She/any. Just a person with paint
I’ve spent the better part of a decade wondering if getting an English degree was a worth it (re: barely making living wage until this year at 35) but reading all the absolutely brain dead takes on Pluribus I think learning critical and textual analysis may be one of the better choices I’ve made.

I think I may have finally figured out the mirror selfie 🤔

Thought I should schedule a therapy session about something but then forgot my headphones at the gym and I think figured it out on the stairmaster in 15 min less time and for $55 less

Decided to hard launch a shag mullet right before multiple thanksgivings

Didn’t get a birthday wish from them so I guess that’s that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

For the second time this month I have heckled “Okay, Marshall McLuhan” at something I was watching/listening to. At least I remember something from that Communications degree

Just finished watching Shrinking and it certainly makes the case for not having any friends

Also just signed up for a work trip to the UK and realized that while I missed out on a lot in college I can now get paid while visiting sites like Addison’s Walk. (“This year time’s nature will no more defeat you,
Nor all the promised moments in their passing cheat you.”

Not sure how to explain that my music consumption is just me listening to the one song I must hear ~3 times in a row and then going “well that’s enough music for the week” without sounding like a psychopath

Anyways just heard Fate of Ophelia

I feel like my new official boundary for friends and mental health stuff is while I love a good vent session and can help with your garden variety depression and anxiety advice I’m not available for serious or emotional stuff unless you’re in therapy too.

My hot take is that as an adult you don’t have to be everyone’s friend.

I think it’s a crappy thing to instill in kids but also play and school are the work of kids and we do need to learn to get along with future coworkers or other community members we don’t like.

Whoops never followed up on that last post. Anyways I feel like my closet is mostly “sexy wedding guest dress” or “slacks a well dressed coworker who never met me immediately recognized were from wildfang”

What does one wear to a retirement party for their father at a very conservative seminary

Also I guess I just don’t think that you can speedrun deconstruction

That feeling when you don’t need to call up your therapist but wish you could spill some really niche tea

I have persistently wondered why ND people hate office level small talk but then I realized that the weather is one of my special interests

Can’t wait to explain furries and 4chan to my boomer in-laws.

They say that neurodivergent people struggle at work because they “don’t understand hierarchy” but personally I feel like relationships with an org chart built in are the clearest and easiest 😂

Very surreal to see my never-religious friends sharing videos of Doug Wilson and Mark Driscoll.

So I am stepping down a dose on a med I’ve been on for almost a decade and instead of feeling crappy I’m feeling so rested and getting great sleep stats on my fitness watch. It’s known for helping with nightmares but apparently it does that by suppressing REM sleep???

“Don’t wear this!” “Such and such is aging you!” fashion reels from women I would never want to look like anyways?

I do cognitively but don’t empathetically understand the concept of different hairstyles. I have a Platonic ideal of mine in mind and want it to look exactly the same all the time, like I am a cartoon character.

My unpopular opinion (as a 30 something with a growing list of specialists) is that I think the “____ warriors” type of language is cringy. It doesn’t make me feel seen as a person just looking to have my issues taken seriously so I can focus on being literally anything else.

Re: the Coldplay kiss cam incident- some people weren’t raised with the fear that an all-seeing god was watching their every move and now live with a constant sense of being monitored and it shows

Formative homeschooled moment: playing the Game of Life with my Quiverfull friends and trying to avoid the “have a baby” spaces while they tried to land in them all.
