Sad, but contemplating moving back home instead of Salem. Republicans have fucked us over by gutting all but one income based student loan payment plan and I can’t make my budget stretch for potential $700+ payments. 😪 Plus with the economic uncertainty I’d rather have a support system to fall on…

Sent a Reddit post to my friend as a joke saying “this you?” AND IT WAS. 💀

Just when I think this man couldn’t be any dumber.

Why don’t we call them the far white? I feel like that would make them big mad.

Shopping in-person at Aldi saves me about $50 a week…but that could be because it’s so chaoticly organized I forget half my items and since I don’t have cash for a cart I have to carry everything…

If I’m approved for remote work, I’m contemplating moving back to my hometown to save money because of… well, everything going on… and I spooked my location on dating apps and boy oh boy. That was depressing.

Had a wee mental panic yesterday but I think I’m okay…for now. 😃

If Trump and Musk really wanted people on their side they would do something about student loans instead of striking down the only plans that allow people to actually live. If they get rid of all income based plans…I don’t know what I would do..

Didn’t end up getting the VW. She was gorgeous and the prior owner clearly loved it (SO many accessories came with it) but it had a squeaky brake pedal that was driving me crazy — if that (known) issue exists I didn’t want to take the chance on any others

At the carvana and someone is here to pick up a Tesla. That’s a *choice*.

Going with a 2024 VW ID.4 from Carvana. It’s under manufacturer warranty for another 2-3 years, got a low monthly, and I got 3k more for my trade + saved on taxes. Picking it up Saturday morning!

If this admin gets rid of the SAVE—idk how people with Student Loans will live. SAVE is great & I can make the payments! But they’re planning on coming for PAYE next. With the cost of living (read:rent) the next “cheapest” program (income based) is nearly $700/mo. I need to move overseas I guess.

Halfway there…department leadership has no problem with me returning remote/to the east coast. Meeting Thursday morning between my supervisors and HR for the final call.🤞

Nothing is more unattractive than people who dunk on their former fat selves and/or complain about how fat they perceive themselves to be. People say confidence is sexy for a reason.

If I sign off an email with “Joshua” or add my signature to a response it’s because I hate you.

Wow. Actually applied to a job (at a large company) that said “We’re streamlining our hiring process and cover letters are unnecessary, as your resume gives us the best view of your experience”—love! Such a quick process.

got this little hat embroidered with the Aphrodite’s Apothecary logo 😇

Remember when the MAGATS were convinced that Biden wasn’t running the country? What about now…when it’s blatantly obvious Trump isn’t? Hmm.

Drove an hour in a snowstorm for this facebook marketplace delivery and the guy was like “oh actually this isnt what i thought they were” girl. You can just look at the picture and get a quick google…

I love the Spanish language because when you have 6 different dialectic backgrounds in a room you can spend an hour arguing over the best universal words for hair rollers or a blow dryer.

I’m surprised my insight and (small level) of knowledge has been useful as a no sabo kid in this Spanish translation at work. Turns out real gringos are clueless! 😌

Omgggg Illinois please just send my title already. I see you allegedly “mailed” it on Monday. 🙄

Had the imponderable joy of catching the greenday frontman wannabe JD Vance’s speech this morning and what a horribly rotten way to start my morning.

Should find out about my remote status request tomorrow…I’m nervous! Also while moving to Salem/North shore is the goal…part of me is so scared about everything happening that I’m wondering if moving back to Buffalo isn’t a bad idea just for savings…

Anti-crate dog people are insufferable. My dog goes in there on her own accord to feel secure when she’s overstimulated or scared. It’s the only thing that helps her separation anxiety when I leave the house. She goes in there by herself & lays down quietly vs screaming and howling when I leave.

Facebook marketplace straight men are wild. You want me to meet you tomorrow? In the middle of a snowstorm??

Standard model tesla drivers get a pass. You probably didn’t know before you bought. Cyber truck drivers? Nah. 24k gold cyber truck divers? Helllllll nah.

All this talk of annexing Canada but what if the northern states (and the west coast) joined Canada? I think that’s an ideal solution. 🙂‍↕️

is this anything?

Trying to plan a potential half-cross-country move as a single person with two pets is…complicated and expensive. 😩

why does he look like this though

using Instacart for the first time since the pandemic…now I know why…
