Just watched @yrfatfriend.bsky.social’s documentary and it was so beautiful. I’m gonna give a copy to our school health teacher and counselor and recommend they show it to students. Unlikely what with all the swearing 😂 but a girl’s gotta try ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s really a shame my bra is so uncomfortable cause it makes my boobs look amazing.

I've had 1st or 2nd gen AirPods for so long that the noise cancelling and sound dampening of my new ones are super trippy.

I feel obligated to acknowledge the 25th anniversary of September 11, because 25 is a big anniversary, and the event had a huge impact on the US, NYC, the world, and me personally. But I teach about it every year, and watched it shift from experience to history. And world events are in a new stage.

Oh god. It turns out one of my group members for this semester long project is a fan of AI. She just shared an outline for our paper that AI generated for her. The outline is the easiest part!

Even my small-town coworker who I’m 95% sure voted for him recognized his $5000 bribe for what it is.

Just had to have a hard family meeting talking to my dad about training in a replacement for one of his favorite jobs because his dementia is starting to progress enough that he’s making small mistakes. Fuck dementia.

Well the Hadestown pro-shot is a masterpiece. I started crying before Andre de Shields opened his mouth and didn’t stop until credits rolled. I’m so grateful they filmed this show and I hope the success inspires more shows to film pro-shots.

My professor: This isn’t a paper you can starting writing the day it’s due. Me: oh bet?

I have no desire or motivation to write this 8 page paper that’s due tomorrow. 😭

Absolutely love being so nervous about a test that I do the math to check if I’ll still pass the class if I get half the questions wrong. Love feeling like I didn’t learn half the stuff that was on the practice test. Great class. 0/10 would not recommend

Keeping up with twin 8-year olds as an almost 39-year old is no easy feat and one I will be recovering from for at least a week.

Looks like I finished my internship that required me to commute 50 miles both ways 3 days a week just in time. Luckily I had no real plans to go anywhere all summer anyway.

At Hadestown again. Taking bets on the first time I cry this time around. I’m guessing it’ll be the moment Eurydice walks on stage.

I've just spent the last hour and a half on a group chat with my best friends from high school and I don't think I really realized just how much I missed them and needed to talk to them.

Beth @lizzystrata.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

It’s a testament to how bad support chatbots are that it makes me, a person who desperately hate talking on the phone, wish for a phone call instead.

There is a new autistic barbie out, but no one is talking about her mother, undiagnosed computer engineer barbie about to get the surprise of her life when she starts to argue with the evaluator that these are all normal childhood behaviours that she had when she was the same age.

so pretty soon ice will have deployed every officer they have to minneapolis and the thing to do then is cut a huge hole in the ice in a big lake and have bugs bunny dress up like a lady and stand behind talking all "help help rescue me from all the foreigners!"

Reviewing my midterm internship eval with my supervisor and one of the things she pointed out that I could work on is that when I get overwhelmed, I tend to shut down, and like...yeah.....guilty lol

Please quote post a picture where you were completely happy, and nothing else mattered but that moment. Arriving to Disneyland and seeing my nephews for their third birthday.

Having not long ago finished watching for the first time Critical Role's 1st campaign, currently watching their second campaign, and keeping up with their current campaign, I must know (don't tell me) will Liam ever not play a Sad Boy? (Absolutely do not tell me, I will find out in due time)

Great question posed by one of my 7th graders today. Is sugar cane real or does it only exist in Minecraft?

A couple weeks ago in my policy class we were analyzing the OBBA and how unequivocally harmful it is and one of my classmates asked why did they pass it and sincerely believed that the people who passed it can't be that malicious and I'm just like, Baby girl...where have you been?

This fucking Mac update just bricked my computer on the day I quit my job so I can do a fucking unpaid internship for a year, which I need my fucking computer for

My city-boy nephews are visiting a Minnesota lake for the first time and they are having the full experience. Boat ride. Jumping in the lake. Catching a fish. Catching a toad. Their minds are truly blown.

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."
