Update: I rescind my Athleta plus size ad snark. The leggings are so butter that I have gone back for a second haul. And all the plus size discussion groups are in tears talking about how positive their in-store experiences have been. So thumbs up to Athleta.
Like, people are legit crying in one of my groups because Athleta has all sizes in store, across the store, and kind sales people.
I’ve talked so much about Athleta that Lululemon wants to send me the competition lol
Let me add this so people will stop. This is not a statement on anyone’s experience but mine. I am not recommending the brand, nor do I suggest or imply that my experience on my Twitter is a universal fat experience. I wish you well.
It will help a lot if you assume that I am not speaking of your experience if, I do not know you and/or am not you.

This just isn’t a good season for creating work for people. I am kinda amazed at the amount of just...junk people are generating after a year under extreme collective strain.
Even the nice extraneous stuff is just too much right now. We kinda need a moratorium on all personal mailings, gift exchanges, check-ins, round robins, etc.
And I don’t even know what to say to people soliciting things like class visits and subbing and what-not right now. The stuff we have to do to keep our jobs is one thing but nothing more.

Wow wow did you ever consider that I have no choice but to have the duck art that I inherited from my grandma WHO DIED A DEATH
You should be GRATEFUL you even have a world with ducks. We do not have ducks anymore. Wow.
Here’s the thing, did you ever consider just walking over and TALKING to the ducks like they MATTER?? That’s how I met my duck husband and my biracial duck babies deserve better than you.

Because nothing is perfect, my older neighbors start banging in the side yard by my bedroom at 8:30 in the morning because old people hate sleep, hate brunch, and hate me.
I deliberately chose a street without families because bless y’all but I don’t need those shenanigans. I did not, however, think through the elderly’s penchant for living all of life before 9 am.
Guess I will leave a passive aggressive comment on Facebook, if I understand suburban warfare correctly.
