evidently very few adults know how to handle conflict in relationships and/or don't have the distress tolerance to initiate relational repair when there has been a rupture. imo, these texts are so healthy!! this is how you maintain decades long friendships!!

The best kind of friendship is the kind where you can ask your friends to come help you clean your house because you've been struggling to do it, and they show up with silliness and leave you with a clean home and warm heart.

I'm doing a new year renewal of my intention to be less online & more embodied, which tonight meant some easy, low stakes, cutie watercolor projects! Both of these are ideas from Andrea Nelson Art on insta, she's delightful!

if Georgia AND Ohio State both lose I will be so angry

gonna reread Supernova tomorrow and maybe post some notes about it as a lil coping tool (non-destructive dissociation)

cried the whole way hoooome 😜

the 3 day cumulative hangover plus being in a quiet (but not empty) house feeling alone with my grief today has me feeling very "I know my pain is such an imposition"

"legend has it you're quite the pyro, you strike the match to watch it blow" 🤝 "I struck a match and blew your mind" 🤝 "strike a match, strike a match, watch it blow"

KARMA IS REAL!!! 💜🧡 purple & orange, I see you!! Speak Now & Karma, Getaway Car & Maroon, Karma mv, Ice Spice, 5/26 (13), You're Losing Me, Til Dawn Edition (Daylight), in New York (gay), and no karma jacket.

why is this rose about to tell me it's been a long time coming

in the times when it feels harder to trust that our perception of TS's character is true, it's really helpful to hear messages like this from people like Kam who know her well & feel genuinely cherished, supported, & celebrated for their differences & divergence

this is so evil

I didn't realize grief was going to feel so much like depression. I'm not constantly crying but I feel hollow and heavy and have to manually force myself to do simple life stuff, and work is a constant uphill battle. I'm so tired, and I miss my dog.

All the Peter Pan references I've noticed so far tell us that the cardigan/Wendy/Betty was Taylor's choice of safety after August 2019, when she lost the courage of her convictions as The Man/James/Anti-Hero. She chose to hide behind the curtain as Wendy & never went back to Neverland.

omg we're def getting TayBirthday pap shots today to promote the docuseries, I'm so excited

what are your favorite mystery novels that feel like a Knives Out movie? I'm looking for some really compelling books to end the year on, and I read really quickly

banging my head against the wall trying to pick an insurance plan that's not gonna completely ruin my financial life 🙃 god bless america, land of the impoverished because of the 1%

being a therapist while navigating my own grief up close for the first time is not it

We said goodbye to my Marcie girl last week after 8 beautiful years as her mom and almost 17 years of her life. Loving her was the greatest honor and my whole world feels a little darker without her snuggles, smiles, and silliness. Cheers to the dog who changed me forevermore, Marcie Pants! 🤍

I just picked up a prescription and the pharmacist asked if I worked at a pharmacy because I gave pharmacist vibes. What does that even mean?? What about me gives pharmacist vibes??

(champagne problem warning) I unexpectedly have about $400 to spend on myself, and I usually end up frittering away extra money instead of buying things intentionally. SO! what are the things you own that you LOVE, like change your quality of life, would grab in a fire type things?

2009 called, it missed me!! healing my inner teen with a brand new 3rd gen iPod nano blasting Debut and Fearless 🫶

It's my birthdayyyyy!! 🤩🎉🎂🌟🥂♐👸🏼💙

made it back around the sun, so I got some spontaneous birthday tattoos to celebrate the cycles of life & the transformation of a saturn return🌒🪐 love you to the moon & saturn

I'm gonna have to cancel my birthday party to Ren Fest because of a damn 24-hour stomach bug 😭😭😭 i usually avoid my birthday to some degree but this year I was so excited about it & planned ahead & now I'm stuck in bed feeling like ass

My partner and I might have a stomach bug, which is bad x3: 1. This feels miserable 2. We're supposed to go to RenFest this Saturday for my birthday 3. We only have one bathroom I'm as grumpy as can be.

Hey friends, I didn’t expect to have a financial need so soon into this, but I’m going to owe a substantial amount of money for the upcoming radiation treatment and I just don’t have it. Can you take a look and donate if you can, and share my post if you can’t? It would mean the world to me. 💖💖💖

about to ask for a 3rd gen iPod nano for my birthday & then promptly end my spotify subscription

after 6 weeks with TLOAS, my conclusion is that it's a fun, light, boppy, vocal stim, bubble gum glitter gel pen pop album that I enjoy listening to, but it doesn't make me feel anything deeply. it's like cotton candy, - delicious & sweet, but not something to chew on 🍭✨

yeah... this is pretty on the nose ngl

just learned about the upcoming social media ban for kids under 16yo in Australia & I'm just 😍🤗🤩 PROTECT THE KIDS' BRAINS!!! yay!!!

My head cannon interpretation of Elizabeth Taylor is that she's on a red carpet and all the paps are screaming "Elizabeth Taylor!! Do you think it's forever?" prying into her very public personal life instead of her art.

Historically, I am terrible at telling people what I want as birthday/holiday gifts, and I end up with well-intentioned stuff I don't really want. My birthday is in ~2 weeks. What are some of the best gifts you've gotten or asked for lately? I have some ideas but not thrilled with em.

for my fellow puzzlers, y'all gotta try the Murdle! 🕵️‍♀️🧩 it's a daily logic puzzle to determine the whole/what/where & sometimes why of a murder. start with the mini (and PSA today's main is harder than usual) murdle.com/index.html?m...

All the behind the scenes logistics of the docuseries are gonna be AMAZING like truly peeking behind the curtain of it all. I'm curious about how people will respond to seeing their shiny, perfect popstar being sweaty, out of breath, tired, and sore (as if she's a real person).

I just learned that dogs should drink ~1 oz of water per pound they weigh. I've owned a dog for 8 years and had a dog as a child - why has no vet ever told me this??

the muse in The Great War is same the muse in Eldest Daughter, and both are herself

oh no, working until after it's fully dark out every day is already getting old and there are 3 months of this left

texting out of the blue during the work day should be illegal. it's non-consensual communication and I don't get a choice about whether to engage with the message in the middle of a chaotic day!

I remembered I'm a therapist who knows how to help my brain and body process overwhelming shit, so I made this for my feelings

my brain simply cannot handle the probability that I won't be able to afford health insurance next year.

Robin is about herself & her parts confirmed?? @mcpants.bsky.social

playing a fun game called "why do I feel like this!" options include: existential dread, overdid it socializing, didn't sleep well, haven't eaten a real meal yet, not enough quality time with my recharge people, depression sneaking in again, physical pain, or some secret other thing!!

keep scrolling I just need to scream for a minute WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG QITH PEOPLE OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT THE HELL I CANT EVEN FATHOM HOW YOU COULD BE LIKE THAT GOOD CHRIST IT COSTS NOTHING TO BE NOT HORRIBLE FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

If you get the sads when it gets dark and cold out, do yourself a favor and get a hot yoga membership for the season. A warm candle lit restorative yin class will do wonders for your brain, body, and spirit. It's like being wrapped in peace and comfort, and you deserve that! 🧘🏼‍♀️🪷☯️

I'm really tired of cleaning up accidents and bathing my 16.5 year old dog and washing towels and blankets pretty much every day for 3+ months but the alternative is so much worse. It's hard to hold both exhaustion/exasperation for the labor & gratitude/appreciation for the time we get together.

I just got a haircut and am having a small identity crisis... what color is my hair?
