Just a reminder during the holiday season

Shesha's chilling out and watching the neighbors raking their lawns while I work. Maybe she can ask them to clear my sidewalks for me too?

Finally getting to sit down with my partner and watch the new Frankenstein. I am READY.

Knock knock. Who's there? ...who's there? I don't see anyone out there, but the knocking is getting louder and more insistent. Please, who's there, I'm scared.

I just love living in the United States (especially the south) and playing "gunshots or fireworks or something else?" I guess technically St Louis is both the midwest and the south. Anyway, those were definitely gunshots, and lots of them. Cool cool cool.

thing about autism is if you work really hard for many years, you can learn through trial-and-error how to navigate social situations and interpersonal connections SO effectively that people don't really believe you're autistic anymore and resent you for not being perfect at nonverbal communication

I moved to St Louis today! And by that I mean 3 other wonderful people came down to Louisiana and helped me load the uhaul and then 2 more joined the unloading group in St Louis and we got a full uhaul unloaded in about an hour! Now my new place is stacked full of boxes and bags and I am TIRED.

I've lived in Monroe for 2.5 years and I am just now going to check out this brunch place that I've wanted to go to for a while now. They've always been way too busy on the weekends, like lines out the doors busy, but it's a weekday so I got a table! I am way underdressed haha.

Only 2 more days til I drive to St Louis to pick up my partner and friends to come help me move. Which means only 2 more days until I can see my love in person instead of only getting to see them in photos with the occasional short in-person visits that never last long enough. I am so ready ❤️❤️❤️

Fresh haircuts give me ✨gender feels✨

Listen, I'm a 34 year old adult, but the fact that this was sitting on a random clearance shelf in Walmart absolutely took me out. They're usually put away behind glass! Also, vanilla chai flavored lube?? No thanks 🤣

Holy crap, what are these allegations about Justin from Anti-Flag???? This is the first I'm hearing about anything. Say it ain't so!

Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of my stepdad's passing. It crept up on me, I didn't even realize the date until just now. Tommy was the closest I ever had to a real father since my bio dad was such a horrible person. I wish Tommy were still here, but I do take solace in knowing he's with my mom.

Got the second room of my house basically knocked out and ready to go other than a few last minute things I'll worry about next weekend. All that's really left is the kitchen, bathroom, and my own room, all of which won't take long to pack as they don't contain a lot of stuff.

Today was not the productive day of packing and cleaning I planned for it to be but I did that for 3 days this past week so I feel like I deserve a break. I did do SOME cleaning today, just not a lot. I have a deadline to hit still, after all.

Cleaning and packing today took longer than I expected, partially because my back was already hurting from work and bending over made it worse and also partially because there was more to go through than I thought, but the front bedroom is now about 90% done! Yay!

Came out as pansexual at 17, demisexual around early 20s I think, nonbinary unofficially in my early 20s but more officially around 27 and then realized I was actually a trans guy last year at 33. Not fully out about that other than close friends and partner, plus y'all internet folks.

Ugh. I've been having pain for a few days now that I'm pretty sure is ovarian cyst related (yay PCOS 🙃) and so of course after spending 2 hours cleaning and packing this afternoon I'm dying in pain and running back and forth to the bathroom. Why now??? My body has the worst timing.

I spent 2 hours packing and organizing my front bedroom and after spending multiple days cleaning and clearing out a bunch of it over the last few months I have about 70% of the room done and ready to go, and the other 30% should only take me an hour or 2! That room was the main thing to accomplish.

I GOT THE HOUSE!!!! I sign the lease agreement tomorrow or Wednesday and then I'll be moving in just less than 3 weeks! Ommmggggg Y'ALL the house is so nice and has an AMAZING back yard!

I find out tomorrow if I'm signing a lease agreement for this house in STL so I'm crossing my fingers because I really want it!!

Spent the last hour-ish packing and cleaning. The ridiculous thing is that I genuinely don't own a lot of stuff but when I'm sitting here packing up my whole house it sure FEELS like I own a ton of stuff.

As another ADHD-er who also has OCD, this really is such a good thread! I deal with a lot of the same stuff. I have a shopping addiction and I'm a recovering hoarder due to impulses that are hard as hell to say no to. These things haunt me, I don't want to do them, but it is PAINFUL not to at times.

I might actually have a house lined up in STL already! It's smaller than I originally wanted but it would be a private landlord instead of a corporate one and the back yard is HUGE and beautiful omg. My partner is going to see it tomorrow and then I'm gonna video chat with the woman who owns it!

