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.

There's a story in my family of my late uncle who was 18 as a senior at a time when the drinking age had been lowered to 18 and who for went and got booze for all of him and all of his friends during lunch. 😂

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. 😭

Ahhh how I long for those halcyon days of Moviepass. I used the fuck out of that service while it lasted.

The actual test was completely different from the practice test and I actual feel ok about how it went. So glad to be done with that class.

030

Beth @lizzystrata.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

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.

A few years ago, my brother ran the NY marathon and we were trying to get across town to meet his friends for dinner. The driver could not compute that he couldn’t go through Central Park. Because of the marathon. That my brother just finished. But Waze said to go through Central Park! 😫

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.

In college, I read Susan Faludi's Backlash about the backlash to the feminist movement and now I can't help but see the backlashes to basically all social progress across the board.

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.

One year, in the halcyon days of MoviePass, I saw every single movie that was nominated for anything. Before the Oscars aired. It was magical and wonderful and completely unnecessary, and I have never and will never do it ever again.

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.

Or maybe even people like me, someone who lives in a rural conservative town but is absolutely incensed at what is happening in The Cities and wishes I could do something to protect my fellow Minnesotans who are being attacked and abducted.

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.

EXU Divergence = Sad Boy Just started EXU Prime and he’s maybe not a Sad Boy? My world is upside down. If Orym does not become a Sad Boy, is he even really a Liam character?

In one of my human behavior classes, the text touched on coping mechanisms and classified dissociation as immature, and, buddy, you can pry my dissociating from my cold dead hands 😭😂

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?

They have been walking around with a toad in their hands “looking” for the right spot to release it for about 20 minutes now. Decent odds that toad will end up in the car to my hometown 😂
