I wish I could have an open door policy at work but only for people who aren’t annoying.

And critical thinking isn’t looking too good either.

@Liliki she was wearing it in an interview last week as well. She said it was basically a precaution, although maybe that was downplaying the seriousness.

My nextdoor feed is hard evidence that adult literacy in my state is in dire straits and apparently has been for several decades.

@corlin this isn’t helpful in an election with such incredibly high stakes.

@Kaysymmetry you are enough and being yourself is enough. You can do this 🩷

@Make7upyours no, my climate is a bit warm for wool so there aren’t many yarn shops here. The closest ones to me are more than an hour away.

I had to go back to using gel-x nails because I’ve been destroying my cuticles. And I’ve done a pretty terrible job applying them but I don’t have time to redo because I’m leaving at like 5am to go to a conference 🫠

@Make7upyours probably not but it was a similar mask!

Went to my first metal show tonight. There was one poor guy who really wanted there to be a mosh pit so he started one by himself during the first set, but he accidentally kicked someone who was just minding their own business and gave up until the next band came out. Then a man in a rubber horse mask joined him.

About to go to a death metal show (my first one!) and I tried to dress for it but I think I ended up looking like I got lost on my way to a Nightwish show instead.

2/ but one again she didn’t bother to answer. I really thought we were good friends, and finding out I was just a friend of convenience to her and she doesn’t even miss me was pretty devastating. I’m not sure how to get over it. She was my only local friend, so it’s a big loss in that way as well.

I had a friend who moved away recently. She didn’t tell me she and her partner were thinking about moving or looking for jobs in another state, they just called one night and were like “surprise! We’re leaving in a month!” I was pretty upset that she hadn’t warned me, and that I had texted her several days before that and she never answered, but when she answered my text finally a few days after, I responded. She never answered. That was 3 months ago. So last week I decided to try one last time,

Trying to make friends on bumble bff because I’m an anxious weirdo, and to that end, I am getting out of my comfort zone to meet a potential friend at a death metal show in town this week. Making friends is scary 😬

Amazon's first set of book recommendations for me today is labeled "For You in Biographies of General Murder & Mayhem". It's all Ann Rule, but that's okay because I do love Ann Rule.

About to frog the front left yoke of my sweater a second time because I can’t knit while I watch tv apparently. I messed up the eyelets. I need lifelines on this one I think.
