This is my kind of vandalism

yeah in this case I was applying to be a resident assistant and just needed someone who had spent some time with me to vouch for me being a decent human being 🥴

Today I’m thinking about the english prof who I asked for a letter of rec for an on-campus job. I was a star student. He even read my papers aloud to the class. His reply: “What would I write other than you were a good student and received an ‘A’ in my class?” No punchline. He was just a dick.

You just leveled this up in a major way 💫🫶🏼

was traveling for work and asked to crash on a friend's couch. i wasn't feeling well so she insisted on drawing me a bath. upon getting in and noticing an oddly familiar scent, I then spied a bottle of lemon dish soap on the counter and realized i was the human equivalent of a soaking lasagna pan.

was messaging about logistics for an event with an artist I know and he just lets me know it’s his birthday just flat out and it made me so happy. wish everyone would just say so like this rather than be coy or whatever

That’s exactly what I’m planning ☺️💚

Hah yes! General public ain’t a community - this is why we form tribes. For example, you are in my tribe of bsky friends who were here before the algo shift. It’s a small group but it’s the only reason I still post here

I feel it too, and thanks for saying it! I have *many times* just deleted a comment or blocked an account and moved on w/o telling anyone, and there is an accompanying sensation of “oh, I left the house and forgot something” because I didn’t post about it

the reason it seems like arguing for position is the thing to do… is because we don’t see or hear the people who choose to simply disengage

Today, my daughter said “I hate you” I heard on a parenting vid that what they really mean is “I need a hug” (and the like) So, I asked if she needed a hug. She said yes. I hugged her and explained that she can just ask next time. Later on she walks up to me and goes: “I hate you I want a hug”
