i'm not necessarily an optimist, but by god does spite keep me afloat despite The Horrors™️ sometimes

i need a moratorium on things happening to me STAT

took some progress pics to remind myself progress is happening

Can't wait for the next season of White Lotad

they are my new best friends and i love them

thought you probably needed to see this

every tmnt magic card i am subjected to takes at least three hours off my life

big day for me, personally

having a very "every day i get emails" monday

Happy Zelda 40th anniversary!

🚨important update🚨 i got a haircut

“That’s right, take the picture. Take the picture, take the picture, take the goddam picture. Take my soul too while you’re at it.” Carol needed a cigarette. “I give and I give and what’s left of me at the end of the night isn’t worth the nylon fibers of a bargain basement chew toy.”

after a bit of a nightmare week, i'm ending on some good news: i got clearance to transfer my law license and be admitted to the colorado bar 🥳

i have completed the corporate cliche circle. i lost my travel coffee mug bc i forgot it was on top of my car when i started driving home 😔

nothing more humbling than having a tech issue first thing in the morning. even worse, it was an "unplug it and plug it back in" issue.

feeling better today, and i look nice. i am god's favorite angel.

annnddddd had a package stolen. today is just incredible, no notes.

simply LOVE being under immense time pressure at work! one of my favorite things and i definitely DON'T feel like i'm about to pull all my hair out! 🤩

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with. this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

violently woken up early against my will* *got called by the car technician coming to fix my windshield, for the appointment i scheduled earlier this week. also it's 9am and the sun is VERY up.

work project i was assigned basically right when i started bc it was supposed to be simple has been dragging out and getting more complicated every time i think i'm almost done and it's getting incredibly tempting to simply walk into the mountains and disappear

had to give a presentation this morning and i've gotten several compliments from coworkers about my public speaking skills 🥹

happy birthday to my wonderful beautiful boyfriend who i love very much

oh thank god, i have missed the post workshop/vault of unhinged nonsense 😌

it's my one in-office day for the week!

QTP with your favorite video game villain in a gif if you can!

i'm getting edits/feedback on a project due at the end of the week instead of being told "you're so beautiful and good at your job, this is perfect and you can take the rest of the week off!" 😔

everybody be cool about how much i spent on magic cards today. i am very cool and normal when i pick up new hobbies!

Catherine O’Hara gave us all so much. Her comedy inspired me. Her characters served as proxy mothers for many of us. All of our lives, and our culture more broadly, are better because of her life and work.

heartbreaking: my overnight oatmeal is really gross today 😔

the way harry styles can simultaneously be so loud and so quiet when he sings...it needs to be studied

grateful for getting to dress up like a fancy adult for work every day

nothing like barely dodging crashing out entirely just when i was starting to feel better

a not insignificant number of people on Threads seem to believe the snow storm was The Government's attempt to refreeze the Leviathan, the world-eating serpent, which was getting loose (to eat the world, I assume)

this is who you're making work 40+ hours per week btw

survived the worst day of this bonkers week. so glad tomorrow is friday 🫩

book #1 of 2026 ✅ fantastic read, another cerebral but accessible story in the same vein as babel (which i also loved), with some interesting meditations on the ways we treat ourselves and each other always ought to be more gentle

lorwyn bundle came in today 🥰🤓 (noah always ends up pulling the cooler cards)

sneak perk of legal training is becoming an expert in writing polite but pointed emails to fix other people causing you problems

Checking the news

i have to work today (which i was fully aware of and agreed to and get other holidays off later in the year to make up for it) and it's just not fair!!! 😭

why has my body chosen to inflict this terrible illness* on me?? *a medium-bad cold

if anyone has ~$700 and love in their heart...

awake, but at what cost?

of courseeee the day i need to get to the DMV for my new license is the day the roads are complete ass. at least if i die in a horrible crash i won't need to drive anywhere anymore!

stayed up too late again!!! feeling very normal and functional!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Nature is healing

my sweet beloved child
