I’m so glad this happened AFTER my work end of year “share your biggest accomplishments” thing. HR would have been…confused

The gazoonga incident has received a full exploration at this slideshow by @tori.dftba.social. It is a major work of art.

It’s so inconvenient. I genuinely might just drive down tonight. Parking is a pain but saves an hour each way

The first event was announced a few weeks before the second event and I bought a ticket, and then the actual concert was announced and here we are.

Past Tori bought tickets to two events in Brooklyn this week and truly nobody except Maisie Peters could get me to do this.

TINY. 3D. COOKIES.

It’s kind of like when I watched Supernatural for the first time and found out Destiel was neither canon nor the plot of the entire show

Very surprised by the Dan & Phil video as someone who hasn’t watched much of their content and thought they were publicly in a relationship the whole time 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nail girl NEVER misses

A set of Halloween nails. The pinkies are stylized candy corn, the ring mad pointer fingers have little icons of a ghost, a bat, a tiny pumpkin and candy and the middle finger has 3D replicas of pillsbury Halloween cookies. The thumbs are in the next picture

Halloween thumb nails. One is a ghost peeking out dressed as a little devil and one is a ghost peeking out in a purple witches hat

Never mind “never ask a woman about her age” - never ask a knitter about their WIPs 🧶

Unrelated, but can whoever is in charge of fashion make one-sleeved sweaters trendy?

I finished the knitting on a sweater this morning, which means I just have….three sweaters on sleeve island. One of them just needs a cuff though so it’s really two sweaters on sleeve island.

Truly a Pizzamas to remember 💕🍕

Naomi Novik never misses (but she especially never misses with her fairy tales. The Summer War is spectacular)

Nope. All the others were metal too, I just think this agent would’ve allowed bamboo or plastic, she was just real bothered by the metal because they looked sharp

She didn’t lay eyes directly on the others because they were in my backpack so they went un noticed

He does know, because after the third time they gave him the can. At first I was annoyed on behalf of the flight attendants and now I’m also slightly concerned for his health

Tori ✨ @tori.dftba.social · 3d

I truly cannot imagine pressing the airplane call bell but the guy in the row in front of me has done so four separate times. Surely he’s had enough Diet Coke now.

16” circulars. Metal though, I think that was the main problem.

It was the only set of 7s I had on me though. So I guess I’m starting my backup project

Tori ✨ @tori.dftba.social · 4d

I haven’t ever had an issue before! I think because she opened my purse to look at tiny scissors and actually saw them (and that was also why the ones in my backpack were fine). I always prepare for the worst and had stitch holder cord to transfer the stitches to

Mexico airport security confiscated my knitting needles (but only the ones in my project, not the 10 other sets shoved in various parts of my bag)

Words that sound like what they mean are the best

The only other woman on the work trip is pregnant so I guess I’m flying solo for this “buy tampons in a foreign country at 7am” adventure

He was working or trying to sleep for most of the flight. We left at like 7am which means everyone was up crazy early to get to the airport. So basically it would have been kind of rude in context.

It’s one thing for me to be slightly uncomfortable asking, it’s another to put someone else out

Business trips bring out the weirdest coworker lore.

My teammate’s mom is a TB survivor and our boss saw Taylor Swift play in Nashville when she was 13.

If you’re a Nerdfighter and you were on the 8am flight from Newark to CDMX this morning….hi

Tori ✨ @tori.dftba.social · 8d

The guy next to me on this flight is watching a @hankgreen.bsky.social video but it’s an early morning flight out of New York so it would be so rude to ask if he’s One Of Us

I need a bagel, a Celsius and a working outlet and all Newark gave me is my boss

I know the government has my face and it’s pointless to opt out of the facial recognition, it’s more of a principle thing.
