A glimpse into perimenopause brain: Me to me: What is the name of that Chris Collins perfume you liked? It's a phrase...Lost in Love? Love after lockup? No that's a show... The answer is Long Kiss Goodnight 🄲 Let me take this magnesium and take my geriatric millennial ass to bed.

Log into social media after a long day, and see a white girl wasted brawl (Teal Dress has done this before) and some rude customer getting smacked in the face with a NY slice of pizza. Now THIS is the content that made the internet great. WE BACK UP BABY šŸ™ŒšŸ¾

Random: a college I worked at hired a new AD. NCAA equity compliance was in my portfolio. 1st meeting, to show he was an "ally" and "respects lawyers", AD randomly says he sat next to Thomas at a Big 10 football game, box seats. Knew in that moment he knew no Black ppl that weren't student athletes

Me, at noon: You know what, therapist was right. I won't do emotional spending today. College friend: Hey, did you know they are closing the cultural centers that defined and supported our college journeys, bc of a new anti-dei state law Me, at 9pm, with the cursor over "purchase now":

Woke up, saw today’s SCOTUS rulings, and decided to do the most. Quad shot latte and no food (girl breakfast), #SOTD is Under My Skin and probably buying a perfume on my wish list, seafood boil and oysters w/my friend later, beat face despite this being my wfh day, music on 10.

1. Jasmine, patchouli, oud and animalic notes 2. Super woody and sweet, especially bubblegum tuberose and honey notes, and cedar typically sends me running away 3. Probably Amouage Jubilation 25 and French Avenue Miraj Exclusif (Bewitching Yasmine clone). Two sprays is maybe too much.

Projecting? Can’t tell the age of the OP but I’ve never heard this take from anyone younger than a baby boomer. Not uncommon for teenagers to be managers in food service, their first leadership opportunity. Shit, I was a shift manager at LJS at 18. Manager of university compliance department at 31.

Fans of professional Ohio sports teams are god’s strongest soldiers. It’s Ohio Against the World…because we ain’t winners but we have heart.

DC is LinkedIn. New York is TikTok. Minneapolis or Portland is Bluesky.

Great way to start my Monday

ā€˜Tis the season

Did some self-care sniffing. While I don't want a full bottle of these, I enjoy smelling like all 3 on a cool, dreary day. Patchouly: chocolate and mint, wrapped in amber Fiore d'Ambra: spicy amber w/baby powder Ambra Aurea: making smores by a bonfire #perfumesky #fragrancesky

Can’t believe y’all be out here skipping prologues, epilogues and sneak peaks in books. That’s like $2.75 worth of book you wasting

Watching MASH and filling carts with perfumes* from my wish list. Is this self-care? *it's only 3 If they are still available tomorrow...

#SOTD was Burberry Goddess Intense because 1) it was 50-60s in the PNW and rainy and 2) I wanted something comforting, specifically lavender, since I only got 4hrs of sleep. Similar weather (and existential dread) tomorrow so I am thinking Francesca Bianchi- Under My Skin.

Sundays I meal prep and job search. It's wild that I will wake up tomorrow and still do both of those like nothing is happening.

Watching Hey Beautiful: Anatomy of a Romance Scam on Hulu. Ain’t no way I’m selling my parents house to give money (in bitcoin at that) to a man I’ve never met but swears he loves me. I will never be that lonely. Also, my parents would call me a fool from the afterlife.

Lost count of how many romance scam shows/docs I’ve watched. All of them give me so much cringe. What you mean you love me, I just met you on Words with Friends?!?!

50s and raining…time to ignore my to-do list, watch creepy YouTube videos, wrap myself up like a mummy on the couch, and nap.

The absolute worst individuals I’ve ever encountered…were in law school. Some were just plain evil, and I knew they intended to do harm with their degrees. Yep, all prosecutors now.

Craving biscuits & gravy, and feel the need to state: Portland > Seattle when it comes to food Seattle never does the entire dish right. Biscuit good but gravy trash. Seafood good but sides nasty. Latte good but pastry dry. Fried okra good but chicken a mess. Over it…let this be my last year

I’ve been awake since 430a. I don’t want to be conscious at 430a, especially the weekend, unless shenanigans or a flight are involved.

Recent: wore a sample of Amouage- Ashore twice, multiple compliments both days. I already loved it but it’s officially on my to-buy list. Nishane- Vain and Naive. Warm mornings, walking to or waiting on my bus, I always get stopped. Olympic Orchids- African Orchid gets at least 1 sniff per wear

If anyone is looking for summer scented lotion, Silk + Noir dropped some new scents today. Already ordered mines so I don't get my feelings hurt like I did on the last release. #blackowned #fragrancesky

On June 19, 1865, Galveston's enslaved gathered around to hear Union Gen. Gordon Granger read his General Order No. 3, informing the last enslaved people in America they were free. Too bad none of that actually happened.

This Woodstock 99 docuseries is wild. Starting with the fact that the organizers didn’t know anything about the new generations and their music (and refused to listen to advice). Mix white frat boys with hard rock, drugs/alcohol and capitalism. Chaos was the only possible outcome.

If you're interested in seeing what the conversation on X looked like on Saturday morning, as the information warriors there went to work framing the shootings of Democratic lawmakers for political gain, I made an interactive graph: faculty.washington.edu/kstarbi/Spot...
