My #endometeriosis journey. A thread 🧵

Since I started puberty, my periods have been hell. Heavy, unpredictable, and PAINFUL. I’m talking cramps felt from my ribs to my knees. I was never allowed to miss school for my periods, no matter how poorly I felt. Just took ibuprofen and dealt with it. 1/?
I’m visiting my parents in Bluffton, SC, and tomorrow it’s going to be 77 and sunny. Coming from 30s and rainy Ohio I might cry

Jim is roasting a chicken in the oven for Christmas Eve dinner and it smells amazing. We’ve done the Open One Present on Christmas Eve tradition and I opened a gorgeous bottle of delicious Italian wine. He opened a MBMBAM Candlenights coffee mug. Life doesn’t suck right now ❤️

I would watch the fuuuuck out of this
Oscar Isaac needs to show up n the next Knives Out movie as a frenemy detective of Blanc's, where it is incredibly obvious the tension between the two men is the fallout of a very messy breakup.

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes.

I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

#Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival in honour of the god Saturn, beginning on December 17. It was a time of feasting, drinking, games, gift-giving, and role reversal.

Fuck this. I’m glad I’m leaving the university
It’s been fun while it lasted: “Purdue University will begin requiring that all of its undergraduate students demonstrate basic competency in artificial intelligence starting with freshmen who enter the university in 2026.”

NO NOT COOKIE MONSTER!!! 😭😭😭😭
