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

I am trying to get better at complimenting friends in ways that aren't "but you're such a good friend to me let me list the services you perform for me"

I have no issue calling myself materialistic because I generally don't indulge in the worst parts of it - I don't buy tons of fast fashion, I don't obsess over brands

I thrift a lot and have managed to live most of my life without ever having to throw very much away, so I still have things I bought or was given in like... middle school.

anyway, I routinely go through and look at all my clothes (like 1x a month) and make myself tell a story about when I'd wear them ("to a job interview" "on a day when it was mid-50s and overcast" "to the gym" "to a square dance"). So the fact that I still have mountains of clothes is more or less me doing the marie kondo method but not being a minimalist.

I don't even feel overwhelmed, especially not since I started lining my outfits for the week up ahead of time.

given how much kon-mari is cited in minimalist communities, I'm actually pretty pleased how well her methods work for dragon-minded people like me (that is, materialistic people)

I LIKE cozy cluttered spaces, I just also like clutter to avoid surfaces and have like... places it belongs to.

I like piles of blankets and a throw pillow or two and overcrowded bookshelves, I like my piles of clothes, I just also like that I keep them put away in one room.

MARIE KONDO YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

Bus driver: "you can't get on the bus unless you give me a smile"

He fucking waited in his car for me outside Walgreens

Hiding in a Walgreens cause someone turned their car around in a 4 lane highway to cat call me

Wtf people

Have a cold cause I'm on prednisone cause I fucked up.

Am in the dentist's office for a cleaning

And then later I'm getting my face waxed.

Hence ouch.

The face of someone with a cold who's in for a painful self- maintenance day. (Selfie, eye contact)

I'm enjoying life a lot right now

things kinda feel richer/more saturated in a weird way
