HELLOOO IT'S ME AGAIN I just got word that my day job is gonna be closed during the summer t-t so I'm I will be opening more slots for students starting in June! All RT's appreciated 😭 Thank youu!!

Now I've successfully completed University... MY STORE IS OPEN! (: Currently UK only while I get my bearings - 15% off until Tuesday with the code SCHOOLSOUT ko-fi.com/distortarte/...

This is a cat checkpoint; relinquish your most recent cat picture(s)

Practiced with my art account @distortarte.bsky.social and need to do a bunch of accessibility testing, font changing, flexbox etc, but we CAN do it ourselves

Linktree just sent me some bullshit about "upgrading to pro" after their fuckin AI policy updates Fuck you I'm just going to code my own

Having a bunch of humans replace the AI shite just means humans could have done it in the first place. People doing the work twice for no reason.

I'm trans and disabled and my RADAR key has been a lifesaver, thank you DR UK. The use of a urinary leash to attempt to exclude trans people from daily life is absolutely disgusting.

Best thing about archiving all the online media I enjoy is that I can have music that never hit streaming or CDs Lady Gaga 2009 VMAs Paparazzi performance will always have my heart

Had a music tech teacher at sixth form who liked to call everything the r-slur. Said that my coursework sounded "autistic". In written feedback. Anyway I took it to the head and eventually he got let go, told his form class to fuck off and then he went to do something in the church?? Fuck you, Alec

I DID IT I FUCKING DID IT I FINISHED UNI

i'm submitting my assignment tonight i'm tired

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

Dream about an incredibly bizarre comedy show format where comedians would go to coastal towns, wear Victorian clothes, cover themselves in mud and make bizarre howling noises or say limericks and the celebrities watching had to guess which cryptid or ghoul the celebrity was emulating

Finished the references, still gotta knock like 300 words off cause I wrote too much I feel weird

everyone!!! I've done all the words!!! Absolutely not finished just yet, but just need to finish some sentences, get all the references in and I'm DONE!!! I'M ALMOST FINISHED UNI!!! I COULD HAND THIS IN NOW AND GET SOME SORT OF GRADE IT TOOK SO MANY YEARS LOL

This year was the first academic year I've used Zotero and it is such a finicky bastard

Heads up for any artists/writers/etc currently using Linktree to point people to their work: from 5 July they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E.

When I say I won’t read your Substack this is what I mean:

Bsky Assignment Check-In: Almost there now. Got like ~1200 words-ish left to go but now the deadline is a sufficient distance away where I can probably get it done by tomorrow and have Sunday and Monday to tell my chronic illnesses that have been flared to leave me be while I do last checks

Temporary social media return as my head tries to spin off from dizziness and I feel like I've just got off the Waltzers my brain hurts Really beginning to suspect POTs but the last time I went the doctor who tested me for it did not test properly 🙃

A history of the UK media’s transphobic addiction, from @ludovicparsons.bsky.social 

going on a social media break until my assignment is done~ see y'all laterz take care of yourselves and each other xoxo

Plugged my old iPod into my laptop to grab the tracks off it, only to see I tragically named it iPoop.

I have just one week left of Uni, I can't afford to be distracted, but let me just say: That trans rights are fucking human rights. I will be pissing wherever I need to, fuck you.

if you are wondering why: it's specifically a nazi term used to punch down

1.5/4 of my final assignment is done, this weekend is combing through pretty much all of the content I've learned over the past 8 months and making sure my dyslexic ass hasn't forgotten anything important I'm tired

🚨 Last year, 900 of you joined us in Parliament to see your MP. We broke the record for the largest LGBTQ+ mass lobby in British political history. Since then, things have got worse - and the law must change. It's time to break the record again: www.transsolidarityalliance.com/mass-lobby-2...

13 days to go before The Final Day I started The Open University in 2018 I felt really below my peers for flunking out of Uni (I wasn't!!!) and have been diagnosed with a few things since then and finally learned how my brain works I've almost made it I can't believe it ;^;

As ever for trans people when there's alarming news: remember that transphobes want you afraid and hopeless. Seek out expert analysis, rather than the worst possible consequences. Disengage when you can, and read more only when you're in a good position to do so. Protect yourself and your comrades.

note to self: non-tech people don't get when you say a post-mortem to refer to a post-release, maybe don't say that

my literature review can only be like 750 words long I now understand why dissertations are as long as they are

me the entire time I'm writing my theoretical research proposal

I can't believe we turned "Laptop Worker" into a term of derision. We now have the tech and business models to allow millions of people to make a living in ways unthered to a farm plot, assembly line,, or cubicle. That's very cool! Do not project your weird yearning for the mines on to me.

the fuck it will

It all worked out, I found other papers, and I can still reference the unreviewed research later in the proposal if we consider access to academica and the truly tiny research field I've picked Once I've finished my paper I'm going to shout at you all about it! Watch this space!

I needed to find empirical research for my lit review for Uni I've been listening to my research all week to get it into my head I sit down to make sure I have the search terms right ...they're not peer reviewed...

HELLOOOO I know I've reposted this a lot but I'm looking to add more students to my schedule!! Please hit me up you would like to learn guitar/bass or music production :33 🩵🩵 All RT's appreciated!!🩵

I have only seen a single TikTok about Eurovision yesterday. Not a single recommended video. Not a peep. I hope they felt the lost views.

You love to see it

One thing my ADHD meds help is rumination. I often get so stuck on negative memories, but when I take my meds, they're just not relevant to my day. Makes it so much easier to move on and focus on the relevant!!

silly hours time to post bizzaro mashups youtu.be/13wwndvI1K4?...

Thank you so very much for all the well wishes. The situation has settled down a bit and I'm so grateful. My family member is on the road to recovery. The sentiment remains. Please wear a respirator mask when out and about. We live in a worsening world of illnesses due to climate change. Stay safe.

Hey other disabled students / academics / enthusiastic readers! Did y'all know highlighter washi tape exists??? Genuine game changer, now my dysgraphia won't make an actual mess of the page!!

Good news, everyone www.cnn.com/2026/05/14/h...
