some people are saying getting their iron fixed helped their PMDD, I’m going to be so mad if this works

I was momentarily not totally goddamn callous to a young person who was lying in the street asking the Universe for a fucking break, and some asshole who lives above the smoke shop was recording her, and then me, and then posted it, and now it has 3000 comments. I fucking hate this, no thank you

And finally, to the couple of people who were like “how nice, can we identify her?” Or who followed me on ig because of this: fuck you, creeps. I had to make my account private for the first time. let a bitch live.

Stevie why are you talking about this if you don’t like the attention. Well, to warn the five people who follow me not to fucking post videos of strangers! It’s gross!

i also kinda feel that everyone who commented positively is an asshole who would rather have a warm fuzzy than examine whether it is appropriate for that woman and this woman to be posted online when they were trying to live their fucking lives!

She, and all homeless people, are not but objects for me to be nice to so some stranger can go awww. I wasn’t EVEN being nice, I wanted her off the asphalt for aesthetic reasons as well as basic safety!

I might not have stopped if I WASN‘T with my kids. Some lady commented that she stopped when I did since I had my kids and she called 911! Like ok did they fucking come? Oh, no, I didn’t see, the girl left…dude, crying is not an emergency! Responders have nothing to offer her!

The whole reason she was crying is because all anyone gives her is phone numbers and no one at those numbers can help her! I’d be upset too! Involving her with 911 personnel for crying inconveniently is not kindness!

I don’t like those (happily, few) commenters saying the four dollars in cash I gave her would be spent on dope as though that’s any of their business or as though people who do “dope” magically cease needing to eat food.

I actually do not super like the comments that are in any way complimentary to me because I feel disgusted that I actually walk past most people who seem like they have any kind of need because I am a callous piece of shit like most other people in this city when they have to catch a bus.

no one asked if they could post an episode of my life and the images of my kids online, certainly no one asked the young woman if they could post her worst days of her life so far online. Everyone please start asking permission, or like, tell your friends bout your day, don’t post every damn thing

Three people and the mayor texted me about it. I don’t want to think that I am in a video from which people might recognize me. I don’t appreciate commenters telling me I coulda gotten stabbed (they mean should have) and I’m a bad mom.

I was starting to think our island vacation was a bust, thrifting wise, when a hoarder-adjacent antique store attempted to charge me unstained prices for very stained items. But luckily there’s a rummage shop attached to the transfer station, where your treasures are literally another man’s trash.

Seattle needs a “hey that’s still useful!“ drop off next to the dump station. Whenever I take my kid to watch the tipping floor I’m like hey that’s good pine, that laundry basket is in one piece, etc. they could live stream sorting and people could say hey save that item for me I am coming to get it

There was a car alarm going off on the ferry and the announcer’s voice was that of classic Sesame Street muppet, Prairie Dawn

I forgot we have tomorrow off at work but the school doesn’t, so I have….a day to myself…..what will I do with myself?

Write a newsletter about my grief? Sew several outstanding projects? Begin five new ones? Clean my house, start new bank accounts for my kids, call that sounder employee and apologise for hassling her about a refund for my dead husbands tickets when I thought he maybe didn’t have a retirement acct?

I could ride my little bike over to the Henry maybe….

Is the pugilistic character Polydeukes from the Argonautica the origin of the term “duke it out”? Signs point to no but it should be

My kid came home and asked how does blood get made and why is Egypt called that and I learned a lot!

Three little raccoons, shitting on the shed, one climbed down and ate a fig…Two little rac—

The previous tenant hung up a whole full length mirror made of real glass with just five command strips and BOY did that chicken come home to roost all over the floor this evening

Sometimes I really feel like crying and I’m just like oh it’s just because I’m tired. No, not the other thing, surely not

Brooks likes me to sing either the sheep song (composer:me) or “the song the lady sings on the beach” which i always forget is actually simple gifts, which I can’t hardly recall the second lyric to. Anyway I’m enjoying this website: songofamerica.net/song/clear-m...

Why not, here’s the sheep song. I counted up to sixty once, rough night. Kid was big into sheep at the time.

Why did I follow you? Idk was my dead husband someone who liked or replied to every one of your posts maybe

Wow I have never had to go three rounds with a large spider but hey that’s basement dwelling

19 Aug

I hate this, I had a husband and everything, I didn’t have to do this shit for so long. I used to be the man, the spider disposer and then I lucked out in my life and got a whole separate man. Now I’m back at square one in the spider department and minus one, ground-level-wise.

And there’s so fucking many of them down here! And they are so huge!

I have too much WIC milk on hand so I make instant pudding. I also have too much WIC eggs. you can just put eggs in pudding! No one will arrest you

It won’t improve your ferritin level or whatever but it’s more protein

So there was a man at the bus stop who had his stuff stacked on the seat of an office chair, as you do. But for some reason I was SO surprised when he loaded it upside down onto a bus seat and hit Carl in the back of the head with the wheels and then reclined on the upturned back of the seat

11 Aug

As you do! I cracked up, it was a good laugh. I once brought a full length two by four home on the 131, I’m not judging. It was so surprising! And sitting on it like that was a choice! Can you believe some people move away from this town

Ok so I don’t think indoor furniture should have cupholders,

my grandma says she heard I don’t have anywhere to sit (I have a wide variety of chairs: four kinds, 7 total, plus an ottoman) and I am very annoyed that someone is talking sit shit about my train wreck apartment living room that must do living, dining, working, playing, entertaining, AND walkway

Is it fiscally responsible to buy a restaurant banquette

8 Aug

The person most likely to be complwining is also short. I do need a variety of chairs Because I may have a tall Guest one day is this not reasonable? Something something house prices argh

i guess I’ll never sit in my own damn comfortable chair in my own house again because I’m being a dick to someone who is far less likely to be nursing a baby at that time? this irks me so much. Any couch will double the footprint of this credenza bench. I hate this.

In better news the cutie patootie phlebotomist with six years experience found me a fabulous new arm vein everyone else has missed over the last like five years of pregnancy and general health blood draws, very cool.

WIC: eat ten gallons of milk and cheese per month, for nutrition Mayo Clinic: after you’ve given up fried and baked foods, please know that there could still be hella cholesterol in dairy and cheese,

Today at a different bank the relationship manager gave me his number and then told me about the book he’s writing about his stalker exes who keep getting him committed….he has my address on file,

The whiners (me) got their way, no blue angels this year! Just in time for me to move away from the exact flight path that lets you see the low flying pilots faces. All it took was a horrible war…..

All my life since working for the danish bakery I have wanted to mop in their manner, come to find out a “Cuban mop“ costs less than three dollars. All other methods are stupid and filthy, this is the only good way (if you have on site laundry).

I went to the bank to do some fuckin thing and ended up getting a little choked up talking about Beau and the banker’s dead grandma and he was like “ I’m sorry to make you emotional, hey, you just moved here, we’re a slow branch, when you feel lonely come back and talk to us, we’re all very nice…”

Can you tell he’s not from Seattle
