeping in touch.

What's appropriate content for this? For the moment I am going to say whatever you feel appropriate...

Ok so looking at my goals:

I'd like to go to a hiking meetup with NEA. I think I need to up my social events, and it seems like a nice thing to do.

Still haven't ironed my aro flag

Maybe I'll fly into Munich for a weekend since I speak German.

So 2 weeks in Florence in 2026 sounds like it'd be cool. I can take an art history class at the Galileo Galilei Institute and be. What should I do for a weekend trip?

Maybe I'll start Kyrgyz classes

I have something planned for every day I'm gonna be in Venice, which is cool.

Hi I'm Porcupine and I like languages, travel, learning, art, and cats. #introduction

I think people like cats here

Mom and brother are both eating on the family zoom call, and it's triggering my misophonia 👁️👄👁️

So should I listen to epic the musical

Ya know?

Funny comic strip / meme. A group of people sit around a table during “assumption club”. One says “so, I think we all know why we’re here”. Illustration drawn in simplistic cartoon line art style. By Amii Illustrates.

Love my new Christmas tree ornament…

I think I could legit lie in bed listening to music all day. I just dig it.

Anyway, what was I gonna do today?

Well burner account isn't exactly accurate. Mostly my main account has too many academics following me, and I'm currently trying to come to terms with the fact that I'm not going into academia, so I want to follow a different crowd.

Using this as a burner account because I need somewhere to post my thoughts without being in online social environments that pressure me to be a certain level of scholarly or interesting.
