AMAZING I'M SO PROUD OF YOU HOLY SHIT, CONGRATULATIONS-
it just hit me that for YEARS my whole (and only) major goal was to have a book published before i turned 25. that was all baby-alex in 2018 was gunning for when we started taking writing seriously.
in the time since, my publishing journey has been HARD. i mean, it has sucked some major balls. i'm talking 'getting surprise divorced the week you're supposed to start your contracted structural edits' hard.
like, 'nobody tells you anything and if other people miss deadlines, it's your problem now and you're BEING a problem just by asking why' hard. like, 'oh, you mean you're struggling with the weight of writing/editing 6 hours a day and working enough to support yourself while dealing with a chronic illness? have you tried giving up SLEEPING?' (i wish i was joking that's a verbatim quote) hard.
but now, at the end of all that bullshit, my book comes out on february 6th.
i turn 25 on march 4th.
i did it.

people talk about 'channeling' rory gilmore... or paris geller... or hermione granger... but what about susie derkins? she's literally the original-
Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.
exclaiming in a loud, high-pitched voice, "HELLO BEEBY" and making kissy noises usually
I asked my friends on Discord if they used "psipsipsi" or "swswsw" when they are trying to call kitties, and I got a wide array of answers and it got me wondering--
How do you
Thank you to @space-glitter-gay, @frogs-under-logs, @justoneofthosebibliophiles, and Virginia for the blessing and the other options!
And to thank you for your answer, here's a photo of our adopted kitten:

currently doing my extended essay proposal, feel like being sucked into a tornado <3
What a year this week has been.
Sorry, I know I'm late, but here I am!!! Happy New Year to everyone reading this, I hope 2024 treats us all better <33
Last year wasn't the best for me, but I plan on making the most of this year. So here's a couple things I'm trying to change, my resolutions, if you will:
Drink more water
Get at least 75% in every exam I attempt
Try and finish all assignments one day before the due date
Try and maintain a sleep pattern; sleep by about 11:30 and wake up at 5:00
Keep a track of my progress
Update my planner/diary every week, at least (also in order to keep track of my progress)
Alongside that, another thing I'm trying out is planning out every deadline and exam I have for the month, which is what this is:
I'm also going to try and use the Reminders app as often as I can so that I can tick off work I've finished before moving on; I also have a notebook for this, but since I work on my laptop I figure it would be easier to keep a track of it here.
Either way, I'm going to try my best to try and stick to my resolutions for this year, if anyone else has made any I wish you the best of luck too!! Let's make 2024 our year, guys, we've got this!
i did a rebrand :0 (still gotta love bildad the shuhite tho
