when did you clean this last?

I’m going through a divorce along with enough other traumas: got served divorce papers in front of a school PTO zoom meeting, my dad passed away and I watched him actually pass away, hit by a semi truck that totaled my beautiful car, my husband retitled the car on HIS name to claim the insurance check and so on and so on and omg so much to dump into the tire fire already! And I’m handling it, but just barely. He is pushing all my limits. I do not appreciate that. And he has a married girlfriend out in the open. It’s messy and not my scene. But he’s feeling himself these days, so good for him! Cool guy, rad dad #1, using Rogaine, seggc as hell. Buttons close to popping off his shirt 👕 too much! But omg everything is so close in sequence that you wonder if life will ever be joyful again? And what the hell is this nonsense going on right now? Am I a bad person? What’s going on right now? Seriously. I’m in heck. But just for a few minutes. I’ll make it out eventually and thrive. I have to. One day lol. So if you feel something or can relate to some aspect of the above: PURPLE THAI IS THE ANTIDOTE TO AN OVERWHELMING TIME OF UNCERTAINTY! Brought my joy back. I mean I still feel the same, I have a brighter, laidback, more uplifted attitude to problem solving. And that allows me to enjoy fun time with my homies. Two puffs is all it takes. This is a special strain. Therapeutic first, then fun is right on it way too! And doesn’t make you sleepy but you also don’t feel like you’re running around all day. You can do either or on Purple Thai. ✨💜✨Purple Thai ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a magical strain and I hope to find more of it asap. It’s top tier, medicinally. Hoard up whatever you find in Purple Thai. That’s what I’d do if I could find any near me. And I’m a Dr. so get to it! Be joyful! Make good things happen!

world party - ship of fools

daryl hall + john oates - you make my dreams

almost nothing makes me happier than hearing this absolute bop.

CURRENTLY SOBBING. OK SOO, RIPLEY IS GAY?!!

Also I read that there are deleted scenes of Ripley and Lambert arguing and being more overtly in a relationship. Ever since I learned that it's been my favorite ship.

I used to work at a TV station in Ohio. On weekends, we only had an 11pm news broadcast. Not much happened on weekends, ya know? I worked Monday-Friday 9-5, but someone on the weekend shift quit, so I also had to come in at 9pm on Sat/Sun to work the 11pm news. It was brutal. I worked seven days a week, even if two of them were ~3hrs.

This was a particularly bad winter. One Saturday, we had a level 2 snow emergency: That means you should only travel if you absolutely must. Like, it's not uncommon for cops to pull you over in level 2 emergencies to ask where you're going and why. It is genuinely dangerous to drive in that much snow.

I told my boss as much, how I almost crashed on the way home at 12:30am after a news broadcast. I told him I would need to call off if there were a snow emergency again during a night snow.

He told me, point blank, "If you ever call me about the goddamn snow, I will take it as a call of resignation."

And that was that! The very next Saturday, snow fell again. It was a level 2, but would become level 3 by sunup. Level 3 means driving is literally illegal except for ambulances and snow plows. I stared out the window, watching the snow, and I had to make a choice.

"Will I die for this? Will I kill myself to keep this job?" I made $11/hr.
