So I left a career in law in January of 2015. But friends are still sending me job openings for legal work. STOP. I am now a college history professor and historian, much happier than before. But somehow people see my transition to PhD as a hobby or a bad financial decision.

So incredibly happy I met my person years ago because I could not even imagine dating this era of red piller, immature, insecure men that have come out of their gaming rooms to actively fight to control women and turn them into second class citizens.

@sagastaki I wouldn’t say good is dumb. I’d say dumb is more comfortable than evil than the tough, complex issues in being good.

[Romy on the Roam @bellaromy]

lol. When you get to the point in a relationship you thought you wanted and then realize why people get divorced after 10 years. Fuck it, I’m going full Golden Girls.

When you have info you promised you’d keep on the dl but you’re dying to tell someone…

[Romy on the Roam @bellaromy]

I’ve been on this planet for decades and I still can’t get used to wearing rings on my fingers for longer than a few hours or a day. How do you not fidget and get annoyed by the feeling between your fingers‽

[Romy on the Roam @bellaromy]

When you ran a social experiment and no one noticed. 😆

[Romy on the Roam @bellaromy]

@sagastaki Ah yes, perimenopause the great unifier. From 35-50, it gets you in tiny ways and no one ever talks about it. Salute you for the tips.

@JamesInSWGA @saras76 @0liviajulianna Hey James, I bet you were a “liberal” only by 60s & 70s American male standards. How about don’t tell women what to do or say, especially in response to MAGA vitriol. Olivia is simply using the MAGA standards to measure up this hack health grifter. Clutch your pearls quietly.

If I’m exhausted from celebrating an adult’s birthday yesterday then how am I going to have kids at this age? How the heck did my parents do it‽

[Romy on the Roam @bellaromy]

@sagastaki Why was a child at a company picnic? My company picnics at the firm were torture i could not escape from.

[Romy on the Roam @bellaromy]

@sagastaki My old neighbors across the street ratted me out to my parents when I would have my college bf stay over when they were out of town. The way the male neighbor did it was sneaky.

@LAmaleCA @ABC7 That part of Pasadena has always been crime ridden with lots of gang activity. It’s only recently become gentrified.

The responses to this post are proof that X has been left to right wingers with low standards for political candidates.

Poll: Who should be California's next U.S. senator, Steve Garvey or Adam Schiff? #Election2024 https://t.co/1O8SvvTt1P

[Romy on the Roam @bellaromy]

Will. That’s the real question. WILL they stop corporations? Wouldn’t hold my breath.

[KTLA @KTLA]

Corporations want you to rent, not own. Can lawmakers stop them?

UC Irvine using their shuttles to shuttle their students to jail. 🤮 #UCI

[Romy on the Roam @bellaromy]

Hey @kcalnews UCI has already had graduations in person the past 2 years. So there’s no pandemic issues there. Also how dare you refer to a professor as “the lady” she deserves respect for her years of academic work and achievements.

[Romy on the Roam @bellaromy]

@MaresEsq @TheDemocrats Agree to disagree on that. It’s pretty easy to fear monger the war against an Islamic dictator even with the tiniest bit of evidence. Not sure moral authority was behind wanting to dismantle that regime. Meanwhile no moral authority on Ukraine will override EURO interests.

[Romy on the Roam @bellaromy]

OMFG the way US politicians are tripping over themselves to be on the wrong side of history just to keep their big donors and certain constituents money flowing in.

@BuskirkUsmc @AsmKateSanchez Imagine having fought for a constitution and bill of rights you have clearly never read.
