2 queer ND teens at workthe other day told me they love my outfits and that I always "slay" and I WILL be riding that high for at least a month

If anyone knows of a queer/neurodivergent friendly person looking for a flat, hit me up, we've got a room to fill!

My pain, as someone who loves spreadsheets, having to watch someone try to input data that I KNOW would take two seconds but they're struggling for over 5 minutes, is physical and astronomical and I have to be polite

Gotta decide if doing a 5.5k fun run after getting a tooth yanked is doable or not :/

[Jem Hawthorn @JemHWriter]

Got a tooth extracted today and I am gods most pathetic wet beast, mouth too numb to know if I have chocolate pud smeared or not

One of the many reasons I wear a lesbian flag lanyard with nonbinary and rainbow pins is so the awkward teens in the centre clock it and chat with me

[Ajanaé Dawkins @MoonsAtDusk]

Small talk with people I don't know ≠ small talk with people I do. Talking about how the sun is out w/ husbae or my best friends is a completely different convo than talking about how the sun is out w/ strangers. Intimacy and knowing shape the mundane.

I have NO going out/date clothes, it's a travesty, all my clothes rn are sfw which goes against EVERYTHING I stand for

Tomorrow is my birthday, which my work gives us off paid, so I intend to do what I love which is read, watch movie and sew slutty clothes
