Will I ever get through the introductory week of a research class without getting the Decemberists stuck in my head? Not likely!

Every time I see a cybertruck in the wild it's like sorry I don't believe a real person bought one of these with their own money. These are paid actors

my ego is having a weird time bc my whole team got laid off last week and the first 2 job applications I heard back about were auto-rejections, but also my professor just told me I would make an excellent PhD student or researcher if I wanted to do either of those

also I’m dying to know why I was at cheer camp, I have never been a cheerleader, nor has the person I had a crush on in middle school (I looked him up today and he’s a software engineer now)

The way I know I’m asexual is that the pharmacy couldn’t fill my birth control in time, so my brain is a mess of hormones and it was like β€œoh let’s give them a romantic dream they can swoon over all day”.
Reader, the dream was β€œwe made eye contact at cheer camp”. And it fucking worked

I keep thinking about how the misrepresentation of the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit convinced Americans that it was too easy to sue corporations β€” a laughable idea if you think about it for 10 seconds.

It's the same with trans kids: The scandal is that care is too hard to get, not too easy.

Staffing Was β€˜Not Normal’ at Air Traffic Tower During Plane Crash The report, reviewed by The New York Times, said that one controller was communicating with both helicopters and planes. Those jobs are typically assigned to two people, not one.

DCA staffing on Wednesday was reportedly not normal β€” with one air traffic controller handling the job of two people.

These shortages will only be worsened by federal budget cuts and Trump's hiring freeze.

We should be investing in public workers, not attacking them.

β€œWe” is myself and my roommate. He’s moving soon (though he has mandated that we need to do this virtually in future yearsβ€” every year until we die. Even if we’re enemies.) …anyone need a new roommate? This is the kind of energy I bring to a living situation πŸ˜‚

Year 2 of our Chaos Calendar. We each supply half a month’s worth of chaotic things (challenges, fun facts, rewards) and mix them all up. This year it’s extra chaotic because I didn’t realize I used all the construction paper, so we used my old drawings from art therapy #chaoticgood #chaoscalendar

I was using Facebook almost exclusively for Twilight memes and the Memories function, so I didn’t have much exposure to the toxic sides, but I had already noticed how bad Instagram was getting and kept putting β€œparental controls” on my phone to protect my peace. This was my last straw too

Recognizing the signs and filing them away for future reference is generally good, but how was 10 year old me supposed to know the website my mom played farm games on would become evil?

I deleted all of my accounts on Wednesday. Found out about their homophobic new policy last Wednesday and gave myself a week to get people’s numbers/discord/Bluesky and get out.

total bs that Meta had to go mask-off with homophobia before my twilight makeup arrived so Instagram doesn’t get to see this
