Do not shrink yourself in order to make others feel comfortable.

Vitamin Ski

Honestly, the little details make all the difference.

I like to live dangerously

I had a professional meeting the other day. The CEO & I sat down at the table, & he immediately looked me in the eyes & said, “So, I hear you’re kind, not nice.” I responded, “Not only do I feel incredibly seen right now, but that’s one hell of a compliment.” (I got the offer.)

U avail? Nope, I'm in the middle of No Kings training and Nonviolent Resistance training.

I’ll lose followers for this but IDC. Stop sleeping with men who support any part of this. They don’t deserve access to you.

Bluebird days

We’ll make our mundane a masterpiece

Vegas, you’re delicious

I usually don’t broadcast when I do charitable things, but I’m breaking with convention to tell you that I donated to the TJ Sabula GoFundMe, and I’d buy that man a beer in a heartbeat.

When your young niece wakes you up early to play fish on the kitchen floor, is there really any other answer?

I hope your winter solstice was as wonderful as mine! Here’s to: - Intention - Ceremony - Elements - Community - Love

Somebody on OF said they found me here. I didn’t realize people were really, actually using this place. Hi.

The fact that my “Top Song” on my Spotify Wrapped is one I listened to only 14 times in 2025 tells you how “consistent” I am with music. As with most things, I’ll take eclectic variety, thank you very much.

I put red and green light bulbs in my driveway sconces because I’m being festive. I almost stopped after the first one because I thought it would be more honest.

Why am I so reluctant/reticent to come over here? The other app is dying, and unless something dramatic changes, it feels unsalvageable. But there are 13+ years of Andra over there, and the idea of starting over is exhausting. I don’t want another account to maintain. Am I the only one feeling this?

Me: “I don’t have ADHD.” Also me: [spends Friday night sorting every nut and bolt into hundreds of tackle box compartments]

Walk this way

My therapist looked at me w/ compassion & said, “At a certain point, if we’re vulnerable with the wrong people, we’re just teaching them how to hurt us,” & now I can’t shake it & kind of want to throw things. Do you ever have those moments? What zingers have hit YOU sideways?

We all need more days like this

I know nothing about that

Good morning, sunshine!

Don’t know if this is an INTJ thing or spillover from SW, but… Me as a consultant: “Effectiveness is more important than efficiency.” Me w/ acquaintances/prior civ colleagues: “No, I’m not driving across town to ‘catch up,’ b/c I have a lot on my plate & that’s inefficient.”

Best views in the house

I don’t want a Labubu. That sounds like something to put a Bandaid on. I do, however, have a WL full of great books that I’d like to read. I’ll gladly take a Labookbook. (My wishlist link is in my bio)

Every day is legs day

Stop letting people make you think your intuition is wrong. That gut instinct is part of millions of years of evolution. It’s a gift.

If your account is nothing but AI thirst traps, I will block you. I have no patience for bot self-promotion on my feed.

Unedited: I want people to understand how lighting, pose, angle, etc. change what we perceive as real. Small shifts mean butts flatten, skin/fat rolls, stomachs poof, boobs flatten/turn into triangles (IYKYK)… Sexy ≠ lack of perceived “flaws.” They’re not flaws. They’re NORMAL

Good morning!

I worked my butt off on Fanfix for the first couple of months, making $8500 in Aug & $7500 in Sep. But in truth, it was grueling and depleted me, & I have struggled to force myself back (I've made <$800 on FF in Oct). I'm stuck between "not all money is good money" and "no excuses."

My knees said no, lol

I've neglected Bluesky over the past few months. I'm tired of social media, and I'm juggling a lot. But it's also become apparent with recent changes on X that this space is important, so let's see if I can stick it out better this time...

Final check-up! He scolded me for wearing sandals and says I need to stay in supportive sneakers for another 2.5 more months (I’m trying to be a good patient, but let’s be real: that’s not going to happen), but my foot recovery is looking great!

I really dislike animal print, but I really like this swimsuit. Honest feedback only: Can I wear this in public, or only if I’m being Bam Bam from the Flintstones for Halloween?

This way up

Is this what it means to bootstrap?

I hope plump bodies can be appreciated after this cultural preoccupation with Ozempic. Everybody being skinny is boring. Variety is underrated.

Not all who wander are lost

Bougie pet peeve: I hate when spas put a spray bottle of eucalyptus spritz in their steam shower instead of actually infusing the steam with eucalyptus. In keeping with my typical “heat and steam should be crucibles!” theme, I vote for menthol that pierces my lungs, lol

A 34-count convicted felon who pardoned cop killers and rioters now talking about “law and order” is some next level gaslighty BS

Motivation Monday: Nothing changes if nothing changes. Choose mindfully.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is sit in a patch of sunlight and exist.

Just tealing it like it is Linktr.ee/andraporter

I’m feeling really demoralized. It’s been 4.5 weeks of no walking on this foot. I miss the active/outdoor activities I enjoy, being able to do things for myself, and just having everything not be a momentous task. These follow-up x-rays do not seem promising. Appointment tomorrow.

Feeling hot, hot, hot

Looking for a Holy Grail accountant/CPA, who is well versed in working with ALL of the following: - 🌶️ work (1099, Schedule C) - Multiple vanilla Schedule C companies/income/regulations - Multiple Schedule E properties/income/regulations Please send recommendations!

I honestly think I’m over vacations that don’t include re-integration downtime prior to coming back to everyday life. I should feel refreshed and re-invigorated after a vacation, not exhausted and overwhelmed.

Is anyone familiar with the Kristen Bell sloth video? I definitely had a Kristen Bell sloth moment! I love these guys!
