I had my first exhibition! It was so nice but I was also very anxious all the time. I'm really happy about how it worked!

I went to a coworker's dinner party and I forgot my phone there and their doorbell doesn't work.

My only option was to spook them and yell at them through the wall at midnight.

I'm really sorry, but I cannot hide my spooky personality.

@thedisasterautist yeah! Some people still do. Some of my Mexican countrypeople do that with hot sauce. Still find it weird, tho.

@thedisasterautist she loves it and she smiles, while servers look at her in disbelief.

She always travels with extra packages of ketchup, just in case.

My sister and I are in Paris and she keeps ordering ketchup with her pizza.

When she does, people immediately ask about where we are from.

I'm embarrassed.

Profiting from my culture and also from the feminist movement by selling a 90€ bag.

A double sucker punch.

Here comes something bittersweet.

Lately, with my really good relationship, I've been having actual dreams of meeting with and talking to my first love. We were together for five years, during university.

I still care deeply for him and I'm still amazed about how compatible we are, but I would never try to go back with him, even if I had the opportunity. Too many burned bridges.

I just wish him a lot of happiness with his new wife. He deserves it.

They: "oh, I wrote a text back but forgot to send it. Funny, right? Has it happen to you?"

Me: "Yeah, all the time, don't worry!"

Me inside: Lol That would NEVER happen because I am an extremely anxious person who checks all of their texts because I'm terrified of making someone else feel even remotely bad or ignored.

I feel comfortable changing my clothes in front of my partner,
I feel comfortable changing my clothes in front of my daughter,

But for some reason it feels inappropriate if I change in front of both of them?

My mother is low-key super sexist.

My daughter, my sister and I are going on a small trip and my mother is saying that we should be careful because we're traveling alone.

This is after she learned that my partner is not going.

@amarand not only think of gifts around someone's birthday, but all year round. Sometimes people give hints of what they want/need but we don't register it because it's not close to their birthdays. I just make mental note of stuff.

At the office I'm getting the reputation for being thoughtful and knowing about perfect presents for our colleagues.

I'm quite proud of it.

I finally thought about the Barbie movie enough to pinpoint my issue with it.

It's an intro to feminism that simplifies gender relations, but it simplifies them so much that ends up being white superficial feminism.

Although I HATE golf courses, I don't mind them so much in the Netherlands.

Like, fill up a bit of the sea, play there and try not to drown.

You train to have a bikini body,
I train to get a slutty halloween costume body.

We're not the same.

Like, it is fun and I laughed a lot and had a really good time.

But that's it, it's not a treaty on feminism and people are talking about it like it as if fighting the patriarchy was a new thing. 🤷

The movie is just a movie about a doll.
It lacks theory and a lot of depth, but again, it's just a movie about a doll.

If you're finding it too political, take it as an invitation to read more about feminism and gender.

The movie is really not that deep.

I love that the literal translation to Spanish of "congratulations" it's a over - pluralization of happiness.

So when a Spanish speaker congratulates someone, they are wishing "happinesses".

So lots of happiness!
