Everything in its global capacity makes me want to howl in despair and then bury myself in a rotting log to die, SO I'm making a post about the stuff keeping me from doing that, which I hope will grow to an ongoing thread I can look back through 300 times a day when I need to.

I wonder if exvangelicals are more likely to be optimists or pessimists, after leaving the indoctrinated life? I feel like I'm still weirdly optimistic in significant ways, despite objectively knowing better, and I wonder how much of that is lingering jesus-stuff.

Extremely rude: tiny mastiff boy chose an old rawhide bone over playing our nightly game of Raghgraghbraghgh with me, wow. Certainly a CHOICE. 😒

I love our neighborhood and I want to build community but also I can't stay calm when someone's dog is off-leash and I end up losing it on the owner and 😑💀🔪🤡 NOT GREAT for the whole building community effort

My medical leave is finally up on March 7th, and the overwhelming dread of returning to work sure is something.

Trying a simmer pot after admiring @sometimesalways9.bsky.social's ones, for both the objectively lovely household scent and added moisture, and for the further meaning as an intentional craft - cloves (warmth/good fortune); green apples (renewal/healing); rosemary + black peppercorns (protection).

I know this isn't the point of this post, but I'm going to use it as a jumping off point to share my favorite Spanish metal/hard rock songs anyway lalalala yay ^__^
“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

this is more of an immigration policy plan than i have yet seen from any Dem who is running for office
"if we abolish ICE how will we handle undocumented immigrants" well I'm ineligible to run for office for so, so many reasons but I've got a step-by-step plan for anyone who needs it:

1. help them get some documents

I've been informed that those "Smile! You're on camera!" signs are not, in fact, cheerful invitations to smile for said cameras.

First I learn the stupid chicken joke is about death and now this?? The world is rude af.

Had an older neighbor man try to mansplain my own dog to me today, and the only reason I'm not setting his house on fire is because he has a little cocoa lab-pitt himself and does foster work.

But COME ON bro. Shut UP.

Hey, so as someone who's only had jobs where training is non-existent or nearly so, what does the training period for actual office jobs typically look like?

I realize I can ask this at interviews, but would be helpful to know outside povs too.

He was fully burrito-ed in his blanket fast asleep but still voluntarily got up when I did, just to make sure the shower was safe for me while I peed. 😭

Rewatching Malcolm in the Middle for the billionth time and the urge to get a Dewey-focused calf sleeve is rising, also for the billionth time.

Boiling with rage for the 75,636,597th time about off-leash dogs' irresponsible owners. Maybe one day I'll figure out how to just let this fucking go, but it is definitely not today.

Gustav is bored with everything I've tried to engage him today and I'm genuinely out of ideas. He's too smart to repeat a diy puzzle; he's figured out all his treat dispensing toys; we've scatter-fed in the yard and he ignores bones/chews after a bite or two. What do you waaaaaaaaant 😭😭😭😭😭

I swear I'm not trying to be That Guy because regional acclimatization is totally real and valid BUT: Boston has almost 2ft of snow on the ground and *almost no windchill* with above-zero/below-freezing temps. THIS IS AWESOME. This much snow but able to be out in it in just a hoodie and jeans? MAGIC
