shits bleak when the kids are making fan edits of Bush Jr on TikTok.

CW: internalized fatphobia, medical fatphobia I get SUPER winded doing any sort of physical activity and in the last few years it's impacted my want to do things like go for a nice little walk because five minutes in I can't breathe. In my head it was because I was just extremely out of shape.

Oh, confirmed and diagnosed asthma but I'm going to walk back my suspicions of developing after COVID. I think I've had asthma my entire life but it worsened post-COVID. After talking to the pulmonologist I am actually floored at how I've been just suffering for years and thinking it was my fault.

so I have an appt at the respiratory clinic tomorrow morning to do some testing to confirm if I have asthma which the ER doc has diagnosed but wants confirmation. if I do I have strong suspicions that I developed asthma after I got COVID in 2021.

If you’re using ChatGPT like an all mighty oracle in your everyday life I better not be hearing you complain about heat in the summertime.

on a scale of 1 - egotistical where does assigning your own poem for workshop participants to read land?

my aging body is making me straight edge

I have taken my last prednisone 🥲 god I hate this medication.

square tip gel nails are a recession indicator. in this essay I will

I’m so sick of having this living-in-a-damp-cave-being-slowly-destroyed-by-my-unyielding-yearning-for-the-One Ring ass cough.

Prednisone (or the devils tic tacs as my brother calls it) makes some people angry… me, I am just feeling like I need to be so sentimental and tell everyone what they mean to me lol.

the Portland frogs carrying a sign that says “frogs together strong” is truly amazing.

Guy who is zip-tying American children and shooting pastors on the head with pepper balls wants Peace Prize.

Spent 12 hours in urgent care and the ER yesterday because I couldn’t breathe 🫠 so if you saw me having an absolute meltdown in the Burnaby Hospital ER hallway it’s because we were going on hour 10. Huge shout out to the nurses and drs there, always so so so caring even when it’s a shit show.

It’s most definitely COVID. I can’t confirm with a test because nowhere around me has tests that aren’t expired 🫩 but from what I’m reading about the new strain I think it’s what I’m dealing with.

Guess who is sick and absolutely to my core terrified I’ll get pneumonia again 🫥

Jessica because my mom wanted to call me Jessie but she got hijacked by my grandma and aunty who wanted Samantha. Funny enough, my sister (my dad and stepmom’s daughter) is named Jessica and goes by Jesse.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says: "Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

someone's bathroom garbage got spilled so there are tampons on the side of the street and this guy walked by them and looked absolutely shaken to his core horrified and then looked at me like I personally put tampons on the street for him to see.

went to use a knitting app i haven’t used in nearly a year and a friend who passed away recently had requested to be friends, but i missed it. woof what a weird internet grief gut punch.

she has summited the mountain.

so happy to watch the blonde songstress climb cringe mountain every 12 months when she releases a new album.

Shout out to all the Oldest (or Only) Daughters who are tapped in to be the family's lawyer, doctor, therapist, moderator, government navigator, and teacher. Currently all of the above helping my mom with my kokum's residential school settlement paperwork.

Trans-affirming prison policies are being revoked in parts of Canada and the U.S. We need to protect Two-Spirit and trans people in prisons

If you need me I’m teaching myself to knit German short rows and fading into the ether today

Sending love to survivors and families of survivors of the Ile-a-la-Crosse Residential School. The news is complicated and comes with heavy emotions. I am heartbroken to my core that my kokum passed before receiving this apology and I am still so so angry. Be gentle with yourselves today.

being able to set a time to send a text message has actually be such a great invention for a girlie with anxiety.

side note is anyone reading Katabasis (RF Kuang)? because I'm about halfway through and am having so many thoughts! currently I am really liking it and think that it's really poignant but this is all hinging on how she wraps this up.

is anyone on StoryGraph? follow me at @ bingobaggins

loved going to the movies yesterday and getting an ozempic ad followed by an AI slop wegovy ad. what a world.

the internet is just ozempic ads and AI slop.

the website that lists Rachel first as someone allegedly celebrating Kirk's murder screenshots a tweet where she explicitly condemns violence & says she hopes he survives. for that she's receiving death & rape threats

I would just love to feel ok going to a little mental health walk without men menning and ruining it.

hey guys I haven’t been online today sure hope I didn’t miss anything!

Dragging what feels like my reanimated corpse into the office today. You know RTO is just so beneficial for employees 🫩

chronic illness is wild because why did I wake up this morning feeling like a dirty dish plate? I am so thankful to have a very supportive manager and colleagues.

I struggle w/ "sounding" professional because it's so antithetical to how I think and speak. I am stuck on how to build my own inner confidence around this because it feels like to be taken "seriously" is to yield to what are racist, classist, and ableist norms.

Did you know that with a walking pad you can do a brisk 20 min walk in the morning in your underwear while watching Netflix and you don't have to interact with literally anyone? 10/10.

if you need me, no you don't because the first week of September has me like

I went to stream CBC radio while I'm in the office and I got two ads to join the Navy back to back. I didn't even know Canada HAD a Navy.

this would be unlawful, unacceptable and horrifying if they were "gang members" too

is protein powder just adult baby formula?

on the 29th it'll mark a year since my Kokum passed away and sometimes the grief feels like something I can still choke on. there's been so much family drama since her passing and because of this I didn't get to goto her funeral or take her to her resting place in ilex.

"The floors are the original hardwood from when the house was built in 1912!" is code for "you will get antique slivers in your feet, hope you enjoy".

now wait a ding dong damn minute, you're telling me that a comptroller ISN'T SOME SORT OF HEAVY MACHINERY OPERATOR? my northern ass thought they were like swampers or something jfc

so sorry to anyone who just overheard me speaking French my accent is… so embarrassingly bad for someone who *should* be fluent lol.

wtf is a Cracker Barrel

the venn diagram between McDonalds coffee and the drink they give you before a colonoscopy is a circle.

📢📢 this is because affordable and/or free third spaces no longer exist ‼️‼️ coffee shops are minimalist industrial nightmares, bars are $ and also suck if you’re sober (imho as a sober person lol), yes the library but it’s not a super social place.
