HEY SIRI PLAY "LOSE MY BREATH" because AAAAAYYYEEE

tell them you'll sit on them. tell them you'll sit on them and then they'll do whatever you want

oop, well now

the trick to flirting is wordplay. you're not charming bc you're not witty. read a book and do vocabulary drills

also like, if you just got out of a relationship? go out. go to that play. fill up your social calendar. don't sit in the house sad sacking. get out!!

I had a black & tan for the first time in a while and the way I went 👄on that first sip boyyyeeeee

tfw you have to respond to a production email but you don't want to hit reply all but you also don't know who needs to be on the thread by name alone bc you've only been in the room twice since rehearsal started #fightdirectorlife

well i'm single now, so if any of you were waiting in the wings now's your chance i guess. otherwise i'm going to go to therapy

unwell

the way all the white people on the internet need a "girl, what?" rn. cause how we still on the "we were better than this" ride

ok so i wasn't expecting wicked: for good to get ENTIRELY shut out. why was the sweater not nominated

you: Americans are hated around the world me, an old person who grew up during the bush era, lighting your cigarette: first time?

sometimes working out looks like a matching two piece set and sometimes working out is wearing fuzzy socks, your sleeping scarf, and a dragon onesie. just move man

this came from me suggesting a valentine's day themed baby "sprinkle" and the co-org was like "but she's having a boy?" and i sent her a gif of pride and prejudice but now i'm considering just printing out images of romantic dudes in media and making that the theme tbh

ROMANCE THE MEN. WHY CAN'T THEY GET THE ROMANCE? HM? WE WANT BRIDGERTON MEN BUT THEN WE DON'T LET THEM READ AND THEN THEY ARE BRUTES. ROMANCE THEM. (and rob the deserving)

constitution.congress.gov/browse/amend... constitution.congress.gov/browse/amend...

the way my nervous system needs a fucking break, man

"this year has barely opened its eyes and yet i am weary of its months; i eagerly anticipate a fresh winter, where i have come through this changed and complete, ready to rest and begin again when the shoots of spring crack the earth, joyously bringing a fresh year with them" - me in the shower

so i have had an equal parts emotionally draining and fulfilling weekend. i watched Bridgerton season 3 in one sitting. plz suggest romances that are not heated rivalry (bc it's already on the list) books are also welcome

IT DIDN'T WIN! GOLDEN DESERVED IT!!! YESSSSS if you come across this and you're mad that i'm cheering SHUT UP! ACCEPT THAT THEY WERE LYRICALLY WEAKER THAN GOLDEN, WHICH IS ENGINEERED TO BE AN INFECTIOUS POP SONG, AND IT COULDN'T EVEN *CLEAR THAT BAR WITH A POP SINGER IN THE CAST*!! STFU ARGUE W/GOD

dentologie is the foxtrot of dentist's offices. i am a philosopher

you mean to fucking tell me that if i *WAS* an 8am start girlie i COULD HAVE RUN INTO JONATHAN BAILEY AT MY OFFICE'S COFFEE BAR TODAY?!?

art, really 📸: Tyler Pasciak LaRiviere for the Chicago Sun-Times

just meditated cross-legged so i could stretch my hip flexors and breathe into my back to help after taking midol and smoking a joint the pain has barely been touched TAKE IT OUT AND LEAVE MY OVARIES OR TAKE *ME* OUT AND DO ME LIKE OLD YELLER

i need this timeline to straighten out so we can fund medical research so there's more money in reproductive health so I CAN GET RELIEF FROM THESE FIBROIDS (fucking hell!! take them out i want them gone even if i wanted kids this pain made me change my mind years ago)

congrats to the vatican it's da pope's win as much as chicago's

i was so annoyed at the fireworks but then i opened the phone. oh! this does warrant a noise violation. congrats to ursa majors, you are friend shaped and needed this w #BearsDown

I love how this Bears team refuses to play football until 55 minutes into the game. Disney-ass team.

after the overwhelm of last year i committed to re-engaging with the art community in a more holistic way this year. i just finished a virtual skill sharing workshop about radical participatory art. even if i don't use it now, learning how to do it is just as good for the brain. go learn!!!!

UGH. like i said, I've moved to upscrolled.

one of the things that i didn't know was a DC/MD thing until i moved away was go-go. it's a very "home" thing for me

idc how old i get i'm always going to mentally resist the wash day where i gotta change the sheets. i don't LIKE dealing with the FITTED SHEET, man

first contract of the year booked! i want yummy takeout to celebrate

woke up so mad about everything I sent an email to my senators (and called the one that's not retiring) and said "abolish ICE, impeach Kristi, say it on tv, abolish ICE" over and over for 30 seconds. you don't have to be poised and coherent anymore just irritate tf outta them tbh

they will never be done with me. they will always come to me. i will become the sad show gun girl of chicago. i accept this

gym weebs are the dangerous ones bc they're so RIPPED and they are so NICE most of the time. like man get away from me i will DATE you

first 4-day w2 job workweek in the bag. initial reactions to this change: WHATEVER WHITE EUROPEAN COUNTRY WE ENVY FOR DOING THIS, WE ARE RIGHT TO ENVY. THIS SLAPS AND IS DOING WONDERS FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH AND EVERY CORPORATE JOB SHOULD DO THIS tysm that is all

don't go back! DON'T YOU DARE GO BACK. their CEO is still on their miliary AI bullshit and they still underpay artists!!! everyone else does wraps now. you can get your little 2026 recap someone else. HOLD THIS LINE AND BANKRUPT THESE FUCKS.

just gonna leave this here for those who need it as a reply to people's pearl clutching. irl i have resorted to going "Welcome!" in the most saccharine, customer-service economy voice i have when i am around white people processing bc i don't have space anymore

the thing that makes me craziest about what we've been collectively going through since 11/24 (fr) is how the status quo still remains. we've gone full authoritarian yet the us system demands the same output when it's also killing us.

white men go to therapy challenge

Hang in, Minneapolis! Love, Chicago

just used the word "spoon" as an insult. you're welcome for the diss of the year

seriously if you consider yourself someone's friend and you do not full-throat cheer them on, hoot an' holler and stamp your feet when they get a win in their life, you're the one that the groupchat has side convos about bc ur an unsupported hussy!! I AM PROUD OF MY FRIENDS BE PROUD OF YOUR FRIENDS

Read a thing on here semi-recently that was like "The difference between actual artists and sloppers is that the real artists will talk your ear off about their blorbos at the slightest excuse because they are always thinking about this stuff, and slop is thoughtless" And wow do I feel that.

i am so sad. i really wish i didn't need a day job.
