Baking Through It™️ continues to be the best coping mechanism I have ever learned Is my life still problematic? Yes! But does my place smell amazing and I now have a chocolate olive oil cake? Also yes!!

Day 3 of my attempt to Super Size: No! They keep unlocking more levels before I make it out to the BK!! I’m getting Dairy Queen’d in my own quest to get DQ’d!!!

My new life goal is joining Archipelago games so I can slowly try the entire menu of every fast food chain and say the most nonsense lines in the chat “Hey gamers, I’m RB’d, who else wants a Beef ‘n Cheddar” “My Out is Cooked 😔 gonna get a Cheerwine Float ✌️” etc etc :3

when you’re mean to me that’s gore of your comfort character 🥺

Can it just be acceptable to talk about how you spent 2 hours collecting numbers and data at 2AM for no reason other than love of the game in job interviews 😭 Don't ask me why I want the job when the money question is how my weird brain can be your capitalism slave

Getting referred to as part of the team by people at @zeldathon.com got me going full this rn

Throwaway idea that I may do nothing with (but someone is more than welcome to use and build on) - is it worth building community for the venn diagram between the speedevent community and cross-stitching? Whether to share pattern links or set up impromptu in-person cross-stitch and chill or whatever

I really think we lost something when we stopped trying to be good to each other.

me in the airport diving headfirst into the next event anyway 😅

SGDQ isn't quite over yet but I'm trying real hard to not dive headfirst into the next event so let's procrastinate with some sap. Thank you if you reached out to ask for some time together, I never know where I stand and it helps more than you know.

You already know if this post is targeted at you.

I was told I hadn’t posted about cross-stitch in some time (because, well, I haven’t been posting so much as trying to survive) but on this eve when I should definitely be doing other things, a small reassurance that yes, I am still being violent with thread and cloth:

Anyway, good way to dissolve post-job interview anxiety Back to fetal position

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE RELEASING THE ONE PIECE KAIROSOFT GAME IN ENGLISH

Anything I can do, someone else can do better. I don’t know if it’s humility, impostor syndrome, perfectionism - but it’s ingrained in how I approach things. It means I have a hard time being proud of my work, and understanding if I’m doing good. If you’ve ever interacted with me, you’ve seen it.

the phone game currently feeding my addiction to gacha systems/parts cataloguing really said happy pride month

I had to take a 2 week break because the ankle overuse was getting severe, but I got back on the trail today Lesson learned: It’s okay to stop something and then get back into it without starting from scratch (tell that to my backlog though) Maybe learned: Take breaks before your body makes you!!!

4 straight weeks I’m not where I was before (got a twinge in the ankle that likes to remind me I probably never will be 😭) But breathing is improving and pace is going down, and more importantly, I’m keeping this up.

I’ve been keeping my head down to focus on what I need to and right now I only post on socials to let folks know I’m still alive. Sorry if that feels cold! If we’ve met, even if I can’t say it directly right now, know I’ve grown and learned from who you are as a person, and I’m rooting for you. 💚
