me talking about dating at work turned into my irritating coworker talking about the “kinds of people she doesn’t like” and she absolutely just meant a “certain kind” of lesbian which is sooooo not a hot take and makes me want to act out of spite in such a crazy way I need to get dykier neeeeoow. not to mention the subset of people she doesn’t like are pretty specifically who I am into. whatever girl whatever you feel I have a stronger and opposite reaction. Doesn’t mean that I’m not completely irritated at work

stayed up way too late BUT figured out what was up with my loom!!!! This doesn’t mean anything to anyone BUT the issue was that I didn’t realize that it was a table loom that was converted!! My issue was that I was stepping on the treadles and the frames/harnesses would click and lock into place, when I wanted them to fall when I took my foot off the treadle. I realized they were spring loaded and looked at a million manuals but no one ever mentioned the spring?? I unscrewed the spring from the frames, it worked on all except for one. Something about that one frame allows it to extend so far that it clips onto the locking mechanism but the others don’t….i think it’s an age/wear thing. I was able to tie the locking mechanism out of the way now that it’s not also being held in tension by the spring and voila!!! All my harnesses are rising and falling as they should.

I love working with old machines!! I couldn’t exactly date my loom because it was before they were using serial numbers, (🤯) but earliest it is from 1947 and latest is 1963, which is much older than I realized!! There’s a new weaving studio in the building so I stopped in to scope it out and was talking to the owner (so nice!) and showed her a picture and she honestly kind of freaked me out bc she was like “oh, that’s really old. That’s really, really old” but I am no stranger to (expensive) old mechanics thanks to printing, and part of the joy of printing for me is working with the old machines and figuring out what’s wrong with them. It is just incredibly satisfying to meeeeeeee!!

not to post drunkenly last night and then air out my indignities today, but I worked a shift at Not The Building But The Other Building and in getting there and setting up some furniture I completely sweat through the back of my pants. Sweaty girl for summer always. in the same way it was for when I totally bled thru my pants on a shift my approach is, because it has to be, my body is doing something that bodies do, it is your problem for looking

also I was trying to convey to work bestie how everyone on hinge is a complete normie and I need someone a little more freaked out but she wasn’t getting it until I let her swipe thru for me and was like “omg. I think you’d have to do a lot of explaining to these sorority sisters” and I felt completely validated lol

My brother is depressed and doesn’t like his job 1 year post college and my parents are babying him insanelyyyyyy like. Just. find a therapist. apply for jobs. you work from home three days a week and make 160k. I’m glad they’re supporting him in ways tbeyve never been able to or have cared to support me. But it’s so fucking crazy to watch. You just take the cards you’re dealt and deal with them I really don’t get this huge crash out.
