I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday. Not in a “the week is flying by” way, but in a “it feels like I’m stuck in a never ending Monday” way.

First time I’ve touched tarot cards in like a year and a half or so and this is the pull I get. I did a single card pull earlier and ALSO got the two of wands reversed. I don’t really put stock in these things, but also sometimes it does feel like the universe is shouting at me.

Three cards from the Rider Waite tarot deck: the knight of wands reversed, the two of wands reversed, and the five of pentacles upright. It’s not a great pull.

Wasn’t trying to trick a friend into watching One Piece (the live action, since that’s more approachable with only 16 episodes), but I think I accidentally got her invested in this weird show

I watched almost all of Witch Hat Atelier on my phone at 2 or 3 in the mornings while holding Mishka who was in a sleep regression at that time. I need some recommendations for things that are similar, dubbed, and can be easily watched on my phone cuz it feels like we are entering a new regression

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

Heard A LOT of Dolly's music over the last day, and it got me thinking about my favorite interpretations of Jolene. Miley's is ACES. Bey's is alright. White Stripes is shockingly decent. But my absolute favorite? The day @gailsimone.bsky.social suggested that Jolene is actually a kaiju.

So the only reason I didn’t punch a student nurse last night was because I was holding my baby at the time. I told him what he was doing wrong and I don’t know if he was nervous or overwhelmed or just ignoring me. Doesn’t matter. It’s on sight. If I ever see him again, THAT will be my whole day.

Before I found out I was pregnant I was preparing to start the job hunt. Put that on pause because “baby”. Now I’ve been back for a few months and yeah, I think it’s time to start looking. Which sucks. This economy SUCKS. And I like the org I work for, just not this role in this chapter.

I'll specifically add my thoughts to this, so there's no confusion. Lindsey Graham was a terrible person who used his political power for evil. We should absolutely call that out. But don't be homophobic about it. We can criticize his hypocrisy without the punchline being, "Ha ha he was gay."

Meme of Batman angrily snapping a shotgun in half, sending splinters and shells flying. He says, "THIS is the weapon of the ENEMY. We do not NEED it. We will not USE it."

Watching someone else having to explain and re-explain again and again how/where to find our shared files is not giving me as much schadenfreude as I had imagined. It’s just making me realize how much I’ve been covering for my coworkers’ unwillingness to learn/adapt or just straight up incompetence.

The *private* area for pumping. To the left of that door is a conference room with 20+ strangers holding a meeting. And on the other side of the window my green bottle is infront of is the break room.

A picture of a small office meeting room a lap top and a green tumbler on the table. There are beige walls and beige blinds over the windows, however there are CLEARLY gaps where the blinds don’t cover the borders of the windows so people could EASILY look in and watch me while I’m pumping. Not saying they would, but JESUS.
