I resisted because I didn’t go to the gym until like 6:45, so obviously if I still have The Urge I’m going tomorrow because I have a Fancy Drink banked now. Guilt-free, basically REQUIRED Beverage. Ohhh noooooooo

I am OBSESSED with my new favorite Dutch bros order (iced chocolate milk chai, lite ice, half a scoop of cinnamon) and I’m trying to decide whether I should get one as a post-gym treat despite its caffeine… because that would be at like 7 PM

So unfortunate that I’m only now inclined to succumb to “sure I can have this a third time in four days”

#I did get chai concentrate while I was at Trader Joe’s tonight #because… I honestly dont know how long the container in the fridge has been in there at this point #expiration dates mean nothing to me but also like. mold. #maybe my OWN chocolate milk chai will be just as satisfying #if not even better

OP, the phrase you’re looking for is “linguistic discrimination”

if you give “stupid” characters rural/southern accents i don’t like you and if you give “smart” characters rural/southern accents but it’s a punchline i don’t like you even more

Okay tech company whose workers are almost fully remote, can I recommend an allowance that is 1.5x the amount you gave me to get my wfh setup done better

I feel like with a height-adjustable desk ($219, plus $60 for the “accessories”) and a nice ergonomic chair that I can currently get on sale for $550 or so, I would have a great setup

$500 is like. among the lower of the offers for getting a wfh setup going that I’ve seen. I was honestly expecting $1000. I would’ve negotiated for $1000 and expected $750 if that number were actually in the offer but OF COURSE NOT.

Hello welcome to the first world I hate how much I care about this

Also my phone is REAL crusty and pretty gross under its case, another very first-world problem. That’s all I’ve got anymore.

#strictly speaking I think I really only need the chair #but it is so hard to choose. I have no idea what I want. I just want a chair #either where I can sit normally like a normal person #and be comfortable #or be a gremlin and sit all curled up and weird and/or cross-legged #and I would also like to spend no more than $300 on it because that’s fucking insane #…if anyone has chair recs I guess let me know #sigh. #actually for the offsite thing if I stay with my dad can I have the $$$ you save on my hotel room for my wfh setup #cause like. I mean. he’s literally five minutes away

most notable times of being hit on by customers:

guy who tried to impress me with card tricks and failed every single one of them

old man who attempted to get my number when his wife walked away and slipped me his email address ending with “@ aol.com” when i said i don’t do that

cute gay couple that came back to tell me i was cute and then called the shop to ask me out

older professor who i talked to about folklore and told me he dressed as a wizard for recitals saying “this is really embarrassing but umm.. i’d love to get to know you more..” and gave me a receipt with his email address on it

dude in his 40s asking me on a movie date and me saying yes but then he kept starting text conversations with “ahoi hoi”

military guy who said it’d be hot if i killed him with a baseball bat

most notable time a customer did not ask me out:

a man who i knew had a wife and children getting really flustered and saying “um. ive been, uh.. idk if you remember me but um. i come in here a lot and ive uhhh haha umm ive been wanting to ask you for a couple weeks now.. um. have you read the green lantern issue i recommended??????”

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

#lately it’s been ‘this is too hard I will just wait for lunch’ #but when I have my shit together it’s like a yogurt and a muffin/pastry #or overnight oats #or a frozen breakfast (or bean and cheese) burrito

‘Bigger than the Oscars’: Blackfeet Nation honors Lily Gladstone with stand-up headdress

BROWNING — Wearing a white sequin shawl and matching ribbon skirt, esteemed actress Lily Gladstone kneeled on the floor of the new arbor on the Blackfeet Reservation as tribal elders placed a stand-up headdress atop her head. 

Thousands of people who traveled across the country — and from Canada — to honor Gladstone watched in silence. 

Gladstone stood and embraced tribal leaders. Then, with one hand over her heart and the other holding onto Charlene Plume, the elder who made her headdress, Gladstone danced in a circle around the arbor. Members of the Women’s Stand-Up Headdress Society, tribal leaders, dignitaries, students, teachers and children followed behind.

The sound of drums boomed, and the crowd erupted. 

Gladstone, who grew up in Browning and East Glacier, recently rose to worldwide fame after starring in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” alongside Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio. 

She made history, becoming the first Indigenous person to win a Golden Globe award for best actress and the first to be nominated for best actress at the Oscars. 

At Tuesday’s event — which included a grand entry, flag song, prayer, speeches from dignitaries, honor song and round dance — leaders thanked Gladstone for representing the Blackfeet Nation on the world stage and for being a role model for young people.

“Because of you, rez kids on every reservation here and in Canada can chase their dreams,” Councilman Everett Armstrong said at the event. “Students, take a look at this accomplishment — it’s possible.”

Councilman Robert DesRosier delighted in the fact that Gladstone “is just like us.”

“She’s us,” he told the crowd before turning to Gladstone. “Lily, welcome home.”

More than 50 members of the Women’s Stand-Up Headdress Society — a group of contemporary Blackfoot women in the U.S. and Canada who own such headdresses — traveled to Browning to celebrate Gladstone. Theda New Breast, a member of the society, said Tuesday marked the largest gathering of stand-up headdress members to date.

The burning question about "homesteading tradwive influencer vs. actual medieval farmwife" wouldn't be about who would win, but what would be the final straw that would make Kathrynn - who got married at 21, doesn't know what a chemical is, and who would have sent her children to school if she had had the chance - finally decide to beat the ever-loving shit out of Kathrynn, who got married at 21, doesn't understand what a chemical is and can't spell for shit, but still thinks she can homeschool her kids.

It wouldn't be over feminist issues. Medieval Kathrynn has no concept of "women's right to vote" - it's not like her husband has the right to vote in government matters either. It would probably be about religion. Medieval Kathrynn has no idea what "catholism" is, but she heard Modern Kathrynn talk shit about the saints and decides to toss aside the goat she was castrating and go "that's it, I'm beating your ass."

Yesterday I did an anxiety-inducing task (buying expensive plane tickets and hotel rooms) and tomorrow I really should do another anxiety-inducing task (writing the final report for my grant) before I do a third anxiety-producing task (actually doing the language ideologies hockey research by combing through lots of sports newspaper articles)

WHY are all these tasks causing me so much ANXIETY what the FUCK