I can't sleep because I'm so excited and nervous about finally getting a job and moving soon but I also know I'm on the verge of slipping into hypomania if I don't get more sleep. I mean, at least it would help me pack and move? Eh?

Found a beautiful house for rent, says it's pet friendly, so I messaged to ask for sure what their pet policy is. The city limit is 4 but some places want to limit it to 1 or 2, so hopefully this place won't do that. If they'll allow the 4 then I'll put in my application and hopefully get it!

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR MORE PAY THAN I EVEN HOPED FOR!!!!! I'M MOVING TO ST LOUIS!!!!

My interview today went well and I also got a call from a recruiter about a different temp to hire job so just waiting to hear back about a potential interview for them. Maybe things are going well???

I'm hoping not to jinx anything, but I have a job interview tomorrow for a position that I know I'd be great at and it pays even more than I was hoping to get. I just need them to like me and give me a chance! And also be okay with the fact that I am currently out of state and trying to move there!

I'm forgiving if a coffee shop gets an order wrong, it happens. However when it's me specifically ordering oat milk because I'm severely lactose intolerant and I take a few sips and can immediately tell that it's real milk based on my stomach's reaction, I'm less inclined to do so. Avenge me.

[hospital] SURGEON: [lowers mask] I'm sorry, we were unable to separate the art from the artist ME: are they S: yes, they’re still an asshole

I came to the local coffee shop for some peace to get my school work done. What did I get instead? An older guy sitting in the corner blasting the exact same song over and over from his phone about being old and lonely. What is HAPPENING.

Applying for jobs today just made me want to apply for assisted euthanasia instead so I think I'm done for now.

I'm actually pretty convinced that robbing a bank would be easier than getting a different job currently, and I literally work for a bank. (Dear lord do not take this as a plan for me to rob a bank, I am not that desperate.)

I've applied for over 100 jobs in the past 4 months and have not gotten a single job offer. I've interviewed for maybe 10 of these jobs and keep being told they loved my interview but went with someone else instead. I'm ready to watch the world burn at this point.

My current class in my master's degree has required us to use AI for multiple assignments now, including one I've got to do this weekend. I flat out refused to use it for the previous one and I'm going to refuse to use it for this one too. There is no reason I should need to use AI for this!

Going from spending a few days with my partner and both of us being so happy and then having to go back home 10 hours away and both of us immediately being depressed freaking sucks. I'm still steadily applying for jobs and even had an interview today but I'm not feeling too hopeful about anything.

I FINALLY made it to St Louis. Jesus Christ I'll just drive next time.

Made it to the airport, an impromptu trip to see my love for a few days. The local airport is so small that they only have 6 gates and apparently gate 5, the one I'm at (currently completely by myself lol) is designated as the gate that flies to DFW. I wish every airport was this chill!

In south Arkansas it's the cities of El Dorado and Monticello. In north Louisiana, specifically my city, it's the street names. Desiard and Louisville being the main ones.

Don't give up on your dreams. If you wish to chase curious townsfolk away from the ragged edge of the forest with the dark grandeur of your shambling form, I know you can do it. I believe in you.

Is literally anybody actually able to get a job these days? At all? Is that really a real thing or is it basically just a situation of if you have a job you better keep it because you'll literally never find another one? Because that seems to be the case now that I've been job hunting for 4 months.

This was a BAD weekend for my partner and a really not great one for me either for separate reasons (nothing relationship wise, just personal life reasons) so hey out there, God or universe or whoever is in charge of my life and my partner's life, can we get some good news next week? Pretty please?

Is there a website that collects different writing competitions and like, sends out newsletters with upcoming/current competitions happening? Or like, not even just competitions but places in general that are accepting submissions. Paid submissions preferred! #writing

Lost: cat. Has no idea what he’s doing with his life or why the universe so very large

I waited all week to hear back about a job only to get an email today that they're still discussing candidates so while that's not a no yet, I still feel like it's another rejection. It's so frustratingly ridiculous that I have over 8 years of experience in the field and yet can't get a job offer.

One of my old high school classmates on Facebook said she was in her "late 30s" when she's literally 34 so anyway, that's what getting your education in south Arkansas is like. Can't wait til she turns 36 and refers to it as her "ancient 30s."

Well, the job that I REALLY wanted finally got back to me today and said they're "pursuing other candidates" so that freaking sucks. I do still have a second interview for another place on Friday so while it's not the ideal job it pays well and will get me to St Louis so here's hoping.

Man, the new @90degreessouth.bsky.social episode had me NERVOUS but it was so good!!
