Collegiate level Spanish taught me all about Islamic influence on architecture in the Iberian peninsula, but it did not teach me the vocabulary I've had to learn just to fight with my old-ass neighbor via Whatsapp voice messages.

Every once in a while, I get pretty sad about having left the US. Then I get a voicemail from a medical debt collector and I laugh and laugh.

Just had a painfully compassionate convo about being queer/GNC in the US right now w/ a random helpdesk agent. He's concerned for both me and his friends abroad that it's not a good idea to come back to the US next month. "You'll get in, but I don't know if you'll get back out." 5/5 customer service

Just taught some Portuguese college students how to correctly use "Oh, bless your heart." Within the hour they'd successfully weaponized it against me.

It's fun being the first one divorced in my social circle. Now people come to me when they're ending LTRs/marriages like I'm the town's wise, old spinster who lives up on the windy hill.

Went on an unsuccessful date today. When the food came, he put his hands over his plate and gave his burrito "reiki energy" to "improve the flavor." I gotta get out of this town.

This holiday season, I'm reminded of the yearly fruit basket charity sale at the Food Lion I worked for in high school. They said it was for the retirement home nearby. In actuality, It was a scam to increase sales numbers so the managers would get bonuses.
Happy holidays from Food Lion.

When you get really stressed out about life and its onslaught of emotional torments, you can always bake a pumpkin pie for your friends. Whisking is good for the brain.

I made my therapist laugh so that means I don't have to accept the things I cannot change for at least two days.

A lot of phone and chat support jobs have moved to WFH. That means a significant percentage of the customer service people you speak with aren't wearing pants. I'm not even wearing a shirt right now. Please keep this in mind when calling in. We're people too. Indecent people.

My lawyer just asked me to drop off an envelope full of cash at her office. I think I hired a "family" lawyer instead of a "family lawyer."

A rich, older woman said "It's amazing you live in a school bus. It's so cool." I wanted to say that it's amazing and cool how her generation amassed so much wealth, real estate, and political power that it financially crippled everyone younger than them. But I'm a very polite boy, so I didn't.

People say "I would never join a cult," but let-me-tell-you-firsthand it only takes two or three questionable life decisions to end up living in a school bus on a commune owned by an old guy who goes by "Peach Cobbler."

On her deathbed my grandmother gave me a list of every person who'd ever wronged her and detailed instructions on how to properly behead a rooster.
