I come from a long line of Russian bakers. That's why my gene pool has vodka and yeast in it.
LCMS 🦬, Geographer, Writer, Swing Dancer.

I wrote a book.

Fellas, is it feminism for women to *checks notes* exist?

[Catherine ☕️ Crankypants @yeastyvodka]

@FlowersAgainst @InfinitiCraftCo I really love a good warm brown color. So nice.

Okay, this is a lie. I had good sleep when I taught English in Hong Kong in 2010. And camping in Africa a couple years ago.

[Catherine ☕️ Crankypants @yeastyvodka]

I really need a good night's sleep for the first time in my life.

My algorithm is being stupid.

My "favorite" platitude people give to comfort singles is "You are not behind!"

Because yes I am, thank you for your shit advice.

Also "God is preparing you for marriage!"

So why am I almost 40 but someone I know met her husband at THIRTEEN? Was she super prepared?

[Catherine ☕️ Crankypants @yeastyvodka]

I honestly don't care. I don't believe them. I don't even want to believe them. Because NOT having something wrong with me? That means my life is supposed to suck this majorly hard. It's easier to blame myself than to blame God. And not many people get that.

I really don't like being me most of the time. I'm so frustrated with being unable to do marketing for my book. I just don't know how to do it in a way that catches people's attention. It was easier when I was a teenager to just write and let people discover it.

[Catherine ☕️ Crankypants @yeastyvodka]

I haven't been dancing in months. I was rejected for Christmas Traditions this year so the one thing that I looked forward to was taken away from me. And when people try to make me feel better, "oh, I love you! You're my friend! You're amazing! You have a lot of good qualities!"

[Catherine ☕️ Crankypants @yeastyvodka]

I've been so mentally exhausted that I haven't been able to write in months. It's really frustrating. I have my books I want to write but I'm so tired.

[Catherine ☕️ Crankypants @yeastyvodka]

The fireworks begin

[Catherine ☕️ Crankypants @yeastyvodka]

@CryssyJ824 Oh I forgot about that!

[Catherine ☕️ Crankypants @yeastyvodka]

This terrible book is even more terrible. This chick is literally changing the axial tilt of the planet (scifi) because we "don't need winter."

Me, a literal geographer who took earth science and biogeography courses: That's not how this works That's not how any of this works.

[Catherine ☕️ Crankypants @yeastyvodka]

oh crap I went to college but I never bothered to find myself. Is it too late? I turn 40 in August. Where should I start looking?

[maddyy @localsweety]

getting married at 19 before you actually experience college life and find yourself is actually terrifying

May pray for peace and a calm spirit for someone suffering from anxiety, and hare Bible verses of God's love and forgiveness instead of telling people they're sinning. But that's no fun when you can yell at a stranger online.

[Catherine ☕️ Crankypants @yeastyvodka]

"Anxiety is a sin, and you're letting Satan have control!"

Me at 25: H-how can you say that? That's ao hurtful! I don't want to sin!

Me at 39:

@jennieofYT Yesss, I started today and it was like a switch flipped in my brain. Such a freaky thing.

[Catherine ☕️ Crankypants @yeastyvodka]

For the record I had a panic attack today and I've been spacy all day, and Im dealing with PMDD so my brain is both spacy and haywire. So thus my weird rants.

[Catherine ☕️ Crankypants @yeastyvodka]

@jennieofYT Oh no, I'm so sorry you're dealing with that! I hope you find some peace soon.
