Being an introvert is so weird, because I'll do something like go to a conference for my 10 year reunion, be surrounded by my classmates and people I actually like, and then come home feeling so vibrant and wonder why every interaction doesn't fill my cup the same way.

Girl Dinner, but it's just eating the leftover conference food from my bag slowly while I unpack all my suff.

Vacation constipation? We don't know her, my mother's IBD genes are STRONG AS HELL. I can poop anywhere, any time.

Got a new library card and it COMPLETELY fucked up my saved E book wishlist and I am DEVASTATED.

Every time the Cowboys lose it brings me a small pleasure that my stalker is sad.

When did ugly rhinestone cowboy hats become required concert wear? This isn't even a country concert?

Everyone wants big naturals, no one wants to have to deal with the fact that you can get AGONIZING heat rash between said big naturals. 😭

I spend literally all day making decisions - medical decisions, sometimes life and death decisions. When I have the free time to consume media sometimes I just want FLUFF. Easy, simple plot FLUFF. Just let me have my trashy books and reality television in peace!

IF YOU KNEW ME FOR THE LAST 3 MINUTES AND 14 SECONDS, ACTUALLY YOU DON'T.

If I ever actually get married I need everyone to know that @onehtl1ama.bsky.social and I will do a couples dance to Cotton Eyed Joe, and you aren't invited.

Literally no one is better at the mental gymnastics of weaponized incompetence than my brother and it pisses me tf off every time I'm home. I get so irritated watching him avoid doing the things my mom asks that I just do them myself, and then I'm the bad guy for making him look bad. 🙄

Trying to read my book at home, and my family is doing the annoying thing where they not only are trying to talk to me, but around me and it's so annoying.

Something else weird about BookTok is the tradition of putting a Playlist in for reading. Like, maybe I'm just old and set in my ways and musical taste, but the vast majority of these songs are not good??

May have been overly ambitious checking out 4 books from the library to finish in two weeks like I'm still capable of reading at the rate I did in high school or something.

BookTok is personally annoying to me because it has become 1,000% more difficult to buy a NON-smut romance for my mother and she ALWAYS asks for books as gifts.

"CDC is over": RFK Jr. lays off over 1,000 employees in Friday night massacre Amid the ongoing shutdown, the HHS secretary wiped out entire offices that investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses and collect data.

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

If I lost my retainer I am going to be PISSED.

Winning against my stalker is an NFL victory I didn't anticipate, but I love it.

Now I KNOW I did not just get an ad to come work for ICE on my own Pandora radio??

Watching a TV show and knowing that I have a good relationship with my mom because she never tried to drug me against my will, whilst simultaneously noting I am a TERRIBLE mother because I routinely drug my cat against her will is a stark reminder of me being unfit for motherhood.

I know my downstairs neighbor has bladder cancer, which is shitty. I just wish my bathroom didn't smell like weed all the time now.

Gonna choose to delusionally believe that choosing not to have children makes up ecologically for the fact that I work in an industry that necessitates single use plastics.

Okay, but why is this construction guy at my office fine as shit though??

Looking in my stationary box for a birthday card for a friend and coming across the Father's Day card I bought for my Dad in 2022 but didn't get to give him because that was the day we found out he was being moved to hospice was a sucker punch I wasn't emotionally prepared to deal with.

My middle brother and his family have gotten real church-y the last 2 years in a way he has never been in his entire life, even when we were growing up in the church, and I cannot help but feel very suspicious about it. Less Jesus church, more MAGA church vibes. Living on high alert.

Being the first of your friend generation to lose a Dad, to lose any parent, is both my greatest pain and greatest honor. It is a gift to support my friends through a hell I have already survived.

Heard a strange child's voice in my apartment and had a minor freakout before I remembered I opened my windows to get a breeze while I was cleaning. Ghost children are the worst.

Honestly, I feel for his family, but I'm too exhausted from just trying to survive to pretend I really care much about someone dying who actively advocated for me to lose my rights to my own bodily autonomy and felt like a loss of life to gun violence was worth it to maintain 2A. So RIP or whatever.

Two Democratic legislators were shot, along with their spouses.

Even their dog was shot.

One had to dive on top of their child to protect them.

Trump didn’t attend the funeral. There was no widespread condemnation of political violence.

The culture must change and gun control is long overdue

There are three deaths that will stop my day in its tracks and they are my Mama, Dolly Parton, and Willie Nelson.
