Y'all, I made a server! It's for 20+ postgraduate and mature students who want a study server that isn't dominated by kids and teenagers. (No insult to them, it can just be uncomfortable to be there as an adult)

Some features:

Sprinto bot

Chat rooms for study sessions or hanging out

Dedicated fandom and infodumping spaces

Dedicated space for talking about neurodivergent study tips etc.

Sharing access to resources (down with capitalism)

Feel free to join and help me shape the server while it's new, or just come along and use the space 💜

I'm feeling under the weather today, so I'm taking it easy. I borrowed this book from my university's library over a year ago, and today I'm finally going to read it!

Have-done list:

Put propagated succulent leaves in soil

Uploaded a new listing to etsy

Attended a talk on emotions history

It's hard to get back into the work mindset after a week off! I'm taking it steady - my aim today is to get just the necessary thesis work done, and some administrative stuff. I bought myself this new book last week - my first in-person trip to a bookshop in so long! It looks so interesting, I can't wait to read it 😊

I have a Rhodia dot grid reporter's pad, and while I *love* the paper quality and freedom of layout, I'm using it horizontally and weekly logs are getting tricky to fit on a page.

I'm typing this more slowly than usual because I have a new keyboard! I realised recently that I've stopped working at my desk, and started doing all my work in my bedroom - which means I'm less productive, and my bedroom stops being a place just for resting. So I've reorganised and revamped my desk set-up! I treated myself to a new mouse and keyboard, new laptop stand, and a new pink desk organiser. Along with the little succulent cutting I'm encouraging to grow roots, it's a much more inviting work space!

I went out for a walk before lunch, and now I'm settling down to some marking. My thesis reading for today is this lovely old book! It's one of those wonderful books you buy because it looks interesting, and then realise it's going to be useful too. I'm interested in it for the primary author, and his thoughts on Julius Caesar's character.

Oh! And the little succulent cutting is definitely putting out roots now, which is very exciting! My desk is so much more welcoming with a plant on it.
