Tonight it's a menu of comfort food (coconut beans with rice, cabbage, and five kinds of hot sauce)

Highlight of the night was someone randomly got my attention and after I was like "Hello, welcome, please just jump right in!" they turned to their friend and went "This is Anar, she's in charge."

Reader, I was so fucking not in charge I had to tailgate someone into the building because I wasn't even supposed to be in there.

My intellectually pretentious ex coworker is only reading Hugo and Nebula winners this year and seems to hate them all... Sister free yourself from the shackles of the awards of decades past and read some books you actually enjoy.

So let's get this straight, when you stop paying rent because you need the money for something else you get evicted, when Elon Musk does it it's "cutting costs."

PSA

Before you post anything where your prescription bottles are visible, check that the labels are turned away from the camera and/or blurred out.

What medications you take is not only a matter of your medical privacy, it's also information that can make you incredibly vulnerable. Labels can also include your full name, your address, your doctor's name, your pharmacy, your refill schedule, your dosage instructions – all information that random internet strangers should not have.

I was just reading a travel article on a major news website where the journalist had included a photo of her luggage that showed the entire label of her pill bottle. Furthermore, she took a medication that's almost exclusively prescribed for a specific mental health issue.

Obviously talking about diagnoses and treatment (including medications) is a standard part of disability activism and many people choose to do it, myself included. But if you do it should be at a time and place of your choosing, not accidentally and with a bunch of other sensitive information attached.

Every time I strap on my boot and take a deep breath to go to the bathroom this is how I'd prefer to be transported

Liking an animal is bonkers because 30% of people who also like the animal will send you a long angry message if you post a picture of the animal in a zoo or aquarium, and then 30% of people who also like the animal are cooing over photos of animals that are clearly being badly cared for in inappropriate enclosures.

I hate the uncertainty of this job, the fact that I'm really happy but afraid of sliding backwards. The fear of failure breathing down my neck as I realize a million times a day how alone and overworked and under-trained I was last time. How fucking resentful I feel thinking that maybe this is what work was always like for other people, how scared I feel asking for help because I can't believe it won't be tallied against me, how I go in every fucking day wondering what it is about my personality that I need to fix to make me someone worth expending effort on.

Can someone PLEASE explain why I'm literally right now wearing size 29 jeans but the size 32 jeans I just tried on won't even zip up

I was like great, when I brought men's jeans I was a 32/30, these are a women's 32/30 they'll fit great, I don't even need to worry about the fitting room being closed and then they did NOT fit!

(The jeans I'm wearing are a women's 29 so... Literally what).

Apparently it's good I was out sick because I'm the only person who works on Sundays and would have walked into the office and discovered it had flooded yesterday from a burst pipe during the cold snap.

Thankfully nothing was damaged since I have a ton of work stuff (TM) under and around my desk, but the break room is unusable.

Can science explain why out of the three new bras I bought, one is comfortable and the other two feel like wearing an iron maiden?

Apparently what this week's lunches needed was about half a tbsp of harissa.
