Election anxiety finds me buying an earwax scraping device off tiktok shop.

The upside of getting ousted in round 1 last year is that my essay is eligible for Second Chanceness in 2025! If you're feeling so inclined, read "Miasma" (link in comments) and nominate for the tourney below. Gimme another chance, baby!

[March Second Chanceness 2025 @marchxness]

The 2025 March Second Chanceness nomination form is now open. Songs/essays that lost in the first round of a previous tournament are eligible. We welcome nominations incl. self nominations, for the August lottery: https://t.co/DT0yMKBdPh

I literally don't care - I will objectify those My Chemical Romance boys from 20 years ago until the day I die. So stupidly attractive.

[Brittney U @BonesAndBeer]

The boys at my local Valvoline are literally the nicest people. I would trust these men with my life.

@HollyPelesky Come to Great Falls, MT. We will go to the Sip n Dip Lounge and surely have many laughs

I love confusing boomers with the term "partner".

One of the best parts of starting a new book is casting the characters in your mind as the hottest people you can imagine.

Things I'm gonna do someday:
Dye my hair blue
Solo cross-country road trip
Make homemade pasta

[Brittney U @BonesAndBeer]

Someone tell me that I'll write again someday. That the desire won't die. Tell me that it will hold on until the time is right. Tell me that the story won't wither.

[Brittney U @BonesAndBeer]

It's amazing how when you eat actual meals you aren't starving all day long.

I need a personal assistant to digitize all of my journals and then inject them directly into my brain.

[Brittney U @BonesAndBeer]

How can I do it?? How do I carve out the time, energy, and focus to do the things I desire amidst the things I am obligated to do?

[Brittney U @BonesAndBeer]

Reading through old journals and working on essays about my divorce and coparenting experience and am feeling the desire to make it into a full-fledged manuscript. Also about to start my 2nd year teaching elementary and another year of grad classes. I need some TIME, bro.
