Just breathing my way through an anxiety attack over here. On Fridays you’ll find me softly crying in my local library. Let’s trade book recommendations.

My god, this hit so close to home that I may have cried a little.

Let’s not forget “we don’t have enough budget to cover your rate, but yes, we just paid for the exec team to go to a fun offsite in Miami.”

Good morning!

Why yes, I am the freelancer.

Did I complete my security awareness training module?

No, I ignored that email since I’m not a full-time employee.

Oh, I see.

Contractors are now required to complete those as well now.

Thanks for reaching out. Yes, I’m interested in your one-week project, which you’ve described as a “sprint”—a fun euphemism for seven days of sheer...

Pro tip: avoid all the things that can cause an anxiety spiral first thing in the morning. Hard to recover from it.

Can confirm. It’s really hard to keep working when you are having an anxiety attack

Job security… what does that feel like?

Really love waking up and immediately panicking about money, jobs, affording things that bring me joy…

Every time I see a dumpster in an alley, I think of early VPR.

Over here, I am trying to figure out if I should spend $50 on new pants while others are committing fraud to stay on tv! Priiiiorities!

I hate this headline so much! It devalues the nature of their relationship as if it’s a fling instead of a committed partnership.

And so much of this focuses on her age which of course equals inexperience which is a totally new narrative for this paper, right?

The early seasons of Vanderpump rules exert a powerful gravitational force on me.

Bears look so cute and cuddly. Only if they weren’t deadly.

Unfortunately reading is the only way to get out of a reading slump.

this is also the only way to recover from most other slumps (just read more and ignore the slumps)

Definitely watch it. I was dreading an almost 3 hour movie but it was immersive and went by in a flash. I am no Dicaprio fan but well worth it for all the other actors and well, Benicio Del Toro.

Reading “Blue Ruin” by @harikunzru.bsky.social. Everything he writes gives me such massive anxiety but it’s compelling, character-driven, and so reflective of how the world we live in so messed up.

The beautiful prose alone is well worth the anxiety 😂

I am doing my own research: AKA reading experts’ painstakingly produced, peer-reviewed studies and then acting on those recommendations.

Just watched “One Battle after Another” and Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor are luminous.

Sudden urge to become a part time bookseller but I am deeply unqualified other than the fact that I read a lot.
