Read an article stating that Bluesky will never have the amount of users that the other place does. As if that’s a bad thing? There’s something to be said about quality over quantity.
They can have their bot-infested dystopia over there, whilst we have tea and scones in front of the fire over here.

As I end my Thanksgiving day, a few things that I am thankful for:
- having a holiday off with pay
- spending a whole day (mostly) relaxing with my kids
- pie
- introspection
- a comfy bed

This job has me convinced that people, grown ass adult people, refuse to read.
Especially if they have to read instructions. They want someone to hold their mf-ing hand.

I started watching Christmas movies on the 1st. I just needed to this year.
Someone just told me it’s “too early” to be watching Christmas films.

Saw this guy on the side of one of the toy buckets and thought the kids had a really realistic new toy.
Then I moved the bucket and squealed because I had no idea how a live frog got in the house. (Mind you, it was only a little bigger than my thumbnail.)

I hate mornings like this.
I’m tired because my son was up multiple times. Didn’t realize it was daylight savings time - made everyone get up because I thought it was getting late. The kids cannot stop talking or making noise or needing my attention. My headphones aren’t even helping.

I’m here for it. Now, I just need the funding.
Okay but hear me out:
A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.

…but people in Nashville need to learn how to park on the street. In fact, they need to learn how to park their huge ass cars right, in general. There would be so much more (free) parking.

I wish I could write or type faster.
If I could get words down on a page as fast as my brain flips through thoughts, I think I could write 3 or more separate books.

I’m not doing great today.
It might be a hangover from my ex having been in town for the kids’ fall break, the general state of the country, already feeling overwhelmed because of the holidays or feeling the heaviness of lacking a for real life community here. Whatever it is, I’m in my feels today.
