I’m finally leaning into big fun dangly earrings. Big. Fun. Dangly. Please give me something to look forward to. Show me the pair of earrings I cannot live without. I will save my loose change until I can buy them. Please. And thank you.

If all I knew about him was that there’s a man named Thomas Chatterton Williams, the person I’d imagine in my head would be exactly like he is.

the internet and its wonderful people have given me so many lovely things ⚾💙

I wrote my first ever pilot in a week and I'm as proud as a dude on a dating app holding his freshly-caught fish

This is my life now. Sorry.

Recalling that brief moment when I thought Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan might be the same person and that they were just messing with us. Like, good one, guys.

Just listen to the rhythm of the gentle bossa nova You’ll be dancing with them too before the night is ovah (Thank you, Mrs. Friend)

I sleep and I sleep and I sleep and I sleep and I wake up and the world isn’t any better.

Everything about where I have lived since 2018 says "downtown," but I just read a headline that seems to suggest I live in "the suburbs.” You city folks over there sure do some things with words.

That white woman who angrily insisted "But Santa is white! Jesus was white!" is irredeemable.

I was a freshman at college baseball practice when the daughter of an athletic dept. staffer pulled up in a car and got out. A senior teammate said something that prompted another to say she was 16. First guy said, “If she’s old enough to drive, she’s old enough to f*ck." This was in Louisiana.

There should be a widely available record of every instance of news outlets reporting victims of trafficking as "underage girls." Bylines included. Editors named. No mercy. Stop doing this.

Regarding the files, I keep thinking about this from the movie "The Insider" about Big Tobacco.

My vertigo has come roaring back. I can’t catch a break.

There are some extraordinarily kind people here. Thank you.

My inability to use my $2,000 in FSA set-asides for my medications and the fact that I’m not getting paid even half salary anymore means I’m now overdrawn and falling into a deeper hole by the hour. I hate asking for help, but I’d appreciate anything that comes into my tip jar. Thank you. 🙏

Too tired and sore to click What are the pope’s favorite movies? Please and thank you.

I had forgotten how satisfying it was to hear the ER theme music near the beginning of each episode.

When newspapers go to fewer and fewer civic meetings because of staff cuts and also hang out less where things get discussed, they can end up knowing less than many voters do about a "little-known" candidate who consistently puts in the time, does the work and wins.

Moving and relocating is a huge pain. If you have tips for decluttering, donating, selling items, packing, and dealing with a subletter, I would love to hear them.

@flowerhorne.com, I finally wrote about this. Thank you for bringing it to my attention and for allowing me to embed part of that thread. I'm trying to come back to life, and things like this help me. Much ❤️ to you and yours. www.carlyjdubois.com/justice-sens...

When a white man is murdered by a white man we need to “come together” and make sure we show our humanity But when a Black man is murdered by a white man we know his 4th grade baking soda volcano didn’t erupt, he had a jaywalking ticket, and oh yeah let’s call him a thug who deserved it.

Hold my hand as I tell you this: When someone hurts you and they apologize you have every right to 1. Refuse to accept it 2. Question what they are apologizing for 3. Question the validity and/or sincerity of said apology. You were the person the offense happened to. You decide. YOU.

NAACP reclaiming the word “Woke” as part of African American Culture

After Eden Knight committed suicide, she was buried and memorialized by her family as a "son", since her cisgender father, Fahad Ibrahim Alshathri, had her kidnapped out of the United States to Saudi Arabia and forcibly detransitioned. How would that be recorded in suicide stats for trans people? 🔆
