Feminism. Anxiety. Kind of a writer. Possibly reentering hockey fandom?
Update: Our healthcare system still sucks, but my endodontist does not. She agreed to do nothing but put in for approval today, and then do two teeth in the same appointment when insurance deems me worthy. This was the compassionate choice, and I'm very grateful she made it.

Again, I know my tone is not bluesky's Tone of the Day. Sorry about it. I am a very obvious unfollow right now, so go with god.

Because primal screaming is frowned upon in endodontists' waiting rooms, all-caps incoming:

I AM EXPERIENCING IMMENSE PAIN AND SEVERE ANXIETY SO IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE ME ON TIME THEN AT LEAST DON'T HAVE IT BE BECAUSE YOU'RE GABBING WITH YOUR RECEPTIONISTS ABOUT THE GODDAMMNED SUPER BOWL!

I'm waiting for a root canal on a tooth that is not causing me excruciating pain. The one that is causing me excruciating pain? I'm going to have to wait at least 5 days for insurance to decide I deserve to get it treated. I am broken, and our healthcare system is unforgivably broken.

It's weird that they're both posting as if they don't live in puerto rico, where they both moved to avoid paying taxes

Otoh, that was Liam. Very much on US soil. IN THE SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW. That is spectacular.

Sorry. I know we're all being positive rn, but Mike Tyson body-shaming the nation? Fuck that.

The Challenger was a major pivot point for me in how I viewed the world. It seems almost quaint now, but it was a massive national trauma at the time. If your Gen X friends seem extra blue today, this might be why.

The thing about bluesky is I was going to post about how I'm low-grade depressed about my car being trapped under a mountain of snow, but instead I got hit with a wall of people arguing over what degree of abject hopelessness is acceptable when discussing the descent of the US into fascism.

If anyone just saw that ad and is thinking about checking out Whatnot, please contact me for a referral link and we'll both get free money out of it. Fwiw, that has become my primary social media-esque home over the past few months. Very fun, very addictive.

Ok, I'm watching football, because the world is ending so why the fuck not.

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the bad guy in a war against Germany.

I’m very inconsistent at actually being on this app but I had to pop in today solely to tag in @mgeschwind.bsky.social who surely has the same thought reading this caption that I did 👀😂

I swear every time I pop in here just to see what's shakin,' it turns out the entire world is shakin' toward oblivion and I was way happier before I checked in with Doomsday Central.

So disappointing about Gloria Gaynor.

Anyone want to help Lillian complete her degree? She only needs $250 more.
I'll do a deeper dive later, but I think Lilian is a good place to start: www.kiva.org/invitedby/_e...

Those of us who are not Jewish have to be more on our guard against antisemitism than ever right now, not just in the world but inside of our own hearts

No one is fully immune to the propaganda flooding social media from all directions or the rising hysteria of this moment

I have somehow become the nexus of communication for my family, and as a person with debilitating anxiety I am both very well and very poorly equipped to hold this position.
