playing hooky today and i'm very fortunate that the tattoo shop in walking distance is owned by a piece of shit because otherwise i'd be going for a walk in (it has been 3 months since my last tattoo)

i have the world's worst candy bowl at work tbh (ginger chews and mints for my nausea) and it sits on my desk next to my pharmacy of pepto, tums, and gaviscon (i don't have a drawer)

i hate medical anxiety cause why is an upcoming consult for a sleep study giving me a panic attack

made it through the 2pm sleepies and got my 3pm second wind. unfortunately that second wind can only be used for online shopping

also quite happy with this lighter case

happy with all of these, planning on posting to etsy once i retake photos cause the lighting last night was ass. descriptions in alt text

photo taken approx 30 min before disaster (only coworker in the office left to go home cause she Didn't Feel Good, leaving me alone to have a total meltdown for the next 4.5 hours)

she's soooo

googled HP 3 in 1 to get a reminder on how to do the chainmail weave but it turns out that that is also a printer

not a bad plan for the afternoon, i gotta say (kit making and tng)

idk why i clicked a spoiler tag for a "sexually suggestive cartoon" and was surprised to see furry spitroasting but here we are. good morning baltimore

anyway t minus one month til i turn 30, i have made no plans to celebrate bc my birthday is at the worst possible time of year to try to get people together. and also bc it's a weird denial thing cause 30 itself is not a big deal but every birthday is like ok, well, i guess i haven't kms yet, wild

instagram loves to show me advertisements that are specifically tailored to bisexual women with cishet male partners who Don't Feel Queer Enough. which is like. much better than the tpusa and church ads but please lord why do you think i even vaguely overlap with this category of person

i love a good song cover but every cover played on siriusxm is absolute dogshit and i thank god every day i no longer have to listen to sirius at work

i don't think posting face in between a bunch of mutual aid stuff does anything to boost your instagram stories in the almighty mysterious algorithm. i think it's ok to be like "i felt cute." you don't have to justify your selfie by saying it's to help get more eyes on other people asking for help

every screenshot from the fallout show looks like a cosplay photoshoot tbh

one of the most painful parts of my job, outside of witnessing the failures of systems that should keep people safe and healthy, is rerecording our goddamn voicemail with our holiday closures

need to take product pictures but already put price tags and/or earring cards on everything fuck my gay baka life

i hate queer facebook grps. looking for an exterminator for a rat infestation at my office. "have you tried growing mint and taking care of a feral cat or trying to attract owls?" shut the fuck up omg

love when people use the phrase "media literacy" to try to sound smart when they are literally talking about reading comprehension

this thing doesn't even know she's alive

what is it about street cleaning days where everyone decides to park extra extra extra badly so even fewer cars can fit on the one side where you're actually allowed to park

it's not even an in the pale moonlight kind of day. it's a darmok day.

every job i've ever had has had permanent impacts on me but the emotional and mental toll from being an Essential Worker in 2020-22 is actually pretty insignificant compared to the nerve damage i sustained in 2018 from working at panera at a prep table that was 8 inches shorter than osha recommends

i don't want to work, I want to binge house md* and play pokémon** *i can only watch 2-3 episodes of any given show in a row **i am limiting myself to 30 min a day til after my next jewelry market

just saw a news article titled "all lupus cases may be linked to This Common Virus" and i knew it was EBV/mono before clicking bc it also causes MS and also ruined my life 🫰

had to say no to someone at work and even though i was just the messenger i am having a panic attack :)

i need to eat lunch but my heartburn is awful and eating bland food pisses me off tbh

the thermostat at the bank was set to 77 degrees and then they took 15 minutes to deposit the check i had to bring to make sure my coworkers and i can get paid next week

me: arrives home at 1:40 to finish the work day after running work errands the devil on my shoulder trying to convince me it's time to crack open a cold one: 😈

my favorite prevention tip listed on heartburn meds is "if overweight, lose weight." like shit man i didn't realize it was that simple

they love each other and i love them!!!

so putting our heat above 64 degrees results in a strong burning smell. cool

so tired i have done literally nothing for the past 5 hours at work. the biggest issue is coming up with what to put on my timesheet but at least my wife drove me in/is going to pick me up today so i don't have to worry about driving home while half passed out

working full time is literally going to kill me but i can't afford to work less haha cool excellent neat i love it

got stuck behind a cyclist going down MLK at 12mph (speed limit is 35, it wasn't safe to get over bc everyone else was going the fucking speed limit) yesterday and managed to not flip out (please clap) but when a Tesla cut me off and threw trash out the window i became fully homicidal

my dr had no business putting me on abilify without trying a single antidepressant other than the one i've been on for 13 years but now i'm stuck on abilify forever 🙂

tmi but it's that time of year where i dread pissing at work bc there's zero heat in the bathroom and the toilet seat is ice cold

trying to switch from spotify to qobuz but it's literally the worst fucking UI i've ever used

netflix's R rating for 50 shades of grey says it has "strong sexual content including dialogue, some unusual behavior, and graphic nudity" and something about Some Unusual Behavior has me cracking the fuck up

just remembered that it's only fucking monday

the only good thing about the coffee shop i used to work at is that a large iced latte came with 5 shots of espresso in it

mental health update i am back on abilify and feel almost human again

i love to eat meat but it's so expensive and my vegetarian cooking is Pretty Fucking Good tbh

the cfs is killing me and the mental illness is killing me but what really makes me want to end it all is the fucking gastro shit. i can't remember a day in the past 5 years where i wasn't dealing with some combo of heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, and nausea

i should probably take medical leave due to my mental health plus october slide but i would have to email our HR person who consistently forgets that i exist

made it to work but i can't stop crying and dry heaving

worked myself up so bad that i decided to take the day off
