Update: Thankfully, I did not send him mail, but he ended up blocking me 😭 He did show his face at my workplace in June after MONTHS of not being in contact with him. Recently, I found out he moved back to Japan as a civilian. I don't know why I'm still not over this man! FML!

Is it insane if I send him physical mail instead of texting him to get his attention?!

What prompted this return was an almost 3-hour phone call with a guy who was worth tweeting about!

I'm not buying Twitter Premium, so I will continue to delete my tweets and retweet them. Apologies to those who see these twice.

Hello to any of my followers who are still here, I'm (sadly) back! I've got a lot to update y'all on.

the happy drugs are not making me feel happy.

It's so much cooler to call my vision problem I was experiencing earlier this week as an "aura" (a medical symptom usually before a migraine).

It's a TOTALLY normal Saturday except my cat died.

So if the person this is about sees this, I hope you're doing well and maybe we could reconnect.

It's kind of awkward when your (former) best friend's grandfather who you see regularly at your job says, "You know [granddaughter] had a baby last year, right?" when you don't even talk to this friend anymore which is sad.

If you're so impressed by what a robot can do, imagine what a real human artist can make! Support living artists!

@J_wiil7 Oh sorry, I meant I was looking for indie web developers/my friends to create something niche/fun, not some random person on the internet who is into NFTs!

ISO of people who want to collaborate on an html website about working in retail/at a grocery store AKA the 7 aisles of hell. I would love help with coming up the concepts/lore and design for each page and the actual coding. If you're interested in this please DM!

Why is this not being taken seriously and the guy hasn't been fired yet?! Why are the higher ups saying to keep this situation hush hush?!

Why am I hearing that one of my coworkers (not a highschooler, a grown ass man) is targeting another coworker who is a person of color by making crude remarks about 🧊 and in front of customers who don't speak English as their first langauage?!

I feel kind of isolated and nervous to connect with people (about everything). I want to surround myself with hope and love and optimism and art but that feels so difficult to achieve right now.

It feels so heavy to constantly have my feed filled with the terrible events happening in my country/state every time I open Instagram. I'm not trying to dismiss the bad things that are going on, but it's honestly a lot to deal with mentally.

with art without feeling shame or like it's frivolous. I wish I could go about my life "normally" but I feel guilty for doing so. I am scared about going into the city or even nearby (big) towns and I haven't made future plans because I'm worried about what might happen.
