Rescheduled my performance review at work so I could watch the gold medal game for women’s hockey today 💯

got my first computer in maybe ten years and now i have like 20,000 photos to go through and either delete or save 🫠 the backup hard drive i have hasn't been plugged into anything for like 15 years lol so idk if it will even work. i'm great with technology 😵‍💫

combination of reading "something in the woods loves you" and "the book of delights" is slowly restoring my will to live

I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.

I've heard several stories of profs and students quitting or dropping out because of long COVID or the risk of contracting COVID in a space that hasn't done anything to improve ventilation or make any changes to precautions to protect people.

women's olympics hockey and hudson williams currently the only things keeping me going

was not expecting so much nausea with the grief

I had a dream that I adopted a rabbit from someone and she told me I had to give the rabbit "7 premium salads a day". I have had a rabbit before and this is very not true lol, one "premium" salad is plenty 😜

Women’s US hockey playing freebird when they score is so embarrassing

Watching the Olympics women’s hockey and everything I know about the rules has either been dragged from my high school memory or I’ve had to look up, love that I learned not a single thing from heated rivalry about hockey

A brief moment of joy, thank you Bad Bunny

We had to say goodbye to our 16 year old dog yesterday, I’m literally nauseous from grief

I can tell I’m not doing well cuz I keep thinking about rewatching the x files 😂, have thought “maybe I’ll just watch the pilot” a few too many times

I forgot about compression gloves and that I own them and should wear them more 🫠

Watched Bridgerton and it was uhhh not great so I’m forced to watch Heated Rivalry again 🤷🏻‍♂️

oh no a coworker i actually like is leaving and having a goodbye thing at a bar, i might actually have to go be social 🙃

My work is starting to talk about retreats again and I just can’t comprehend wanting to drive 2 hours to stay at a hotel and hang out with coworkers. And then I’m like ‘oh yeah work is not great then’ lol. like I would be happy to do this at some old jobs 🫠

deleted my tiktok, a little sad about it but i haven't been on there since the whole trump deal bullshit. i know meta isn't much better but pick your poison i guess. i did join upscrolled, same username

Wow they did not make it easy to delete TikTok jfc

This is the updated, more organized & better than ever way to help in Mpls/ St Paul/ Greater MN. Taking submissions on the site & everything. Look for the ones with non-English language & unfunded, small amounts because they're not getting the love they need.

Mutual Aid by Dean Spade is free on Libro for the next week (until 2/2).  We know that books can't fix everything, but they can help us show up for and strengthen our communities. Our employee book club read this last year, leading to a great discussion. We hope that it helps others do the same 💗 ⏬

Yes, literally.

getting bisexual rep in queer media is so great and then the fandom is like HE IS EITHER STRAIGHT OR GAY 😵‍💫 so fucking exhausting

ok turns out i'm just getting a new boss, again. but good thing they made everyone spiral for two days from a vague email! 😵‍💫

Phil Collins: "I got COVID in hospital. My kidneys started to back up, you know, everything that started that could, all seemed to converge at the same time.” He joins a LONG LIST of high-profile individuals who are now disabled since Covid began. consequence.net/2026/01/phil...

last minute friday at 3pm meeting called for my department titled "unit alignment" so uhhhh fingers crossed we aren't going the way of the engineers jfc

People who don’t know how to make a PDF: “AI is inevitable.”

had a work meeting where someone said AI is just as inevitable as Facebook was when it first started. not seeing the irony there at all, like facebook is pretty much useless now lol

my work is just a sinking ship, every day something new gets set on fire. they laid off all the engineers and created new engineering positions that pay less, those laid off engineers can apply for those jobs or stay on to train the new people. BRUTAL.

Got my partner to watch one episode of Heated Rivalry cuz it’s my birthday Me: “so you’ll watch gay pirates and gay hobbits but not gay hockey players?” Him: “yes, I like ROMANTASY, not romance” He literally just learned the word romantasy like two days ago 🙄

Told my partner I bought myself two bird shirts for my birthday and made him guess which two birds and that fucker guessed right 😂 I like a lot of birds! And he guessed the two! So weird to be known so well 😭

Sharing again for the midday crowd Please help Natives in Minneapolis

Don’t wanna leave the house but must leave the house or I’ll lose it

took the last two days off to let my hands rest from a pain flare, but now i have to work when i just want to listen to the heated rivalry soundtrack 😩

Finished reading Heated Rivalry, idk why I didn’t just buy The Long Game too 🫠

why be hydrated when you could just drink more coffee and be more anxious

These two just deadlifting American society right now

a bunch of my neighbors check my little free library every single time they walk by it 🥰 like on their daily walks and they stop just in case. i'm a good librarian 🏆🥰

Look at the hundreds of people in that community in Minneapolis who ran TOWARDS the danger. Look at those who documented in their heads what happened so they could accurately recount it afterwards, look at those currently out protesting. Pay attention & do your part too.

Human brains feed off of negativity. Negative thoughts are easily digested and play in a loop in your mind all of the time. The reality, however, is that there is also A LOT OF GOOD happening every single minute. You have to do more work to pay attention to the good but it's worth it.

binging heated rivalry was a much better retreat from reality than binging the pitt. wow what was i thinking. back to binging heated rivalry

Can’t believe I have to go to work where none of my coworkers know what heated rivalry is

Ok I finished Heated Rivalry, I’m ready for tumblr now

my top fiction books of 2025 are all books i have physical copies of except i lent one of them to a friend so i can't take a photo of the whole stack 😭 now i have to create a wrap up in canva, boooo

Back to work today

Thinking of this, and remembering that our administration refused to even negotiate on increasing student health resources when we fought for our first contract. But we have an AI center now.

Arguing with my partner over who is hotter David Corenswet or Henry Cavill even tho before I saw Superman I couldn’t tell them apart 😂
