i scrolled too fast and genuinely thought this was a picture of george carlin

like, yes, it's different when someone asks you in private rather than in a group, but bro literally already set 8 routes before the event, why would you even presume to put him with the top rope newbies? Sometimes just recognize that people question your authority cos yr on some nonsense

remember that time an organizer gave you permission to something they'd denied a POC, and you were like "i'm tall and white, people just trust me, bro" and the organizer actually apologized to the POC and said "I hope that isn't what was happening here"

so much happened this weekend my brain is doing the replay thing where i'm like "oh i completely forgot about that" because it happened before i spent 2 hours hauling plastic holds and bolts up a wall, sopping up an entire laundry tub of water, and hauling a 150lb locker up to the 2nd floor

so sorry, glad you had a good one

“Feud with the Pope” is BACK as a likely Wikipedia section heading after a 400-year gap.

I made a thing yesterday, you can go climb it for the rest of the season

I hate that she was alone, I hate that she worked on that day, I hate that we don’t know and will probably never know why she died

My mom’s last still-local sister is moving out of state, and her sadness makes me sad we couldn’t stay in Texas for Laurel

If you see this, quote with a picture of you in glasses.

#CDFriday this is the point where I said “this amount of grief is gratuitous, I need to just put this away for a while”

I’m so sorry, that’s so hard 💕

I mean more housing will help with demand, but property taxes are creating a floor for rents

i'm so sick of pretending that the wrong answers machine is exciting new tech in work contexts so that I look like a team player

what is the app?

had to explain "B/W" as a music term and as a joke format on a reddit post i later discovered was in the fashy version of the thing i was posting about, i'm tired of being old on the internet

just gonna wear something laurelian every day

the green wall criticism was weird to read at first having just left portland where the danger is the green walls being too green.

can i just wear a pentacle for business meetings?

10 years ago amazon was recruiting me to be a software developer, now they're texting me to work their gig economy shifts. Sorry Bezos, it's not me who's struggling with recruitment.

it's 80F in my apartment, every work emergency got pushed to today "when Amie's back" and my landlord suddenly showed up to work on the AC with like 1-2hrs notice. i can't.

Give each other grace, cmon

A woman on the El dropped her water bottle when the train lurched and was like “OMG obviously I’m a n00b”
No ma’am, we’ve all fallen apart on transit it’s just part of the city and we have to avoid each other grace

On the way home we were rolling our suitcases from the bus and a woman holding an air compressor to inflate her trucks front tire said hello and we were united in shitshow-in-public-ness

So many people have airport Takes™️ and I was all of them this weekend. Excessively early, overstuffed carryon, weeping randomly, overly sweaty (sorry AUS the weather was lovely but the A/C is still not allowed to go out). All of Laurel’s stuff made it tho

I can’t believe I went to Texas for two days and change and just like, cried out all the piss and didn’t shit the entire time
