I mean, you can see some framed saints prints and my pole for dancing in my background because my apartment is so small and I don’t have an office space. We couldn’t use backgrounds or background effects until recently, so I’ve just outright refused to use my camera.

I remember all the pictures of Harry chatting with family at his grandfather’s funeral, and I could see someone fondly recalling that he called Liz “lilibet” and Harry casually asking his GRANDMOTHER if he could name his soon-to-arrive child that. I feel like all these palace hangers on all think these things should…

I had an awful experience a few weeks ago involving a supervisor and am at a loss with what to do. I don’t know if it’s this bad yet but I’m so frustrated that I’ve considered quitting. 

The informal setting makes people feel embolden to say whatever the fuck they want. My work has devolved into a hostile pit of resentment against our headquarters in DC. I’ve experienced far more microaggressions being disabled over telework than I have in office. I literally cannot wait for telework to be over so…

I unfollowed Chrissy and her food page on Instagram after the bullying thing came out (long time coming, I was always a little uncomfortable with how much exposure she gave her kids). Is she even active anymore? Wasn’t she dropped from some brands too?

My mom always raves about how it was the most beautiful gown ever and the epitome of fashion for the 80s, and I always feel like every time I see a picture of Diana in it, she looks like a tiny woman absolutely drowning in dress. 

Oh was the date for that finally set? I heard the Qidiots saying there would be another inauguration so he would be reinstated but never heard a date. 

A little bit of photoshop and a little bit how she’s standing. She and all her sisters all stand with a slight rotation in their hips with their legs apart, and then the picture is photoshopped. I have big ole thighs, but can give myself a little bit of a thigh gap if I stand that way. It’s uncomfortable and…

I do pole dancing, and see bottoms fit like that all the time on my pole Instagram and around my dance studio. I’ve only seen the occasional wardrobe malfunction resulting from the fit, even moving about on pole. I favor the high leg cut (fits my hips really well), but tend to go for more crotch and butt coverage in…

I mean, I have a developmental disability and the R word was thrown around a lot when I was diagnosed as a kid, but I didn’t storm the capital and threaten lawmakers, so perhaps these people are just assholes. 

Aw I hope you find something soon! I’m hoping that things will improve in my office once we come off telework. I find it’s much easier to assert boundaries and manage my time in person than in a telework environment. 

My boss works long hours too, but it honestly makes me lose more respect for her for not modeling good boundaries to her staff. No one wins in the long run for giving their lives to their jobs and neglecting their personal lives.

Normally, I push back on the “work family” rhetoric pretty aggressively, even in interviews (I would rather them not hire me because I don’t want to play those games). I’m pinning this error in judgment on interviewing and being on boarded during a pandemic and desperately wanting to fit in to the work culture while I…

It’s a government agency field office. She just runs her office like it’s a sorority.

Every time she mentions it, I want to remind her that my momma can’t fire me from being her daughter (and I promise there are days that she would). 

As soon as I saw this I mumbled to myself “but her emails...” 

I was hired into a new job during the pandemic and can definitely say I’ve adjusted poorly to the new work culture (my boss is very adamant that work be a “family” and I respectfully disagree lol). I’m a stickler for boundaries, take my breaks and my lunch and log out after my 8 hrs and am no longer available. During…

I’ve always kinda thought that Chrissy is a troll, but we laugh at her and give her a pass because she trolls people who people with her similar politics consider “deserving” of it. I’m always a bit distant with people who can be that absolutely mean to people, even if it’s to people I think deserve it, because I know…

I love whiskey sours so much but I’m not making them with my top shelf whiskey. Good whiskey, yes, but not my “sip in the bathtub while I watch outlander” whiskey. 

At the beginning of the pandemic, I mentioned amongst a friend group (where I am one of the few childless members) that I found the wine mom culture and memes super disturbing. I grew up in a household ravaged by addiction that extended back several generations, and it feels very much so like choosing to laugh at an…
