She'll be fine, thanks for asking. It was pretty scary for a while - she was having chest and back pains and suddenly felt freezing cold. I rushed her to the ER - when we got there, the emergency check-in was actually unstaffed! We stood there at the front of the line for about 15 minutes completely unattended. It was an ER with no sense of urgency whatsoever. It was very disheartening, I'm thinking of filing some kind of complaint. The lack of attention from triage staff was deeply disturbing.

Challenging Fate
I'm facing eviction from my campus. I literally am facing homelessness, and it doesnt involve me being trans for once.
So on Monday, I got served a paper saying that I am engaging in self harm and that I am a threat to myself. I was given an option to sign a paper consenting to mandatory counciling over that, or that my RD would be forced to call university police to eventually evict me.
I refused to sign. I didn't know who was accusing me, any proof they had beyond hearsay, and the actual charge was false since I am not engaging in any self harm whatsoever (there is more details, but I am choosing to withhold the specifics of the charges for legal reasons, in the incredibly rare but not statistically impossible chance they want to use what I post here as evidence against me). After a lot of me yelling, including even calling my parents(!) to see if they can help me find me legal recourse, eventually the RD decided to not pursue either option, and that nothing was going to happen out of this.
Evidence to me suggests its my RA who is the one who made the initital charges. Its retailation, estensially, for complaining about how I thought he was having unreasonable cleaning standards. However, I can not prove it; its really just the logical explaination for who would care enough and have the resources to do something like this.
Yesterday, he asked me if we could meet again. Eventually, that actually became today (I honestly was not expecting that, sorry tolni). Now, he is trying to say, without actually giving up names, that its my entire suite that is conspiring against me, and that I am being unfair to my RA? I find it highly unlikely because I actually just finished talking to my roomate in specific and he honestly had no clue what the hell was even going on in regards to me self harming (we live together and he had no idea that self harm was supposedly going on). Now my RD wants to change the deal so that I have to move to a different room, when I dont even have an issue with my roommate at all! Meanwhile no actual evidence was ever presented, nor do I still officially been able to face any accusors.
Im still sticking to my guns, because I am not participating in a system which persumes my guilt before I even began, and I have no way to defend myself. It is not the easy choice, but I believe in justice beyond all else, and I will fight tooth and nail for justice when I am denied it. It does mean that I don't really feel like, well, participating in OT or IOT while this is happening (nor really should I), beyond maybe small posts here or there. I feel bad because not only does this mean further delay of my plato thread, but in the thread about pope and gender, I know traitorfish called me out to provide sources for a statement I made and, well, I don't have the time or patience to research it right now.
Right now I am working on gettting my parents up here (five hours away), because if I need a retainer over this, I want to make sure I have one. Plus my phone needs to be replaced either way; the actual phone part of the phone is broken.

Car accident yesterday. Minor, low speed, and caused by the other car backing into me, so it's no biggie but I'd rather not have to deal.

That happens. On the three interviews I thought I did well on, I (obviously) didn't get the job. Yet the one interview I thought I bombed I got the job from.

My friend in West Palm Beach didn't evacuate and I would yell at her if it weren't for the fact she is going to get nailed by a category 4 hurricane. So instead I will SPEND MY EVENING FILLED WITH NERVOUS DREAD

Just realised I've not posted anything since the server migration. So I guess I should post something. End rant.
