wtb sanity, will pay with "thoughts and prayers"

i want to quit my job and join a nudist colony in space

I keep waiting to get randomly yelled at because of my experiences on birdsite.

I really want to get into programming again... Ruby seems fun.

It's so bad when people at my job are always complimenting my stability, but then here I am taking a mental health day and trying to plan out how I can go two more days at work without talking to a single human being, because anxiety is literally gnawing up my brain.

There are few more jarring things in the world than having people compliment you for something that's just a carefully maintained mask.

I shouldn't be shocked at this point, but somehow the amount of casual transphobia that I stumble into while reading various books still shocks me.

People go to me for advice on relationships. I'm like, yeah sure, as me. I'm clearly filled with wisdom. So, then I recommend the latest in winter fashion.

You see, I didn't come out of the closet until late enough that I think I merged with the coats. As a result, I know all about staying warm in dark places.

So, I joined DSA not too long ago, just to support them. I totally hadn't realized that this meant someone would be trying to meet me in person to talk. It's like... Dude. I have severe social anxiety. lol. They might as well be space zombies trying to invite me over for dinner.

Okay, I'm taking a deep breath and and and I'm here and only moderately slightly overwhelmed by all of this delicious newness and prehistoric vibes (you know, bc mastodon - anyone laughing? no, okay that's okay). hi all
