Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

I made my own damn raviolis today. They aren't great and I need to practice this (oh darn, I have to make and eat pasta, oh no) but I MADE MY OWN DAMN RAVIOLIS

I came so close to not giving him the note but I told a friend that I had the note and was looking for him so when I spotted him walking with another friend and panicked saying I couldn't do it, my friend said yes you can!! You can do this!! And then I did it and then I announced I'm going home

I couldn't find a good opportunity to tell the guy I have a crush on that I have a crush on him so I wrote a note and gave it to him and ran away in a panic so I'm doing great over here but at least today the depression isn't winning!

(the anxiety is winning instead)
(The depression is in second)

I don't want to go to bed. I got dressed for my gym class today and couldn't get out of the car. I haven't had a PTSD flare up like this in years. I am NOT happy. This is some bullshit

I went to all of my classes today even though I didn't want to. Tried to get a group of friends together to go out but they wanted to go late and I didn't so I went home feeling bad about myself. My depression has ramped up and I find that fuckin rude

One thing that would help is telling this one dude that I have a crush on him but I haven't been able to catch him alone and I tried to give him my number but he did not text me so now I have to do things the hard way

He's usually incredibly stoic so to see him crack up at me trying to explain this was hilariously validating. Of course it's not the best reason but it's a pretty good one when the chips are down

My anxiety has been crazy high and I'm not sure what trigger got poked so I don't know how to make it go away. Usually I just go address the cause of the anxiety and then I'm fine but right now there is no cause which is some bullshit

I told my VA psych that the school counselor was concerned by my "attempting and failing suicide is scarier than suicide so I will never attempt" bc normal people don't think like that but I thought it was logical!

He actually laughed and agreed it's logical but that it's still not the best reason

Went into YouTube music to down vote all of Lee Brice and Brantley Gilbert's music for participating in the kid rock jackoff session only to discover I apparently already did it to Brantley Gilbert at some point in the past.

I was given an old beat up Le Creuset dutch oven and managed to get my executive function together long enough to go through the warranty process...

My new baby arrived this week and I'm so happy

When it comes to winning an eBay auction, is it better to set your bid high from the outset to discourage people, or just get into a potential bidding war in the last 5 minutes? I've got an alarm set for 10 minutes prior to the auction closing so I can be sure to watch it

So the full Epstein files got dropped, is that what I'm understanding?

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

I've never used Lego bricks but we had to play with them in class today and I got so stressed I just started sorting them by color and function and did not do the assignment

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

One of my professors doesn't give word counts on projects and that stresses me out so there's a non zero chance I'm going to overkill this analysis by a lot

Ding dong the witch might be dying? But it would emergency land if that was the case, wouldn't it

:(

I'm going to shoot my shot with a cute man at school next week. Very nervous bc like all people I live in fear of rejection but I'm going to do it because if I don't I will kick myself forever

I did Pilates today, I'm riding a horse tomorrow, doing Pilates on Wednesday, maybe riding a horse again on Thursday, gotta line up some exercise for Friday, then I'm hiking this weekend.

Forgot how much movement just feels good

What's the best easy gravy for chicken and country fried steak? Got a cube steak I need to cook up

I certainly learned important lessons about layers, footwear, and setting out earlier in the day

Hi, I'm unprepared for a winter hike!

Turns out tiramisu is insanely easy to make. It took a while for the heavy whipping cream to turn to stiff peaks with a hand held beater but my KitchenAid is up north so we're working with what we've got. I made an eggless/alcohol free version due to the children that may be brave enough to eat it

I'm making chai tiramisu tonight! It's going be to delicious! It was going to be a branding day treat for my summer job but the branding tomorrow got canceled so now we're doing coffee and catching up instead

I know two women who are highly skilled at grafting, so we should be able to produce several trees. I don't personally have a place to put a tree but if is a unique antique apple, finding homes where I can later get new scionwood will be easy

My friend showed me what could be antique pioneer apple trees today! They're in public land so I've emailed a woman who works with the OSU tree lab to get help grafting scion wood, and the Lost Apple Project to ask for their input and help as well!

I hope they're cool apples

Dug my Osprey pack out to reclean it after the mice got to it. They didn't chew holes in it but they peed and pooped on it. It's been disinfected in the tub and now it's in the washing machine on delicate. Might still spray it with bleach for my own peace of mind
