I've been super lucky overall, but getting asked "when are you due?" when I was NOT pregnant was fun If dentists count: my childhood dentist implying his Latina patients were sluts, unlike sweet innocent white me

They have been jackhammering outside my apartment for 3 straight days with such fervor that at this point I can only assume they are digging to China, and I look forward to spelunking down to Beijing for some jianbing and chuanr

Was at a boutique cocktail bar and they started playing episodes of Bluey on the wall with a projector, and maybe it was the strong drinks, but we were kinda enthralled ngl

Sprinkling hints of my true self in the Teams chat with my new coworkers like a raptor testing the fences

I love when these police scanner reports contain a complete narrative arc

Lockdown in Hellworld was a very validating read for me. Proof that, yeah, that shit really happened, we all went through that. You wouldn't think you'd need the reminder of what it felt like at the time, but it does help. That shit sucked. Good book though.

Leftover boortsog for breakfast, living the dream

My neighbor through the wall has spent the past hour SCREAMING at someone on the phone in Spanish, and I just heard her call up someone else, switch to English, and say very calmly "riding a jet ski on the open ocean is crazy." Girl, what went down, tell me EVERYTHING.

Ariana Grande is giving me flashbacks to watching Amy Winehouse deteriorate in front of our eyes. I hope she has a happier ending.

I've had this painting, a Koryo Studios collab with Pyongyang artists, in every office I've ever worked in because it delights me so much. Now that my new job is fully remote, I wish I could get a real print so I could hang it up in my apartment! Anyway, enjoy! koryostudio.com/blog/office-...

I feel like this alert would benefit from more specificity

I will sell my completely human-written debut that my lovely agent has actually read (honestly like 8 times at this point) for only SIX figures, let's get that bidding war started!

If I had ludicrous wealth, I would have a desk and desk chair made custom to actually fit my body (short)

Extremely rare, perhaps unprecedented, LinkedIn win

6 seasons and a movie for the Kyrgyz Epic of Manas, let's fuckin go

Referenced "my fiancé" with new coworkers, and they defaulted to they/them pronouns to refer to him. I remain stealth cishet, nobody tell 🤫

omg a novella about housing in Somerville???? 👀

I had some fresh mozzarella in Florence, Italy, that made me see God

I have written almost 7000 words this week (which is a ton for me, because I'm slow and I'm pantsing the last quarter of this book). Great way to end a 11 months of unemployment, because tomorrow I start a new full-time job!!

I think after the third fucked-up island in a row I would have kept my ass on the boat #theOdyssey
