I just worked 12 hours-- 18:00 until 6:00. Very hard labor two counties over. 3 hours on the road. I'm bruised, bloodied, can barely walk and just coated 80% of my body with very strong pain cream, but even when my job sucks ass, I LOVE IT. 🤍 All the sleepless school nights were worth it.

Good morning, Internet! We're so back ⚡️

Shipping out for some moonlapse vertigo shifts on the peninsula. Won't see this for a while.

The first time I ever tried an edible, they had been legal here for a few years and I was hanging out with a guy I wanted to impress, who advised me to start low and go slow. I took one-third of his dose. He is a 325-pound beast. Beloved, I ATE THE MOON

How much is the fare for the Struggle Bus and where does it go?

I am "cleaning my jewelry is a form of psychological self-harm" years old

Heading north to witness the glory, the SPLENDOR of #AEW Dynamite/Collision tonight ❤️

Had a blast at Mystery Wrestling 24! Worth the drive. Aubrey reffing the "falls count somehow" match between Cecil Nyx and ELP was probably my favorite part. The bar even had NA beer for me! 🤍

I've never told my mom about this early memory: I'm eating a cookie in my lawyer dad's office. A fax comes in while they're out of the room, and I read it. It was details of how we thought HIV spread at the time. I was a little science nerd, but I was so confused.

Health food crazes have always been ridiculous. 1951. Jane Wyman, Jimmy Durante, Groucho Marx, Danny Kaye. Fun trivia: some radio stations banned this song, thinking it was plugging molasses or Hadacol (a popular vitamin drink; it was 12% alcohol). www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNX0...

I have so many things to do piled up and I'm stressed as fuck, but I promise I'll be a better excuse for a person this week. Documentation here will help. Hi. And before anyone asks: no, I can't go to therapy. I am uninsured. Thank the government for pulling the plug on so many projects.

Sometimes it's hard to cook. It's weird to remember that I cooked every day when I was married. It's a lot of work and mess for just one person, even if I eat leftovers the next day or freeze portions. I waste more ingredients than I'd like; I just get tired or forget. Depression makes it worse.

🎼 Long long monnnnnnn 🎵

I'm at Gary Con! 🗡🐉

Open question: Do you ever wonder if you suck at your job?

PSA: #PokémonTCG will rotate G out on April 10th. Start weaning yourself off TMs, Mimikyu, Squawkabilly, Professor's Research, Pidgeot and Goldengho ex, Gardevoir decks, Nest Balls and Iono now. I'll miss Darkrai! Paws up if you're not gonna miss THIS fragging' bastich.

Why, God? WHY #Bellevue

Guys think they want a girl who works for a living until they see her hands #electrician

I didn't make coffee this morning, trading it for 10 more minutes of sleep and risking my entire career. Grabbed a Red Bull on my way out and ate a handful of soda crackers with my meds. Wiped my face off with wet wipes, threw on my raincoat and sped into the breach.

Watching the State of the Union because cutting myself is too messy

Getting ghosted by a therapist is always a good motivator 😅

Happy New Year!

Finally digging into 'Dark Auction', written by Rika Suzuki of Hotel Dusk fame; it's a mystery concerning generational trauma in the shadow of WWII. I had family on both sides of the war. People throw the term "visual novel" around too easily, but this is one.

I wish that average people in America had a better understanding of what people who grew up in old-world cultures that value filial piety go through in the workplace. "Authority anxiety" doesn't quite describe it-- it's TERROR. Then add built-in imposter syndrome.

Good fucking morning.

Just flipped Pokémon Legends: Z-A, a.k.a. Pokémon and the City. This game loses its own plot something like 12 times and lacks the guileless charm of Legends: Arceus. ... for the life of me, I can't tell you what this game is about.

I usually wince when people-- usually doctors-- suggest that what happened to me five years ago "rewired [my] nervous system". It has recently come to my attention that this is accurate. I delay difficult conversations, feeling unsafe, and break down during confrontations.

Hey, do I know anyone who is playing Pokémon Legends: Z-A? I need to evolve a few mons by trading.

Just got called a communist at QFC in Normandy Park by some dude in a veteran jacket. I don't broadcast my political or social stuff openly and I wasn't even wearing anything cool. Also, we both live in the US. Are all blondes communists or something?

The jobber entrance for Angélico is still bothering me. 😡 Such disrespect! #AEWCollision

No idea how I ended up on the cozy animation side of 小红书 (rednote), but I'm delighted 🤍

Why in seventeen billion fucks is Dunkin' on the non-secured side of SNA?! I can see it but not go! People who live here already HAVE Dunkin', guys (sobbing discreetly in Washingtonian 😭)

I feel bad saying this, but I really don't like staying bed-and-breakfasts. No shade to folks who are into that kind of thing, but it's just not my thing. I don't like staying in other peoples' homes. I don't like the social obligation, thin walls, weird rooms, prescribed breakfast.

Something to remember this Christmas, while your family's driving you crazy: we have much to learn from the Greatest Generation. It's important that we, the future, ask them the hard questions.

Serious question: why don't boomers eat? Yes, I am referring to baby boomers. I'm starving from the moment I arrive at my parents' house until I sneak out and get food. They eat nothing. They must think I'm a disgusting pig.

Diet

Deeply dismayed and disappointed in the lack of jolly headgear on other passengers at SeaTac Airport on December 23rd. I cannot carry the weight of the entire holiday upon my antlers

Three recipes later, I finally got what I wanted out of a matcha cookie. Reduced the vanilla and salt slightly and used salted butter but otherwise dead on. www.cooking-therapy.com/matcha-white...

Merry Heronmas, @everyheron.bsky.social. 🐟

Shout out to the phở shop in my town staying open during a flood, blasting the Sacrificial Dance from The Rites of Spring the week before Christmas 🔥

FAQ: I'm safe! Yes, I'm on the floodplain, but I'm outside the GO NOW evacuation zone. The cows started panicking well before the levee broke, which was odd. Owls fell silent. Helicopters are not announcing anything and power is still on. Go bag is packed, just in case. Probably unnecessary.

Spotted at the Deutsche Market by my mum: basically Sleevey Wonders, but for traditional krautwear. Dirndl dickies? Fucking climate change

Tell me about it, Punchy. #ACNH

Tired of being told by medical doctors that "wacky hormones" are responsible for a million unrelated things, I decided to try the Mira hormone monitor. Some things to know: (1)
