Many of my posts are unsolicited advice.

Know that most of those posts are advice that I'm actively working on taking right that second.

If i don't follow back, it's probably because you haven't interacted enough with me or my friends and/ or don't have enough public posts.

I'm down to make new friends but I'm trying to exercise reasonable judgement.

I'm a:
Computational scientist (PhD in Biology via Applied Math), doing the academia thing until I rage quit.

baker/dog owner/wannabe goth/poppunk nostalgist/(s)witch/comic nerd/crafter

Wantonly bisexual, terrible at romance, worse at monogamy, permanently angry at gender norms.

I like:
WoW/OW

brazilian jiu jitsu/muay thai/dance/lifting

there's new mindless self indulgence what kinda rock have I been living under

(do not judge this is my crunch time music you cannot take this from me)

"write a few paragraphs about why you deserve this job"

oh good, a chance to really embrace my imposter syndrome

so the people who work at the game store I frequent sat me down a little while ago to explain that we were actually friends it wasn't just a nerd parasocial thing

which makes me wonder if the people who work at the comic shop I used to frequent who still remember my name and write me pages long e-mails even though I moved away 18 months ago were maybe also my friends???

so lewdexchange.club never actually happened

anyone wanna send me lewd things to post anonymously?

only don't

I don't need to do more things right now

friend told me I need to lower my threshold for what kinda behavior results in me cutting people out forever

therapist told me I need to schedule more alone time

welp. these sentiments will definitely mix well with an all or nothing mentality.

little kids outside chasing the sticks random adults threw for dogs

I get really irritated at plant stores that sell pots without holes in the bottom. Like, do you WANT my plants to get root rot? (yes, because then I have to buy new plants).

At least with metal pots it's as easy to fix as using a hammer and nail to knock some holes in the bottom. With ceramic you need a drill and a masonry bit (which I don't have), and plastic just fractures...

non-dog people witnessing zoomies for the first time are hilarious

I keep getting an ad for CroFab and I blame y'all

Ordered a donut at my favorite donut place pre-therapy

"They're kinda small today, let me give you two"

😭

friends

i love you

I can't shake the feeling that my passwords now (the ones I don't generate) look a lot like the usernames I used ages ago

just random upper and lowercase letters with the occasional number and special character that probably meant something at some point but fuck me if I can remember what

I realized ages ago that dog toots are one of my anxiety symptoms

sorry not sorry

sitting with one foot on the couch and one foot hanging on down

feel something under hanging down foot

dog smoothly slides himself in until my foot's on his butt and gives me a smug look

Hedonism is sometimes good

Someone's gotta cuddle my dog

So far 3 of my players have written me paragraphs long epilogues for their characters and I am so proud/in love
