Positives of the day: - Physiotherapy was nice. Painful but effective. - Evening walk was good. Spotted a new market, found some kombucha and pomegranate seeds. - Read an interesting POC document.

Layoffs to pad your bottom line and fund some half baked initiative/trend is not sustainable. Something has got to give. Culture is shot. Employee morale is down the drain. People are working in a state of fight or flight. It’s not sustainable. Something has to give.

Walked home today because I needed to walk out some of the anxiety of the day. Got some pomegranate seeds and kombucha. Should’ve bought myself flowers, but I don’t have a vase

Every time I’ve started the thought “I’m having a rough day” I stop myself from finishing the thought by reminding myself “you still have a job”.

What a whirlwind of a morning

I want to relax…I don’t know how

That was a 6 minute meeting to talk about layoffs that happened this week. Traumatized people for no good reason

Gosh I hate it here

Maybe this is only to let us know about the layoff that have happened this week.

Think positive…

And the worst part is…I think my morning is going exactly how it was the last time. The Deja vu and ptsd is crippling

“Brief sync” with a site lead. I’m trying to stop myself from spiraling, but all I can think is “it’s happening again” “we’re all about to be laid off”

The lady mentions she likes massages and one of the guys looks at her like she just said the filthiest thing ever and I feel like knocking both their heads

I’m listening to these two guys convince this lady not to book her mother a massage for valentines because “it’s awkward having another person touching your mother” and “you’re okay with someone rubbing your mother with oil” and I just want to ask them what kind of massages they get

My neighbors gave be a red dragon fruit in honor of Chinese lunar new year. I finally cut it open tonight, pretty color. Obsessed with the colors. The taste? Not my vibe

Castlevania is soooo stunning

Pantheon is a gem of a show

No water in my apartment. We’re good. And I made the 12 flights without getting winded

If I climb 12 flights of stairs to walk into an apartment that’s still flooded, I’m breaking my lease.

I want to hum so badly 🤣🤣🤣

She’s not wrong, I do have a good eye for nail color. I’ve never done a color that didn’t look good on me. I just really dislike sparkly toenails and if the name wasn’t so fitting to my personality, I would’ve asked her to take it off from the first application

Not the nail tech telling me I have a “good eye” for a color that is somewhat pretty but I hate it and picked it (without looking too hard at the color) because it was called “touch of evil”

Happy 3 months relocation-versary to meee

I hum when I’m working…even when I’m not listening to music. Which is interesting cos I’m usually humming playground rhymes… Anyway, I need to resume working from home.

I somehow managed to forget about JD Vance since November.

Today, I realized that I’ve been in near constant pain for 3 weeks and I’m truly over it.

I don’t know if I need a massage or a chiropractor 😩

Good luck everyone. Curate your online communities wisely. They don’t need to be balanced, an echo chamber is just fine. Disconnect when you need to. It’s a lot. Choose peace always.

A gentle reminder that your attention is a form of currency. Spend it wisely.

This week is off to a great start.

The quote below is from my book THE VIEW FROM FLYOVER COUNTRY:

Being a “conservative intellectual” must rule so much. There’s this giant mass of babies that are scared of cities, mad at cartoons, and intimidated by women, and your job is to convince them having those feelings makes them brave warriors for western civilization

Cord Jefferson, quitting Instagram, sums many things up: “I don’t need Instagram to be a haven for free speech for the same reason I don’t need a Jamba Juice or a Hooters to be a haven for free speech.”

Bezos spiked the Washington Post editorial endorsing Harris, saying that the paper needed to stay neutral to maintain the trust of its readership. Now the Washington Post editorial board is out with a piece urging Congress to rubber stamp nearly all of Trump's cabinet nominees

One of those days where the only thought my brain can fully process is “there are too many things that hurt right now”.

6:30am Jan 1st 2025; Dear diary, Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I set an alarm for 8am, hoping to surprise my parents by showing up in church. Then I saw that it’s presently 6am…who am I kidding?

I couldn’t be a celebrity 😩😩

Well…bluesky community, we made it to the end of 2024. Say a prayer, drink something bubbly, see you all in 2025

I fought for gratitude this year.

At multiple points this year I told the universe “whatever else you want to throw my way, don’t. I don’t need to see how strong I can get, I’m good.” I smashed my threshold for pain, sadness and change. Let’s not do that again. mmkay.

Why does LinkedIn have shorts?

Laundry done. Now we watch Arcane season 2 🎉🎉

Can I protest by not working for a couple of days?

I’m 2 months in a new country, 6 months in a new role and I haven’t seen a whiff of my contract or my work tools.
