All I’m asking for is one scandalized article about how older generations wasted so much time standing around at the office talking and not working that they had to create the phrase “water cooler chat.”

Boomers Are Faking Thirst To Avoid Productivity

my therapist asked what made me happy recently and I told her about when I signed a receipt and the pen wrote so smooth I audibly said “oh hell yeah” and she sighed for like 30 seconds

If somebody is coming across rude by doing things like:

• cancelling plans last minute
• avoiding phone calls
• saying no to activities
• leaving social situations early and quietly
• not contributing to conversations

Please consider that they might actually have anxiety

Blows my mind that people hire ‘creatives’ then stick them in a lifeless office, make them work 9-5, invite them to Microsoft Teams calls throughout the day, remind them to move their Jira tickets along a Kanban board, and not to forget their timesheets.

Creatives. 😂

The more emotional safety you give a woman, the more freedom she gives you. Just something to consider.

Was I very productive this week? No. But was I able to rest and relax? Also no. But was I gentle with myself about all of this? No

“you’re so ambitious!” thanks as a child I learned that achievement equals love

Asking for a sick day feels so infantalizing, composing a professional email to be like “I frew up”

[Jesse Case @jessecase]

I always feel awful for the elves. You took the job 80 years ago to make some whimsical rocking horses, 4 parts tops. And now you're soldering an iPad motherboard with your arthritic, cinnamon-scented hands. A brutal gig.

ice cream trucks are great but in the winter we need a SOUP TRUCK. do they even understand how much money I’d spend if there was a truck rolling through my neighborhood every day doling out piping hot soup

[Space Grace, temporal anomaly 🕰️🌌🇵🇸 @dreamsofskies]

🧠: You fucked up that interaction and that person hates you now.

Me: No I'll talk it out with them, it will be fine.

Me: *talks it out*

🧠: Okay, so they didn't hate you, but NOW they think you're weird for being so sensitive and needing reassurance.

Me: Oh COME ON

If you’re wondering what I want for my birthday, I want a single-payer French medical card to cut cheese with, to eat with my fresh baguette on a fast and frequent train.

[trash jones @jzux]

an important thing for every person to have is a Soup Person. can be a partner, a sibling, a good friend, doesn’t matter. But basically the key to life is having at least one person who can and will bring soup to your house when you are sick

@kayla_zima birding is a gateway drug to spending hours alone in the backyard without speaking, you have been warned
