a true testament to the indomitable nature of the human spirit that last night I was horizontal in bed, reading a book, half-asleep, and 30 minutes later I was at Hotel Vegas wearing a mini skirt, 4-inch platforms and a full face of makeup

This headline made me cry.

I was recently in south texas where many Hispanic voters I spoke to — who voted for Trump in 2024 — also told me that they loved their House Rep, Henry Cuellar. Split ticket voting plays a growing role in Texas election and will probably factor into this race.

Talking on the phone is so intimate.

obessed with a thought experiment predicated on the idea of willingly taking a road trip to Abilene, Texas for dinner en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abilene...

deleting all the images saved to my desktop, here are a few

very good profile of James Talarico in @texasmonthly.bsky.social by the ever-wonderful Allegra Hobbes: www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

"Could this strange, wise boy with the gentle cadence of a preacher be the one to deliver Democrats from damnation? Or at least from decades of unabated loserdom?" Great profile of James Talarico via @allegrahobbs.bsky.social

hallucinatory day, thought I had the flu (full body aches, chills) but it was just stress, had a bonkers therapy session in which therapist retold the book of Genesis in great detail by way of explaining my parental relationships, then I read the Lizza blog

Logging into Bluesky after deactivating my Twitter account feels very similar to vaping while trying to quit cigarettes (doesn't hit the same, doubly embarrassing somehow, still feels bad but in a different way)

love filing a draft then opening my phone to text back all my friends who now believe me to be dead ❤️

wtf is in "Yerba mate"......I slammed 1.5 of those and put on the first 100 gecs album and almost cried at how beautiful it was

'Hearing Damage' by Thom Yorke wafting from the speakers outside Capitol Cafe, Dan Huberty's coffee shop on Congress Ave......an entirely new kind of vibe never before experienced

when Trent Reznor said IT DIDN'T TURN OUT THE WAY YOU WANTED IT TO / IT DIDN'T TURN OUT THE WAY YOU WANTED IT TO, DID IT / NOW/ YOU KNOW/ THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE I felt that

nothing worse than when you ask if a restaurant has Diet Coke and they say "we have an all-natural 'diet cola'" SHUT UP!!!!!!!!

still true

this is the issue that makes me so angry it threatens to tip me into MAHAdom www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/m...

Rilke was wrong btw — every feeling is final

much in the same way everyone is walking around reacting to their childhood wounds no matter their age the nation is still reacting to 9/11

I follow a handful of journalist for news updates, and an enormous number of mentally unwell people with arts degrees to put that news into proper context for me

I won't watch Severance. Everyone was too annoying about it. I don't like it when people demonstrate such an unhinged capacity for wonder that they're practically in tears over a show on Apple TV. Haven't you ever read a book? A POEM?? Seen a sunset? Been in love????

I would love to believe and endorse the oft-given advice that "nobody is thinking about you" but unfortunately my favorite activity, either alone or with a friend, is closely observing strangers in public and speculating wildly about what their deal is

when someone says they hate country music that's incredibly useful to me because I know immediately they have no taste and are boring

I love to go to the gym at 10pm with all the other freaks - have become convinced it's the only way to stay sane

I'll never be notable enough to do a Grub Street Diet but occasionally I think about the discourse that would have been spawned had I done one during the time I was editor of the Sentinel — it would have been so unhinged I fear that would've been my legacy

told a coworker today that I'm "letting the universe crash over me like a giant wave" and thought I was joking but as soon as I said it I was like wait but actually I am......namaste I guess

terrifying to contemplate the mental space I'd have to be in to watch the SNL 50th anniversary show

I highly recommend being of service to the people around you instead of screaming into the void on social media about things you cannot control

if they were just going after stimulants I'd be all about it

flew too close to the sun drinking cold brew first thing this am, a practice I'd sworn off because it's basically a hard drug. terrible choice. made everything feel very sinister. my fellow human beings became my enemies.

There is a lot of misinformation swirling about ICE and BP activity, arrests and deportations. I wish everyone would pause before circulating unverified claims.

Pete Hegseth's sobriety journey starts now. One day at a time, brother! Don't quit before the miracle happens 💫

I let the soft animal of my body love what it loves once and I almost died

we have to bring back having shame and fearing God

Whats going on here - it’s just overflow tweets. This is just another app I open once a day to see extra tweets.

So what’s the protocol on here…….like are we just doing Twitter on not-Twitter……are we getting weirder bc no one is looking
