there’s a man on hulen with an “america elected a fascist” sign (cc @bwd.bsky.social)

managed to hit the top of my head on my fridge when trying to pick things up that launched themselves out of my fridge when I was already running late this morning so that’s a great omen for how the day is going to go

right now I alternate between full glitter eyeshadow (because I need to make my own joy) and just a line of black eyeliner (because they get what they get) and today is a black eyeliner day

this is probably my most stressful week at work in a long while so i should probably get off the horrors device and let my brain rest so i don't absolutely go bonkers

today would be a great day for some mysterious benefactor to send me some tiff’s treats

Rocky Mountain National Park was closed for the 2018 government shutdown so this is on NP land but not beyond any gates.

local photographer uses One Weird Trick to lower her anxiety! (weird trick is shooting nearly 4000 photos at the marathon, and then taking a break halfway through sorting them to go do 5k on the trails, and then coming back to them)

going to cook dinner and then going to write a newsletter because I’ve let the darkness get me down too long today

had a customer the other day tell me she used ChatGPT for advice on shoe styles to look for and I couldn’t help myself, I said (in as jokey a manner as possible) “well are you sure it didn’t make some of those up?”

And now it’s snowing?

15 feels like -3

the canada stuff is to keep him distracted while the people who used him to worm their way into power kill us all that's all. that's it.

wandered around some public works of art today

i love how i log onto bluesky like once a day and immediately feel like i'm about to throw up at the state of the world (also, scheduling an mmr vaccine based on the fact that i don't think i've had a booster since before college which was at this point 15? years ago so)

Only redeeming feature of driving to Southlake is the DFW arrivals pattern over 121. Okay, also it’s where my closest LUSH store is so I will be treating myself to the sense memory of Italy via conditioner.

my coworker suggested a rage room and honestly she’s so right

i read this book in high school and had nightmares afterward and also i will read every part of his 8 rebuttals of this youtube weirdo because mmmmm tasty

libraries are so good, y’all
