Chicago. Parent. Fat. Bisexual. Bipolar II. Loud. Still masking. Kind of cute if you squint. Nerdy, but in a way that's fairly socially acceptable now. I have a kid, Nikole, who is she/they and a spouse, N, who is he/him.

Yeah, I was looking at the university I went to and wow the price is different.
Also my household makes about what my parents' did, proportionately. I qualified for pell grants. My kid does not. Those were reduced, weren't they?

My child would be eligible for direct loans and work study to the amount of about $7k per semester. You have to pay back loans, of course.

Fingers crossed for the new medication.

Some of my favorites have been "Rigsby, WI"; "Wine Ghost Goes to Hell"; the anthology "Failure to Launch"; "TJ and Amal"; "The Harrowing of Hell"; "Banned Book Club"; "As the Crow Flies"; "Real Hero Shit"... there's so many that I'd run out of room if I listed them all.

Which means Lolly has no one backing her up. Except Polly. Who has tried to fuck (or has fucked?) Lolly's fiance; a fiance who has proposed marriage to both of them at the same time, and then later proposed to Polly again while engaged to Lolly.
Depressing.

And Amos and Edda's stance here is directly counter to Xiulan's "I hate you and you don't deserve my son and I would destroy your relationship if I could" stance. Xiulan will ALWAYS take Alistair's side, while Amos and Edda vow neutrality.
