What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I haven't been kissed in almost 5 years. I haven't gone on a real date since last year. I fear I may be heading towards a spinster life bc it's hard to go out in the real world during the school year & dating apps are The Worst.

But at least I'm wearing plaid?

Happy #InternationalLesbianDay to me?

And I bet all those armed, masked goons go to church on Sunday, too.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

In the decade I've lived here, this is still one of my favorite hikes.

October 'round the lake is unmatched.

A smooth-surfaced lake, surrounded by line trees and oak trees changing yellow and orange. The sky is bright blue and cloudless.

"well I don't want to start unless the author doesn't finish!!" WELL what if the reason they don't finish is because nobody was reading and interacting with it??????

Sometimes, you just gotta blast Fleetwood Mac in the car on the drive to work and then just hope for the best.

I've tried the dating thing. A lot. It either falls mutually flat, or I get ghosted. Nothing's lasted more than a few weeks.

Sometimes I think I had one shot, but the universe fucked it up and so I guess this is just my life for the rest of time.

Leah 👩🏼‍🏫🏳️‍🌈 @teachearp.bsky.social · 7d

I had a wonderful day learning with my colleagues, I got a good workout w/ my gym buddies, I know I have a fantastic community of folks in various parts of the world...

And yet there remains a dread of coming home to an empty house that, even on good days, still feels really, really heavy.
