Lads, the only good thing about working at Whole Foods was that my coworkers thought I was in my mid-twenties. As a 38 year old woman, that was pretty sweet lmao. But I quickly realized I'm over retail work so W and I agreed that I should just hold off until my actual job starts in mid-July. I pulled from my 401k to just keep myself afloat until then; honestly I'll be fine.
The only problem with this is that I'm terrible at staying home. I'm purely an extrovert and interacting with others is pretty crucial to my mental health. Unfortunately, going outside often costs money (especially in this expensive ass city) so I'm holding off doing anything like that (yes, I do go for walks in parks and stuff, for sure, but that's more a nature thing than a socializing thing). It's tough, guys!
There are a couple of things this weekend I want to do and I'm hoping they both can work out. Folklife is happening this weekend and I'd love to hit it up on Saturday. On Sunday, our favorite local game store is having a little kitten popup event with one of the local shelters. I don't want to adopt a kitten but I sure would love to play with some. ;3;
Today was a pretty funky day for both of us so we took a little dog out for a nice walk and some coffee.
AND NOW IT'S THURSDAY. XD
H/T tomisbegotten: Fandom can do a little gatekeeping. As a treat. Man, does this truly sum up all the problems I've had with fandom in the past few years. Tourist is certainly not my favorite term; I'm mostly familiar with jerkass alt-right Warhammer 40k fans using it against anyone who is "White male sexless Space Marines" but other than that, I get all of this. The entitlement (which has always been there but seems to have ramped up), the commodification of fandom, the content farming...it's all so very frustrating. Fandom and the internet has changed so much and it's so frustrating and weh! And also, like, as a fanartist, it's like....art theft x20. It's fandom theft lmao. It just makes me real mad lol.
...anyways, I clearly had a lot of feelings about this! Maybe you will too. Who knows.
