YEARS. Apparently I am to keep my nose out of Shrewsbury matters even though it is absolutely my hometown

I got into a tangle on the Shrewsbury Facebook group last week when a bunch of people were pulling anti-trans nonsense in response to the Jordan pond shooting. One woman was like “you don’t even live here, stay out of it.” She doubled down when I told her my parents had a house in the Bury for FORTY

Me (with no prior context): What do you think of the name “the Bob Geldof Center for Performative Activism”? @phdinprogress17.bsky.social: Oh, its going to be one of those days.

Holiday concert at Worcester Academy for Jack. I guess the school doesn’t have room for the concert so we’re in a very fancy auditorium. @phdinprogress17.bsky.social

Yeah I mean that sucks but so does the fact that I spent all last night researching bankruptcy 🤷‍♀️ Double covered only to not be covered at all.

Yesterday I received a notice that because I was double covered last year and apparently gave all my doctors the incorrect primary insurance, a year and a half worth of medical bills have been denied and I may be on the hook for $24,000. Oh yeah and I heard Brian Thompson died.

It was such a fun little encounter - with both of us complimenting our mutual sense of mobility aid style.

We went to the aquarium today and I had my hot pink rollator with me. This girl in a wheelchair stopped me and complimented how sassy it was and then I noticed the rainbow spokes on her chair. THEN she revealed that she had rigged up bike lights in the wheels and I squealed.

My husband just said “I made space for the cheese in the fridge” and without even thinking I asked if he was also finding power in that.

One of my best friends in the world has been through the wringer over the past few years. He’s helped me out so much through our friendship (he loaned me my retainer when I got divorced 8 years ago 😂). If you can help or share I’d appreciate. www.gofundme.com/f/help-nick-...

I’m so sorry you also know the feeling. It’s the memories that get me - you know. There isn’t a single person in the whole world who knows those stories besides me and her

My whole life I’ve wanted to be friends with someone who would prefer to be with me above anyone else. (Apart from spouses). For decades I thought I had that and I am having a lot of trouble dealing with the fact that it has never been true.

I just broke up with my former best friend of 35 years. I tried to fix the relationship and I’m mostly just left with a litany of criticisms about my personality and character. Say something nice about me because I need it 🥲 this has been a year long process and I still have no idea what happened.

I think everyone should disengage from relationships with people who think all the problems will be solved if you just fix everything they think is wrong work you.

Omg I hosted my first student focus group solo at @ccri and being around students must made me feel like I was at home again. Oh god I loved it 😍😍😍

Yeah. I’ve come to that conclusion unfortunately. The connection is all pain and zero payoff at this point

That insulting? Just off the bat with no context. Is that just a regular old statement or what?

I have to crowdsource something because it’s driving me crazy. If a former friend told you, as an explanation for why they no longer wanted to engage with you : “I care about having a regulated nervous system and you seem to just live your life at that level” (meaning unregulated), would you find

We don't need conspiracy theories about the election. We lost for a wide range of reasons, fair and unfair, local, national, and international--look at the wave of incumbents losing elections in the last years--and giving in to MAGA-style nonsense is very much NOT the solution.

My husband came home with Shaq themed gummies. Which are basically gummies in the shape of Shaq’s head. But are blue. And taste like Swedish fish.
A bag of candies that says “shaqalicious xl gummies.” They are gummy candies that are in the shape of Shaquille o”Neil’s head. Yes, I’m serious.

No no THIS is very true! I’ve been made the de facto note taker in a sea of men before too. I am unbelievable when it comes to dictation and transcription, though, and it’s a cool party trick

The cat’s out of the bag at work that I can type 140 words per minute so now I think I’m gonna be the resident note taker for the foreseeable future.

The amount that I want to be perceived is a delicate balance.

I’m on ADHD meds and SSRIs and I know for a fact my life would collapse if they come after either of those. SSRIs literally saved my life.

I am the secretary of a committee at my college. I was obviously sitting in the couch next to Rich for my meeting this morning. 🤦‍♀️

We haven't done a big fundraising push in a few years, but we're going to be doing more of it to close out 2024. We'd like to keep the magazine going, and we'd like to keep paying contingent historians, given that the academy seems like it's going to keep producing them.

I’m honestly blown away by the fact that people keep following me. It took me years of nerd posting to cross 2,000. My hubby @richferba.bsky.social is a little salty so follow him so I can stop hearing about it. 🤣

If I can find common ground or at least something to talk about with someone, I have no interest in blocking them. But your whole personality here seems to be devoted to “offending” people so interacting would be a bit of a waste of energy. Just like it would be in real life

Sorry if you have a problem with me wanting to avoid rape apologists, people who snapshot my profile picture like it’s some kind of own, people who call me fat or stupid, etc. Actually, I’m really not sorry. Everyone has a right to protect their peace

Start with quilting. Simple stuff. That’s how I really learned about my sewing machine and it’s more forgiving than mending and resizing clothing.

Sometimes I lay awake at night and think about how, comparatively, Watergate seems like a normal Wednesday afternoon by today’s standards.
