Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 1hI got a $5.25 latte at the Starbucks drive thru and gave a $1 tip. The barista rolled his eyes and looked away disdainfully when he handed me my coffee. okay 110

Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I worked all weekend. all weekend. I had to. that was insane. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 03/10/2026someone at work today asked me if I wanted to go outside and walk with them and I said no only because if I go out there I'm going to head for the hills and not stop. and everyone laughed, but tbh i wasn't really joking. it was that kind of a week 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 03/10/2026every so often- I know when I need it - i will simply stop what I am doing, and do nothing instead. pausing in the midst of chaos is an excellent way to remember it's all meaningless anyway. 110
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 30/09/2026if your parents could fully fund your education, good for you (truly). but for those of us who had to find a way to get ourselves through it - we were no less deserving of that education, nor ought we to have a limited menu because we were not born into wealth. get over yourselves 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 30/09/2026you learn a lot when you have a conversation with anyone about how they really feel about student loans, who deserves them (quote, unquote), who 'doesn't'. I was keenly interested to hear about who doesn't, since - apparently, that's me, the "undeserving"👋 110

Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 29/09/2026the cruelty of time is the passengers it kicks off the train while you were still conversant with them. you don't get to tell them how the rest of the journey progressed. you have to keep it to yourself and carry the balance, just in case. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 29/09/2026generally I try to ignore the passage of time but every once in a while it jumps scares me. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I woke up after my post-work nap with the startling thought that my grandmother died forty-four years ago. forty-four years. 110
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026With which I agreed but I could not stop laughing because he was spitting all over me in his wrath. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I got stopped by the principal who was furious and lectured me extremely seriously on the importance of appropriate demeanor and attire in an academic environment 110
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026apropos of nothing was thinking about when i was an office aide in grade school and had to distribute absence lists to teachers every morning so one day I wore Super Sunnies when I made the rounds just for funsies 110
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026there is a pool of calm. you are immersed within it. the water is the perfect temperature. you are buoyant, filled with good feeling. there is nothing, no one worth getting out of the pool for. just float placidly in this sense of equilibrium. stay there as long as you need 110
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I stopped running away from the classroom in the fifth grade. I think about that sometimes when I look at these walls. the panic I used to feel in a classroom. these places are both near and far. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I wouldn't go back to childhood me for anything. childhood was a joyless time and place. the only reason I do what I do now is to work to ensure others' lives are different. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I hear/see things sometimes and my face is impassive but on the inside my guts twist as if someone knifed them and hard because that's where I internalize the tough stuff. This is one of those times. 110
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026if you're going to have or take care of a kid you have got to, got to take care of your own shit so the kid doesn't have to deal with it. the kid didn't ask for that. handle it. be responsible. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026as a child I was very nearly silent. I laughed almost noiselessly. I cried the same way. I learned early to mute myself and make myself smaller. this was virtuous, even rewarded. a thought, a memory that makes my heart heavy now. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026a child is crying in the hallway. a sound that breaks my heart. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026related, someone down the hallway is whistling incessantly. 011
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I really don't care how good someone is at whistling. If I hear them doing it, what I am thinking is that they are up to no good. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026people scoff at this but ask any first responder about it and see what they say. 010

Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026paraphrased a Frozen song for a kid today: "let it go, let it go, you stubbed your toe, let it go." she thought it was hilarious. 010

Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I have the door open to the office I am in today. Kids have been swarming in at random intervals squealing joyfully: "you're here! Is it my day?" before their teachers pull them back sternly into their lines. there is a pleasantness to all of this. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I am not saying a child won't lie, but if they do it is probably for one of two reasons. 1. They have learned by example. 2. They lie because they do not feel safe telling the truth. Both situations warrant closer inspection and deep compassion. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026one of the biggest red flags for me is when an adult comes at me screaming "the kid lied, it's all lies." 111
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026There is also something really, really great about walking into a place and being waved at by people who are genuinely happy to see you. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I mean for several days I am always moving and my phone rings a lot and a specific group of persons seem to rely on me heavily to solve problems (I can't always) but at the end of the day, I generally have a sense of...usefulness and that counts for something. More than I thought it would. 010
Twigs @flighterman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026the strange thing is there is a part of me that enjoys all this and that makes me wonder. about me. lol. but at least I am never bored? idk 010
