I don't think Americans quite understand the amount of disrespect Americans are going to receive from other competitors in international competition. The Brazil-USA women's soccer match yesterday was an outlier. We're hypocrites and bullies. The world hates us.

The Old West End has been my creative home for 24 years. Until my health got wonky, the OWE festival was an annual rite for me. So yeah, before I call it a night, today has shaken me to my core. Sad and angry. www.cnn.com/2026/06/06/u...

I think Elon is on a special-k bender today. Hi y'all. 😇

Xi could do the funniest thing and the world would have the biggest dance party.

Late Sunday nights on X and Truth Social are always batshit. Dementia Donnie keeps posting.

The Catholic church is not a political prop like the Russian Orthodox Church is for Putin. MAGA, leave His Holiness alone.

Ok, so no nukes flying or civilizations ending tonight. No lie, a two week ceasefire is a good thing. Still, the cynic in me thinks Trump will use the two weeks to attack those he considers his enemies at home. There is no upside with this guy.

Easter is hitting a little differently this year. ‘Twas the day before Easter and all I could think of was the renewed Catholic versus Protestant cage fight, the lame ass zoomer influencer tradwife craze, my undying allegiance to sex workers and a screen grab of a post by Dasha Nekrasova from

Imagining a short term future where if I put on my leather pants, paint my nails, try a little eyeliner or lipstick, I could go to jail. This isn't about the children. It's simply that the hateful feel uncomfortable and they've decided there needs to be a law against that.

I think the greatest compliment ever told to me was from a friend who said “she liked my brain.”

Essay topics for this week: "The New Catholic Versus Protestant Divide" "Art, Not Content Isn't An Imperative: In Defense Of Sex Workers" "Scene Queer Vol. 1" "Remembering Hyperion And Rowena"

If you are gay, lesbian, transgender or a sex worker, expect attacks to be unrelenting leading up to November. A deeply unpopular, corrupt and war mongering administration's enablers need available targets to distract from the hellscape they've created. Tag, we're it.

Writing about culture is an existential crisis that extends to infinity. Write about one thing, then write about another that relates to or is adjacent to it and on and on.

@bencollins.bsky.social , why did you do us UT grads like this? 😜

"Guilt by literature" Every time I write an essay, I recognize that Trump's DOJ is actively trying to criminalize any and all dissent. theintercept.com/2026/03/13/m...

Toledo vibes.

Sunday night engagement, because this country is spiraling and alt right 'thinker' Curtis Yarvin has a bit to do with this. From a conversation Yarvin posted the other day. Questions being: "where do we go from here?" and how did we become so unserious?"

Two essays pending this week at kseniasienna.substack.com?utm_campaign... this week: "Art As Defiance" and "Marketing The Apocalypse."

De-evolution of the species.

. . . Pete Hegseth, the frothing at the mouth poster child American meathead. He represents everything a decent American parent would hope their male child would not become as an adult.

Man, Venezuela bent the knee. Like seriously embraced the Donald. How embarrassing for them.

Writing has been hard this week. When you’re a citizen of an off the rails rogue state that doesn’t appear to have any limits to its depravity packaged in pseudo religious bs, you’ll find yourself in the fetal position muttering to yourself in some made up language.

For all her sins, her photo op in front of all the emaciated prisoners in El Salvador will always be something ingrained in my consciousness. Hopefully some day she faces real consequences. There's a special place in hell reserved for Kristi Noem.

If an administration is attempting to self-fulfill the biblical apocalypse, elections are rather immaterial in their world view.
