I am not going to #livestream today like I said.

Going to #skidrow yesterday put me in a dark state of mind, and I am exhausted.

However I feel it was good for me, and I am better today now that some #emotions have processed.

I need a rest because I basically had the most terrifying hour or two ever-

1. #livestream when I was nervous and a novice.

2. Be in giant #protest of people which terrified me.

3. Go to Skidrow which #triggers me hard.

Someone did tip me a dollar.

It isn't the Universe's job to keep us from encountering our triggers ever again, as nice as that would be.

Our task is to work on our triggers as best we can, and to work on avoiding the triggers we're not ready to work on yet.

When other people help us avoid our triggers, good on them. But that doesn't make it their responsibility.

🧵 2/2 Uh ok. Can you wait five minutes until I’m home and won’t cause a wreck? No, as it turns out. By the time I reply again from my workstation they are all gone.

I can’t even describe how triggering this. Took a very simple task and turned into some horrible and painful in the name of security theater. So angry right now.

🧵1/2 Someone has a really rotten sense of humor today. I make a simple request of IT, and have to do it in a channel that’s truly horrible about doing things properly. Fine.

But then hours and hours go by. So I finally decide to run an errand for my son after lunch. I’m about five minutes from home, driving, when several people pop into my slack asking to help.

Welche Standardphrasen könnt ihr einfach nicht mehr hören?

Bei mir ist es "Für das leibliche Wohl ist bestens gesorgt."

In jeder f***ing Einladung zum Kita-Grillfest, jedem "total zwanglos, aber ihr seid ja alle da"-*zwinki-zwonki*-Workplace-Get-together und sowieso jeder Dorfrallye kommt dieser versch***ene Satz 😤

Ja, der sch*** Satz triggert mich ohne Ende. Vermutlich weil es idR dort genau *nichts* für mich zu Essen gibt.

Was isses bei euch?
