I work too much and read a lot.
I got a photo of a hand written note from the child whose wish I granted 😭😭😭
I have been looking at Black Friday sales for a week but I do not actually need anything so instead I closed all those tabs and bought a Polaroid for a foster kid in Florida who uses photography to deal with big feelings. Perhaps you would like to do the same for one of the kids at the link below?
🧵 We are, in fact, doing the thing again for @onesimplewish.bsky.social. In 2024, the kind people of this community put the money cannon on blast to help grant $75K in wishes for children in foster care. Toys, tech, a suit for job interviews. Here we go again! 👇

I went to the office so someone in leadership would be there if anything happened but all that happened was I told everyone to go home and now I’m in my pajamas.

I planned to go look for a new coat today, but getting dressed and leaving the house seems like a lot of work now.

My mother did not go to this game because I was born 8 days before. She still brings it up.
Today in 1978, on Monday Night Football, 70,000 Oilers fans at the Astrodome get blue and white pompoms, waving them to victory, behind Earl Campbell's 199 rushing yards, 4 touchdowns, and a career defining 81-yard run.

Thanks for saying this because I absolutely hate its use.
I’ve had this discussion elsewhere but I really loathe the use of “battered aggie syndrome” given what it is referencing and what it makes light of.
We are creative people, we don’t need to keep using terminology that downplays actual abusive relationships.

This week has been extremely stressful and people-y so I will be working from home tomorrow. I don’t have any meetings, thankfully, so I shouldn’t have to speak to a single person. If I go in, I will likely lose my mind if one more person comes into my office with a problem.
