I counter with: zit just inside your nostril.
Eta: oh we were talking about type, not location. Carry on.

Fucking covid test instructions. This is like Ikea and AMD had a baby and that baby was a manual on how to do a medical test.
(no fears, pretty sure don’t have it, but I’m testing)

@IoleRae Do you have the ones where the C stripe is for Control and not COVID? Those are my favorite.

My package with my anxiety medication arrived early!
While I was out of town.
Naturally, someone stole it. Fuck package thieves.

I needed to say the word “transitioned” today but a circuit in my brain went down so the only word I could come up with was “transmuted.”

I wish to learn your alchemical ways all the same.

Trying to talk to someone about the messages in a piece of media that they insist don’t exist because the only thing in the media is what is literally said. Themes and metaphors don’t exist, just the literal text.

What are you talking about? Aslan is just a lion.

Yeah, and Korra and Asami were just friends holding hands.

Went in to the office yesterday physically. I love my work family VERY MUCH, but it takes anyone all of two seconds looking at my face to know I’m in hell right now, and trying to figure out how much people actually want to know when variations on the dreaded, “How are you?” comes up is like a field of landmines.
Even telling people the good stuff results in uncomfortable questions, and I’m at a point where my ‘fine’ or perky ‘doing good!’ isn’t fooling anybody. ‘Things are rough but I’m managing’ just prompts for details. It doesn’t help that my immediate team was very free with info initially (to ensure I got the space I need) so people like, know what to ask.
hate this. I hate wearing my heart on my sleeve and I hate having an expressive face and I hate being so easy to read. I just want everyone to be normal at me.

@IoleRae Ugh I’m sorry. I find that “Hangin’ in there!” can be a decent one to kind of communicate – “I’m not trying to pretend I’m 100%” but maybe doesn’t invite questions as much?

@IoleRae This is my usual go-to lately.

When someone asks me how I am in a situation where I can’t be honest and I want to discourage them from asking more, I usually answer, “It doesn’t matter.” That doesn’t sound like quite the vibe you’re going for, though.
