just found out my saturn return is going to last until 2028 someone plz just take me out of my misery.

turning 30 feels less scary because of the cliche “getting old” thing and more that the choices i’ve made are calcifying into a life that i can’t escape.

some people need to learn shame. not me. but some people.

she’s a @debutiful.bsky.social dozen ✨

made an apple cider cake and it is so peak fall you could not believe.

in a fur coat screaming to chaise lounge by wet leg on the way to get a martinis and smash burgers with a friend it’s giving peak girlhood.

love to make myself a romantic ass dinner.

realized my apartment floors match the cover of leonora carrington’s complete stories today.

department head thought i was a virgo today should i be offended.

doctor told me i needed to eat dark chocolate every day to help with my anemia and fainting and you know what i am complaining about a lot of things but NOT that.

starting to have a freak out about turning thirty as i witness another friend’s engagement and think about how i have spent most of my twenties (as a capricorn) focused on my career rather than my friends or family or even love life so yeah…don’t text.

have come to the conclusion that if i had had a sister instead of three younger brothers a lot of things in my life would be going better.

the horrors persist but so does the beer.

have had to start showering with water from my brita because my filtered showerhead order keeps getting canceled and the water in massachusetts is literally making my hair and skin disintegrate.

seems like the easier solution is to give everyone free healthcare and pay for it by like buying 17 less missiles or taxing 53 dudes 1.8 percent more

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

turning 30 in a little under two months if anyone wants to give me tips on how to get my life in order.

at the point of dissociative depression where i am treating myself like a doll. like okay yes here is your little doll house. here is your little doll body. how will you adorn it. how will you face the horrors of the next day.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

it’s supposed to snow on tuesday plz god no.

does anyone have tips on how to make friends in a new place lol (for an introvert)

depressed as shit but today i did buy a $400 italian designer shirt at my locally owned thrift store for $10

men are so fucked in the head that they will literally apologize to my boyfriend about obscenely hitting on me before they will apologize to me.

if the world is ending maybe i should start smoking cigarettes again.

have gotten to the point of building my wardrobe where the majority of what i wear every day is thrifted or gifted and yes it does make me feel superior to you.

sobbing or whatever

watching zohran mamdani hug taxi drivers and sobbing as one does on a tuesday afternoon.

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

made a soup full of twenty vegetables and of course had to balance out its consumption by drinking a beer.

quite literally pursuing every avenue for our deaths.

we have come to the time of year where my entire body peels.

think this might be my last year in academia lol.

okay do filtered showerheads actually work because my scalp is screaming.

If you were looking to close out this spooky season with some scary good trans horror, do I have the list for you! Featuring frights by @emotrophywife.bsky.social, @ttmaddenwrites.bsky.social, @zefrrr.bsky.social, @eveharms.com , @scumbelievable.bsky.social @haileypiperfights.bsky.social, and more!

referenced clueless last week in a department meeting and everyone looked at me like i had two heads if you want to know how being the youngest person in the department is going.

buying myself designated vintage ice cream bowls is one of the best decisions i’ve made this year.

i would love to live near my friends for so many reasons but especially because i want to babysit their children and take them trick or treating 😭😭😭

last of the leaves on today’s hike.

you know what’s soooo boring? being jealous of your friends. grow up.

i think the bakery should offer a flight option on the menu. just a few sample size baked treats for like twenty bucks you know. sometimes i get so anxious knowing i only get one shot at this treat and might choose badly

anyway i went to the farmer’s market today (that i can walk to from my house?!) and am already grieving two weeks from now when it closes for the season ):

academia is so fun as a young femme lol. i feel so respected.

turns out the coffee shop i love doesn’t give pieces of chocolate with their matcha lattes to just everyone and yes i AM in fact special.

drinking spooky special cocktails at a bar with free craft pizza and reading my students absolutely bonkers amazing stories and sometimes i am so grateful to be alive.

yaaaaay Diana! Adding: If you're trying to mind meta-articles that summarize and compare a lot of research on a specific topic, add "systematic review" to your search. Check your local library's website for MORE free academic sources! Check out scholar.archive.org for more free scholarly stuff

the only thing keeping me sane right now is ridiculously long walks and soon it will be too cold / snowy for long walks so oh my god what am i supposed to do then?! (plz give me tips for surviving my first new england winter.)

my (hot?!) take is that selling a book should pay your bills for at least six months but sadly this is not the case.

love being in an industry like academia where you have to juggle learning an entirely new job in an entirely new place while applying for new jobs across the country that will start 10 months from now because you’re not sure if your contract will be renewed next year.

my dad keeps being like “don’t smoke cigarettes” as if i haven’t lived through forest fires with an AQI of 600.

I am not meant to be spending nights alone in the Northeast I am meant to be at a punk show in a gritty West Coast city.
