Know what's fun? Seeing a post from a woman like me (only half-white) and hoping I'm white-passing enough to get me through the next few years. Existence isn't supposed to be this exhausting.

I bought a pair of pants that are comfy and so gloriously 90s that I promptly bought a second pair in another color. 😂

I haven't been sick since last June. And it was strep courtesy of my students. I finally got a cold and I am on the struggle bus. Gotta get thru a meeting today too. 😭

I believe my brother in law is going to Japan with us now. This is his first trip out of the country. We get to do this with him!

I love that during a video chat with our friends I ended up venting a little, then apologizing cuz it was a lot. And one of them chimes in with, "you're in a safe space. I get it." I needed that acknowledgment. I didn't know it, but I needed it.

DUDE. These are actually stupid good. Shoutout to @skeletaldropkick.bsky.social for my "snaxolotl."

We had a perfect rainy day (almost nonstop rain) and I was stuck at work. That's a special kind of torture.

Happy birthday to my dear @ogmalcontent79.bsky.social I hope you have a great day!

Any of my ladies just have those days where it feels like makeup and hair don't make a difference? It's just an ugly day? Yeah that's me today. Happy Monday.

My husband said I need a new butter dish for my fancy French butter. I told him only if @skeletaldropkick.bsky.social starts making butter dishes. 😂

I broke a fucking nail and that sums up life right now.

A cozy Ashley getting ready for bed with some CBD.

Had to buy some random BINGO prizes and came across these. I feel @skeletaldropkick.bsky.social would approve.

I make jello shots for the SB party every year - one color for each team. Some years I get even amounts, some years I don't. This year I have noticeably more green ones... let's hope it's a sign.

The crowd at my "home base" bar is odd tonight.

Didn't expect to be a gin & tonic girl but here we are. Specifically Mermaid Zest Gin. It's delightful.

Have any #Marvel people found me? Because that Fantastic 4 trailer... 😍

My brother sent me this today. He's just my favorite.

Today's petty laugh comes to you courtesy of... My coworker who has her daughter signed up for Girl Scouts. The same coworker who drank the clown kool-aid has signed her daughter up for an organization with a trans-inclusive policy. 😂

Trying to menu plan for the week and it's very tempting just make pasta every day so I can eat my anxious feelings.

My dreams last night were BIZARRE and felt very long and played out like I was living a movie. Can't help but wonder if that was my ridiculous anxiety at bed time.

How are we all getting past the #bookhangover after #OnyxStorm cuz I don't know how to move on... #BookSky

When your brow girl says you have new growth and your skin is looking amazing. (As a victim of the 90s I live for new growth.)

I may post the same things here and on 🧵 because I perfected my feed over there and I want to feel that happy over here.

Spiraled with my students today about Disney villains and the part that made me laugh the most was when a kid raised his hand and very seriously said: But villains are bad. So you shouldn't like them. Bad guys aren't cool. Like, dude. I wish more people knew that.

Hi. It's still January. And tomorrow is only Thursday. I don't like it.

Hooray, getting another hormone-related headache! I guess it really is time to call my doctor and see what's available to me.

My brother just told me I don't just have teacher writing. I very specifically write like a kindergarten teacher. I mean, checks out. But now I want to see how all my coworkers write...

The eat my feelings mood was STRONG today. So I stopped at our Mexican supermarket and got their fresh chips, some refried beans (thank you in store taqueria), ceviche, and soooooo much pan dulce. Oh, and a couple tamales because I am not spending my energy making a whole batch.

Between stress and hormones and *gestures around* I'm in a very eat my feelings mood. I controlled it tonight, but I make no promises tomorrow.

I mixed two perfumes today and I'll have to write them down because I think I smell amazing.

Joy of joys, we discovered a plumbing problem yesterday. It seemed minor, called dad, he said he'd be here this morning. We snaked some drains... it's worse. So much worse. Now I'm PRAYING a plumber can come out tomorrow. Or I'm invading my parents' house for awhile.

I don't post a lot here yet. But I feel like y'all need to know i have a pickle shirt. Because it says a lot about who I am.

Hi. Still here. May start using it more. But will probably forget...

Have had the cough from hell since I got back from Aftershock last week. I *think* it's fi ally going away. Maybe my voice will go back to normal soon...

Hi. I'm here.
