I'm new here because my favourite app is leaving so I'll be posting random things. Nonsense. Just what my brain conjures. Also chronic fatigue so I'll forever complain about being tired.

I made a video about this VERY THING!!! These "geek" men hate geek women and there's no benefit for them to show that side of them to those same men.

I wanted to have a mango for dessert but our dog seems to think mangoes are for sharing & she would've bullied me relentlessly. Did not feel like being bullied.
Her bullying hurts.
She's lucky she's cute.

I started a rewatch of Haven & I'd completely forgotten about the character of the Reverend.
It's coming back to me now though but oh my gosh, my brain loses so many details of content I enjoy.

I just found out that Kasi left The Shindellas. She posted before the New Year but Instagram hasn't been showing me the people I follow clearly because I just found out.
I love The Shindellas... Are they going to find a third member to replace her? When? If so, how long before they start recording?

Finished "We Came to Welcome You" by @v-e-tirado.com
My thoughts are that Alice can go to hell.
I'm blaming her for all of it.

Great book & Alice really pissed me off.
That's how I know I was invested in the story, a character really pissed me off.

I would like to punch Alice because reasons... I don't understand why you'd marry a stud then not be empathetic to the fact that the world tends to but be kind to studs.

Night owl but because capitalism is a thing, I'm forced to go to bed & wake early. I'm barely functional until I've been awake for at least 3 hours. And even then, I'm only at about 60% without burnout. Not good.
1. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

I'm back on tidal because I finally have a phone that can support it. My old phone was old (2017) & so it hadn't had any updates in years & the software just stopped being compatible or something because the app was glitchy. It's working on this one now though. Yay me.

My sister after us taking a selfie:
"Aww, we look like sisters"
We're related. Same parents

Girl, we have the same forehead courtesy of our mom.

I love the movie "13 Going on 30" but who were the parents that let their 13 year olds have a sleepover with a grown woman? And a grown woman who, until recently, had ignored said children?
It worked out but it's concerning.

When you’re chronically ill, you start hoping something abnormal shows up on the tests just so a doctor will finally help you.

My boss is back today. Why does that fill my body with so much dread? Sleep was a struggle last night because of it.
Oh well.

i need ppl to understand that if a person is using seemingly noble buzzwords (fighting antisemitism?) without an actionable plan (how is a cryptocoin doing that, pray tell), it is guaranteed to be a fucking grift.
Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.

Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

I called my big brother this morning.
Mostly to test my phone because I thought it was glitching with calls (it was my mom's phone), but also because I missed him. Anyway, he told me to tell my mom to logout of his Takealot account. He says there's always her stuff in his cart 😭😭😭 how? And why?

Me with Margaret Atwood. I tried so hard to get into Oryx & Crake. Not for me. I'm good.
I DNF 7 books so far this month… I don’t believe in forcing yourself to read something you don’t like.. close the book and get a different one

This is me even with tv shows too.
And me with Jurassic Park. Finished book 1. The story felt complete to me. I don't need a sequel.
Don’t force yourself to finish a series.. I just finished book 1 in a series.. I have no desire to read book 2…

Saturday was fun. I went to the birthday party of one of the members of my drag king group. It was nice to see some of the Kings again.
I'm mad I have to be back at work today. Ugh, reality is not fun.
