Paleontology is a very important science, philosophically speaking...
Okay, where to start....
Well, after a... bit of trauma suffering the loss of a sibling back in 2011, I stopped being a christian, but wasn't too content at all with believing in nothing. I discovered Paganism and now I follow four gods, but Loki's head-god in my life (and I'm cool with that). The other gods are Bast, Thoth, and Cernunnos.
I've also decided to actually do research on different political views and found that anarchism is best for me. So... there's that.
After rising rent prices and BEDBUGS, my husband and I could no longer afford to remain living in that hole-in-the-wall of an apartment in downtown Pittsburgh and ended up moving back in with my parents. There are no college opportunities here, and with things I cannot discuss publicly, my parents are hoping for a series of things to happen in order for them to be able to move north in Ohio here, where I will hopefully be able to attend a community college and eventually Kent State where I can do a double major in geology and organismal biology in hopes to pave a decent path to becoming a paleontologist (and I'll get to that in a sec).
Living back here with my parents has been... Both imprisoning and liberating. Imprisoning because it's the middle of fucking nowhere. You have to drive from this hilly-ass farm to go do anything. And there's VERY little to do. There's the mall, and.... And that's it. One mall that's surprisingly thriving (probably because THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO DO HERE aside from bowling which we can't always afford). The mall itself ain't bad. It has a discount art supply store, which that alone contributed to my rekindled motivation for creating art once more (the other was I found out that the Art Institute was a complete fraud and, while the government sued them, we're still stuck with the fucking debt... bastards), it also has a comic book store which, I sadly cannot afford to get much from there as we have been almost constantly strapped tight for cash, but I try to get what I can when I can. There's also a bookstore which, see previous sentence for reasons why I can't always get a book every time I go. Besides, they don't have anything involving leftist ideologies and their Pagan section is sad. I'd get into some other fiction, but I'm still trying to learn more about anarchism and leftism in general on my own, on top of wanting to start bulking up my knowledge on paleontology and catching up on book series that I've been putting off since forever, such as the Harry Potter series (I'm only ONE BOOK IN) and Game of Thrones (a book and a quarter in).
In recent years, I've been hearing more and more about creationism, but what disgusts me more is the fact that there's this group of people that actually exist who think that dinosaurs have never existed (no... I'm not kidding... and you can find these assholes on YouTube). Them fueling my rage has rekindled my long-forgotten and suppressed since childhood dream of becoming a paleontologist (which was squashed by a teacher who told me that scientists have to be smart people, and no smart person gets a C in math in FIFTH GRADE). So I'm gonna try my damnedest to get into paleontology.
Aaaand health-wise: I MAY or may not have endometriosis. I can't afford to find out, I want a partial hysterectomy anyways so I don't have to deal with periods anymore (but I'm too poor for that, too). I've also had my diet drastically change because anything super greasy/oily or red meat will make me sick, so I have to watch out for that. I mean, after a while of eating "clean foods", I can have like... one slice of pizza and largely be okay, but... That's it. I can't really eat anymore unless I don't mind having gut cramps and shit. These symptoms are common with endometriosis (among others that I have of which I will not share with you here), so it doesn't surprise me. I also have a rotten wisdom tooth I've been keeping from getting infected, because I can't afford oral surgery to get rid of all my wisdom teeth.
*sigh* .....regarding my financial situation, my parents can't help much either. They're pretty poor, too. But my mom says that if I can keep the house clean, she'll pay me what she can. I have to de-clutter it, first. I might be able to start on that tomorrow, now that I think about it.
Oh, and last but not least, my fursona is done changing. I'm a vampire bat. Because.
