@reina_sabah @QueenBooksTO Given that I absolutely LOVED two of those books it stands to reason I should pick up the third just to see if it's my jam too!

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@NoemiPOM @THEBENWA I still don't know how I pulled that one off.

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@wordweasel Ooooh I'm gonna put a hold on that.

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@PaigeKnorr Weren't we just talking about this? 😀

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@Tuckinator Right but what is it

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@buttartist You need to play all star to torture @AndUncool tho

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@buttartist I'm surprised all star isn't on there

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@PaigeKnorr Ahhhh at least it hasn't been quite that cold! At 12 degrees I'd have to go home.

A note in the work slack this morning saying that the heat in our office is broken, which is why we have been freezing for two days already. Nice to know we're not imagining it but still beyond infuriating.

The only traditions we observe:

1. sia’s christmas album

2. that’s it that’s the tweet

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@PaigeKnorr I'm so sorry

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@PaigeKnorr Good, we're quite the pair.

[Vikki S @kiasha]

I have sneezed 16 times in a row this morning and they're still coming. Someone save me.

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@buttartist Oh yeah I read you! I'm just still fascinated.

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@buttartist As established I HAVE MANY THOUGHTS

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@Superlativeh @NoemiPOM You're human! I'm human! We're all human. It's okay to not be able to handle stuff sometimes. Realistically a good relationship can handle being told no, I think, but it's still hard to say it.

[Vikki S @kiasha]

I am mesmerized by all the friendship/emotional labour takes and I cannot stop thinking about it.

I think... All of them are right? Which just goes to suggest that it's the kind of thing that has to be negotiated in each relationship.

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@THEBENWA @Superlativeh Yeah that's the start of it. A lot of people have takes, varying from "who doesn't do this" to "people who ask for this don't have any real friends"

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@Superlativeh @NoemiPOM I guess what I don't like is the quantification, really. As both of you say, energy is finite. Having to choose makes it harder but also it's inevitable that sometimes we're all going to run out, no matter how much we do care or what else is or isn't happening.

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@Superlativeh @NoemiPOM That's literally always true, though, people always get to decide if a relationship is "worth it". The point of most relationships is building enough shared sentiment that one becomes invested enough in another that they're "worth" a lot, or at least a lot more than any rando.

[Vikki S @kiasha]

@samandfuzzy @NoemiPOM That's a solid point! Not that long ago sometimes you just couldn't get a hold of people. Now I sometimes push myself to practice not answering messages in seconds, because as a habit I don't think it's actually good for me.
