You just peel off layers slowly, jackets to cardigans and so on, as it gets warmer and then too hot to bear.

Actual reasons I left Florida. There is a lot of hot left after Too Hot To Bear for me and not a lot of legal ways to wear that little clothing in public! Not that I would, because of aforementioned low self-esteem. BUT. Today is a cardigan day.

I feel this in my bones, KL.

I feel this way every summer!

Aw, guys. On the one hand, I’m glad I’m not alone! On the other hand, I am a hypocrite who thinks my beautiful friends should not also feel this way. We can do this, though. The warm weather will not keep us down! (Unless it’s down for a nap, in which case yes. Let’s all take a nap. I’ve done enough damage for one day.)

if I make it to Boston this summer can I punch this coworker in the tit?

You should probably not punch her in the tit. I understand the desire, but APPARENTLY assault is never the answer. Unless we can rope her into a game of hockey, in which case I have been told it’s actually encouraged. Sports are weird. (I OWE YOU AN EMAIL. I’M SORRY I’M THE WORST. I’LL DO THAT BEFORE I PASS OUT.)

Hugs. Sorry you have to deal with this shit. ❤️

*smish* Thanks. It’s honestly better than it was ten months ago, because I’ve just started disapproving vocally when she says ignorant and hurtful things, regardless of whether they offend me personally. They usually don’t offend me personally. I’m pretty hard to offend. It’s more about me refusing to put up with a world that kept the younger version of myself in hiding for so long. (Also, holy shit, I’ve almost been in Boston a year. I should start planning a party or something.)

Talk to HR! I had to do that last month myself. Over girl scout cookies. It was frustrating. But I was heard.

lostntrnslation replied to your post “In relation to that poem-”

If you ever get to the point--you know the one--you can report her to HR. You don't have to put up with this shit at work. And it's not OK for her to make you feel angry/sad/upset on the daily. No place for it in life, work or otherwise.

I am probably not going to talk to HR. Not because I don’t agree with you guys that I probably SHOULD, but because I’m a coward who doesn’t want to have to deal with the aftermath. And also because it’s not wanton and malicious, she’s just an ignorant asshole. I call her on her shit frequently and she tends to apologize. She apparently doesn’t LEARN, but it takes a long time to unlearn bigoted bullshit. I know. I’m still doing it and I’ve been living with the full acceptance of myself for like, ten years now. 

Honestly, most days I’m proud of myself for having become the sort of person who would speak up at all. It’s the kind of personal growth that gives me hope for my future. Heh.

love this

Thank you. It’s been a rough few days for my feelings, so I appreciate you saying so more than is probably appropriate. ❤

“Watching a video about art exhibits in New Orleans and thinking, I...”

I think you just wrote your next poem.

It's the start of a poem for sure. I just have to not lose the tail end of it before lunch. ♥

Can I help you at all? If you need someone to listen, I’m here, OK? You won’t be bothering me. I can send you my email addy if you’d like, just let me know. Sending you lots and lots of good and peaceful energy. *hugs*

I'm okay now, thank you. I went for a drive and distracted myself, at least enough that the overwhelming urge is gone. Thank you for the offer though, and I might end up invading your ask one day <3

Wow OK I looked mine up and that was horrifyingly accurate and overwhelming. D:

The Rumpus' horoscopes are always electrifyingly, dizzyingly accurate and terrifying in the most beautiful way. I think mainly because they spend less time trying to predict specific mood shifts and spend more time considering the human condition, which is why I like them so much. 

Especially that time when Beyonce dropped her secret album and every single sign ended with 'and listen to Beyonce of course.' Of course.

You’re not terrible at it by any means! Don’t sell yourself short, love. :)

Thank you. That's very nice of you. I might one day even get over my impatience and learn to draw things for real. It would certainly make tattoo ideas and comic scripts easier to work out on my own.
