Why is it so difficult to find a real #WFH job 🫠 I have hella #marketing skills, a good chunk of #payroll experience, tons of #sales and #customerservice experience, and am a really REALLY hard worker. Praying to the universe for something to align. 😭

Had a dream I was on the verge of yeeting myself because I’m too poor to be alive. Woke up and…well….here we are 😅🫠

I didn’t see #thelongwalk at the #driveins like I wanted to for my #birthday but we saw it at the theater and just….wow. I need to know what other people who read the story think 😭

I turn 30 next week and am saving up for a #loom!! If you wanna help a stranger out for their #birthday it’d be so appreciated. Happy to send stickers or pins to folks who help me get to my #goal! I’m almost halfway there!

That time of the month where I feel like crying over the fact that I feel like I’ll never be financially stable no matter how hard I work my ass off 🫠

The #americandream is dead.

No worries - thank you for letting me know 😊

Let me know if this is still available, and if it folds down at all (my car is small). If so, I’ll definitely make the drive!!!

The #community #weave I did a few months ago has been #donated to its final home at a local #mentalhealth organization. I’m so incredibly grateful to be a part of projects like this. 13 year old me would be so proud. 🥹

Paper on the wall reads “Community Weaves donated by Adirondack Folk School. These community weaves were not done by one hand alone - over 100 individuals contributed to the making of these pieces. Each thread is a different hand, a person, and a story.”

Idk why people are always shocked when I say I’m uninsured. Have you seen the cost of living lately??? 🥴

lesspolite.bsky.social @lesspolite.bsky.social · Aug 27

Help me save for a #rigidheddleloom for my 30th #birthday! I’m a third of the way there, I’ll send stickers to folks who help me get to the finish line! I’ll even make a #scarf or #tapestry for you when I get it if you can help 💕 I’m just so stoked to start my #weaving journey. Venmo: @lesspolite

Spent my Monday morning in the ER as my partner got stitched up. I’m ready for a very boring fall because this summer has been far too eventful 😅

If you create art, you are an artist. Period. End of sentence. This is beautiful!

Having ADHD is super fun because yes I’d love to do this one single task but of course the program isn’t working and yes I have other tasks to do but my brain wants to do THIS ONE.

People say I rely on humor as a defense mechanism too much but like it’s either that or spit poison at your eyes or something so you pick I don’t care

I just want to make art. I’m tired of thinking about paying bills all the fucking time.
