    LinkedIn is the fucking worst with that. I get like 4 an hour for generic spam bullshit articles or something and as soon as I clear them out, magically 8 more pop up

    Unless you’re waiting for a job advert, I’d just disable notifications for the app

    Only recently noticing that I pronounce the words ‘form’ and ‘forum’ identically.

    Told myself, “No I don’t,” but then said them in succession and had this reaction:

    Time for an embarrassing story about pronunciation.

    I was in foster care from ages 8-11 and one of the places I lived was kind of a farm, which is where I probably first heard of de-worming animals. A couple of years after, I was back living with my actual dad but I went to spend the weekend with this foster family because we had kept in touch. This was probably 2005 or 2006 but I still remember asking one of my foster parents if they had de-wormed the cows, but for some reason I was saying de-WARMed the cows, and they were so confused.

    Still haunts me.

    it's amazing those stupid little tidbits that we remember (oftentimes out of our own embarrassment) that other people probably forgot long ago

    but what if they didn't tho? what if they remember every dumb thing you ever did way better than even you do? ain't anxiety fun

    diminishing returns

    I am often very reticent to return to something that I know I love because there is the very real fear of it not having quite the same impact that it once did on me. each time it happens, I feel a part of myself die with it

    I used to work with someone who had like 3 fucking Master’s degrees by 28 and she was ranked as a top 10 “30 people under 30” in our state or some shit and she was talking about going to national parks and pronounced Yosemite as “Yo-Sah-Might” park and the three of us she was telling this story to looked at each other totally confused about what the fuck she was saying. And she kept saying it over and over and finally we had her show us a picture or pull it up on Google or something and we al just about pissed ourselves with laughter.

    Honestly the only reason I know how to pronounce it is probably from Yosemite Sam from Loony Tunes lmao but was just so funny hearing this super smart person butcher a word

    She wasn't like super frustrated more just confused why that word in particular tripped me up.

    1st grade Colby also got in a "fight" at school but didn't end up going to the principal office because that same teacher was absent and I think forgot once she got back
