Despite all the doom and gloom about the environment, I live in of the environmentally worst states I'm the US of A and we've actually been seeing a lot of species make a comeback. I've seen a lot more natural wildlife this year. The bugs I find and birds I've seen are becoming more diverse, and as usual the cicadas and lightning bugs have been plentiful. We've even had confirmed bobcat sightings. I've seen lots of bats this year too.

I need to spend less time online because I'm back to hating everyone again

I'm so annoyed rn. And yes you are getting a play by play

Like three nights ago, I think. I have a horrible concept of time. I had a horrific flashback. We're talking could physically feel it kind of flashback. Which hasn't happened in two years. And mind you I'm trying to get myself out of this flashback. So I get up and go get some water. Crawl back in bed. Immediately restarts. In a fit of annoyance I throw all of my bedding onto the floor then slept on the floor for like an hour. Which my back did not like. But by that point I'm completely out of the flashback so I move back to my bed. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep for like five minutes before having a full blown panic attack. Plus I was slightly nauseous so despite me thinking I'm gonna die from heart palpitations I go to the kitchen, drink some water, and eat a few pretzels. But then I get super nauseous. Tried to drink water but felt like I was gonna throw up. With my bipolar meds I can't take much other medication, so I decided to make some tea to calm my stomach. Which did help. I get back to bed, and I'm out HARD. Wake up the next morning and outside of being tired I felt perfectly fine. Which I had chocked up to typically I don't handle those episodes well, and I had handled it well for once

WELL THAT DIDN'T LAST

I have been in a mild state of panic for the past two days and I'm so over it. Like nothing I can't handle. It's mostly just periodically a sense of fear and heart palpitations that if I walk helps calm those down. But it's been a while since any of this happened so I'm extra annoyed

Now that I'm pretty sure a former co-worker of mine from this summer doesn't have Tumblr

She had absolutely ZERO filter about her sex life. Like I'm pretty sure the reason she hadn't divorced her husband yet was because in her words, "I can ignore him getting jail time occasionally because he's real good at sex." I DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW THAT

And then she would read smut at work. Given it was a store that didn't get a lot of business so most of us would read. But she went overboard. It would be busy and she's there reading smut. And if she didn't get a certain amount of smut reading in she'd get real pissed at the world. THAT'S A PORN ADDICTION AT THAT POINT

Listen, I have no problems with people reading smut. Hell, I enjoy reading smut occasionally (it does get incredibly boring after a bit tho) but something like that, that's a porn addiction. Just because it's in a book doesn't mean it's not porn and that you can't get addicted to it

But I didn't need to know about her sex life and porn addiction. If anything it just made me wildly uncomfortable! Especially as a lesbian while she's talking about dicks which I would rather not think about. Those are disgusting. Never in a million years would I want one in me. So why would I want to hear about it at WORK where I can't just scroll past

The owner of a local restaurant who moved up from Philly to start it, who is Italian-American, was on Facebook complaining about all the racist jokes people make here. Yeah, you and everyone else who isn't German or Swedish. I've gotten asked if I'm a Russian spy. And I've only got two great grandparents from Slovakia. I'm not even that Slovak-American. Still get picked on tho. Not anything unique people here are just like that

My whole three weeks of retail customer service this summer, a lady said my eyes are gorgeous, and I'm still riding that high

i don't know what older adults were on about when they said being a teenager was good <3

I think something that needs to become a trope is characters in positions of political power having to leave in the middle of meetings due to very normal life things. Like *walks away to take phone call. Comes back* "Hey, yeah, I gotta go. My kid just threw up and I have to go pick them up from daycare."

I feel like that adds a level of depth and realism to those kinds of characters

They NEED to make gold alt jewelry. Because I love the alt-rock style. Hate silver. It also looks horrible on me. To the point I wore silver once and everyone told me to not do that again because of just how much it washes me out. I may be super pale but I'm a warm-toned pale. And I hate silver

Imma complain about teacher wages. Like pre-k is the bottom of the barrel. The head teacher makes $35,000 a year salary. I make $25,000-$30,000 hourly. My two aunts who are teachers both make $80,000 a year. One highschool one elementary. Like jeez that's a crap ton of money. And we have to physically wrangle kids all day and don't get paid shit

Got a lot of work done setting up the classroom today, and I've been out in charge of picking out and caring for the plants! A bunch of my family members have donated plants and I'm also building a terrarium
