Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I like country music. I've said the words "This Garth Brooks song whips" to other people. If you told me that song was AI, I wouldn't question it. In fact, I've heard AI songs I like way more. Justice for "10 Drunk Cigarettes" 001
Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Now that I guess we're talking about it, is this a safe space to reveal I hadn't heard "Choosin' Texas" until I looked it up yesterday and it was without exaggeration the worst fucking song I've ever heard in my life 100
Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Genuinely an alien experience. How do you know what to buy. How are you not wasting half of it 000
Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 22/09/2026If your phone or computer breaks and you have to get a new one and set it up and log back into everything, you should get the day off work. I actually did have the day off work, but I want an additional day off 010
Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I'm so annoyed by how fascinating the media coverage of The Macklemore Situation is 001
Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I don't know what he thought I said, and maybe he was just sick of me being generally annoying, but now I think there's a real possibility he wasn't joking 001
Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 20/09/2026One time a colleague from another country claimed Americans don't know how much our coins are worth because another American colleague said he didn't know, so I tweeted at him "Please tell him you were joking, he actually believed you." I thought it would be funny! But in response he blocked me??? 100

Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 17/09/2026So weird that he has to make it political when he clearly just wants to yell about his favorite ship. It might actually be kind of endearing if he just went off about how she belongs with Gabriel but instead he's like "Why isn't Emily in Paris a tradwife" 121
Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I said it one time, people. Because why can't I just find out what he said? Why is that so hard? I got led down a rabbit hole against my will and I plead ADHD 110

Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 14/09/2026A+ bait and switch here, where the headline is "The Good-Man Shortage Has Gotten Exponentially Worse" and the article is "Maybe stop thinking every teacher and grantwriter is trying to scam you, Charlotte" www.thecut.com/article/good... 000
Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 14/09/2026This is fun actually, thinking of making my own pathologically defensive FAQ. "Is Manna caught up on work? How many lattes has Manna had this week? When was the last time Manna washed her hair?" 010

Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I've been confused but, like, not saying anything because my letter grades have been higher than what it seems like they should be based on my scores, but then my husband's friend told me the Canadian grading system is different. 80+ is an A, 70-79 is a B, etc. It turns out I'm smarter in Canada 100

Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Now he's reading me a list of things to do in Cincinnati and it's only strengthening my point. "See? They have... a park!" 100
Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 05/09/2026My husband is so travel persuadable. He will leap at the opportunity to go literally anywhere. "Let's go to Cincinnati" do you hear yourself 100

Amanda Mannen @mannafesto.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Why am I so much more anxious about everything than I was 20 years ago, especially school? It's so undignified. "If you need me, I'll be lying flat on my back and panicking about this afternoon's midterm," said the 40-year-old woman 100
