Aimée

We watched Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat tonight and I'm genuinely surprised I'd never seen it let alone heard of it. It totally seems like something my parents would be in to. It was great, btw, camp horror spaghetti western

Honestly I got weepy over the owl musical interlude, because that is resistance: love, community, and joy in the face of hate, isolation, and anger. We are not alone. We were never alone. Love and help your neighbors, show them we are together and we are strong.

Yeah like I'm deeply unhappy with a lot of stuff but I still am determined to find love and joy and whimsy because without that why would I fight? And I don't think I have the tools to help you if you refuse to keep kindness and love in your heart.

I liked it here because it was relaxed and there was a solid separation of work and personal, and now both of those are gone.

So not only did I get an on record warning for criticizing the dress code changes, I just got told today that I will be fired for being "unwilling to perform duties" if I refuse to download a work related app to my personal device because they will not issue work equipment or offer alternatives.

I made three appointments today. Maybe the mania feeling is good (this is probably the mania feeling talking)

I flew very close to the sun (uninhibited manic behavior and horny on main and I'm not embarrassed but I am feeling "oh I sure did say that")

I keep sorta crying over fictional boys being unconditionally loved by their parents.

This week is a fuck.

Hey, start here! www.standwithminnesota.com here are some Venmos you can donate to as well, look them up on a search engine for more info! bsky.app/profile/quas...

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I am strong and I am not going to sub-tweet equivalent about a thing.

You never stopped being someone I wanted, I was just a coward. Flighty and self absorbed. Unable to be kind.

All this to say: acne has been so bad!!! But I started using stridex pads (full strength) and they work super well. I still get the acne but it clears up and heals much faster, meaning also I have less chance to pick at it. Honest recommendation if you know anyone who might want it!

So I'll be 37 this year. My progesterone implant is now 6 years old (so 3 years out of date). My sis has PCOS, and my mom started hormone therapy for perimenopause at 35. My body is a hormonal chaos. And I'm considering if I wanna start T (still weighing my options and figuring out my goals on that)

I did computational solid mechanics but I had peers doing solid-liquid interactions and they used a software called OpenFOAM, in case this is useful information at all. I could also point you to some researchers in that topic if you'd like. Also now I am Extremely Intrigued!! Love a nerd!

I'm also finding myself again after a very rough few years. Life is weird.

It wasn't really intentional but I've been reconnecting with people I lost touch with in grief and it's like. Refreshing. I miss some of these folks!!

Had my ~monthly 8am Saturday shift so of course went to the diner after. Had a breakfast burger and then a slice of chocolate, cookie dough, marshmallow fluff cake. Came home and immediately zonked out on the couch for like 4 hrs.

Sometimes tbh the heated rivalry mass psychosis is the bits of fraying twine holding me together

Alt text, because one would think folks would want news about a general strike to go as far as it can.

Yay I'm glad it finally made it!!!

Having a lot of feelings tonight. Grief. Loneliness. Buncha stuff kinda piling up, but maybe I'll get a good cry out of it.

I learned today about an elemental fish. It's the 2Na.

I keep kinda rolling masc names around in my head. I like the idea of Eddie but idk if I want to be Eddie or date Eddie. I like Sacha (this French version is masculine, and it ties to my weird connection with Russian), but I was also thinking about Étienne which could be shortened Éti. Ideas!

Porque no los dos

I made progress on my house situation during my break. Let's see how quickly the 40 hour workweek erases it

I love them so much, if I weren't in NJ I'd take them immediately. Hoping for a beautiful home for them soon!

Got called out for posting a haircut inspo and it's just a short cropped mullet. Apparently if I'm gonna socially transition to more masc I'm going for Big Gay
