just walked out of my shift at work after being misgendered multiple times by coworkers. it’s bad enough that it happens with customers 10 times a day but since we’ve been having people from other stores coming in to cover shifts it’s started happening with coworkers and i’m just so tired of it.

there's a tournament going on in a couple weeks, it's up in the mountains on a saturday and if i can get the friday off work i might go up and camp the night before (mainly to save myself a 3 hour drive followed by 6 hours of football and another 3 hour drive home)

there’s some genuine drama going down in the my chemical romance fandom relating to behaviour at gigs and it’s genuinely cool seeing gen z emo kids develop basic concert-going etiquette from first principles after the post-covid era dark ages

probably the most succinct sign of how bad gender affirming care is in the UK was when I described my previous HRT regimen to my new (US-based) doctor and she grimaced like she’d just drunk piss

i sometimes really miss the part of being mentally ill that made me be online all the time :/ i feel so anti social now because basically functioning as a human being in the world is taking up all the effort and energy i used to have for Posting

Try my new beauty cream. its USP is that it's packed full of inessential oils. you don't need any of them. not sure what half of them do. pretty sure that one's from a car

well i didn’t think we would ever get the chance again but we ran the Leeds 10K today! our only goal was to enjoy a sunday morning run around leeds so the time didn’t matter and we really just enjoyed every second of it 🥰 sprinting to the finish on the headrow made me feel very emotional!

ugh i need to vent for a second: we applied for a job on 9/4, got invited to a 1st interview 22/4, 2nd interview 4/27, THIRD interview 5/8. after that they said “we’ll let you know in a few days”, which was now almost 4 weeks ago! and last monday they said “no later than friday” and guess what?????

a few weeks ago i was talking to my coworker about how i’m interested in unusual coins like the special edition quarters and dollar coins and stuff like that, and i noticed that every week when she distributes out the cash tips she always puts cool coins in my tip bag ☺️
