"Why do you write like you're running out of time?" Wish I had that problem. I have literally been working on this novel for 2 years and only have 3 chapters.

Know it's getting bad again because I can't bring myself to read or write anything #depression

It all feels like too much lately #depression

Children are so fickle. One minute, the kids down the street say they don't want to be friends with my son, and the next, they're over here begging him to play. #kids

Really getting sick of retail work

Last night working 3rd shift. Finished early. Left early. Feeling good :)

It makes me irrationally upset that writing by hand helps me express my feelings better, and my words flow easier, but my carpal tunnel makes writing by hand so painful. #writing #carpaltunnel

Antidepressant withdrawal symptoms at work... woo... yes, I was weened off, but this is something I've been on since my son was born, so some withdrawal is to be expected. Still sucks ass. #Antidepressants #withdrawal #brainfog #dizziness

Don't think I've ever hated a job this much. At least not this soon after starting. #3rdshift #job #fml

Jo Cronk @jecronk.bsky.social · May 15

Can't stop crying about literally everything. I hate it. #depression #mentalhealth

Jo Cronk @jecronk.bsky.social · May 12

Hate my job. Wish I could quit. Legit don't even know how I'm going to sustain working 3rds once the kids aren't in school. I don't think things through. #fml #effthisjob #3rdshift

JK, are you listening? Oh, that’s right, you never do any more.

Trans pride flag flying on a pole with a quote overlay advocating for inclusive feminism, stating exclusion of trans people aligns with patriarchy, attributed to @elcronk and shared by The Left Bible.

Ever craving something to eat, but halfway through eating it, the texture/mouth feel becomes unbearable, and you have to stop, or you'll throw up? #isthisnormal #adhd #food #craving #issomethingwrongwithme

6yo just got his first nose bleed. From picking his nose. Swears he'll never pick his nose again. We'll see how long that lasts 🤣 #kids #nosebleed #silly

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books

My ADHD gets so bad on my period that I left my phone at a restaurant we had lunch at and didn't realize it was missing for 3 hours. When I finally realized I didn't have it, I couldn't even remember the last place I had had it. #periods #adhd #forgetfulness #shorttermmemory #lostphone

Was not in tears when I left work today. That's a first for the week. #ihatemyjob #worksucks #3rdshift #fml

There are far more women receiving tanf and snap benefits than there are men. Of those, a large percentage is single mothers with children. Food insecurity is a feminist issue. #tnaf #snap #feminist #foodinsecurity

We all know that women average 82 cents for every dollar a man makes, but black women only make 67 cents, black men make 75 cents, and Hispanic women are only at 58 cents for every dollar a white man make. Racial pay disparities are a feminist issue. #wagegap #feminism #racialpaydisparity

Many states still allow the purchase of firearms after domestic violence charges. 1 in 3 women who are murdered are murdered by intimate partners. Gun control is a feminist issue. #guncontrol #feminist #1in3
