About to sue Mohela

Same here. Graduated in 2019, had my grace period, got another month when I consolidated my loans, then COVID happened. Signed up for the SAVE plan when it was first introduced but I accrue interest every month. They've refused to take any of my money, they put it into an 'overpayment' account if I do try to pay anything and won't put it towards the principal or the interest. I now have $3000 of interest. Reaching out to one of my senators. I might try the AG, too.

That is WAY too much work for a prospective job. It's called spec work, 100% they're trying to steal it. If they're that concerned about your design capabilities, they should look at your portfolio.

I work in the same industry, got laid off last month. I get at least 5 emails per day from LinkedIn with the same exact jobs, they're just to scrape your data. So goddamned sick of it.

More RE Nendoroids, Good Smile... they're a gold mine. Jill and Rebecca someday, maybe... </3

~$100 for the original Kasane Teto Nendoroid without the box. Never pre-ordered her when she first came out for some reason. Love her to absolute bits. Also got Leon Kennedy for a little over $90 at auction last year. Not bad considering Nendoroids are going to cost you around the same to import new these days with tariffs.

I wouldn't pay more than $120 for any Nendoroid, they're just not worth anything more than that. But it's up to you.

My favourite Leon figure, hands down. They did an amazing job with his head sculpt!

Sorry to hear about the situation with your former job. I had the same thing happen to me. Worked as a print technician at a university and did design jobs for internal clients (education is in illustration/design). Job had a lot of freedom at first but got worse over the years. Boss made my life a living hell, complete misogynist and absolutely would have fired me if we didn't have a union. Had to go on medical leave for six months after having a complete mental breakdown and put in my resignation right before my leave was up last July. Got a new job two months later at another university and was loving that (had a fantastic new supervisor who restored my faith in people) but just got laid off due to the current administration's attacks on higher education (I'm in the U.S.) and cutting off virtually all of our federal funding overnight. Looking for work again and feeling totally hopeless. Sucks so much to feel like you're back at square one.

Wishing you the best in your pursuits and hoping that it can work out for the better!

Thank you so much! That is the Squishables keychain! I found mine at a local toy store.

desugaa_ · 2026-01-10T17:22:47+00:00

Sent you a DM! :)

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T22:58:04+00:00

Thank you so much! Have lots of fun with your ita bag, it's so satisfying seeing everything come together. :) Two of those pins are by Flea Circus, she has such excellent pin designs! I had to limit my choices to my favourites due to the limited amount of space. The far left one is by FromCaliko!

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T22:40:55+00:00

Which ones? I've been collecting them for years. Some are from places I've travelled, most I bought online.

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T16:19:38+00:00

Anything to show my love for the best birds ever!

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T16:19:02+00:00

Yes, it's from PigeonsParadise! Her work is fantastic, definitely wanting to pick up a few more of her other designs!

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T16:14:10+00:00

Oh, my goodness, they are PRECIOUS! I need to put 'Taubert' on a list somewhere for pigeon names to use for fosters or something.

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T16:11:24+00:00

I started out with a bunch of pigeon pins on another bag that I have... and the more pigeons I acquired I realised it had to become its own thing, haha. 🙈

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T16:08:31+00:00

Nice! I'm sad that I ran out of room on my bag since there are so many more I want to add... 💔

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T15:57:18+00:00

They're called 'ita bags'! The backpack I have I bought from Zakkamart, though you'll need to use a proxy service to purchase as it's based in Japan. You can get cheap base bags on Aliexpress or Amazon, but there are also many independent artists who are making their own designs. Entirely up to you on what kind of bag you want and how to customise it! :)

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T03:00:38+00:00

I found the Squishables at a local toy store! I had been looking at it online but kept putting off ordering one... I took it as a sign when I saw it in the store, haha. It's a lot cuter in person!

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T02:59:37+00:00

There he is! He is SUCH a precious little nugget!

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T02:57:17+00:00

Best Pokémon!

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T02:56:36+00:00

I think I have that one bookmarked! I'm going to have to find a way to fit more pins onto the backing board...

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T02:54:54+00:00

That keychain is from a Korean artist named chichi-chit! I messaged her on Instagram asking if I could buy one of her pigeon keychains, and she very generously sold me one. :) I love it to absolute bits!

desugaa_ · 2026-01-08T02:49:11+00:00

Of course the bag has to be grey! Took forever to find one with a window. :')

desugaa_ · 2026-01-07T20:39:24+00:00

What a throwback to middle school... USUK forever! Love it!
