going through my screenshot folder and found this

There’s a guy I was considering hooking up with who told me I wasn’t his type. No problem. Then a week later, he says he changed his mind and he wants to hook up. My initial reaction was 😁. But now…I dunno. I guess I’m tired of sleeping with guys who aren’t actually into me?

From an optics perspective... the protesters being the ones waving the US flag while Bovino et al looks like every awful nazi inspired movie we've ever seen... hats off to Minnesotans.

A Code Blue is in effect, and no one seeking shelter will be turned away. Our outreach teams are working across all five boroughs. If you see someone who needs help, call 311. Please check on your neighbors and stay safe, New York.

heyyy so because nobody came to the blood drive this year we’re gonna need to use a new substance our technician dr. gray created called “blörd”. he says it’s “like blood, but more metal” and that anyone who receives a blörd transfusion will be healed but “very different”

Nice.

I hate AI almost as much as I hate ICE. I write about stuff on my reader-supported blog, and this one's been getting shared around again lately, so I figured, hey, I've got a really big $350 doctor's visit cost coming up. paypal.me/stompsite new article soon docseuss.medium.com/using-chatgp...

WHEW! Wild day! It started busy and stayed that way til about 12:30, then it completely died (thank god!!). It’s been snowing all day and still is, so I’m surprised so many people came out, but it went well and I feel good about it. Boss was happy, too. 😁 Back home and off til Weds!

Last week I reported on the 35 people ICE has killed in the last year. www.qasimrashid.com/p/did-your-d... Today Washington Post reports that on January 3, ICE killed another person, by choking him to death in prison. You don’t reform this. You don’t fix this by training. You ABOLISH this fascism.

5 o'clock somewhere

Following the vandalism of at least 11 government vehicles or rentals driven by federal law enforcement at a hotel in Eagan, Minnesota last night, it's safe to say—you don't want to stay at a hotel that hosts ICE, or even park your vehicle there. You don't want to host them at your hotel, either.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Work was good today! Busy in the morning, but it slowed down a little for lunch, so I was able to stay ahead of things. I also ran a couple orders while the boss was managing the front, and when she came back to run the food and saw that I already had, she said, “You’re amazing! Thank you!” 🥹🥹

Finally, a good sized potato

The most massive potato I’ve ever seen. 🫨

Ughhhh, I was in a deep sleep and did not wanna get up. I also forgot that this paycheck was gonna be small because we were closed the first week of Jan. I have $50 to get me through the next two weeks. 😭😭😭😭

Today was waaaaaay better, lol. It was dead as hell, so I got most of my prep done and got out on time. 🙌🏻 We’re getting a bit of a snow storm tonight, so I’m anxious about the morning, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. For now? Shower!

Oof! Rough night of sleep, woke up at 3:30 and struggled to get back to sleep, even though I’m still pretty tired. 😫

Whew! Long day! Work was slow to start, then busier than I would’ve liked. It was hectic as fuck, I got little to no prep done, and I left half an hour late! Went to mom and dad’s for dinner and had a lovely time, though. ♥️ Finally home and EXHAUSTED. Shower, YouTube, bed.

Part of my dream involved me seeing a couple of my old high school teachers - the ones I had crushes on - and us flirting back and forth a bit. It’s funny, cuz I’m friends with one of them on FB and he has not aged well. 😅

Man, what a weird night. Slept okay, but the dreams were bonkers; working at a casino, reconnecting with some of my old teachers, needing to catch a flight but unsure which one…

Awww, damn. My artist is sick, we have to reschedule the tattoo appointment.

Finally got my debit card and new license in the mail! 🙌🏻 Parents got me a gift card to my fav tattoo shop for my birthday, so I have an appointment today to start my Matt and Pat tattoo! 😭🥹 I’m so excited, I’ve been planning this tattoo for over ten years!

introduce yourself with: 1 movie 1 book 1 TV show 1 album (This was very difficult; the book is the only one I was sure of without thought, lol. I considered THE MENU, JURASSIC PARK (movie), MIDNIGHT RUN, THE BIRDCAGE, TALK TO ME, then THE SOPRANOS and BREAKING BAD, then “Aja” or “Viva La Vida.”)

“You wanna shoot at my feet?! Let’s fuckin DANCE!!” 🤣🤣 #quotes

Be direct. You have boundaries and that anxiety exists for a reason. If you’re not comfortable, you’re not comfortable. Communicate your needs.

I'd say speak to him about prefering to meet in person, and follow up by asking what the appeal of a phone call is for him; then you both know what will make the other comfortable and you can decide from there

So there’s a guy I’m interested in hooking up with, but he wants to talk on the phone first, and I don’t want to. I’d straight up rather meet him in person (somewhere public) than talk on the phone. Is it better to be direct about that, or do you think I should fight the crippling anxiety?

I put my phone on shuffle when I listen to my music, just my preference, and because of that, it sometimes plays random songs I have from soundtracks or video games, and it started playing the HALLOWEEN theme the other day, and I just had to laugh out loud at hearing it randomly in the kitchen. 😅

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO

God, I love days off. Slept til 8, woke up briefly to feed Maya and went back to sleep. Got back up an hour ago, am coloring my hair, and just might get some MORE SLEEP. 🙌🏻

I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time

I watch a lot of bodycam and dashcam footage, and now, when I see car accidents, it really freaks me out. 😭 Rolling in a car and then not being able to open the door to get out is terrifying. The panic that drove me to climb out the broken window will never leave me.

I’ve been taking the initiative to come up with specials and recipes when the boss doesn’t mention them to me, and she’s been making them or featuring them. I suggested carrot cake waffles and she made them today and loved them. I made a Haitian soup and boss’ husband loved it. Feels good. 🥹

Whew. Hectic as fuck day at work, and it was unpleasant. I don’t know why bosses think it’s a good idea to see their employee feeling stressed and overwhelmed and say, “Just wait til summer!” Like, okay? Do you want me to quit? Why would you say that? And, like, repeatedly? It’s so fucking annoying.
