the older I get and the hotter the days become, the more I understand why there are so many paintings of reclining nude people

My neighbor's new puppy figured out how to climb the wire fence between our yards so that she can come play. Layla is So cute and so sweet. She is so happy to be here that I can't even be upset at how often she submissive pees on my floor. Who could be upset with that crazy happy face??

Oh you’re not comfortable sharing a public restroom with trans people? Well I’m just not comfortable sharing a public restroom with bigoted creeps who are constantly thinking about other people’s genitals, including children’s.

Obviously the internet is spying on us all the time but sometimes they are terrible spies. I'm currently getting a lot of ads geared towards homeowners. I'm definitely not that. 😭🤦‍♀️

Had close friend drama in 2021 that put me in an unsafe place. Another friend was gaslighting me about what was happening but I hadn't accepted that yet. One day I told her I was suicidal and she changed the subject. I stopped seeing her as a friend that day.

My kid is 18 and graduating this week. They're spreading their wings a bit so was out late and didn't come home. Thankfully we share location so I know they must've accidentally fallen asleep at their friend's place. Even knowing they're safe it's hard to sleep w/o that check in. 😭

Celebrate Mother’s Day by letting people choose whether or not to be mothers.

I never feel like I have enough time in the studio. Sometimes it makes me want to set up a home studio so I can get more time in at the wheel. But that also feels like a lot of work.

Feeling pretty good about throwing my first big bowls. I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out after trimming and glazing. I had a little help getting the first one centered but this one was all me, good or bad. 🤣 #pottery

We had an argument--let's say a "heated discussion"--about AI in my most recent writer's group meeting. Some of our members have fully embraced AI for content generation. My philosophy is simple: If AI has touched your creation, then it is no longer your creation, and I have zero interest in it.

I lost my job Feb 15th 2024. I just started a new job Mar 3rd, 2025. I don't think I've been unemployed that long since I had my 18yr old. I've heard so many good things about the company and my first impressions have been promising. I'm not even upset to spend my birthday at work on Monday.

reminder: set your clock forward one hour tonight before going to bed unless you were born before 1985 in which case it does not matter because you are near the end anyhow

Just got this mug out of the kiln yesterday and it makes me think of melted marshmallows over chocolate. Just look at that Drip. 🤩 Pottery has been so good for me and I'm feeling pretty proud of this piece.

Embrace the places where you get to be imperfect and still appreciated.

I just got served. 😠 I was in a Very minor accident in Oct while driving Uber. Guy side swiped my bumper, passenger didn't even know it happened until I Said something. 4.5 months later passenger is suing both drivers for injuries. Girl what injuries?? What are you thinking?? I'm too tired for this.

On Monday I start a new job. I haven't worked since February last year. I was excited about the offer, I've done pre-employment tasks including some that were in person, but it didn't really feel Real until Right Now. Like I have one more weekend and then I have Work on Monday?! What??

As others have said, the greatest transfer of wealth in US history will not be from the Boomers to their children but from them to the US healthcare system. The US is designed to make people insolvent and to keep them poor once they're there.

I sneezed and my cat mrr'd back from somewhere else in the house. Anytime they sneeze I say something so when I sneeze they say something too. Cats are the best. Obi is my black fluffy angel baby and Hiccup is my child's agent of chaos.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

Boy, things that were "never going to happen" sure do keep happening a lot.

I need help. I've been unemployed for a year. Unemployment ran out in Sept. I have an offer but don't start until March. I've been driving rideshare to pay the bills but January has been hard. I already didn't know if I could make rent and now I need brakes. Rent:2230 brakes:613. In my account:112.

So many have not learned them at all.

if you advertise your book using an AI generated image i will automatically assume that the book and every positive review/comment about it is also AI generated and avoid it forever. www.tumblr.com/gr8writingti...

I'm so grateful my cat is a lover who doesn't hold grudges long. I was out of town for a week and got back today. He has been So loving and cuddly and it's everything I needed.

I might have a job?! I got a call with an offer but I'm negotiating pay a little bit so hopefully it turns into a real job. It's been almost a year and I'm as ready as I'll ever be to get back to work.
