I think I have a sinus infection 😣

Has the seasonal depression started already or is it this unrelenting news cycle?

I generally like being short, except a lot of clothing I want to wear is really for tall people. Or people without curves.

Starbucks workers are ON STRIKE! Now is the time to tell everyone in your life to STOP BUYING Starbucks. www.nocontractnocoffee.org?utm_source=s...

Over 14,000 Starbucks workers have unionized since 2021, but they still don’t have a union contract because of Starbucks’ stalling. That’s why we, @jayapal.house.gov, & over 80 Members of Congress are calling on Starbucks to stop union-busting & reach a contract with @sbworkersunited.org

The number of anti-trans podcasts I found when doing a simple search is shocking and disgusting.

I like Wednesday for the most part, but hate how they’ve written Morticia & the mother/daughter relationship. Feels extremely basic.

I’m on PTO this week but I caught a cold on Friday and threw my back out coughing in the shower. This is why I don’t take vacation.

I finally figured out why I don’t like most modern YA and books involving relationships: communication problems are a major component of the plot. As an autistic person, I deal with misunderstandings a lot and they are deeply distressing. I don’t want to read about them!

I finally watched Wicked and I looooooved it.

I finished the r/fantasy bingo challenge 4.5 months early. What now?!

I would love more support in parenting my PDA kid but this random person working with the school district is not it. I don’t need to add “teaching the district’s social emotional coach what NOT to do with PDA” to my list of jobs.

Good election news 🎉

How are people supposed to afford attorney fees??? I want to know.

The Dungeon Crawler Carl graphic novel campaign is now in overtime mode! The backer train has been going strong since 10am PT and will keep going as long as pledges happen every 10 minutes. How long can it keep going?? www.backerkit.com/c/projects/v...

What if I took up whittling? I want to peel some layers.

Trying to help your kid through social stuff when you also struggle with social stuff is SO PAINFUL.

Apologies for all the memes I sent to friends while I spent 1.5 hours waking up for the day.

I was on the phone with my mom for 40 minutes before she mentioned that my brother was in the ER. That woman is so strange.

Good grief. I just got an email from Dez’s school inviting me to an “Emotional Learning Program - a space designed to strengthen the partnership between home, school, and community so that every child can reach their fullest potential.” Hahaha, who the hell thought I should be on that invite list?!

Watching Home Alone with Dez and someone says the cost of a pizza is $12… Me: Oh my gosh, do you know how much pizza is now?? Dez: $35 or something? Me: Pretty close. I paid $28 the other day! Dez: Damn! That’s inflation or something!!!

Them: How are you? Me: Doing pretty alright! No anxiety attacks in days! 30 mins later: *anxieteeeeee*

Random shit etched into my brain: - Watching my first Alanis music video (You Outta Know). - Walking to my house from my grandma’s just to check the mail (I wanted surveys). - That day I had to clean the coffee shop with a horrific hangover. - That time I burned myself with a lighter (~age 5).

I need to read a book about Gods or Pantheons and I don’t care for the subject matter. Any recs? Maybe something funny…

Been staying home and doing some heavy self-care. So I’ve finished 4 books in the last week.

I’m so glad I finished my audiobook last night, because Hoopla is down with the AWS outage.

Singing Opalite to my cat

I don’t understand why people who hire me to run their ads give me worse creative than what they are using themselves.

Accidentally reading 2 romantasy books. 🫤

Blood Over Bright Haven was fucking fantastic!

Now accepting any and all tips on helping a kid through a divorce.

Kickstarter workers, organized with @opeiulocal153.bsky.social, are on strike to maintain a four-day workweek and win living wages for all. #UnionStrong

I have calcific tendinopathy in my hip joint and it’s making it painful to even take walks. I could use some exercise to deal with stress, but what kiiiiiind??

Trying to embody a sense of calm about whether my kid goes to school. He hasn’t been back since that brief stint last Wednesday. Progress isn’t linear though, right?? (I am not calm. I am tied up in knots just like I was when this started last year.)

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️ As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

I wanted to check out a Netflix show with Dez so I told him Elon Musk didn’t want us to watch it (which is true) and now he’s all in.

After roughly 18 months at home due to severe autistic burnout, my 11yo went back to public school today (his own choice).

One of my favorite reads this year was Dungeon Crawler Carl. I’m so excited to be working on marketing for this campaign! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/v...

Depression sucks

If you're in Berkeley or Santa Cruz, this is your chance to see me along with some other great peeps. Weirdly, this is the first thing I've done in the East Bay in a long time, and I hardly ever make it down to Santa Cruz... Please tell your peeps!!!

The subtle art of doing laundry only once a month.

Worst Friday: migraine, power outage, meeting with school, meeting with big client, Facebook ads manager blips…

The Luigi Mangione musical was fantastic.

Desmond is sleeping in his bed for the first time in 17 months. 🎉

Just watched Caught Stealing. Someone give that cat an Oscar.

Can you define “romantic attraction” without using the word ‘romantic?’

My nose ring is back in!

Getting an X-ray of my hips. I hope they find something, but that it’s a fixable thing (or treatable with meds).
