never let that shit get you down. i have a friend who got a wretched primary education (private christian school in the prairies, lol) and as a result has atrocious spelling/grammar, but they're still an excellent writer and ace academic. just think of yourself as a job creator for all those shiftless editors

yeah it doesn't really bother me, i respect the editors work a lot. although i did sort of botch my masters thesis and got a lot of negative comments back. somehow still an a-minus because of grade inflation. i can identify most of the things i screwed up though which seems like a second best way of learning things. i found i had to leave most classrooms about an hour or so into class too because of anxiety.
it's amazing how many opportunities being attached to a university got me though. almost absurd considering none of those resources exist for just random people it seems like. it makes me want to learn more about popular education in the future. i don't really feel like i fit in in normal academia but yeah i could see teaching little groups or something.
that's actually one of the things I have come to value so much about our home here: one of those rare places hors de l'academe where people can pursue independent research and writing and still have that invisible college of peers to contribute knowledge and critique you.

in a lot of white-collar stuff nowadays it's a straight-up power move to fuck up spelling & grammar constantly and never improve
it's kind of nice for posting, out in the open air. i never had a smartphone so i'm not used to sitting in the grass and posting. but the place i'm staying is cheap and dirty and a hassle, i'll be happy to leave next month.

why not try to have sex with a lady, e.g. one of the ppl you organize with. that's sure to end well
i think the trouble with neeting is that you just don't have money, and most social things require at least a little bit of money (if only for transportation fare, the occasional drink, etc.). i would say read more but i doubt that's what you need, it sounds like loneliness is the big thing for you which i don't know how to remedy staying on the course you're on now

this is the second 40" plus deluge from a very slow moving, very big hurricane to hit the US in under 2 years, things are getting pretty wild out there, good luck
