Ok palate cleanse time. In case you missed it, here's my most popular post ever
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

How is it only 8:45 I ask with bleary eyes. Today's going to be a long one, isn't it. 😑

Was originally going to go into IT/systems analysis, but student affairs was a backup career goal thanks an excellent Dean of Students (miss you JLo!). Lucked out of IT but into a financial aid position and here I am now doing aid administration and light systems work. Best of both worlds!
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

The sleepies have me in their grasp this morning. Thanking the gods I'm WFH today and can at least be cozy while plugging away at student aid applications. 😴

I can't be the only person who heard the Order's Fibonacci song in Outer Worlds 2 and had to go off to listen to Doctor Steel's Fibonacci Sequence.

Think it's going to be a blanket burrito kind of day after work. Send sad music and snacks please and thanks.

Queer BlueSky: How old were you when you came out and how old are you now?

I want to say I was 18 when I was forced out of the closet in rural Oklahoma. My first sexual interaction with a dude and he blabs to some mutual friends about blowing me. Still working on that trauma/my trust issues at 34 🥲
Queer BlueSky: How old were you when you came out and how old are you now?

I came out freshman year of college, I was 18. I’d spent a year struggling with being Catholic, an Eagle Scout, and weird feelings towards guys in my classes before it all just clicked into place

I’m 33 now
"Queer BlueSky: how old were you when you came out and how old are you now?"

Came out on MySpace when I was 16, before my junior year of high school. My boyfriend and I got caught fooling around by his step dad like a month later and his parents forced me to come out to my parents.

I’m 35 now.

Weird luck!? My usual pub has the Sunflower Showdown on the bar television. Like, it's the one football game I'm actually semi-invested in since I grew up in the Little Apple. Guess I'm sticking around longer than normal today.

Made my bike commute to campus only to have no scholarship checks to pick up. The weather is awesome for cycling though, so silver lining. 😊

The joy of somehow donking up your left ankle and right knee and having to deal with that while living on the third floor. 😬
