You’re a bigger person than me. My bestie got into beef with a local author back when we were in high school and I still trash his name to anyone who will listen (get fucked, Babiak)

It’s always when you’re already having an annoying bullshit day that McDonald’s gives you a leaky-ass coffee cup

Drop the brand name, I want one but always feel like I’m being scammed when I try shopping online for one

My bestie has done really well reducing her screen time but I have not, nor have I even tried. I’m just sitting staring at my phone waiting for her to come talk to me, like a sad dog waiting by the door for its owner.

I feel like the older you get, the more you need them. Everyone I meet through hobbies and work is married or 15 years younger than me (or both lol) and finding someone compatible with me as a 40yo mom and certified weirdo seemed a lot harder than at 20 when I was barely a person.

I am so over this dogshit month lol. Mama needs a win.

I guess. It’s one of my all-time faves, so I didn’t question it.

“You look stressed.” Thanks, it’s the stress.

Why is this Wednesday so Thursday-coded

Pretty sure I saw somewhere that this is fake, but I’m obsessed with the RICO allegations lol

Ran out of facial moisturizer so I started putting a cheap hand cream on my face and ngl it works just as well

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I bought this the other day assuming it was merely “white” flavoured and not cherry and it really threw me for a loop

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

This is something I’ve been wanting to get better at forever so if anyone else is interested in getting together with our sewing machines for a day to smash out some work and struggle through together please do not hesitate to hmu

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I’m trying to curb my habit of buying clothes as a dopamine fix when I’m bored or stressed or feeling bad about myself and in typical weirdo fashion I’ve decided this means committing to only *making* clothes or altering my existing clothes. We’ll see how it goes 😅

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I was supposed to move in with Devin next weekend but his place was very badly damaged overnight due to a weird freak plumbing failure. All the renovations we’ve been working on for months destroyed 😭 feels like a cruel joke.

Life really is just cruel and random eh

Are they comfortable? I have trouble with earbuds etc fitting comfortably in my ears so I’m nervous to invest in them if I won’t be able to wear them :/ I like how subtle they are rather than big earmuffs though

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I had issues with my ears all summer and could barely hear anything and now that it’s resolved, every sound seems so unbearably loud. Like I truly cannot deal. Anyone know of good ear protection for someone who needs to hear her kids but not be driven up the wall by them?

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I had a call with an FSCD caseworker the other day who actually seemed like she wanted to help me and my family and it’s weird how surprising and unfamiliar that felt when it should definitely be the bare minimum in a social services role

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Anyone can be fun to date but it’s when the two of you are mopping up the flood you inadvertently caused in the room you just finished hanging drywall in that you really find out if you’re with your person 😅

011

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

The amount of effort it’s taking to get my fam moved into Dev’s house is burning me out hard but also confirming that there’s no one else I’d rather be stressed and tired and miserable with

Love when my coworker announces to the team chat that he’s taking lunch at 10:30am. Fuck yeah king get that mid-morning sandwich.

I don’t WANT to be maimed but life is more exciting when it’s on the table, you know?

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Been doing a lot of home renos I honestly have no business doing lately and I see why dudes love this. It’s just giant arts and crafts with the thrill of maybe getting maimed by your power tools.

I refuse to believe that this line doesn’t work

I remember my gay friend’s reaction to the movie coming out, something he would’ve liked but was clearly hurt by its creator alienating him. And that was enough! It should be enough.

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I’ve never read/watched Harry Potter because it just never interested me but my favourite books from my childhood that I was hugely obsessed with were by a homophobe and I just stopped engaging with them a long time ago because I’m not 12 anymore and there is other media.

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Sometimes I’m like omg I forgot to eat lunch!! This never happens!! Who am I!! And then I make lunch even though I’m not really hungry, and THEN I realize I did eat lunch already, I just forgot.

One of the optional courses offered at my kid’s junior high is just Avatar: the Last Airbender

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

It truly is bananas how short the “having kids” part of life actually is, they are going to be all grown in like 5 minutes 😭

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Absolutely outrageous that my TINY BABY is starting junior high today what the FUCK

Ham radio is also on my list lol. I support all of this.

010

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Taking up piano again is also on my list lol. Yeah often for me it’s like, something will remind me of or engage me to some degree with something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, so I dig in. But I have too many hobbies and interests for most to be permanent.

110

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Is it normal or an AuDHD thing to have like a backlog of special interests to get into when I have a chance? I cycle through them every couple of years and my attention can only be split so many ways at any given moment but like. I’m just waiting for my moment to get really into model trains.

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

We’re renovating to make room for me and my kids in Dev’s house and I simply cannot believe how much my body hurts after a few days of real work. This soft email job body cannot hang. Thought taping drywall would be relatively chill but now my hand is swollen and stuff. Jesus Christ.

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Was bitching about perimenopause with my bestie and then had to have a little cry about how beautiful it is that those two weird teenage girls who met awkwardly in high school are still there for each other every day 20+ years later 🥹 anyway my hormones are whack rn lol

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Was wondering why some kid was outside howling at 4am but then I remembered animals exist

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I guess my real question is does going grey mean going bald because I was prepared to deal with the former but not the latter 😭

010

Em MacKenzie @emilymackenz.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I had bleached hair until I recently cut it short enough that it’s all my natural colour. Now I’m noticing greys for the first time. But specifically I’m noticing them falling out all the time? Just grey hairs lying around my room? Is this a thing, that grey hair falls out more?
