I took a well-deserved mental health day away from the office and the daily microaggressions. I drove up to Idyllwild this morning, top down, for a scenic drive and some breakfast. 10 out of 10.

It depends on how hot it was outside. Those dog days in the low country could suffocate you.

Since when did Amazon start gatekeeping select retail items for Prime members only? Don't need to be chained to a company just because I want to order a $5 dashboard phone mount. There's a reason I cancelled my Prime membership in the first place. The nerve of these folks. Lemme get on ova to TEMU.😮‍💨

Found this seasoning in my local Mexican market. Don't sleep on it if you're looking for a change of pace with your wings. 😚👌🏾

It's been a six-month wait since the pre-sale, but today the book (the first copy I ordered) has finally arrived! I can't wait to dive in. 🤓 @claycane.bsky.social

As I do the math, my plan B is looking more and more solid. Showing up to work every day and continuing to live in this culture is beginning to look increasingly unnecessary. I just need to learn enough language of the spot I'm eyeballing to get by and convince my partner that a move is possible.

Eight more classes to go! So much hard work and stress, but I can finally start to make out the finish line on the horizon. Never doubt yourself or think you're too old to strive toward your goals.

Damn, I did not know I needed Heated Rivalry in my life. This show hit me all up in the feels... 🥲

Give it up for the Charbroil Big Easy. Coming up clutch off the bench for another holiday.

Feeling so conflicted right now. I have a good paying job and I'm pursuing a degree. I'm feeling so burnt out right now. Working a full-time job and taking classes is a lot plus I need to take CE course to maintain my cert, but I feel guilty about considering skipping a term. Bandwidth depleted. 😭

I hope you exercise your right to vote today, especially if you stayed home last year. I was going to add a list of rights we lost in 2025 alone just to drive home the point, and I am mortified to find how much has already been rolled back I can't fit into one post. civilrights.org/trump-rollba...

Watching the Dodgers bumble their way into another World Series win was like watching the orange baffoon win in 2024. My level of hate for them runs that deep. Worst of all, my Dodger fans coworkers are going to be talking shit, but they can't name more than two players on the damn team.

A reminder for those who need it. I'm going to cancel another streaming subscription, specifically HBO Max since they're doing a cash grab right now, and redirect that money into a monthly donation to my local food bank. youtube.com/watch?v=DO4M...

You'd think AWS would employ some form of compartmentalization further within the infrastructure. I can't log into my University's portal this afternoon and it sucks. Good thing I memorized the instructions of one of my assignments so at least I can work on it offline. 🤦🏾‍♂️

The proper way to spell misery is, h-u-m-i-d-i-t-y. I moved from the East to the West coast many moons ago to get away from this nonsense. I just took my second shower of the day, and now I'm locking myself in my bedroom with the AC cranked up. Gas and electric be damned! 🌬️🥶🐧😎

Did I f*cking time travel today??? Where has all the time gone? I still have homework to finish and dinner to cook. *sigh*

The long game. The satisfaction of seeing a plan all the way through gives a pleasurable experience for the bits and bobs.

Today the Yankees scored twelve runs in their game. The Pirates scored sixteen runs in a different game. In spite of what would normally be a comical amount of runs for a team to score in any baseball game, both teams lost today. SMH. Baseball is a funny game.

Anyone else's dog THIS obsessed with their ball that they have to safeguard it while eating dinner?🤭

I just can't.

Today, a self-proclaimed n@zi attempted to mediate a public online fight between an alleged drug abusing incontinent rich man and the POTUS. We are truly living in our last days.

Nothing to see here. Just the ground moving underneath my feet. As you were.

Whenever I'm feeling blue or having an all-around shitty day, I pop open BlackSky and all these display names get me every time. I see a new one almost every day that makes me giggle out loud and then I realize my display name is lame AF then I'm blue again. Thanks @tdanger19.bsky.social

Have you ever been so exhausted to the point your brain starts to throb? I mean, you can actually feel your heartbeat up there? 🧠🫀🤕

Drink your water and mind your business, but keep your 👀 on the ball.... www.project2025.observer

Can I open my Chriwismas pwesents yet? Puhweeeze?🥺🐕

Yeah, THIS is normal...🙄

The "mediocrity" is on full display at work today. Imma sit back and watch this mess play out... 🍿👀

My little slice of joy for today. He was the runt and extremely shy when I brought him home. It's been awesome watching him develop confidence. 🥰

The last few weeks have made me feel disenchanted and powerless, so I feel compelled to do some good. I decided to renew my monthly donation to the local food bank. It won't fix everything, but it's a start. www.sandiegofoodbank.org
