Different pronunciations of my name, ranked:

Lee-ah = objectively correct, what my parents intended

Lee = fun, fresh, slightly gender neutral

Lay-ah = I’m going to hunt you for sport & if you call the cops, they won’t know who you’re talking about bc you say it so wrong

Good post. Time to close this app and return to the sea. Farewell

It’s good when a month starts on a Monday, but it’s even better when the second day is a Tuesday cause that makes it Twosday

What’s even going on anymore

A screenshot from a Google Doc. The phrase “Daniella’s a pro” has a red line beneath it. The suggested correction is “Daniella ‘sa” which is gibberish.

I saw many incredible outfits during Victoria Pride but this is the one I chose to document

The efforts of influencers are wasted on me. Strangers have no sway over me. My loved ones who know my exact taste can’t convince me to watch a new tv show I’d probably enjoy. Jessica TikTokDance is utterly powerless here

I’m still not over the irony of a bunch of billionaires flying private planes to a wedding held in a city that’s slipping into the ocean in part due to global warming

And if I walk into the glass window of your establishment you should take it as a compliment to your cleaning skills

Hottest thing a prospective romantic interest can do is not complain about my glacial response time

Not everyone who’s blonde is evil. That being said, some people are evil because they are blonde

Found the source of their squawking at 1:30am last night when I came to the aid of a stuck raccoon that, once freed, immediately made her way up into the crows’ tree. The housing crisis really is impacting everyone 😔

Me: ahh, it’s so nice to be home after an overstimulating day. I can’t wait for peace and quiet

The crows outside my apartment: ladies and gentlemen, we’re proud to present our brand new opera, a chorus of corvids:

I don’t mind when strangers hit on me in public cause I get to try out new characters. No, Adrian isn’t single. Well, technically she is, but she married a ghost in a Las Vegas hotel on spring break in 2017, so she considers herself spoken for

In high school I’d steal a copy of every book we read in English class that I enjoyed. I’m the conservative taxpayer’s worst nightmare

So real… the emotional energy alone is such a drain

Spending all my time writing has ruined my social skills. Ppl ask hey what’s new with you?? And I’m like well, I’m really into tornadoes and deer metaphors right now

Me: the cure for my maladies is to watch a baby horse learn to run in a field.

My pharmacist: we, uh, can’t fill that here. Anyway, here’s your Prozac

God forbid a white girl gets a little freaky with it

I was mucking around beneath an overpass filming some stuff and this old man stopped and looked down in alarm and was like are you alright??

Anyway if you’re not concerning the elderly you’re not really living your life 👍🏻

Trying to recommend a film to my friends: so it’s non linear and pretentious as hell and objectively anti feminist. All that said, it has a certain je ne sais quoi 🤷‍♀️

I did a task I’d been putting off for years (!!!) today. It took ~1 hour. Many such cases
