First post from Lyle's new workplace. Thinking of the poor catering staff there who will need to add shit to the menu

Words v actions.

Me: all of the social medias are absolute toilets.
Extremely Internet People: lol that’s why Discord exists.
Me: *spends day comforting an Internet friend who’s just had a miscarriage and is being mocked about it on discord by other people in the stupid mobile game we all play*

@slamup I’d feel sorry for that person but for the fact that I have a cold dead lump for a heart.

@KerriSackville Oof, yep. Right there with you.

[Aimee @wordsandsequins]

@datakid23 I want to watch it and also don’t.

“Back the Blue” Senators voted to acquit the former president after they helped incite a white supremacist insurrection that left police officers dead.

It was never about “Blue Lives” mattering. It was just about making sure Black lives don’t.

I’m currently cringing in two different temporal spaces, which honestly is a bit of an achievement.

In today’s episode of Moving Back to Where You Grew Up: my partner mentioned a woman he knows through work as someone I’d get along with and that we should all hang out sometime.
Obviously she turns out to be someone I very awkwardly and obviously had a crush on in high school.

[Aimee @wordsandsequins]

@liahc Perfect. Also true.

[Aimee @wordsandsequins]

@aquaprofunda No I don’t like this. Bad meds.

[Aimee @wordsandsequins]

Me: it is hard to meet people and make friends as an adult and living in the country.
Also me: *suddenly twigs at 9:45 on a Friday night after a couple of wines that I’ve had two overtures of friendship in the past three days from people who seem pretty great*

Oh no

[Aimee @wordsandsequins]

Today in boundary setting: it’s not your job to fix things. Probably generally, but especially in a situation where people with more buy-in than you just kind of can’t be fucked.
Yes, the “you” here is me, but maybe this will be a helpful reminder to non-me yous out there.

[Aimee @wordsandsequins]

@MJ_Leaver Damn! 😍

[Aimee @wordsandsequins]

@claracupcakes “You can’t say anything these days!” is only about trying to make money off being shit and not about being held accountable for your actions, I guess.

[David Lo Pun-ch Nazis @helpmeskeletor]

Lol employers trying to trick you into thinking a job is a gift born out of their generosity.

They 100% need you and the minimum wage is just a reflection that if they could pay you less they would.
