Spiraling about a work thing where a coworker is trying to convince my boss I should take on 5 people’s tasks cuz they are overwhelmed and fucking up. Is saying “we are in a house that’s on fire and instead of 5 people trying to put it out, you are suggesting one person try.” Professional? 😵‍💫

Yes everyone talking about their allergy symptoms does help me remember that this happens every year! I also have to remind myself it doesn’t actually matter which maybe I should just rest regardless?! Shocking I know 🫠

Allergies feel no different than a cold to me these days, I really hate the daily anxiety of not knowing if I’m getting sick or it’s just the usual allergies 🫠

I can’t keep interacting with people who have no idea what they’re talking about but act like they’re experts! I can’t! I know that’s like the literal state of the world right but I can’t do it anymore!

Ok forgot we could use the real stove lol, and thanks to the hand grinder I bought years ago I could still grind beans. And just when I sat down to drink my coffee the power came back lol

Power is out, which means no coffee unless I go dig the camp stove out 😖

A Canadian study of nearly 9,000 adults looked at repeat COVID infections. Researchers found that people who reported having COVID at least twice had 76% higher odds of being diagnosed with a new health condition, across 21 conditions studied, compared with those who reported never being infected.

everything i have learned about ed sheeren has been against my will, but man every time a neutral ass bitch tries to say they are apolitical, there is always an abundance of examples of them being very political 😵‍💫

taratearex 📚🌌 @taratearex.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

idk how to professionally say "he's crashing out" to my boss lol but i have sent a dozen emails to a coworker telling him he is not checking his work/sending duplicate work/wrong info and he just keeps going! go take a walk bro. stop sending emails man, the hole is too deep at this point

taratearex 📚🌌 @taratearex.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

it really sucks that so many remote job options went away because of the forced "covid is over" bs. i really wish my partner and i could find new jobs where we wouldn't have to mask all day if we are in an office/building, so the only real alternative is wfh at this point :(

A study using PET brain scans found people with Long COVID had significantly lower levels of VMAT2, a protein involved in dopamine signalling, compared with healthy people. Reductions of 16–20% were found in brain regions involved in motivation, movement, memory, planning and apathy.

AT&T Stadium reportedly is one of the venues that opposed Macklemore being on Ed Sheeran's bill. Worth noting that AT&T is hosting Kanye West in November.

A statistic that haunts me because it is 100% true and shocking and useless in advocacy precisely because it is true and shocking: Policy that enables a 1-car lifestyle rather than 2 is equivalent to giving a family a $25,000 annual pay raise.

this time it wasn't me this happened to, but it has happened to me and happens SO frequently! when it happened to me i think i said "i dont think he knows what he's doing" lol which was true but still don't CC him!

taratearex 📚🌌 @taratearex.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

my workplace will drive you to the brink and then when you finally lose it and send a coworker an email saying "WTF is he doing?!" that coworker will reply and CC the guy you're talking about and his boss. it's toxic all the way down

taratearex 📚🌌 @taratearex.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

haha that's me also. there are two types of LFL owners- the one's who want you to only take ONE book and the one's who are like please empty the entire thing that would be amazing lol

I can say one thing, I do know what a lot of words mean without asking chatgpt, but I do look up words that I very much KNOW on merriam webster out of fear I don't actually know, and would literally look it up in 5 dictionaries before telling someone confidently they were using a word wrong

020

taratearex 📚🌌 @taratearex.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

A coworker tried to correct my use of the word "ode" and then realized she was wrong after asking chatgpt and told me "it's probably because you read a lot more than me". Idk maybe??? Why do I know what any word means?! But then later I was reading a book and "ode" was on page 2 😂

FYI all the headlines are making it seem like there's a massive recall on all tofu nationwide but the actual issue is just one specific recipe from Hodo tofu, the chili crisp pre-fried one. just FYI.

It's one (1) one flavor from one (1) brand Looks like some ink MIGHT have gotten into the product during handling, so they're recalling just in case. Let's keep in mind the Taco Bell principle on this one guys. "If a company proactively lets you know there MIGHT be a problem… that's a GOOD thing."

Dolly Partons IMAGINATION LIBRARY

Dear Imagination Library Graduate,

My, how time flies. It seems it was only yesterday when your family and friends read you your first story. You were just a baby. Now you're five years old and about to go to school. How exciting!
This may be your last book from my Imagination Library but you have to promise me you will keep on reading. If you go to your local public library you will find a great number of books just for kids your age. Every book is a treasure and every time you open one up you will meet new friends and take wonderful journeys to magical places.
I hope you have a great time in school. I bet your school will even have a library where you can check out books. You and all of your friends are very special. There is no limit to what you can do or how far you can go.

Just remember the lessons my family taught me - dream big dreams; learn everything you can learn; and care for all those who care for you. You do all of these things and you can be anyone you want to be.

You are terrific, and remember...
I Will Always Love You,
Dolly
