I went into the office yesterday for the first time since burnout started, at the direction of my boss. Only 3 hours, but add on 90 min there and back on public transport. Today I couldn't get out of bed. Send soft comfy vibes, please. I could use a hug, and maybe 12 more hours of sleep.

I feel angry today. Maybe it's my hormones... ...maybe it's the fact that patriarchy-reinforcing institutionalized colonialist systems of organized religion have infested the western world and rotted away the core tenets of caring for others beyond "saving them". You know, just girly thoughts ✨

This is the coolest business initiative I've seen in US news in recent history. I pledged to help rescue and restructure this major budget airline, to transform it into a company by the people, for the people! Let's go 💪 letsbuyspiritair.com

Spirit 2.0 — The Airline Owned by the People, for the People

Spirit Airlines collapsed. Before private equity locks it up, the people can own it. Join the Spirit 2.0 founding coalition. One member, one vote. Profits shared by all.

Purrr-lease keep my baby girl in your thoughts. I made a vet appointment for her for Tuesday because she's been acting a bit "off" lately. Not enough to warrant an emergency visit, but enough to strike fear for the future into my soul. I am not ok 😭

What. A. Weekend. SpellenSpektakel saw at least 16,000 board and card game enthusiasts on Saturday alone! I volunteered both days to teach people how to play Lorcana at the huge Ravensburger booths. From adults to very tiny humans, everyone had a blast - including me 😁 Now? I rest...

Loop earplugs benefit #629 and counting: Dampening the roaring squeal of the asphalt being cut, just outside my window. When you have to wear the earplugs indoors, it's gonna be a day...at least we have the utilities turned on today.

I slept so well last night that I woke up with the strangest thing this morning...Hope 🥰 I've been a bundle of stress and anxiety for so long, it's time for a new leaf to unfurl. Passing this on as your sign to seize the day and find joy in the small moments. Sending lots of love from me to you ❤️
