Bro, I found out through my mom's Facebook that my sibling is moving to New York today (they live in the south) like I knew they had plans, and had been looking for a job but didn't realize how soon they were moving

Working in a school in America:
I heard the Administrative Assistant asking the Attendance Clerk about what to deliver one of the appreciation gifts in and they settled on ziplock bags, but they can't go to Sam's until Thursday so they're asking in the group chat if any of the teachers have any

Since my sibling has come out as nonbinary they keep changing their nickname on steam which results in me texting them NEW PREFERRED NAME?? DO YOU WANT ME TO CALL YOU THAT?? and them being like, it's whatever dude I'm trying things out
Like sorry I'm trying to be a supportive sister and ally

I don't understand how people get mean when drunk, like I just start crying because I'm overwhelmed with love and how beautiful my cat it

being a girl is fun, I just started crying because I realized I was only on day 2 not day 3 of my period 🫠

my like pettiest annoyance about going to my in-laws for Christmas is that we can't take our dog because they haven't properly socialized theirs. But in my defense it's annoying to have to find someone to watch him for us. Like it's Christmas I don't want to bother other people :/

i know people always tease the acting in old tv shows and how over dramatic it tends to be, but watching Star Trek TOS, with how often there’s a duplicate of Kirk, Shatner does a good job of changing his body language so it is clear if it’s the duplicate or real Kirk

my toxic trait is that i get hangry, but i also cannot force myself to make and eat food if it doesn’t sound good
if someone else makes it i can force myself to eat it
this leads to hangry me hiding in a corner so i’m but mean to others

proof reading my SIL’s college essays is so hard, i think she’s a junior now and the writing level isn’t, to be fair to her though, the prompt from her prof also felt like it was for high schoolers and not a college course, I think it might be a mix of that and the fact that it’s only a 2-3 pg paper

extended family did Christmas gifts early so we could be together to open. one set of aunts/uncles got me a gift: colorful leggings, tried to act excited about them but when i wear leggings i typically wear black leggings with pockets, when we left i noticed she accidentally got a kids L not adult…

my dad’s side of the family we basically only see at funerals and weddings since my grandparents died, and gosh i forgot how conservative they are, but my dad has become so much more open and understanding over the past few years and i’m so proud of him

my mental health hasn’t been great, so my husband tried to find the gentlest way of asking if i was pms-y, so we pulled up my period tracker and it basically said idk anymore, so he just snuck chocolate next to me. he’s great 🥰

the downside of having a big dog, is he just has his head on my leg and it’s causing my foot to go to sleep

One of the fun things about working at a school is the little lies you tell to kids.
Like no super powers can’t kick in until you’re an adult, so those kids telling you they have super powers are lying to you, but mine and your parents’ are 100% real

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

the downside of my spouse getting a phd is we’re ultimately going to move based on where he can get a job, so i feel so in limbo and like i can’t really put down roots because we’re only here for like 2-3 more years

trying to figure out if seasonal depression has kicked in real fast or if it has to do with being sick. my mental health had been the best it had been since junior high and now it’s down the drain again

in terms of my mental health: the only thing stopping me from going to the store and buying a bottle of hair dye is i don’t think my job would like unnatural hair colors and i worry i’d look weird with a “natural” hair color that isn’t my own
