being a believer in ETs is so annoying because sooooo many of the other believers are alt right conspiracy nuts. like i don’t believe in them in the ”fallen angels of the end times” way, just the normal “bringers or love, light, and oneness” kind of way. in the “empathy will save us all” way ya know

interesting how leonardo dicaprio showed up to award show season this year with some fresh work done on his face, looking better than he has in decades, and suddenly the internet discourse around him has taken a 180 in his favor. he was an overrated creepy predator a few months ago but now his head doesn’t look like a bloated waterlogged corpse anymore so everyone’s spinning excuses about how actually he was secretly gay this whole time and all his young girlfriends were in on the ruse 🙄

my dating app pet peeve is when someone uses a prompt to state that they’re funny/will make you laugh. real funny people don’t have to tell you they’re funny. they just make you laugh.

a lot of men think they’re funny but actually they’re just chronically online and have a lot of memes memorized but in fact they couldn’t muster an original thought if their life depended on it.

one time a guy told me that he thinks about me every time he’s drunk and at the time i was like aww that’s cute but upon reflection im realizing that almost every guy that has expressed an interest in me has had to be drunk while doing so and now im starting to wonder if im like a “hear me out” kind of person that requires a couple drinks see the vision

sure hilary duff’s new album has a couple cringy millennially lyrics (life is lifing and pressure is pressuring?) but i used to be a diehard swiftie, im not scared of a lil cringe. and she’s sandwiching the cringe between some real and heavy musings on grief and insecurity. it’s the nostalgic hilary duff sound we all fell in love with two decades ago telling a much more grown up story about the hardships of love, life, and loss in your 30s. it has so many good catchy pop moments in songs like Weather for Tennis and Roommates, and so many moments that lodged a lump in my throat like We Don’t Talk and The Optimist. as a certified pop music stan, i don’t often get a lot of pop music across my desk about familial pain. in a genre that is over saturated with songs about crushes, first loves, and situationships, hilary wrote lyrics for when you don’t talk to your sister anymore or when your father doesn’t really love you. the songs that are about romantic love catapulted me back to my life before divorce and the self doubt and slow devastation of watching a once exciting connection dissolve with time. she made this album with her husband, which i have mixed feelings about because on one hand, that collaborative partnership made her comfortable enough to give us such raw and vulnerable music. on the other hand, he handled the production which i feel left something to be desired. he also embarrassed her in an interview earlier this month, where he said that her fear of him leaving her for a younger/hotter woman were totally valid, in front of her face, which i thought was v lame of him (and explained the pre divorce feeling i got from her songs about romantic love). AND he looks like a twerp but now im just cyber bullying.

anyway i hope she’s really proud of this album and knows how impactful and loved she is.

ACEOs are having a real moment on tiktok right now and as a miniature enthusiast, i’m obsessed with everyone’s tiny business card sized art works. but it also hurts to see them selling pieces that clearly took hours (plural!) to complete for less than $10. and the stricter ACEOers out there insist they can’t be reproduced as prints lest they lose that “one of a kind” value. except they’re not selling at “one of a kind” valued prices. anyway, it’s a rly cute concept as long as you don’t expect to make money off of it.

i turned 31 today. which means next year i’m turning 32, aka my Lorelai Gilmore s1e1 age. which means i’m still just in my lore building era and The Story doesn’t even actually get started until next year. how exciting to be at the very beginning of It All.

just applied for my construction certification at my local community college 🥰👷‍♀️🛠️

at the very least, i want to know how to work on my own house. but alsooooo, whispers of another wave of layoffs are in the air at my job and i want a backup plan that isn’t so easily replaced by ai, should my time come.

also also, there’s a major lack of women in trades. in the past week, i’ve had to hire a contractor, pest control, and plumbing work, and there were exactly zero women run options in my city. which is crazy bc women are so much better at everything than men.

on that note, i know i said i was going to start pursuing art professionally earlier this year. and ive been having sm fun making a tonnn of art all year. but the second i start thinking about depending on it for financial survival, all of the joy wooshes out of it and it makes me feel sick to my stomach. when i approach it strictly from a place of curiosity and play, its such a powerful tool to learn about myself and work out my emotions. and im not saying ill never sell it. but i’ve realized i cant put myself in the position of becoming financially dependent on it. it’s too important to me to taint it with capitalism. i have to be able to create authentically from my heart with no consideration for the marketability of the end product. not to mention that ai has also severely damaged that market anyway.

you have to admit it’s kind of crazy that i, a beautiful young lady, have to take the trash bins out to the curb every week
