Me, during the work week: struggles to wake up with the alarm.

Me, on a Saturday morning when I have nowhere to be and nothing particular to do: wakes up 20 minutes before my typical alarm would sound, without it set. For no reason at all.

:sigh:

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?
“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

In all my years as a musician, I've never heard anyone say we're struggling because of the Internet Archive.

I am once again shouting into the void that if your job requires a Master's Degree, it should pay at least enough for rent on a one bedroom apartment within a reasonable commuting distance.

Really all jobs should, but my God.

I came up with a great roller derby name today and I kind of want to join a team just so I can use it.

Me: I'm struggling with some tasks and I feel like a failure when I don't accomplish things even though in every other aspect of life I'm doing well.
My mom: Can you just do it without putting pressure on yourself?

Me: I have literally never done anything without putting pressure on myself.

Me: I feel so much more comfortable in my own skin and sexy at 39 than I did in my 20s.

Also me: dresses like Aziraphale in #goodomens

A bald eagle flew in front of my car on the way to work this morning. I didn't even think we had bald eagles in New York.

When I was in undergrad for theatre, we were told to never audition with Sondheim until we were over 30 because we didn't have the life experience. I get it now. Being Alive hits different at 38.

Was thinking about this today. One of my favorite things my mom has ever done was when her new neighbor put up a confederate flag, she put out her Pride flag. The next day, the confederate flag was gone. She kept her Pride flag up.
