I know people would joke with me saying “you’ll spend a lot of time answering questions like ‘what’s my email password?’” as a public librarian. And somehow I am still shocked at how little people know about computers
One year down, lord knows how many to go 😅

I love how me getting angry about ChatGPT causes everyone in my family to immediately treat me like I’m being hysterical 🫠

Is it dumb to cry about one of my favorite players being traded? Probably. But Nimmo has been with the Mets since before the Bad Decade of my life. He was on the 2024 team AND the 2015 team. He was on the team when my cousins were all still alive

In my stranger things rewatch, and I know there are a lot of issues with season 4, but I’m reminded how much Max’s plot really hit home for me. Having intense grief when losing someone you love but also had an incredibly complicated relationship with. Grief is weird and hard

Christ that game was fucking wild. BS call against Horvat. Sweet baby Romy injured. And the almost game tying goal with .2 seconds on the clock thankful for a goalie interference call
Lord what a time on the road it’s been 😅

The witch made him hot chocolate.
"They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am."
He took a sip.
"They say I can overcome any hardship."
"Mm," said the witch.
"And I can. I do."
The witch said nothing.
"But I shouldn't have to!"
"No."
The witch held the hero as he wept.
"No, you shouldn't."

Upd8 my roommate left for the afternoon so I’ve eaten lunch AND taken a shower AND even washed some of my dishes 😌
My roommate is almost never home during the day
So naturally on a day where I just want to veg and have 0 human interaction, she’s been bustling around our kitchen and living area all day
I haven’t even eaten because of how badly I do not want to physically be in a space with another person

I really hate that catching feelings for a man can still cause me to have a menty b in my 30s. Because apparently deep down I’m still an insecure 15 year old who wants someone to think she’s pretty and matters (romantically)

I love how I’ve been told since I was a teenager that I need to have more confidence
DONT YOU THINK IF I KNEW HOW TO DO THAT I WOULD HAVE DONE IT BY NOW?!?!?! IT’S ALMOST WORSE THAN THE JUST BE HAPPY TO CURE DEPRESSION CROWD

This would be how it would end. The underdogs blow it to the epitome of capitalistic greed. Goliath beats David. 2025 in a nutshell tbh. God I hate the fucking Dodgers man

I’m pretty sure men are only interested in me if I’m not interested in them. And like, once they perceive the barest HINT of interest on my part, they are IMMEDIATELY repulsed. IS THIS JUST ME?!?!?!

All of my shoes seem to be falling apart at the same time. My boots, my sneakers, my boat shoes, multiple pairs of flats. And shoes feel so expensive I’m so tired of spending money to buy things I wish I had just one versatile pair of shoes 😭

I always thought my 8th grade English teacher hated me, only to find out as an adult that sometimes teachers like to pair up crushes in class. Every time our desks were rearranged in her class, I ALWAYS was put next to the guy I had a crush on

I have no plans for Halloween and it is making me Sad. But will I ask anyone about plans or to do a thing? No because I don’t want to be an Imposition.

Shitty day at work thinking about how the people in charge of our public libraries don’t actually give a shit about what we do and will sell us out for AI/tech money and pretend they’re doing something good

I hate the concept of trunk or treat. Not only is it promote car culture but it also continues to deconstruct communities and separate people in already individualistic suburbs. I also hate suburbs

I still can’t get over the fact that a patron I helped today had her sons with her…named Oscar and Felix. I had to try so hard to contain myself because what do you MEAN you named your kids after The Odd Couple 🤣

Whenever we have all staff meetings and my boss talks about handling “people who come into the library who have mental disorders” I have to try SO HARD not to say something super sarcastic, like “I just come in to do my job and get paid” or “that’s why I’m medicated”
