I’ve been on the struggle bus for two years re: an in-house tool. For whatever reason, it changes times to my time zone instead of the time zone in the records. So if I need to pull records from LA, I have to *change my system clock* to Pacific Time. Then I have to remember to change it back.

Today marks two years at my job, which is the longest time I have ever held down a job. I was 100% convinced I would never be able to do this, but a lot of work on my mental health and getting properly diagnosed changed my world. AND I am killing it 💅🏻

Writing to the DMV like “hey can I get a picture reshoot because I lost enough weight that people don’t accept my license” (True story) Also got kiddo’s license test scheduled, a process so dystopian that it took me weeks to find the damn form on the site WHY DMV SO HARD

btw if you’re wondering where I’ve been, I took socials off my home screen I am not any better, but I’m definitely not WORSE, so that’s a win

This is so cute! They think all my fucking meds would fit in this thing!

I just saw an angelfish jizz on some fish eggs. Happy New Year!

If you try to shut me up re: disabilities or neurodiversity, I will be extremely obnoxious about the topic out of sheer spite 💖

There can be no social justice without disability justice. Yet too many people, even so called “progressives” are more than willing to leave disabled people behind. That’s why it’s so important that we take up space. That we don’t hide our suffering.

PSA ABOUT YOUR VAGINA if you have one: You probably know that antibiotics often cause yeast infections, which is miserable af. You may not know that you can be prescribed an antifungal oral medication like diflucan to prevent this. I repeat, antibiotic-induced yeast infections are *preventable*

YOU get the photo instead! I was very cold last night and then I woke up like this

- take picture - decide to post it to Instagram - oh my god what happened to Instagram - spend an hour making a reel bitching about all the ads - do not post picture

I PASSED WOO THIS BITCH HAS ✨CERTIFICATION✨ aceds.org/ceds-certifi...

Anyways I’ve been quiet on here because I really am at the end of my rope and doomscrolling is the opposite of self-care. I have a major certification exam on Tuesday so maybe getting that done will help. At least I get my score at the end so I’ll immediately know if I passed

When the algorithm makes you feel a little too Perceived

tfw you figure out why you feel shitty and it’s because your emotions are disregulated af and you are distancing yourself from everyone just to cope but also you do not have time for this, you need to keep up with life, chop chop bitch

Guys I just enforced my own boundary and did not upend my plans to people-please gold star for julie

“Brent Spine-less” GET HIS ASS

In case anyone wonders if I am avoiding them specifically: no. I am avoiding everyone equally 🫠 (I’m fine, I’m just really concentrating on one thing and that means everything else ceases to exist) (It’s the ADHD)

My non-social-media bestie sent us a gorgeous memorial sun catcher for Miley and now I am crying I will distract myself by saying we did NOT name her Miley, her previous family with Hannah Montana children did. This was before I knew that you can just train a dog on a new name. 😅

There’s an empty space on my couch and in my heart. Goodnight, slightly neurotic puppyball.

I have returned from Chicago TARDIS, where we had a short staff due to weather AND we had Christopher Eccleston. The weather also caused havoc with his schedule but the attendees were lovely and understanding. And yet, it was one of the smoothest cons we’ve ever done. 💖

Gonna flex about my spouse for a sec, because he was laid off on October 30 and hired today, November 25. Less than a month, with a pay bump and signing bonus. All he had to do was tell LinkedIn he was looking for work, because multiple former coworkers pounced on him 😂

Speaking of Wicked: the merch has been beyond ridiculous this time. And I did NOT buy the entire REM Beauty collection. In fact, the only Wicked thing I bought was a scrunchie 😂 …and the deodorant lmao

UGH FINE I WILL BUY YOUR STUPID GODDAMN FUNKOS, IT TOOK FIFTEEN YEARS BUT YOU FINALLY GOT ME

CONVENTION FUN Me: I need a fridge. It has to be a French door fridge. PTB: ok <one month later> Me: hey just checking in, reminder I need a French door fridge PTB: [no answer] <two weeks later> PTB: how about this one Me: that’s a minifridge that had a growth spurt

Meanwhile on Threads: @juliamacfarlane.bsky.social had the absolute laziest, tired trope about “knitting is a granny hobby” and got so roasted she turned off all her comments, reposts, and mentions. (TIL you can do that on Threads) Now she is crying that knitters are mean. 😂

omg this company performance appraisal training has 1940s music leading up to the start of the meeting, like a bizarro world livestream i approve

Time from “spouse laid off” to “spouse third interview:” less than three weeks Legit he is so fucking talented. His network of former coworkers were like “sweet I was hoping I could poach you” When one of your top selling points is “I enjoy lessening technical debt” you get bombarded lol

Laying down after taking a shower, washing your hair, and getting dressed it is POTS nirvana

#FALLOUT 2 TRAILER SPOILERS IF THERE IS SUCH A THING I love how they just dropped alllll the fan bait. Deathclaw! Power fist! Securitrons! Holy shit that’s a supermutant tease! Ceaser’s Legion! The Kings are all ghouls? Mr. House! Maybe alive!* Macaulay Culkin! wait what (He’s in the cast!)

okay. I am gonna fucking pay for an etsy witch.

found out I missed a week of Vyvanse. I wonder what week it was 🤔 I'm guessing it was the one where I was waaaay oversensitive and everything was a crisis and I couldn't get any work done.

the northern lights are bisexual

y’all Aurora in Aurora

Okay Joyce Carol Oates has her… problems, but goddamn this is straight Luigi-level shit and I am here for it

DANGER HAIR IS BACK, BITCHES

I’m two hops away from Hugh Hefner, which makes me three hops away from every famous person in a 50-year span

Going to a ✨legal leadership✨ conference. I got an email that says “use the Hamburger University entrance” because of course there’s one, ma’am, this is a McDonalds (headquarters)

tfw I see a headline in @abovethelaw.com and say “ @lizdye.bsky.social wrote this” and then I’m right (Hey Liz, this is jurijuri, what’s up)

The IL general assembly just passed legislation that would: - ban ICE from making arrests at/near courthouses -protect hospital patients -protect students and student data -affirms (AGAIN) that ICE is legally banned from daycares without a real warrant Headed to Pritzker. Not worried there. 🙌

Okay that’s it, I’m at my breaking point and need to be off bsky for a bit. Love y’all.

Given how ICE’s escalating tactics correspond with my escalating correspondence with my mental health professionals: yup

In case you didn’t know from all my posting yesterday: I live here. ICE raids are literally surrounding me. Nobody is safe, including protestors, uninvolved bystanders, and random people ICE hits with their cars. Obviously anyone that doesn’t pass the paper bag test is in the most danger; see below

I did not know Bluebook slap fights were a thing but now they are my favorite thing

Waiting to hear back from a doctor means answering all your phone calls Person: I’m here to inform you of your new Medicare benefits— Me, talking over them: TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST

Okay so let’s play catch-up with this week - husband needed emergency root canal - I narrowly avoided being pepper gassed - ICE put three families’ worth of kids in imminent danger near me - Spouse was laid off just now - urgent call to psychiatrist placed

Hey folks, it’s COVID and flu season. You should wear a mask to protect your health, the health of those around you, and unlawful activity by the gestapo

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

Palate cleanser. Bravo, this Bill DeBlasio and only this Bill DeBlasio
