He never had the money to pay for the ballroom. It was always a scam. We were always going to have to pay for it. They were just waiting for the right moment to hit us with the bill. This is now the time.

We could also go to a Smash Room, which I think would be fun AND therapeutic.

Swiftie May Movement Community... Let's go! Starting May 1st... Move! Whatever you can do, however long you can. This is for all of us. Playlists will be on Spotify, posted here, and a YouTube playlist. Want to be added to a tag list? Let me know and I'll make one.

Yes, Trump lies about everything. Compulsively.

Yes, I judge you if you post on Substack. No, I will not read or share your article, no matter how relevant you make it look.

Notice that the Trump regime is not just blaming one violent person for what happened Saturday night. It’s blaming 8 million peaceful “No Kings” protesters as well as you and me posting peacefully on social media. Trump isn't opposed to violence. He's opposed to resistance.

Every single bullet fired by the Secret Service agent missed the target. This isn't conspiracy-theory-Cass speaking, I just have some genuine questions about the firearms qualification requirements for this position.

May will make you happy May will give you what you need May will be the month you get a lover May will make you financially stable May will bring you many surprises May will be the best month of the year

I think all of us born between like 1975 and 1985 need a support group for the fact that living through a rolling apocalypse, living with long covid, and starting menopause apparently all have the same symptoms.

While I have an abundant supply of pitchforks and fire, I am reserving them for the fight for women's liberty and survival in the face of this admin. I have no pitchforks or energy available to waste on silly, performative cancellation marches.

This is Tango. She wants you to know this isn't what it looks like. Doesn't know what else it could be yet, but she's working on that. 12/10 obviously innocent (IG: eyes_on_tango)

Okay, but evidently this perked up one of my sleeping muses.

I hate feeling like I must research every new artist that perks my ears when listening to streams, because AI music is EVERYWHERE. Books, too. Am I supporting real artists, or have I fallen into the grips of the machine?

I mowed the terrace and trimmed a hedge. So I rewarded myself with a delicious order of tteokbboke. 🤗🥣 It's my Gold Star Chore Chart for adulting. 🌟

Mueller She Wrote had a busy night. 7:48 PM: Claims without evidence that the shooter was dead. 7:53 PM: Wait, maybe there weren't any gunshots? But maybe there were? 8:12 PM: Suspect in custody, but the gunman is still dead (NOTE: the gunman is not dead)

This puts the security debate in better perspective. I know this space really well. The guy wasn’t anywhere near the ballroom. He was basically trying to rush the security perimeter and failed. It’s a big complex with lots of different event happening at the same time.

THE RECAP‼️ #WHCD

The call went out to his supporters

As I was saying...

The #WHCA dinner went on after an "assassination attempt"and people actually stayed? If this wasn't staged, if their absolutely safety wasn't assured, this seems akin to having cocktails in your finest attire, listening to the strings as the Titanic sinks.

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

Last week, Trump was demanding his ballroom be built as a matter of national security and safety. Tonight, shots ring out at a ballroom where Trump is attending the White House Correspondent's Dinner. 🤔

This President tells us every day that no election is free and fair unless HE wins. Well, that's not how it works in America, no matter how many tantrums he throws. Trump lost the 2020 election. That will never change and I have zero intention of letting him rewrite history.

Hello, lovely #Witches. Beltaine is almost here, and I have a new free article up on my website about May Day, the Deities and beings associated with it, and a simple Beltaine fire ritual for you to do. No signup or anything needed. #WitchSky goldenwebmysteryschool.com/witchcraft-m...

Can we all just ignore the pile of dirty laundry she's crawled into, and just appreciate this adorable dog and her best friend, Yelena Duckova, who is once again napping with her? (Ducky Barnes is currently MIA, I don't know how he offended her)

Sweet like justice, Karma is a Queen. 🐘⚖️

Congratulations to @stephenking.bsky.social for this well-deserved honor!👍 (Novels/Novellas: Approximately 65 to 67 Non-fiction books: 5 books.

Mister, don't threaten me with a good time.

Just so you know: If we're Switch friends, when your notification pops up and tells me you're on and playing a game, I say hello to you out loud. ☺️🤗 You may not know it, but the universe does, and I hope somehow you feel that someone is thinking of you.

Apparently, people are interested in analyzing lyrics and music from artists who were living in the closet while the world thinks they're straight. I think Savage Garden is overlooked in this whole conversation. Look at some lyrics from the perspective of a (now) VERY openly gay Darren Hayes.

#OnThisDay in 1969, bees disrupted a protest at the UW campus. This was intentional. historylink.org/File/1223

I’m not a very nostalgic person, but one thing I definitely miss about the ‘90s is angry girls making music. It was a goldmine. Can we please get pissed-off young girls back into garages, please?

I like some of her songs, but for the most part Olivia Rodrigo gives me secondhand embarrassment. I know a theater kid trying too hard to pretend like they don’t care when I see one.

I'm sure I either entertain or terrify my neighbors when I walk outside. "Winnie! You have got to be KIDDING me with this barking! Get your furry butt back inside this house right this minute!" (Complete with a Mom Snap & Point at the door) Winnie turns around and ambles inside, grumbling.

I'm crying, this is so funny, he has absolutely no idea.

The Obvious.. Atlantic writer sued by Kash Patel says she’s been ‘inundated’ with new sources corroborating her reporting www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Trying again. It is WILD that this isn't the top story in the country right now. The president is weak, feeble, sundowning, and unable to faithfully discharge the responsibilities of his office. It's right here, live on camera, and the national press just shrugs.

TIL that many fridges have a Sabbath setting to turn the lights off for a full day.

Pop Quiz, babydolls; who's more delusional, the g*ylors or these assholes? 👇👇👇

Media illiteracy: The Video.

This is a FRAUDULENT paper, AI-generated. My name was used as an author and I had nothing to do with it, never saw it until today e-pubmed.co.uk/journals/dig... The "Editors" Angelo Rossi Mori, David Mensah, and Zarnie Khadjesari and this "Journal" should be reported.

Every year, this duck shows up at the courtyard of this school and lays her eggs. When they are ready, the school releases them into the great outdoors. She returns every year because they make her feel safe.

So yes. Pete asked him to do something even HE thought was too far, and he said no. Pete tattled to Daddy Trump, and the obstacle was removed.

In the Time of Dragons is music for our moment, and I will not apologize for the person I become when it releases.

She was 16. He was 30. There is no consensual option.

PabloReports: Who do you think Trump should fire next? AOC: Is he out of women? Trump only seems to have the capability to fire female secretaries. If you’re a man in the Trump administration, it seems that they reward misconduct.

Some schools have tornado drills. Today, the schools are having Lahar drills. All the kids are outside, walking about a mile up the nearest hill, in case that big ass volcano we love decides to blow its top.
