I’ve desperately needed to organize my Gmail account for months. Right now I’m in anticipatory anxiety mode about tonight (it’s good!) and what do you know, I just organized the account 😂

Last week I decided to make a breakup playlist and it turned out to just be Lord Huron songs

This is a significant takeaway imo. Slop isn't a communication strategy.

“america has FALLEN” and it’s just a guy saying “no one should have to choose between food and rent” are these people okay

You know when you're having a conversation with someone but the only person you want to be talking to right now isn't the one you're talking to, and you halfheartedly continue talking to the person you're actually having a conversation with while thinking "ugh I really wish this wasn't you" ????

Withholding money for food and finding money for every unnecessary thing is what sparked the French Revolution. Literally.

*chugs coffee* why am I so anxious

These [checks notes] white guys at [checks notes] an academic center at Princeton who write for [checks notes] Jacobin sure have ideas about who the real working class are

The plagiarism machine that’s mostly wrong and consumes lakes would like you to get a low flow toilet

But Trump gets a ballroom and Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout

My first husband died 8.5 years ago and I just cried because I just saw a Whole Foods in DC playing the Cal-Virginia Tech football game on TV and he’s the only one who would truly understand all the ways this makes me feel. These moments are rare—the gut punch, the tears— but they do still happen.

Controversial? 🤭 But she absolutely deserved better than a broken empath who was still hung up on his serial killer ex boyfriend who was writing him letters from jail

This morning I woke up and immediately realized that it’s going to be one of those days where I have trouble controlling my emotions and it’s going to be utterly exhausting. I prefer to be able to compartmentalize but if I wake up like this I’m cooked 🙃🥲 Does anyone else experience this 😂

New episode of Future Imperfect out! @lollardfish.bsky.social and @profgabriele.com explain who the Carolingians were. I discover I am VERY INTO bits of history where everyone is known by faintly insulting epithets (Louis the Bald, Louis the Fat, Charles the Simple). shows.acast.com/future-imper...

In 2023 I rage-deleted my OG Twitter account after my best friend and I broke up in spectacular fashion on a street in Berlin. We’d met on Twitter and that plus Elon had me in the mood to burn bridges. However, I am such an archivist that I now regret that permanent decision. 😭

The best thing that happened today is that I was walking down the street and there was a Cuomo campaign flyer on the ground and I stepped on his face

I HATE BASEBALL 😭😭😭😭

I feel a lot of second-hand embarrassment for people who appear in Cuomo's campaign ads.

How every state in the US teaches about feudalism. A New post from me and @profgabriele.com, along with access to a slideshow and spreadsheet with more info. 24 states REQUIRE feudalism. 8 suggest feudalism. Feudalism, ICYMI, is not a real thing. Click, read, share, subscribe (it's free!).

I love how during October in New York you never know whether the guy dressed as a knight in Prospect Park or the man waiting to cross the street in Bed-Stuy wearing a billowing red cape are wearing costumes or just being themselves

the "long eighteenth century" strikes again, as we learn how easily we acquired a king #18c

I’m seeing more and more executive assistant positions posted online that REQUIRE the use of generative AI to perform job duties. This goes against my personal code of ethics and I hate it here

I had a meeting with a recruiter at a staffing agency this morning and it was as very depressing. I’m so frustrated and angry and upset that I’m listening to metal. Who knew that the thing that finally got me into metal would be the 2025 job market 😂😂😂

the DB in D.B Cooper stands for Drum & Bass

Hope everyone here in BlueSky-land is doing well! As well as we can in the hellhole that is the United States anyway ♥️♥️♥️

It should not be harder for me to find a job now than it was when I graduated with my first BA in 2006. It just shouldn’t. But here we are, 75-100 applications in and no response.

if there isn't a statue to the Fuck ICE Frog when this is over then we've failed as a society

Every time I go to Trader Joe’s in Brooklyn they’re sold out of my favorite lentil wrap. Today I vowed to get here in time, before they were sold out. And there were TWO LEFT! I AM NOW THE REASON THEY ARE SOLD OUT!!! Success!!!!

Couldn’t they just let Luigi go free as a little treat

This morning I saw a reel of people showing a raccoon footage of 9/11 and everyone’s asking what I’m laughing about and I’m like nothing 🫣

Today’s adventure!

These pics were a great idea. And I don’t even look bad in them 😂

I had a great time at the Law & Order popup at Rockefeller Center today!

Tinder diaries: oh cool, another gross guy Super Liked me

My one complaint about most cute coffee shops is that they only have one size for a latte and it’s not big enough for me 😂😩 So I get a latte and start working and then I’m done with the latte but I’m still exhausted and wish I had more latte but won’t spend another $8 for a second one

Just quoted Hannibal and Bedelia in my diary entry for today, lol. Not sure what that says about my life 😂 It was: “You’re obsessed with Will Graham.” “I’m intrigued.” “Obsessively.”

Reminder that the term “ethnic cleansing” was coined as a workaround to avoid declaring a genocide. Words hold weight and genocide is the heaviest. And often most appropriate.

Seriously. Fuck these fascists. Join a No Kings protest on October 18 and stand up for our rights and our democracy.

Tinder Diaries: why do people who like fishing keep liking me? Fishing is a red flag 🚩😂

The show was amazing 😭😭😭😭 I can’t believe I live in New York

My first decision in NYC: Lorde @ MSG. So excited! Two of her songs have become 2025 anthems of mine, one in particular (see previous post about yearning). Can’t wait to hear them tonight 😭😭 (back to back)

Current status: trying to romanticize yearning

I saw someone at the Alaska Airlines check in counter this morning wearing three (3) cowboy hats. It’s rough out there

The other day I decided to cyberstalk myself since I hadn’t done that in years. I found my old mastodon account and had a great time reading it. It was banger after banger! I used to be funnier and I really need to recapture my whimsy 😩 It also showed just how much of an alcoholic I was though 😔
