They were already on thin fucking ice with me after they announced the seating would be changing but man fuck Southwest forever now for taking away free checked bags Not to be all "you just lost a loyal customer 😠" but they really did lol

Today I felt overwhelmed with despair, so I donated some money to Missouri Abortion Fund and Free Gaza Circus, two organizations I care about deeply. I've talked about MAF here before, but you can find more (including a donate link) about Free Gaza Circus on IG: www.instagram.com/free.gaza.ci...

Last night in trapeze class: "This [trapeze] bar smells like vanilla" "Oh that's probably from [aerialfeminist], she always smells like a cupcake" You're goddamn right I do 😂

Nooooo the creator of my go-to 12 hr long "Relaxing Space Music" YT video deleted their account

Upon reflection, perhaps staying awake until 2:30 am reading a book - the day following the DST change, no less - wasn't the wisest choice I've ever made

Went to the local romance bookstore to pick up a pre-order and didn't make any additional purchases, please clap

Wishing all who celebrate a joyous and blessed New Gaga Album Day ✨

I am begginggggg whoever is in charge of casting for The Traitors to put Challenge Politicking Queen Veronica Portillo on a season 🙏

I love tricks with a high "how cool it looks vs how much effort/skill/bravery it requires" ratio lol

Forcing myself to take the day off work to rest, please clap

Gf and I chatted with another couple for quite awhile at the dog park today and we hit it off enough that I'm now IG mutuals with one of them and omg I really want them to be our friends So naturally I'm anxiously replaying the entire interaction in my mind and second-guessing everything 😅

You’ve outdone yourself @thegurglingcod.bsky.social

I had no idea who she was when I started watching this season of Traitors but I would die for Gabby

"I'm just depressed bc it's really fucking cold and gloomy, that's all" *a week of sun and temps in the 50s and 60s, still depressed* "....fuck"

I still love a good single elbow hang but woof it's going to take some time to get my tolerance back up 💀

I haven't done shit on lyra in a couple of months, in part because trapeze has been my bar apparatus of choice lately, but I hopped back on my hoop - featuring its new pretty tape job! - and vibed a bit today (Also I'd normally mute the vid but I'm leaving the background music in because reasons 😅)

On a teams call with a coworker (she's sharing her screen) and we had a question about a regulation so she googled for clarification and then just...read the AI overview as if it was inherently accurate Pardon me while I scream

I know this isn't the usual space where I talk about book stuff but god Sierra Simone's ability to combine top-notch smut with some of the most beautiful writing on death, grief, and spirituality I've ever read is why she's my favorite romance author (and in contention for fave all-around author)

I am extremely agnostic about spirituality and the afterlife but in the hypothetical where dog heaven is real, this is how I imagine Arya to be spending her time 🥹

Woke up sad today and didn't know why, so I can only assume Arya was in my dreams and I just don't remember it 🥺 Overall I feel like I've been coping with her death decently well but god I miss that dog so much 😭

The kind of muscle soreness where a foam roller isn't enough; I need to be crushed with an industrial sized rolling pin

Getting ready for a belated Valentine's dinner with my love 💖 (She's still learning how to take selfies like a girl but we're getting better 😂)

Got consensually and platonically bullied into taking a flexibility workshop led by a guest circus artist who's in town for a show and now my legs are jellified

When the mandatory annual training courses get a little too relatable

I know I don't have very many local followers, but: If you're in the Kansas City area and want something fun to do this weekend that will also support local artists, go see Circus Scorpius perform in "Umbrella Enchanted" at City Stage in Union Station!

Today's win: gf got her updated driver's license (with correct name and gender)! It was the final Big Thing she needed to do as far as like, government documentation goes, and we were in a race to see if her updated birth certificate (from IL) would arrive before the MO legislature did some fuckshit

The "that's why her hair is so big, it's full of secrets" for our time

I bought the roller skates

having a pet is so fucking stupid. you're just pre-purchasing yourself the worst pain you'll ever feel in your life and we just keep doing it, like idiots, because the only thing worse than losing them is never having them at all

Lost count of how many times I watched this video today, it's only been a day but I miss her so much

The house is too quiet without Arya ...which is weird bc it's not like she was the boisterous one

Actually I'm gonna be so honest Before we made the decision about Arya, I truly didn't care either way about the outcome, despite living here But after today, a part of me is glad that I don't have to hear people celebrating a silly football game while I am grieving so deeply Petty? Yes, but 🤷‍♀️

I mean I wasn't actively rooting for a particular outcome, I legitimately don't really care But a KC win would mean fireworks here in KC and I'd love to not have to deal with that shit on top of everything else today

This account is gonna be a lot of sad girl posting for a while sorry

Arya was my best friend and soul dog, and I will never be the same again for losing her 💔

[CW: pet death] Years ago (2017ish, I think?), over on twitter, @tassja.bsky.social wrote this silly little blurb about Arya as part of a writing exercise We're saying our final goodbyes to Arya later today and I can't stop reading this and sobbing

Spending your birthday with the knowledge you'll be saying goodbye to your soulmate dog the following day: -10000/10, do not recommend (We're doing the right thing, it's time, but it fucking sucks)

These are the ones I'm leaning toward at the moment bc they're decently priced and so cute and extremely me coded lol

Contemplating buying a pair of roller skates because tomorrow is my birthday and nothing matters and I've spent more money on dumber things in a futile attempt to feel joy

The mission fits in this episode oh my godddd #TheTraitorsUS
