something white people (and nonblack people of colour) need to know is that if your friend of colour comes up to you to tell you that you were being racist in some way or another, that is an act of trust.

Unforseen problem: the only socks I haven't lost are the hot topic supernatural socks my sister gave to me for christmas so I keep going to his house in flip-flops

Having a crush on a coworker is so stupid. Like yeah I know for a fact nothing is gonna happen between us and if it did it would be the worst but also your smile lights up my 9-5

Not really sure how to put this but that guy fucked me 4 times in the past 2 days so I guess magic is real, gamers. Follow your dreams.

Hey Jo,

Glad that you have space to share a bit. I trust that you are using best efforts to keep the situation manageable!

Yeah, I can relate to the Indeed job search thing. A little distance helps a lot sometimes. Or getting new obligations / other polite ways to keep your space. I once joined a sustainable farm thing to get out of a crush / squish / really not sure what that is situation.

I am not sure if this is any consolation, or if this is the case with the co-worker, but I know folks who are like "if I see a tree, I am only thinking about that tree. Woah, its bark got texture", and won't think further than that. Their text did not have sub-texts.

You are doing the useful things for you. That's pretty awesome already.

You got this.

Sharing digital chicken noodle soup as gesture of good will,

It's so hard to believe that someone's texting style is Not That Deep but 100% of the times I've freaked out about it it has been Not That Deep so I am going to surrender myself to faith on this one and hope and pray he still wants to be friends but if not I'll just have to find a way to deal 🫠

I did just start night classes at a local college that offers free classes for practical skills!!!! It's totally legit and I didn't realize how much I missed being in school until now. It's all I've ever known and having a very specific long term goal will hopefully help me stay centered.

i really could write an essay on how shit is that we’ve completely abandoned the monster-of-the-week episode format even when rebooting shows that relied on it to replace them with grimdark edgy plotlines where nothing feels good or accomplished at the end of the day

Hey, [still not sure about your preferred name ]

This is the anon asking about the distinction between romantic and platonic attraction from a while back.

No new interesting questions today. Just writing to check in. How are you holding up about the co-worker situation? That seems rough.

You don't have to give details if you're not comfortable elaborating. Just want to let you know you're not alone in this, (and maybe commiserate a bit).

... Uhhhhh, idk, hopefully it gets better?

Best,

Weirdly formal anon from before

Hi anon thanks for checking in! And you can call me Jo!

I will (probably) be okay provided I keep myself from crashing out about this which should be very possible since I'm an adult with fully working inhibitions. I think it was probably clear from my last response that I despise any attempts to pathologize human emotion but just to provide an accurate account of what I'm feeling I'll drop the wiki link for limerence with the clarification that I do not see it as meaningfully distinct from "love" or a "crush". I am just a slave to hormones right now and it's very debilitating having to swallow those feelings knowing they're directed toward someone who sees you as nothing but a nice if somewhat strange coworker. I really just kinda need to hold out as best I can. I like my coworker a lot but he's a very smart man and I may just need to be cordial and take space while I wait for these feelings to blow over which I assume they will because god I don't know how to fucking be normal about this and the last thing I'd ever want to do is make him feel uncomfortable 💀.
