Drax's new late-afternoon spot

"I will face God and walk backwards into Hell"

guys, this is how you lose the time war

One night, I was talking to my mom on the phone, insisting that I was fine after a guy I had been talking to for 6 months ghosted me for another girl. I told her I was done trying to date, and just focusing on myself. She responded, "Well, you never know when you'll meet someone"

I'm on a mission to add more whimsy into my life this year, and you know what sounds whimsical as fuck? Putting on my cutest outfit, wearing the jewelry I never have an occasion for, and going to a candle-making workshop at a winery in Lodi on Friday.

Now it's Bisexuals with PlayStation 5's turn to pass out over Hecate's abs.

I had the foresight to download Hades 2 while watching Jeopardy, but I didn't keep a controller within reach before Drax curled up on my lap. 🥲

Gonna ask my therapist for permission to get bangs.

I've been doing Tai Chi on recovery days, and wow... It just feels really, really good.

i think a good question to ask is: why aren't there any "mom games" but "dad game" is a defined genre

About a third of the way through The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow, and it's very, very good, but this passage is particularly relatable.

I've been working on updating my personal style, and whew... There is such a fine line between dressing like a whimsical leftist hippie, and falling into the alt-right "divine feminine" pipeline. Anyway... I'm excited to get these pieces in the mail.

I don't think a grandma should have to do DoorDash to pay for her husband's cancer treatments

Poppy Seed Independant woman who doesn't fall for the gaslighting and abuse anymore.

This is the most Millennial bowling alley I've ever seen

Just a reminder that when a website has a banner that counts down the end of a "Flash Sale" that's too good to be true, it's a lie to give you a false sense of urgency so you make an impulsive decision. It's one of my least favorite dark patterns. Don't buy from sites that do that.

Cool. Late last night, I realized that it's been storming here for the last three days, but I haven't heard the sump pump in my basement at all. I love being a homeowner.

Must have gotten a massive buff from my DDR room being done, because I played for 2 hours today, got my first STAR, my first Full Excellent Combo, and a total of SEVEN stars! I'm so fucking hyped right now. I'm going to go get Chipotle.

Maybe that, but also definitely the fact that in order to live a basic middle-class life that affords some basic pleasures on top of being able to handle a modest financial emergency, you have to make the kind of money that only ~20% of people are capable of making.

I love it when a daydream and a mood board start to come together. I'm still working on getting art, and mounting the TV at standing eye-level, but all the big pieces are finally done!

TikTok almost always misses with "healthy dessert" ideas, like chickpea cookie dough, and black bean brownies. But the girlies are into something with Silken Tofu, Chia Seed and Protein powder pudding. I blended it all up with a bit of oat milk, maple syrup and cinnamon, and it slaps

French fries are fine, but they are -by far- the worst way to use a potato.

I've been feeling really down and insecure lately because there's only one person who texts me regularly without me reaching out first. But after a few conversations, I think the problem is that everyone is feeling the weight of the world and they don't want to be a burden on anyone right now.

My body: 🥰 Oh, you just woke up and haven't eaten in 12 hours? Hell yeah, let's get an awesome workout in before work! 😩 It's 5pm, and you haven't eaten in 5 hours, I don't wanna move. 🤬 It's 8pm, you only ate 2 hours ago, fuck you, you slug, go doomscroll until bed.

Oh no. Dalton was looking at the Midnights vinyl cover, and told me that at first glance, he thought she was holding an Airpod, and now I can't unsee it 🥲

"Reading is inherently political, but [...] reading is not inherently progressive" Bingo! I've gotten so skeptical of hetero romance books! SO MANY of them learn so hard into traditional power dynamics with a weak/troubled girl being saved by a big strong man. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8gNeT9q/

Also, the thing that made The Buddha exceptional is that he died and remained dead, lol.

i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

they really said "they should have sent a poet"

If I was rich, I would start a fitness app for women that doesn't tell them to rest during their follicular phase and ovulation, and push themselves during their luteal phase and menstruation.

Remember when companies actually cared about speed and uptime?

I've also noticed this shift, which was inevitable under Trump. At the end of the day, the US has produced a society that can oppose the war, but have no real mechanism with which to end it given the weak political opposition, material consequences of direct action, and broader individualism.

It's ok to look slightly unhinged after what is essentially HIIT training.

I don't know why I didn't expect ITL to throw Baby's First Side Switches at me in the 8-block, but there it is. I knew I'd have to learn some tech eventually 🙃

I didn't realize it was Easter until I went out to run errands, and all the places I needed to go were closed.

Irvine, California It has a safe and squeaky-clean facade, but is so boring that they can't even decide what to do with a park. If the city can't turn a profit on something, they're not interested. It's the exact promise of Capitalism.

I am TICKLED that the ceiling fan I just installed in my game room has RGB effects. That wasn't listed in the features 😂

I've lost 10lbs since January, and I think that this is the first time in my life that I've done that in a healthy, sustainable way that includes eating enough of the right food to fuel workouts that I enjoy. I feel strong, and my back can handle more before my old injury flares up.

Y'all need to post more jokes and thirst traps, and I'm not even kidding.

She wants my California Roll bowl 😰

I uttered the words "emotional support chalupa" yesterday, and realized that was a sign to use some PTO today. Gonna use this day to paint the ceiling and replace the ceiling fan in my den. I sure do have an interesting idea of how to release stress, huh?

I'm back up to 100 hours of PTO. I should be taking more mental health days.

Ugh. Algorithms are so awful. I want content about high fiber and protein recipes and strength training, but that's a fast pipeline to thinspo and shady supplements.

I've been getting content on Instagram about romanticizing depression, but, like... I got REALLY good at that in 2022-2024. I need advice for romanticizing being "pretty good, actually"

Going from Junior to Mid, you need to show that you need less direction. To go from Mid to Senior, you need to show that you are capable of providing direction. And when you get into Staff and Principal, the scale goes from giving individuals direction to steering the direction of whole teams.

"Video Games"

i’m glad the Supreme Court said what we’ve all been thinking: lawyers should be in charge of medicine

Yeah, Project Hail Mary is a good movie
