I was right. Lines manager officially became store director...of the store our new store director (not actually new but he hasn't been with us since 2005) came from. Today was his last day and I cried when I hugged him goodbye. So. Next week with someone new in charge will be interesting.

Hot YouTube guy is an ex-history/government teacher. His stream tonight is going to be SO angry and I am ready for it.

okay fr though Can we stop blaming southern/red states for the political downfall of the country??? “That’s what you get for voting for trump/Cruz/abbot” guess what? I FUCKING DIDNT.

Are we forgetting that four out of the five major cities in Texas (plus the greater Rio Grande Valley area) voted for Biden in the 2020 previous election? Are you forgetting that MILLIONS of POC and LGBT and marginalized people live, and exist in red states? That our votes get thrown out because of racist gerrymandering?

A lot of these places have trigger laws, and as of today the people you are blaming are having their rights stripped away so fr fr fuck you if you live in a blue state where roe v wade doesn’t affect you, and you’re putting the blame on people who are suffering the most rn

“Aunt Stephanie, why don’t you have a house or kids at your age?” My 7-year-old niece shamed me hard. At least my brother told her to stop being rude.

Friday: stay up until 1 because Hot Youtube Guy delayed his stream for three hours and it ended up getting deep. Have to be up at 5:30

Saturday: decide to go to bed early. Stay up until 11 like always. Have to be up at 3:30

Sunday: sleep from 2-7 and 11-3:30. Am shocked. (Okay I’m not, also because this is my main PMS symptom anymore that I end up sleeping all day and I’m just about to start).

This is my store's warehouse, ten miles away from me. The grocery side, which all the diapers/baby food comes out of. So uh, how has your evening been?
