I don’t have a point. Just throwing things into a phone because I’m awake and feeling things. Maybe an attempt to recapture what I used to do here.
Oh well.
For whatever it’s worth, I hope you are doing well. Wherever and however you are.

[Patron Saint of Scary Things @zechareyah]

Back to feeling extremely empty. I’ve struggled so hard the last ten years, I’ve accomplished so much, and I have a good job. But it’s still not enough money.
And my mind is nowhere near where it ought to be to use my degree.
Loans. Catastrophic car repairs. Living in general.

@goodtimesatngt @wfaaweather "Cap" refers to a type of lid on the atmosphere. Big storms want big height, so atmosphere having a lid makes it so storms lose energy/break apart. DFW often has this cap over it and bad storms start to break up as they get close. Sometimes the cap makes them miss DFW altogether.

After having yet another conversation about this last night, please take some notes so people don't need to repeat themselves:

Whiteness and Blackness are not equivalent. Whiteness is a hegemonic construct that wields immense power and shields those who pass as white.

[Patron Saint of Scary Things @zechareyah]

@WilGafney Yep! I’ve posted a few things here and there but not too much. Slowly easing back into social media.

Goodness haven’t been here forever.
My soul hurts just loading this app lol

How are y’all doing?

@oooowwwwvvvv @wfaaweather While that is true, we're not in the level 3 of 5 area to the west where the greatest risk is. Pete's graphic does state there's an isolated tornado possible (as with pretty much all severe weather in TX), so I don't think he's purposely omitting anything.

[Patron Saint of Scary Things @zechareyah]

@Jhlee1286 @wfaaweather generally no - the only reason you see more stability in the atmosphere after a storm is because something like a dry line or cold front passed through with the storms because that shifts everything in the atmosphere.

My other favorite part is in Deut 26:12-13 where the redactors were like "...whole tithe of your produce on the third year - which is the tithe year..." Like, bruh - you better not forget Year 3 is Tithe Year. So much so they added it into the text 😂

[Patron Saint of Scary Things @zechareyah]

In what other professional field can you write this footnote and have it be fine? 😂
"Perhaps the redactors were aware of the practice and rendered the text in a way that the community would hear and be mindful to not be as thorough as possible in their stripping."

I have to write a brief conclusion chapter, but all of that is just summary anyway, so I can finally say:

I have a complete draft of my last chapter and I will email it to my advisor tonight and ohmygosh is this real

[Patron Saint of Scary Things @zechareyah]

I feel like my life fell apart in the last 5 months. I'm so grateful to my wife and my kids. I'd be lost without them. Completely.

But I'm determined to finish my dissertation.
And I will get a job. One that can support my family.

Maybe then my mental health will get better.

[Patron Saint of Scary Things @zechareyah]

thanks to everyone who checked in on me after I went in to the ER. I'm okay. Scans didn't show anything wrong, which is both great and unhelpful.

[Patron Saint of Scary Things @zechareyah]

I don’t think I’m going to make it to the new year

[Patron Saint of Scary Things @zechareyah]

Hopefully I can somehow still finish this dissertation before April. My mind feels like it’s fully broken in terms of writing.

[Patron Saint of Scary Things @zechareyah]

I need a good job before the end of the year or I’m scared at what might happen.

It’s been the most crushing few months not being able to find work to live on.
I have years of experience in IT and I can’t even get an interview.

This is the lowest point of my entire life.

ah yes, how we dealt with "the Taliban", also currently known as "the reigning government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan"
