in the fifth (iirc?) grade i thought i would look way cuter if i wore glasses. to my dismay, i passed my eye test. but eventually my dream came true: i got fake glasses at claire’s. so then tried to convince everyone i got glasses. i don’t remember how long i kept it up for but i think it was like only a week or so
years later in college i did have to get real glasses so maybe i actually manifested it

I look more academic, I feel more confident, and no one knows that they’re fake.

sometimes when i don’t wear my glasses in class i get tempted to watch netflix
but when i wear them the netflix gets reflected in the lenses so my prof can see that im ignoring them and watching lisa vanderpump yell at a jersey shore look alike instead
thus………………….. glasses increase focus !!

I still feel like I don’t need to always wear my glasses, but I did in fact fail my visual test for my drivers license renewal. I splurged on a pair of prescription sunglasses and I’ll never go back.
Only downside with these is that you can see my eyes and I can’t pretend to be mysterious.

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
