Do you think it's a coincidence that all my ads are for moving to different countries after the state of the union?

Beware of dog

I limit myself sometimes, choosing not to apply for jobs because I don't consider myself qualified. But then I remember something my late spouse used to say to me when I was job searching. "You can do anything." Not a platitude. Not even a compliment. Delivered as fact because she believed it.

Bear is happy because she has frightened away every living thing with her sonic bark

Despite applying for many, many Community Manager and Developer Advocate roles, the job ad I keep seeing is to be a Wedding Day Dog Chaperone, which is both a) only a weekend a month and b) so very, very Portland

Here is your Bear of the day. Why is she hiding in the bush? Because I was trying to brush her fluffy butt

Anyone else ever have the desire to just look a hiring manager in the eyes and yell "I could do this job sooooo good!" or have I have been job searching long enough to lose my mind

Sometimes the world is so overwhelming, but then in the quiet of my house, I hear my dog snoring, and I know that at least for now, everything is okay

Hello from Bear 🥰

Hello, friends! I'm back on the internet (mostly)

✨ hair by humidity ✨

I forgot to post here for a while 😬 so here is Bear

Blue sky (not pictured)

Our walks mostly involve Bear laying on my neighbors' lawns

I have new neighbors and we have opened trade between our nations. They gave me enchiladas and flan, and I gave them bread and roses

Things I said to the dentist during my cleaning: - I'm worried my teeth know I'm depressed - I brush my teeth while I cry to save time - If tears built enamel, I could bite through this drill right now

A child dressed as SpiderMan just made eye contact with me through his mask, climbed a stop sign, got his backpack stuck on the stop sign, and had to be removed by his mom

Wind in my hair like a glorious pony

Earth 💜 the more I think about/learn how bizarre and strange and complex planets and moons are, how difficult and random even geology is, the more I appreciate *life.* We look for things like ancient signs of simple bacteria but ! polar bears exist and they PLAY. All that randomness for this majesty

Wind in my hair like a glorious pony

Being wrong and being willing to learn are part of the work.

Ok, let me say this with my full chest because some of y’all out here tripping When you sit at the intersection of whiteness & marginalization, please know that your queerness doesn’t make you a racist your whiteness does When you weaponize whiteness, your marginalization is a smokescreen 

Black women deserve everything.

As one of my favorite creators* says, "Accept first. Understand later." No one has to explain their experience to you. You should still respect them. *white_woman_whisperer on TikTok

In whatever way you choose to show up today, I'm glad you're here 💜

@angelamimi.bsky.social you're here! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ You've probably been here for a while and I didn't know, but I'm happy to see you 😊

It's a wonderful day to listen to and uplift Black women.

Good morning from Bear. She woke up ✨intense✨ today

✨ boundaries ✨

I'm outside damn it

Do not interrupt the hellhound's ice cream break

The Skyline seems troubled today. May I offer Bear at her puppy school graduation (she ripped the certificate out of the trainer's hand and shredded it)

Rest is not a reward. Rest is a necessity. You don't have to earn it. It has no moral value.

I hope this email finds you. We are testing homing technology. Prepare for impact

PLEASE help my friend afford Emergency Dental Treatment!!! 🚨🦷🚨 Venmo: eppFM If you can’t donate, PLEASE share! 🙏🏽

Thought I was having a cardiac event but there was a frosted flake in my bra

If you try to compete with my pillows, you will lose

We should rewrite this in Clojure

You know what? I'm not happy. I'm going to be anxious and sad and weird, and that's still worthwhile

Bear says go back to bed

Question: how do you deal with nosy neighbors who are mean and tell the neighborhood kids (unprompted) he doesn't like you bc you're fat and "eat too much candy"? Obviously my network of child spies is on my side

My new car is now complete

Sometimes instead of eating lunch, I think about lunch for approximately 4 hours and then panic eat a loaf of bread

I don't want to be a person I want to be a nebula

Not pictured: my dog about to pull me into hell chasing a crow

Soon (threatening)

I'm in the trees now. I shan't be returning to society

Good evening from Bear. She just scared a child, ate two flies, and barked at a takeout container
