Kvetch (verb): to complain, whine, or vent about a problem that may or may not ever be solved. I'll be hosting weekly Creators' Kvetching Circles starting in 2026; shoot me a message if you'd be interested in joining!

jokes to make after failure that aren’t self-deprecating:

I’m the best to ever do it

Nobody saw that (best if said loudly)

No one’s ever done it like me

I could be President/they should make me President

Behold, a mere fraction of my power!

The public wants to be me soooooo bad

I’m an expert in (thing you just failed at)

How could this have happened to god’s favorite princess?

Nothing ibuprofen and a glass of water cant fix

I’m being sabotaged
