it’s so upsetting we will keep it always
we were gonna go out with friends tonight but our sitter caught The Thing That’s Going Around so we’ll have to reschedule. it’s fine tbh
I’m very peopled out after this week even if it means spending more time in the piss trenches
also we bought a new couch for the living room today. more people will be able to sit here! imagine
this portrait is astonishing
if i saw that in a museum i wouldn't be confused about its presence at all
i mean, depending on the museum
this made me laugh so hard
new couch looks like this but with the parts flipped. The chaise is for Pippin to sit by the window
omg. couch just for pippin.
I told him about it but I don’t think he cared
he said "yeah, obviously"
it's going to be great in there
three day weekends are an exercise in sheer determination
two days? fine. all good. we'll find stuff to do, we'll figure out how to relax
day three: forcing my shambling corpse to continue functioning while a small creature runs literal circles around me and fights every single thing I request of him
I have aged five hundred years over the last two weeks
you know it's good when I'm sitting at my computer for the first time in over a week and I'm like 'I should delete old emails' and my first thought is 'no I'm too tired'
just let everything sit. let's all sit. sit time.
i want to play vibeo james
holy fuck just realized the Gideon & Harrow the 9th covers were illustrated by my friend
oooh your friend!! that’s cool!
Tommy Arnold! We sat across the table from each other when I worked on Archer
he was one of the asset illustrators
YOU’RE FRIENDS W TOMMY ARNOLD??? he’s like a god in TLT circles rofl
i bought his limited edition abhorsen triptych prints too
hahaha yeah!! That’s hilarious
Like we don’t currently hang but we were coworker buds, I used to cat sit for him
We’ve lost touch but I’m thrilled he’s a celebrity of sorts now
going from a three day weekend into more work with a big work meeting that's technically my area of expertise but I am so tired. I am drowning
my brain is propped up on toothpicks and scotch tape
there is no such thing as a day off
I learned last week also that I make 10k less than a coworker on the same level as me who started two years later. gonna have some Conversations about that
but my manager's out this week so I gotta wait. I can already imagine his relief when I bring it up bc now I think I understand why he's always like 'are you sure there's nothing else you wanna talk about' during our 1:1s
he's a good dude and he fights like hell for us. this is just a thing I didn't know about my own pay, which. is my fault but also. TIRED
im glad you know now but it sucks that its something you have to advocate for like that
like oh I didn't realize it's my fault if I don't catch the corpo out on fucking me at every turn
godddd the worst but i hope you are promptly $10k per year richer
Seriously!!!!! My longest deepest sigh
Glad it sounds like your boss is probably just waiting to be asked the wuestion but also UGH
yeah that is a shitty gap to just Exist, Mysteriously, until you discover it yourself, wtf
whooof may they give you that several months of daycare money with SPEED
my money’s on zombies caused by antivaxxer dog owners
this is right up there with making your cat eat vegan except with way more potential splash damage

me, working hard on trying to trust people’s pet dogs and not let the ocd tell me every dog has rabies
Guess evil clippy gets this round
dog......autism.........
evil Clippy makes the occasional point even if we hate him for it
yeah Jenni what if dogs start becoming nonverbal and sound sensitive
well emailed my mom about the vaccine mandate in Florida, which is, no question, going to kill children
I was like please bother your reps about this bc now I don't want to bring my son to visit you there until he has all his shots
fuck these disgusting people
I remember wondering how in the Middle Ages we all thought the earth was flat when it had been proved round by so many people previously but now I know, people are just stupid
they’re determined to be wrong
and considering there are still people who think the earth is flat. despite the existence of space travel
antivaxxers at least have natural selection on our side but its going to manifest via their children and that’s not fucking fair
it makes me insane. our prime directive as parents is to do everything we can to keep our kids alive and healthy
can't believe how big he is already
crylaugh work was like EVERYONE HAS TO TAKE MANDATORY CODE OF CONDUCT TRAINING and sent us signups that are busted to absolute shit
I have a 3am training currently scheduled because it was in Turkey's timezone
I'm not doing that brother
this accurately summarizes how I feel this morning
enjoy your trip to Istanbul
wasn't that once constantinople
also absolutely amazing work from your hr or training people
yes we're big fans of them right now
almost forgot to share this pic my trainer took of my arms which apparently both hyperextend when locked
It has never really bothered me so I was surprised but I’m glad I can use it to body horror at people. And also I have to do not do that I guess
Lol mine do this too highfive hyperextension!!! (its bad dont do it)
high-fives you and cries as both our arms snap
it's giving hands for feet
this is what goblin mode truly is
i think mine might do that too because i looked at and thought it looked normal
struggling!! I think the seasonal effective disorder aka fall damage has begun even if it still feels like summer. days get shorter fast round these parts
I've just been kind of depresso and not feeling like doing anything, which is not unusual, especially for this time of year, but it is annoying
I want to be a powerhouse of creativity firing on all cylinders at all times, is that so much to ask
no as I understand it that’s a perfectly normal expectation
you just have to be willing to do hard drugs
considering even strong weed invariably gives me an extended anxiety attack I'm not sure that's a good idea
also maybe struggling on account of a lot of taxing stuff has been happening without much reprieve
if you get handfuls of pebbles thrown at you constantly you won't die but you won't be having a good time either
oh weed does the same thing to me; i think it;s an ocd thing
tk get out of here with your logical explanations
planning our big trip to visit my sister in Madison for Thanksgiving and my cousin tipped me off that an aunt and uncle I used to be very close to have gone full maga. we’re planning to stay with them the first night
I always knew they were like. righties. we got along anyway. Idk if I can do this though, there’s a difference between the modern day and idk being grumpy John McCain didn’t win
my uncle was a huge mentor for me in a shitty time and I would prefer not to cut him off but people make decisions like this for you nowadays don’t they
horrible to need to worry about, i'm sorry
yeah. I’m like do we even bother. do we try it and then just bail if it goes south, is it worth the effort after a long flight with a toddler
I was already kinda low today and this + smoke has sapped all my will to be a human
smoke as in wildfire smoke on the humid air which means we can close the windows to keep it out and sweat, or open them for airflow and cough
would someone else like to freaky friday into my body and perceive/deal with everything for me for like 24 hours
you can play with my adorable son
Can confirm another data point for the weed thing and ocd
this also checks out w a friend of mine yall don't know
