i call her girlie and she’s almost 3 and she means the world to me. i was very worried about taking her in, since my parents found her outside in winter as a teen and she’d contracted an illness that still affects her now. but i’m glad i did because she’s so wonderful and i’m so grateful to have her in my life

I adopted my cat almost 3 years ago after going my whole life thinking I wasn’t a cat person. After watching my dear friends take care of their dorm cat (Beef!) I fell in love. I never quite understood cats- I always saw them through my child eyes as being elusive and standoffish. After solidifying my friendship with Beef I realized how strong the bond between cat and (wo)man can be- because it’s earned. My precious Duchess was the crustiest cat at the shelter but when she opened her big sapphire eyes I knew we were a destined pair. Duchess has sat with me through two heartbreaks, the hardest year of my life, multiple moves, long car rides, and many, many, sleepless nights. To say she’s my best friend isn’t totally correct- I feel she is truly a part of the fabric of my being. She has helped me trust myself to care for another living being, loved me on my most rotten days, and cuddled me when I’m sad (even though she pretends she hates it). I never knew such a small creature could change my entire world. On the loneliest days she licks my hand with her scratchy tongue and lays her head on my legs and I suddenly the darkness isn’t so dark. Thank you Duchess, my sweet girl, my forever love.

i brought in a cat off my street at 3 am one night a few weeks back. bathed her, fed her, took her to the vet. she’s my best friend right now. we spend most of our time cuddling, and, even though she gave me ringworm on my face, i cannot stop kissing her. i named her mazzy, and i swear, she speaks english. i love her with all the love i dont have anyone to give. and i love her with all the love she stirs when i wake up to her in my arms. i hope you know that, toots!

i accidentally deleted my message so i’m gonna speedrun this (i graduated in 2022)
- it’s ok to do seasonal work. hiring ppl will understand. look for things that can’t be replaced by AI—camp counselor, food service, etc. anything that will give you a W2 and keep the lights on.
- look for housing in your price range NOW, not what you’re hoping to achieve. it’s ok if that’s $0. depending on your city, you might have low-income resources. i lived in the projects for a year and a half after graduating, and it helped me get on my feet to start building my life.
- apply to literally everything. you meet half the qualifications? apply. out of your city? apply. probably gonna be replaced by AI anyway? apply. it gives you a chance to practice. just stay away from jobs that ask you to do free labor as part of your interview.
- goodwill helped a ton. depending on where you live, they might have free job training courses and fairs where you get to talk directly to employers. it at least gets your foot in the door.
aaaaand that’s all i have lol. i’m rooting for you. shit’s rough out there. know your self-worth and look for creative solutions, i believe in you

Response times are super slow on my phone. I have an iphone xr and I know many apps don’t cater to that, but i often have a 2-3 second delay between hitting buttons and it actually taking. with emojis/links/pictures, it jumps to 8-10 seconds. so i often hit buttons twice or more and then have to double back. the theme tab in particular is super slow, taking me 6-8 seconds before any change is registered (besides haptics). theme tab would also benefit from labels for the custom themes (i.e. background, text, accent).
