EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 10hJust woke myself up coughing. This is not ideal, and usually only happens when I am getting COVID. (I got my COVID and flu shots less than a week ago!!! I know it takes a few weeks to kick in so If this is COVID I will be so annoyed.) 120
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I just dreamed a whole ass post college movie about two football bros who are probably in love with each other but it had more of a slapstick comedy vibe? Temporary face tattoos! A terrible pizza quest! Also a hurt/comfort situation? Also one of them was loosely based on Keith Habersberger for sure. 150
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Sounds fine, nothing bad has ever happened policing peoples thought crimes! 110
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I have seven people coming to my house tomorrow for a board meeting so I cleaned. My living room is decluttered and spotless. The "Wait... You mean I could actually live like this all the time??" feeling of guilt and amazement at my usual laziness is R E A L. 170
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Your store really is special tho. Like really really. He gets it! 010
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Dropped the cat off at the cat cardiologist and who boy, that's pricey - what a Western world problem! (She just needs some scans and a fucking echocardiogram to be approved for a new med. She is fine. Sigh.) 040

EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 29/09/2026What does it say about my mental state that, of the 80 audio books in my library, I have chosen to re-listen to Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War? (It's the best horror writing of the decade imo.) 001
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It's made specifically to be joyous and devastating to most of the people I know. Amazing work, can't wait to sob in public! 120
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Good day: gym, groceries, a stop at our new Chipotle! Also got both my flu shot and covid shot so I'm expecting to be down and out for about two days. I've got gorgeous foliage already and some sheep grazing across the street, so maybe I'll just camp out on the porch with a blanket... 170
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I double booked myself for two big events next weekend. Considering one of them is happening at my house, it's obvious which I have to back out of. But that's the one I like better! Argh! I thought I was doing so well with calendars, but alas. 030
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Fucking no!!???!! (Godspeed, hope you are home by tomorrow! Sending love and also booze? Valium? A soft blanket fort that has internet?) 010
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 26/09/2026What the fuck is this fucking week?! A speedy recovery for her and an extra Xanax for you, my friend 110
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I'm back on the job application train after a summer of mental health recovery and man oh man, I hate it here. Cover letters why??? That said, there is a job I am actively excited about which is both great and terrible. I want to care but that means I will be disappointed if I am passed over!! 180
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I had lunch and afternoon hangs with fangirl pals then got dressed up as a pirate and went to a sea shanty sing-along at the local dive bar, so I get a million points for being social today. 180
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Oh, how gutting!! I remember him as the tiniest fluffy boy, and am so glad I got to be part of your journey. Sending love to you and L and poor Rozencrantz. 121
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Oh oh oh! Please report back - I think that may be my last remaining hope for the TMJ, so I hope it works for you + also me! 110
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Who are these people? (Not you, Dom.) The UK traitors celeb edition has Michael fucking Sheen! Why are we so bad at celebrities? 000
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I spent the day feeling down for no real reason, but I dragged myself to a choir rehearsal and also spent $30 on october-appropriate press-on nails which were both quite cheering! 050
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Fully agree! They keep showing up at the apocalypse factory every day for... Fanfic sex cult reasons??? 000
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I also think AI is terrifying but this is not a group I would want to join... 100
Reposted by ELTressie McMillan Cottom @tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Okay so I pitched a cultural piece about the resurgence of gothic incest in pop culture and the attending politics of white power and eugenics. Admittedly, it was too niche. Anyway Musk’s dad apparently has two kids with his stepdaughter and I’m sure it’s all unrelated. 221256265
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Bricked my phone yesterday and am going through actual withdrawal from my mindless games and endless scrolling. Phones are somehow evil now?? 080
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Yes! Ours was the rhinoceros in the living room. Perfect absurdity. I hate him and I hate that he was so good at comedy. 010
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Me too!!! Same!!!!!! It's so quotable and makes me so full of rage!!!! 210

EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Beware of these! I did them once and went from normal vertigo to tossing my cookies repeatedly vertigo. (Did I do it backwards?? Who knows!!) 220
EL @lavishness.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Oh how I envy your pension. (Am applying ONLY to the state school here, for this reason. And also nonprofits, etc. but private colleges are a PASS.) 110
