on today's episode of Fun Disabled Student Things: pulled an all-nighter in the 24-hour library. now sitting outside at 6:30am in the freezing cold & rain waiting for my flatmate to walk over from the other side of campus bc the step-free access route isn't open outside of teaching hours 🤩

ao3 is down for maintenance for the majority of today which is honestly probably a good thing bc it removes one single option (the pitt fanfiction) from my vast arsenal of Ways To Distract Myself From My Assignment
the bone temple, on the other hand, will absolutely be getting a rewatch . i fuckin ADORE this franchise
