This is the Intrepid Arachnid comin' at ya live from the public library. Yes, I'm out of the house at 10:30 in the morning. Har de har. Internet is out for the foreseeable future, unless I can find public wifi. Ergo, library ( Read more... )

A very large part of me just wants to give the fuck up. When I look at all the phone calls and pushing and red tape and lawyers and the sheer number of spoons I'd have to expend every day to negotiate the bureaucracy of getting things like Section 8 Housing or disability income, let alone the constant slap in the face that is the job search, it's ( Read more... )
