Cheerful Nihilism
If you can laugh at it, you can live with it, as my dad used to say.

- I'm so frequently taken aback by the way people act in the comments section. I know I shouldn't be, by now, but I am.
- It is insanely emotionally exhausting to manage my own emotional self-regulation while trying to teach my teenaged child emotional self-regulation. If you're coping with your own chronic mental illness while trying to be an emotionally present parent, I see you, and you deserve nice things. 💖🫂
- Blessed be 🙏
- Don't fear the poop man
- When I eat chili peppers, it burns going in and coming out. But I keep eating them.
- My 12 year old son explaining "aura farming" to me made me feel like I'm 3,000 years old.
- I watched a recording of myself talking and apparently I say "ok" an embarrassing number of times. 😭
- Sitting here crying because Facebook demonitized my page for this stupid meme. I realize how ridiculous this is. Losing half my monthly income is the rotten cherry on top of a week of bad news.
- Maaaaaaaaaaaaan 😑
- this and some s'mores would help me
- My kids have been bickering about stupid bullshit every day recently. My mom would have just grabbed a broomstick, chased us and whoever she got to first would get wacked. I don't do that.
- I have to co-regulate, use the Socratic method to lead them to understand why being selfish/reactive does harm to relationships, & why it's important to seek harmony and cultivate compassion for people who love and care about you. It's exhausting 😭
- For as long as I can remember I've seen horrible people get their way - people who are cruel, selfish, arrogant, and mean spirited.
- Leaving a place of pain often takes tremendous strength.
- We visited Wat Khao Sanam Chai - วัดเขาสนามชัย.
- There's too many lemons. Too many lemons.
- We decided together that my husband wouldn't go back to the US for another fire season, even though it would be financially prudent, because my Spidey senses were tingling and I had a weird feeling that something bad would happen.
- Hehehe youtu.be/OchyYnlHTdo?...
- @corpseintraining.bsky.social is fighting Muay Thai at the Antza Thai boxing arena again tonight!
- Do the thing
- I thought these were fake plastic display grapes at the night market but they are real! They taste very mild and slightly floral. I've noticed a lot of fruits here have a floral note that I never encountered in the US
- I need some time to edit my posts please and thank you
- I work so hard to maintain my physical capabilities as I age. I wish it was like the movies where there's a video montage with exciting music. It's just a lot of slogging through the trenches... and sweat.
- Lust for money corrupts humanity jacobin.com/2025/06/inve...
- I got a blood pressure measurement device for home because of my white coat syndrome and I've discovered that scrolling memes lowers my blood pressure, lol. Of course I had to do this experiment 😅 I took measurements before and after for 6 days. Just a funny case study...
- This is how I flirt with @corpseintraining.bsky.social
- Nice little mental health walk on the beach. Much more enjoyable than walking on the treadmill. We walked 6 miles, but it felt very easy and it was overcast most of the time.
- I got suspended for 3 days on Facebook a few years ago for posting this meme.
- Trying to do family activities with a teenager and a preteen is like trying to herd cats. They're always going in different directions and when you finally corral them together there's usually some hissing involved.
- I still randomly say 'Hrrrraaaaahhh' but the more time passes, fewer people get this reference.
- Night swimming with my kiddos
- My blood pressure was so high today they said they might have to admit me to the hospital. I kept saying I have white coat syndrome, no one listened. They kept checking and rechecking while I was visibly crying with frustration. It was higher each time. I have to go back tomorrow to try again. 😭
- I know that White Coat Syndrome is commonly understood, I just don't understand why so many medical professionals I've had to interact with seem to completely dismiss my anxiety like I'm just being silly.
- Are you routinely convinced that everyone secretly hates you and is merely tolerating you for reasons you don't understand? Why does my mind hate me 😭
- Compromise only works if all parties are negotiating in good faith
- Secessio plebis 👏
- One thing the internet has taught me is that there are a lot of miserable people who seem motivated solely to share their misery with others. People often say "it's just bots," but bots are programmed by someone or some people.
- Oh yeah!
- Just pondering how weird it is to have a complicated relationship with your mom. The child part of you will always want a mom you can run to for help or comfort but the grown up part of you knows you won't get what you're seeking from her. So that need just stays frozen inside of you.
- It was easier before I had children of my own, because I could intellectualize this ambivalence. But as a mom, now, I try hard to be kind and present, to be a refuge and a person of support and encouragement.
- And it weirdly makes the ache a little more intense, sometimes, because I'm more aware of the possibility, of what could have been - but still resigned to the lack of that tenderness.
- Good for him
