essay writing hack: when i'm struggling with a long paper, i will simply convert my inquiry question into a series of smaller questions, type out the questions as like shorter-answer prompts for myself with rough guidelines as to word count (e.g. 200 words, 400 words), and then answer the prompts. it circumvents the part of my brain that is worried about formatting the essay correctly AND it allows me to get my ideas down without being daunted by the size of the task.

hey you wanna make a game thats so cool. youre using godot? then you'll need to write your code in GDscript! that's like Python, so look up some lessons for that. maybe look into some JavaScript while you're at it. and if you're making a game, why not make a website for it! just takes a little HTML and CSS. oh by the way, that game, you realized you need shaders to do something? awesome, awesome, well you'll need to use GLSL to make those, that's a type of openGL which is kind of like C. by the way this is trigonometry

At this point what else is there to do?
On a mandatory medical leave that won’t pay me for the going on 2 months and counting of missed pay. The forms and test that need to be done and submitted for the medical leave processing cost money that we just don’t have.
Food assistance was cutoff a while ago and all applications submitted after for re-approval have been denied along with rent assistance and medical assistance 🫠
Looking for remote work in hopes of having a job that doesn’t cause a panic attack at the very thought of being there since ,not surprisingly, having anxiety and a security job don’t mix.
Our current attempts at raising funds is not at all sustainable and our hope going forward is that we can finally raise enough to help with the medical bills that could never fit in our budget even with 2 incomes because of the lack of health insurance, cover rent during the current job searching, and help with the never ending battle of keeping food and medicine in the apartment in the meantime until i’m successfully settled in a new job.
As always anything and everything helps and is so very appreciated!

We've been having a conversation in my science fiction class about science fiction as allegory, and I've been thinking a lot about it as both metaphor and not-metaphor.
So, in Doctor Who, the Doctor regenerates. This is very clearly a metaphor for a normal human experience: "We all change, when you think about it. We're all different people all through our lives. And that's okay, that's good, you've got to keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be." This is also very clearly an alien experience to which none of us can relate. There is no human equivalent to having your entire body rewritten in every cell, becoming a new but same person with a new but same personality, and retaining all of your memories of someone you no longer are. Like. It's weird! Regeneration has to function as both metaphor and not metaphor at the same time, and a lot of its power as a narrative device comes from that flexibility.
My other example is mutants in X-Men (because X-Men and Doctor Who are the only two science fiction works to ever exist <3). The mutant metaphor is a long-standing part of the X-Men story, from God Loves, Man Kills to the cartoons to the movies. Mutation is a metaphor for difference; they talk about workplace discrimination, about government surveillance of mutants, about screening for mutant genes in utero. It has always been and will always be in part a metaphor. It is also a category that is extremely unlike any existing category. Some mutants are inherently a serious threat, some mutants are genuinely horrifying and disgusting, some mutants defy long-established notions of what it means to be a "person." And stories about the X-Men have to grapple with that as well as with the metaphor. Treating it purely as a metaphor misses the point, treating it as not at all a metaphor misses the point, you have to understand it as both at once.
