I didn't get the good at numbers neurodivergence. I got the my socks feel weird so I might cry neurodivergence.

Now I’m supposed to be worried about bird flu, too?

Prediction: I am about to lose respect for a bunch of companies and institutions who are choosing to back away from their DEI initiatives and messaging due to the current political administration.

Honestly this kind of makes me want to delete it

Me: I wish I was dainty and cute.

Boyfren: I don’t.

Also, just a thought, but burping so loud that I can’t tell the difference between you and your 6’4” brother doesn’t really read as “dainty.”

It begins. #tiktokban

Edge of Stupid: An Autobiography of Decisions by Sonja Likness

Grade A cat snuggles from the snowy weekend

Living dangerously in my 40s looks different. Today it’s eating an expired salad knowing there’s a distinct possibility of diarrhea.

Just heard a gen Z mom say, “Literally get over yourself-uh,” to her baby and I’m dead 😂

My relaxing hobby of cross stitch has sent me into a low key rage because I have now spent more time picking out incorrect stitches than stitching.

Best one so far: This kid totally slaughtered Silent Night but did an arm flare on the last note that made us all forget and burst into wild applause to cover the giggles

And now a version of Twinkle Twinkle that was quiet as a little mouse fart

I am at the first of two kids piano recitals of the weekend. I just heard the slowest version of Silent Night that ever existed.

I forgot whistlers. You all are banished, too.

New rule: If you are a yell-sneezer, a loud-talker, or a high-pitched giggler, you now permanently work from home.

Where is the alien battle I was promised?

In the last few (tumultuous) years of my career, I have learned that I do NOT have what it takes to thrive in your fast-paced environment.

Because usually "fast-paced" means toxic, disorganized and competitive.

I want healthy-paced, efficient, collaborative work. THEN I'll thrive.

I love how there are only two camps in pet name philosophy: distinguished human names or all-out wackadoodle.

Your cat is either Arabella or Mrs. Stinkpantaloons.

(My cat’s full name is Turdbucket Pickypants, so you know where I fall I guess.)

You don’t have to leave by 9 because I’m tired. You have to leave by 9 because I’ve been holding in my farts all night and I don’t want to anymore.

You don’t need to use industry buzz words to sound smart. Just use normal words and know your shit.

I run a brand account on X. Two weeks ago I would have told you that we can't dump X. Our audience there is large and well-established and we get good engagement (for X).

This week I'm ready to kill the whole damn thing. I won't. Yet. But I want to. God it's a cesspool.

I will woo him with my buns!

And cherished not in spite of his weird brain but BECAUSE of it. I hope that brings encouragement to those of you who are different and struggle to fit. He was loved for his unique abilities and perspectives, and he found the place where he could thrive in those things.

My uncle recently passed away unexpectedly. He was a strange man -- neurodivergent before neurodivergence was really recognized. But I got to hear his memorial service today from where he taught chemistry at Arizona State University. He was cherished by his colleagues and students.

It’s the plant’s fault 💯

Would love to hear more on this!

I am not a librarian or a journalist, but I’m neurodivergent. Does that mean I can play here too?
