That Zooquarium one is really cool! I couldn't be jealous though, as naturally the monkey one is still my favourite by far.

ive been playing around with it and its super fun!! I need to remember that making music doesn't have to be placing each and every note one by one. sometimes you mess around with little music robots until it sounds good :]

For context I've been feeling burned out at my current job and wanted to try finding a new one, but I think I should just go down with the ship so I can actually be happy in my free time again to do Neocities stuff. It would really suck to move again but my family is nearby if I truly need to crash at their place from unemployment

I'm sort of in the same boat. Looking, but not jumping on applying to anything unless it sounds 100% up my alley. It's not so bad riding it out since I can basically do my work on autopilot + my employer isn't THAT toxic. Gives me the mental capacity to work on things I care more about, anyway

This is pretty relatable... I just graduated from my master's program, so I've been using working on my site to distract me from the whole... job situation.

And it doesn't help that jobs nowadays want you to prove yourself worthy for a mediocre wage...

Had to update that entry in the Device Museum one last time, because I don't think music is a hobby I'm cut out for. (I know people often have the reaction of "don't give up!" or "just try again later!" but I legit can't get into it in a healthy, forgiving way so I'm just not gonna.) Also I sent out a bunch more free stickers and added a button

A moment of silence for these awesome stamps that I wish I didn't have to buy in slightly-too-big quantities: (US stamps: [WTF they got discontinued] ) (International: https://store.usps.com/store/product/global-1794-compass-rose-stamps-S_581704)

This was what I WAS using for mailing stickers in the US. I guess it's rare now: https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2023/pb22630/html/images/info_006_1.jpg

Wow, my mind didn't even think that qr code postage stamps existed. RIP the stamps but cheers for saving money!
Even better, they tell you it’s just anxiety..
Yeah it's so tough having to be ready with different arguments and symptoms/evidence to shoot down the doc playing the anxiety card. Feels like I'm on trial and I have to be a lawyer. I guess I'm lucky I finally found a diagnosis that makes sense instead of wondering what worse shit could be happening
That'll be $150k
Well better it be nothing than something I guess
yeah, it sucks... especially for yall wrt cost :/ i dont bother with doctors anymore. still, as @nexos said, better nothing then something!
yeah and then everyone's surprised when you haven't been to a doctor in like 3 years. i mean yeah like what the hell are they gonna do. when i had my CNS breakdown the doctor was like "yeah i guess it's just stress lol". thanks i guess?
I totally get this and empathize!
The doctors around here don't usually say things like that. Instead, their go-to solution is to immediately put you on an IV drip, or give you vitamin supplements and a whole bunch of other medications
Healthcare is slow in England, but I'm not jealous of anyone who doesn't get public health for free.
