It happened. I encountered a flattened field mouse in my guinea pigs box of hay. 😖 the guinea pigs though, were unbothered and are munching on said hay as we speak.

If they told me sooner, I could've saved the swimming gear purchase for next month. Oh well. These goggles better be really nice.

Apparently, my bank account has been overdrafted for nearly a week, and my bank didn't send me a notification until today. 😬 (I missed 2 weeks of work in September, post-surgery)

You ever encounter intense grief for your past self? Found some reminders and feeling sorry for that version of me, who so badly wanted to be who other people wanted. It's a strange sensation.

Not to mention working at a public university means being underpaid and never given a promotion because then they'd have to pay to fill your previous position 🫠

For a non-UK country, we assign way too much Shakespeare. (There are more interesting contemporaries we could choose from)

Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

I do not understand the infant photo-shoots where the baby is cocooned tightly, except for the head. It reads to me as parents holding an object and not a human?

P.S. If you followed me for pottery, I'm so sorry, I've been out of the studio since surgery but I'll be back at it as soon as my new tools arrive (Bailey is having shipping delays)

I sprouted some chia seeds for my guinea pigs. Offered them some now, and these were the results:

Buttercup - Ooh! Food! Takes one nibble, makes a face, begs for other food.

Bubbles: Yum yum yum gimme that broccoli scented spaghetti

Blossom: ...what is this? How dare you put this in my bowl

You ever look at the Top 100 Birders in your area on eBird and think, "ok, wait, there's no way they saw that species here"?

Paging @lindsaynicolle.bsky.social, don't worry I danced my heart out on your behalf.

Petey was just as amazing live as expected, only wish I didn't have to work today after headbanging all night 🤘🏻

A concert stage lit by blue spotlights. A thin white man with a dark beard and long hair, in jeans and a torn t-shirt wears a baseball hat and guitar while singing into a microphone, his eyes closed in reverie.

I am now in a room full of people who would get this reference.

In honor of going to see Petey USA tonight, here is my boyfriends reaction to the song Don't Tell The Boys:

"Nooo you SHOULD tell the boys! They sound great! I'm sure they'd love to support you!"

When I finished grad school, I had to make a spreadsheet for this, with columns like "sidewalk quality," "curb cuts," and "proximity to resources" 😬

The thing is "i just want to able to walk to my daily needs" doesn't require manhattan yet is maddeningly out of reach for most Americans

we need a word for a type of person who spends all their time working to live in a city so they can be near cool things, but they don't actually like going out

Bekah Rhea @revbeks.bsky.social · 24d

I considered Cincinnati for this reason, (and bc I know there's a vibrant arts community there!) but the roads are built in such a way I wasn't sure I could pull off car-free living there

I'm gonna die drowning in my student loans because the government can't agree on what payment plan I should be on 🫠 Haven't been able to even start payments and I haven't been a student for almost 6 years 🥲

There are so many books I want to listen to, but I know for the sake of research for my future book, I'm gonna need a print copy 😅

I was ready to guest on a podcast, but apparently not ready to hear my own voice on a podcast, and now I'm teary-eyed because it's the first time I've listened to recordings of my own voice and not hated it

If I bookmark your post, there's a good chance that's because it contains something I want to read or paint later, I promise I'm not creepy, just bad at remembering where I saw that thing, that time, on the internet 😬

Bekah Rhea @revbeks.bsky.social · Sep 30

Not quite on topic, but adjacent, Western Attitudes Toward Death by Philippe Aries has some material on this. It is older, though.

Bekah Rhea @revbeks.bsky.social · Sep 25

Instagram keeps showing me content that is just...not real? Staged, satirical, rage bait...does anyone post real things anymore? I don't understand.

For a while I was worried my memory of both of these was some kind of Mandela effect, and had to review the company history of Powerbar to make sure.

Bekah Rhea @revbeks.bsky.social · Sep 25

Sometimes I get nostalgic for the old school PowerBars. The sticky, stretchy ones that were almost like protein taffy that I would get from my dad if I went with him to the gym. I'd also get a few sips of his Sobe. (Not the Lifewater, but the glass bottles with the gecko on it)
