When I’ve got some more spoons I’ll elaborate 😅

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

Yeah ‘cause he’s an ass

Yeah I’ve got a whole bag of diddums he’s welcome to.

I love this so much

My 5yo opening his Minecraft world to LAN then reading me out the port number is the cutest thing.

Starmer has proposed legislation requiring Skittles only come in red, white, and blue.

I’m all shrugs & sighs at the moment. But on the plus side I’ve tapped out like 50 self deprecating skeets over the last few days and deleted them before sending, so that’s progress I guess. I don’t want to give it a voice, but I do not feel good.

I mean that when I say “should” I’m not talking about other people’s expectations. I’m talking about my physical and mental condition and the fact that I feel ready to engage again, but the engine just won’t fire up, so I’m still inert.

No, I’m talking about condition not expectation.

No well actually it’s not been 16 months.. it’s been 16 months since I broke after being made redundant. The burnout has been going on a lot longer.. a *lot* longer..

It’s been 16 months now and only really the last few weeks I’ve felt myself start to get internally restless, which I’m taking as a good sign 😅

I just want to get on with it.. patience is hard 😔

It’s a funny neurdivergent juxtaposition. Change is both stressful and necessary.

Need to find a way to break my current cycle. Throw a whole bag of spanners in the works.

I don’t think my situation is helping, but it feels like more than that, like I would still be struggling if my situation was different, just less.

I feel like I’m entering a new and as yet undiscovered late phase of burnout where for all intents and purposes I feel like I should feel good, but I can’t seem to stop falling on my face.

It’s also not any kind of metric whatsoever 🤦🏼‍♀️

This shit still works as an adult 👌

Haha 😆 I can’t find a clip but this is what I imagine (6:03)

Oh so they wanna trigger my RSD too do they.

Funny thing is my first thought was “oh wow a family as weird as mine!"

Misread as gargling 🙃

Literally made me spit out a sandwich

(Try to imagine me red faced and seething as I shake my fist while hissing the words through my teeth, text loses that nuance)

Sad little incels spending their free time trying to compensate for being ineffectual by.. being ineffectual.

This is fine. I spent 2 hours playing Manor Lords yesterday because for the first time in months I felt OK enough to play games 😅
