omg, WOULD I
taylor swift's british accent is going to haunt me in my sleep. send tweet
i'm no stranger to waking up in the middle of the night with anxiety or stress, but last night at 4am, i woke up...happy? jazzed? full of good thoughts?
i never could have anticipated how much mental health relief i would gain by becoming a bookseller
as an indie bookseller, can confirm!
as an ATL native, i'm dying to know where you've been enjoying coffee while you've been here!
i learned yesterday 45 min before their panel that the LoadingReadyRun folks, who i have loved for over 11 years, are there and i live less than 3 miles away 😵💫 they've never been to ATL before and i blew it, on top of all the other cool MC shit
just received a whopping $4.84 from a class action settlement. i promise not to let it go to my head
another reason these stretch and get leggy, esp when the leaves aren't big enough to match proportionally, is bc they're trying to look for light! so it might not be getting enough in its current spot; any closer you can move it to the window would likely help.
some people heard "'I' is a proper noun" and really took that to heart
If you like pina coladas
And taking cabs in the rain
We were driving in silence
Across Pont Champlain
just bought my ticket to the SF Ruby conference in November--i'm excited to see some folks i haven't seen in ages! sfruby.com
thank you for sharing; i'm a trans swimmer and this is absolutely devastating
ahhh congrats!!
it worked. trans people are so powerful
hell yeah, this looks amazing!!
trans privilege is lowering my hormone dose so my body heat lowers and summer is more bearable. cis people could never
it's so happy, omg
i've been using liquid IV too, but a concussion/POTS PT recommended LMNT brand and i've liked it so far; def a lil saltier, which i like
also, i actually appreciate that you don't include book covers; it puts the focus on your thoughts and prevents some scrolling hivemind from the rest of reading-focused internet. i've definitely taken recs from your lists that i likely wouldn't have had covers been included.
thanks for sharing--i always enjoy your reading round-ups!
ooh same. this ep will override and let me cry too
in 2025, i have been quietly changing...my whole life? and apparently it's paying off!!!
very slowly, yet all at once, i have clawed my way out of debilitating illness and am now an aquatic athlete that eats decently well? fuck. yeah.
today i had a registered dietician tell me i'm "doing everything right"??? i have had a conflicted relationship with food for my entire life and definitely never could have expected to hear that 😭
i am so PUMPED!!
but where's the chili?
i wish there were a way to find people from previous social networks. like, whatever happened to the guy i lowkey flirted with on a livejournal community dedicated to cryptically posting song lyrics?
nothing so damn beautiful as this
i saw one of those but didn't see *who* was watching 💀
i definitely would!
