I just need someone to believe me that this is really happening.

I feel better.

I'll always CW anything about the roommate, because I know it's unpleasant. But I gotta vent somewhere, so that they don't come out of the bedroom and see me with my head down on the kitchen counter, and ask "what's wrong?" all innocent, and get an earful of it, and then try to gaslight me into thinking I imagined the entire thing.

Sigh.

Feels like I should have the right to express my emotional boundaries & give a brief explanation

without having them walk away and shut the door right in the middle of my sentence

I need the place I live in to be a refuge, not a garbage can that's 100% filled within a moment of them coming home.

They're going to emerge and ask for a favor I promised them this morning, and when I no longer want to, it'll be like, "Figures."

No, you're JUST AN ASSHOLE

Lord & Lady give me the strength to not strangle my roommate.

Well, no matter what I do, I can't get the old Macbook to recognize the Yunohost installer USB.

Or any other installation USB, for that matter.

I've tried it on a few different thumb drives, and even though the Macbook sees the disk and mounts it, it never shows up as a choice in the selector screen while it's booting up. Or else the screen just stays white and the computer never boots at all.

Which means I couldn't even put linux on it if I wanted to.

Also, is what I am proposing even a thing that can happen?

I might try gotosocial.

If I break everything this coming week, I'm sorry in advance.

When I was living with my last ex, who worked at a few bookstores, at one point we got up to twenty-six bankers boxes of books.

And we moved them, more than once.

Now I have a tablet.

To the library they go tomorrow. 👍

There are about 10 more books floating around on loan, but I'm not counting. They wouldn't even make a quarter of a box.

I took pictures of all the covers, so that I can re-buy them digitally if I ever change my mind.

I feel so much lighter.
