YEARS. Apparently I am to keep my nose out of Shrewsbury matters even though it is absolutely my hometown

I got into a tangle on the Shrewsbury Facebook group last week when a bunch of people were pulling anti-trans nonsense in response to the Jordan pond shooting. One woman was like “you don’t even live here, stay out of it.” She doubled down when I told her my parents had a house in the Bury for FORTY

Everyday there is some weird thing that comes out of this man’s mouth

Me (with no prior context): What do you think of the name “the Bob Geldof Center for Performative Activism”?
@phdinprogress17.bsky.social: Oh, its going to be one of those days.

Ready for Christmas

Program for union hill school “A very cool and jazzy winter” at the Worcester academy theater.

Holiday concert at Worcester Academy for Jack. I guess the school doesn’t have room for the concert so we’re in a very fancy auditorium. @phdinprogress17.bsky.social

It’s ten days before Christmas and I actually have all my presents wrapped. #pleaseclap

Yeah I mean that sucks but so does the fact that I spent all last night researching bankruptcy 🤷‍♀️ Double covered only to not be covered at all.

Yesterday I received a notice that because I was double covered last year and apparently gave all my doctors the incorrect primary insurance, a year and a half worth of medical bills have been denied and I may be on the hook for $24,000. Oh yeah and I heard Brian Thompson died.

It was such a fun little encounter - with both of us complimenting our mutual sense of mobility aid style.

We went to the aquarium today and I had my hot pink rollator with me. This girl in a wheelchair stopped me and complimented how sassy it was and then I noticed the rainbow spokes on her chair. THEN she revealed that she had rigged up bike lights in the wheels and I squealed.

My husband just said “I made space for the cheese in the fridge” and without even thinking I asked if he was also finding power in that.

One of my best friends in the world has been through the wringer over the past few years. He’s helped me out so much through our friendship (he loaned me my retainer when I got divorced 8 years ago 😂). If you can help or share I’d appreciate. www.gofundme.com/f/help-nick-...

I’m so sorry you also know the feeling. It’s the memories that get me - you know. There isn’t a single person in the whole world who knows those stories besides me and her

My whole life I’ve wanted to be friends with someone who would prefer to be with me above anyone else. (Apart from spouses). For decades I thought I had that and I am having a lot of trouble dealing with the fact that it has never been true.

Exactly!

There should be a universal ban on meetings that run from 11-1 unless lunch is provided and I will die on this hill.

Oof. Relatable content

I just broke up with my former best friend of 35 years. I tried to fix the relationship and I’m mostly just left with a litany of criticisms about my personality and character. Say something nice about me because I need it 🥲 this has been a year long process and I still have no idea what happened.

With you. New platform, same typos

*this is not a text about my darling husband @richferba.bsky.social

I think everyone should disengage from relationships with people who think all the problems will be solved if you just fix everything they think is wrong work you.

Omg I hosted my first student focus group solo at @ccri and being around students must made me feel like I was at home again. Oh god I loved it 😍😍😍

Yeah. I’ve come to that conclusion unfortunately. The connection is all pain and zero payoff at this point

I will explain how I feel after I get some perspective

That insulting? Just off the bat with no context. Is that just a regular old statement or what?

I have to crowdsource something because it’s driving me crazy. If a former friend told you, as an explanation for why they no longer wanted to engage with you : “I care about having a regulated nervous system and you seem to just live your life at that level” (meaning unregulated), would you find

We don't need conspiracy theories about the election. We lost for a wide range of reasons, fair and unfair, local, national, and international--look at the wave of incumbents losing elections in the last years--and giving in to MAGA-style nonsense is very much NOT the solution.

A bag of candies that says “shaqalicious xl gummies.” They are gummy candies that are in the shape of Shaquille o”Neil’s head. Yes, I’m serious.

My husband came home with Shaq themed gummies. Which are basically gummies in the shape of Shaq’s head. But are blue. And taste like Swedish fish.

No way! I work in Warwick now - we should totally get together
