I’m having high tea with my boys and may be missing the point (I will read later) but pour dish soap on each stain, and rub. Let sit for an hour and throw in the washing machine- should take care of it!!
Tea time sounds lovely! 🥹 I tried a stain remover without letting it soak in much and threw it in the washer and... let's just say I should have done your method! But honestly... I'm halfway ok with it because now I will never forget the lesson the stains taught me! 😅🙏
Megan you're none of those things you think you are! Not with writing like this Hun! Bring your life to NC and start over, I have tons of friends here from Michigan that you'd love!
I've been patiently (not so patiently) waiting for you to pick up that second publication idea for realz...then yesterday my Hobbit reads this and sends me a gift paid sub to your Quest! I'm all in for you girlfriend! I'll be your #1 cheerleader and support over there!
🥹🥹 That energy that you've held for me and this pub gibes me alllll the happy feel chills. I just am amazed by the love here, thank you soooooo much, friend! And to dear Hobbit! 🥹 THANK YOU FOR BEING MY #1 CHEERLEADER!
This is temporary!!! Better things are on the horizon. It is true. It is true. It is true. And I am wresting with my inner demons every damn day too- I love your ability to go THERE with us and your Lucky shirt got a promotion!! ITS EVEN LUCKIER NOW! 🍀 🌶️
Lol, the job part sounds painfully familiar. My employer dumped a steaming pile on my desk back in July and told me I was redundant. I’ve been unemployed for a month now, and honestly? I’m glad they did it—only now do I realize just how toxic the so-called “leadership culture” was at the top. Fuck, I wouldn’t even call it culture; there was no culture, just miserable, small-minded bullshit!
And I’m genuinely sorry about your lucky sweatshirt—hope you manage to save it! Fingers crossed for you!
Ahh, the Universe works in mysterious ways!!! What a roller coaster of emotions that must have been. And -- SO GLAD you're out of the toxic wasteland that kind of situation was! I know great things are on the horizon for you!
And, thank you. 🙏 Since the stains didn't fully come out, I'm embracing the irony and the lesson that lucky sweatshirt told me... because after all, it brought me luck in disguise... and I'm so grateful.
Hell to the fucking yes, girl. Preach on, carry on, move on, keep on keeping on, and don't fucking look back.
I feel your rage and encourage it. I have the same feelings about my job - and I'm a fucking teacher - how depressing is that? I am so fucking sick of SSDD (Same Shit Different Day) I could scream until my throat disintegrates.
I know what it's like to feel trapped, ignored, gaslit, lied to, patronized, and yelled at. And I'm a white, middle-aged, married, straight dude. It's much worse for you, as a woman. It's bullshit - but it's also real.
You can fucking do this. You are smart, ambitious, funny as hell, and a stellar writer. Own that shit. All of it and seize the fucking day. And when you fuck up - and you will; it's the rules - pick your ass back up, learn from what went wrong, and do that shit better the next time. Lather, rinse, repeat.
You do have this. All of it. Keep on keep on with your badass self. (And use some Dawn on those fucking oil stains. I hate those fuckers, too.)
STEVE!!!!! Thank you so much for this, grinning and feeling like I have got this after this pep talk in the comments!
SSDD ---- Massive empathy for the throat disingration. UGH!!!

Thank you! 🥹
I love it when you are basically FORCED to move by the Universe. Which, to my way of thinking has always been conspiring to give us what we need. We may not want it, know what it is, but we know that there's SOMETHING for us on this divergent path. I can't wait to see you fucking own it, Megan. You are on your way. Love, V

I think you can still do it, even though it’s been washed. Dish soap is kind of a miracle for oil stains on clothes.
Megan you're none of those things you think you are! Not with writing like this Hun! Bring your life to NC and start over, I have tons of friends here from Michigan that you'd love!
Thank you!!! 🙏 (I think if I move it's gonna be Ireland 😂 sadly JK lolol)
Lol good choice, ice ice baby

" But dare I say healthy rage"
I have been there that moment of crisis
Not wanted but still believe
took a while to recoup
Find a different path
Older yes older
but did as you can, will if I may say
Subscribe yes because I want to follow because your journey will be inspiring
Enough, just saying
Ahhh, I love these words. I am finding my path!!! 🙏
The JOB 💀💀💀💀

At least the Universe lubricated I guess 🤔 Sorry, girl. But I agree - time to fuck some shit up!!!
