"Why don't you put your phone on silent/DND at night?"

Well, I probably should, but I very rarely get phone calls, especially not at night, so it hasn't been an issue before, and my anxiety probably won't let me because what if there's an actual emergency 😅

Screenshot of a text message: "[Company Redacted] Important Message: We are experiencing a disruption in all Microsoft services caused by our licensing vendor. It will be resolved this weekend and we will follow up when complete."

Got this message from my company's automated alert system at 5:30 this morning, which would have been totally fine if there also hadn't been an automated phone call 😒

Tornado season is hitting early this year and I am reminded once again that one of my bigger character flaws is how blasé I am about tornadoes

Ope 💁‍♀️

(It's still red bc I literally had it done an hour ago lol)

One of the more depressing aspects of the GLP-1 stuff right now is how utterly inescapable it is. Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, there are people shrinking at alarming rates, and endless discussion of said shrinking. There's seemingly no place to just *rest.*

Gut feelings are famously very wrong a lot!

I love when people on the internet say shit like "trust your gut girly, a woman's intuition is never wrong" and then go and watch the Traitors lol

Should I get my nose pierced y/n

Jason Segel 🤝 singing The Confrontation from Les Mis for no reason at any opportunity

Ooooof that's rough 😩

Honestly between lyra and trapeze it's miraculous I haven't bashed my face on a bar at least once, but so far the only circus-related head or face injury I've had was a minor black eye from a rogue juggling club 💀

My coach called this new-to-me skill a "choker split" and I didn't make a "Choke 'er? I hardly know 'er!" joke

Plz clap at my incredible self-restraint

I was born in Kansas City, MO (which is also where I currently live), but I love Kansas.

I spent 30 years of my life living in Kansas, so I consider it my home state.

I even have a tattoo with a sunflower & a twist on the Kansas motto.

And I don't think I've ever been more disgusted with Kansas.

I'm trying to decide which PWHL team I want to start rooting for but I can't choose

Seattle Torrent would be a no-brainer based purely on name similarity to the KC Current but the logo looks like a squiggle of toothpaste :/

Minnesota has the best color scheme but fuck Britta Curl for being a TERF

Can't even log into IG on a Monday morning without seeing a random post on my feed from a local stranger recommending one of their shows 🙄

The biggest circus performance company in this city, the one all the normies know and love, is actually super shady and it's an open secret that the owner is a creep but they have the money and name recognition so no one can really do anything about it and it drives me insane

I think Alysa Liu's gold medal free skate is going to be my new go-to "I need to feel something and/or cry uncontrollably" video 🥹

you'll miss the Todds of the world when they're replaced by the Noahs who say "lets ask chatgpt"

I'd love it, if someone else hasn't already claimed!

Unsure if I missed the window for the night but if I haven't, am v interested in this one!

In "media that feels created in a lab specifically for me" news: Imogen Heap and Pattie Gonia collabed on a music video and it's chock-full of vertical/wall dance 😍

The first new music from CHVRCHES in 5 years is a cover of Such Great Heights and I am now deceased

Thank you! 💖

Soo you posted about some pink moonstone the other day, any chance any of that is available? 👀

Yes hi hello 🙋‍♀️

Yes please!

I suck at taping bar apparatuses so this took me way longer than it should have but Babs (my lyra) looks so pretty with her fresh tape job 😍

It's almost Valentine's Day so I made a cheesy little montage to honor one of the greatest loves of my life: circus 💖

Morning meeting was moved to this afternoon so now I get to watch the mixed doubles curling gold medal match live 🙌

Anyway that's how my gf and I wound up eating at Cheesecake Factory for my birthday while the Super Bowl is happening.

So a thing about me is that I have an inexplicable soft spot for the Cheesecake Factory.

And I mean, yes, it's partly because I just really love cheesecake - but also, I find the giant menu and the 2000s wine mom Tuscanish decor just....strangely charming and comforting?
