When I can’t figure out whether the reaction I’m having is due to burnout or being a sensitive bitch

Figuring out how to tell someone your feelings were hurt and you felt ignored and disregarded when you realize it was a miscommunication and probably not that serious but if you don’t say something it’s going to keep bothering you but it’s probably not worth making a big deal over

I could do so much that I find actually fulfilling if I didn’t have to work.

I’m making moves towards work that I find fulfilling, have been since 2021, but it still feels years away from reality. Just feeling that stretch of time this morning.

Excuse me, I was promised a thunderstorm?? Today’s rain has been weak sauce

This in particular was my favorite inclusion. The catchy song written by an Italian that’s meant to sound like English but is really just nonsense.
Possibly meant to signal that what we’re seeing from a certain Italian is stylish and compelling, but ultimately meaningless.

Adults when I was a kid: In other countries, former leaders get sent to prison because they’re so corrupt! Can you believe how uncivilized!? How lucky are we to live here in America!

Me, now an adult: Politics is a corrupt game more often than not, especially at higher levels — sounds like those other countries are willing to acknowledge that.

I’d never tell people not to have *some* caution when in public, but this society has an epidemic of fear of Other People based solely on appearance. That state of mind is patently ridiculous once you get to know folks who aren’t plagued with it.

Why would I assume that a man, or any person, is dangerous simply because they are large and have facial hair? Most of the large bearded men I know are among the sweetest people I’ve ever met. The assumption of danger from them is based on nothing more than the difference in size (and, for some reason, follicle activity).

Of course the arguments against letting trans people decide which bathroom to use is always ridiculous and terrible, but the one I’m stuck on today goes something like this:

“Would you really feel safe with your daughter using the bathroom next to a six-foot, burly man with a beard??”

Assuming we removed the idea of gender policing from bathrooms, why would I *not* feel safe with that?

In one hour I have to give medicine to a cat by myself. Send strength please

Especially since in order to make the transfer, I would have to give them my phone number first. Apparently there’s a lot a scammer can do with just your phone number.
Ugh. I don’t think it’s worth the risk.

Tried to buy a concert ticket too late. Show sold out.
Posted on the Lex app looking for someone interested in reselling.
Got quick responses from three accounts… none of which have ever made a post of their own on Lex. Big red flags going up. It probably wasn’t worth asking.

Still-in-bed Saturday morning thought:

The vast majority of families are to some degree “found families,” even those following the monogamous nuclear model. Before each new couple gets together, they are strangers who have to find each other first.
