lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 13/06/2026I’m just genuinely feeling so much better lately. So much more relaxed, happy, like reliably in a good mood, engaging with my hobbies a TON, interacting with people, my bones feel good. 010
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 12/06/2026I’ve been feeling so endlessly good lately, outside of the expected downs from PMSing. I feel so much better than honestly ever before, like very consistently. Engaging in my hobbies, MASSIVELY less anxious, way more capable of social connection. 010

lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 17/04/2026It’s okay to value your health and ability to create over the safe paycheck. Like obvs it’ll be scary, but things will always be scary and the time will pass anyway. 000
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Can feel my trauma melting away at new job. I know I’ll eventually get new discomforts cuz like working inherently brings discomfort, but I’m so glad to be on a better path 010
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Alright so this is related but not exactly to the question. I really try to identify the root cause of my discomfort and reduce my contact with that. So, trying to align my life with less big feelings rather than exclusively focusing on releasing after big feelings happen. 000
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 13/04/2026- Having the proper amount of taxes withheld. - An employer who pays my residency taxes instead of dodging it and then getting mad at me when the taxman gets them 010
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Tbh some of the highlights of new job: - Get my teeth fixed (fillings, braces) 110
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Cuz like I was aiming towards a research job just in the for profit world cuz idk I just didn’t realize that there was a viable nonprofit research job market in town. 000
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Took a look at the most recent researcher position, and ye I’ll be qualified at the end of my degree or at the tail end of my degree 100
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 10/04/2026navigate paperwork so they can get back out there doing their career instead of being lost in the certification system. Which is very feel good all around. 000
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 10/04/2026processes. And everyone here goes the mile to actually help our clients instead of just ‘help’ them. And the clients are early childhood professionals. So supporting them is easy because they see us being caring and respond in kind. And my work product is now enabling childhood professionals 100
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Also I am deeply deeply glad I’m in the new space too. I. Two weeks in and I’m so relaxed and supported. My bosses speak my language re: education and culture of care. They’re happy that I’m critical of information systems and are excited I bring a systems brain into play to stress test their 110
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 10/04/2026non profit helping field again, to be honest I’m like maybe I’ll just stay nonprofit. Maybe I’ll just suck up the lower wage ceiling to stay in a space where I don’t have to see my humanity or human body chipped away for profit. 110
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 10/04/2026YES IT IS AWFUL. It’s like living right there at the grody edge of capitalism. Just. And like tbh I might just stay nonprofit for a while too because like I just. Something about that exact situation you’re describing, it just makes me sick the longer I have to be there. So now that I’m in the 100
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 10/04/2026(And also yes I am happy to rant about how it’s BS that in order to have access to this type of job folks need a bachelors degree because literally the customer service and detail needed here is like 15% of what you utilize daily at grooming and the system is RIGGED) 210
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 10/04/2026making 47k working a ‘low pay nonprofit’ and have full bennies including robust retirement, no exposure to risk, and work half the day and use the other half on homework. 110
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Yeah that’s craaazzzyyy. No way in hell. And I presume no health coverage either. Yeah like deadass the last place was like haha I pay SOO good. And I was like girl be real, there’s no Bennies and 45k does not cover life or limb. I know it’s the systemic privilege of education etc, but now I’m 110
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 10/04/2026Yeah that’s super not worth it. Even when I was bathing part time I was at 25k. I hit 45k being at 45% fulltime. But I just. There’s not enough protections in place for the associated risks. 110
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 04/04/2026And they’re entirely at peace with me being openly gender weird. They use my name and pronouns when I’m not around, and advocated at every level of clearance to have my records be under my name everywhere possible. 010
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 04/04/2026OH and in-house researcher positions. So when I’m closer to finished with my grad degree I can try sliding into a researcher position. 110
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 04/04/2026And I get my own cubicle I’m encouraged to decorate, my own laptop so if I need to work at home I can, it’s going to pay a little more than I was making grooming AND full health and retirement benefits, including mental health benefits. 110
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 04/04/2026they want someone who can meet people where they are and identify needs. The bosses are really assertive about making sure staff is supported and not taking on too much work to prevent burnout, because they need low turnover specialists. Everyone is kind, collaborative, supportive. 110
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 04/04/2026So BASICALLY! New job is university x government. I’ll be a database specialist. I’ll be helping childhood professionals (teachers, administrators, etc) navigate and document training and certifications over the phone, email, zoom classes. They wanted someone with teaching and systems exp because 110
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 04/04/2026I think I found my work family. I’ve never felt so valued at work. And it’s a good job on my growth path. 010
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 30/03/2026I’m really going to like this job!! First day is going well!! 010
lilscremble @lilscremble.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Damn like. The hardest thing tbh is wanting to drink and smoke and knowing that none of that will actually help me feel better. 000
