Okay I'm upset about today and want to spend $25 on a very good copy with book plate and inscription from the previous owner of this children's book I collect so I can give away a copy to another kid and still have a copy for myself. Is this a maladaptive coping strategy?

Made a tiny cut paper diorama for my partner for new years. "Despite everything, it's still you."

Might use my two hours of pto to leave early. Since the department is apparently ~fully staffed~ it shouldn't be a problem, right

Probably going to get written up for tersely correcting the store manager that my department is not fully staffed and hasn't been for nearly a year

It's just that I will never feel good. That's the hard part.

Saw some discourse TikTok about how cloned pets are just like regular pets like this is a discourse thing and I've come to the conclusion I'm middle-aged

Today's thread highlighting people who have reached out for help via Bluesky. 12 today, no bonus posts 1. Kivan: bsky.app/profile/kiva...

a quick comic about peace and privacy

I either need to draw a picture, sleep, or murder myself. I'm going to try for sleep

One of my friends got me a hat!!

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.

I wrote the captions on this video the night Osama Bin Laden was killed and it’s probably the most shared thing I ever created.

Beautiful ham dinner with friends after work last night, then the neighbors gave me homemade tamales today, and even though work has been so hard and this city feels so hard to afford and survive in godDAMN do I love my friends. Like I never want to lose this feeling.

Things aren't any easier but the community I have makes me want to live

I have two and a half hours left on this shift and I think anyone who goes to the grocery store on Christmas eve should be attacked by wild dogs

Getting forced into medical detransition while I pay this much for health insurance surely has to be funny for someone

How do I owe the clinic $200? How? Does my insurance not work there anymore? I feel sick to my stomach. I don't know how I'm supposed to live in this world. I just want to start crying

I don't know, I'm pretty worried about next year already lol

Just watched Maps to the Stars and I have no idea how I felt about it but I'm thinking about it a lot

Thank y'all so much for the help so far! I'm currently -$50 in the red. If you can/want to help, please feel free to grab a zine or leave a tip!

Thank you for the kind birthday dinner yesterday! I am unfortunately needing bus fare and groceries for the week (I never got paid for my time missed due to my work injury, hooray)

It's the end of my week and the department is open late tonight, let's do this

It's my birthday on Friday, anything I raise beyond my phone bill ($41.30) will just go to making sure it isn't overwhelmingly depressing (this is the worst time of year in the meat department)

Of course the other closer called off

It's my birthday, here's a baby pic

Let’s help Kivan to have a happy birthday.

She's so pretty

I love them

Makin' him cuuuuute

He's cute

Still learning shading but I think this is turning out okay

Ok so I need to raise a good chunk of funds toward a safe and drivable car (either repairing my current one or replacing it) so I am offering to mail paper collages I’ve made in exchange for mutual aid contributions This is a thread of collages!

Someone was saying because we decertified we can't rejoin the union for three years. I'm going to shit in the scabs lockers

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.

Trying to make things better is naive. Pay no attention to the people over there who successfully made things better.

The union got their contract if you want to guess how angry I am at the bootlicking scabs I work with who got our store to decertify from the union over the summer

Start of another work week, I crave death, working on my birthday this Friday, boooooo

I saw a version of Beauty and the Beast that gave Gaston kind of a weird backstory at OSF one year, and I wasn't wild about it, but it did strike me as an interesting choice that you could do some cool things with.
