I took a walk this evening and this little grey cat was sitting on the sidewalk. He flopped over and let me rub his belly when I leaned down to pet him. I know it sounds silly, but it's been a tough weekend and that interaction really helped.

I found out today that my cousin's 15 year-old son died of pneumonia early this morning. I'm still processing the horrible loss of someone so young. It makes no sense.

I just learned that one of my roommates--also a Millennial--has never seen The Emperor's New Groove in its entirety? How???

The funny thing about this is that the film flopped--DESPITE their retooling it to remove "controversial" elements.

NEW DAY

you, in another decade 2006, baby!

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

I Saw the TV Glow is currently free to watch on YouTube. One of the most impactful movies I've ever seen. Would recommend

My only thought about the whole Timothée Chalamet thing is that sometimes famous people say really stupid things.

Stop being a little freak and treating politicians like celebrities. Their job is literally for you to constantly yell at them and tell them what to do.

This skeet is sponsored by my trip to the Easter canyon aisle at Walmart tonight.

Gosh everything really is *so* expensive right now.

Americans *really* need to stop putting politicians on pedestals. It's partially how we ended up with Trump (along with a healthy dose of poor civics education and white supremacy).

We saw you from across the bar and was wondering if you would still love us

Flat earth children's books is a four word horror story

I could really use a win in my personal life, tbh

One of my coworkers brought her cat to work again, and the cat is just peacefully sleeping on different people's desks throughout the day. 😻

I love how right wing American Christianity has basically become “What if we did The Bible, but only the parts where we get to stone people we don’t like?”

Hey, any historians want to tell Fortune what happens to the billionaires if you don’t fix the income inequality through peaceful methods like taxation?

I wish there was some way we could summon up the collective outrage of the summer of 2020 without, you know, a global pandemic and a bunch of murderous cops.

it's almost Friday!

Shuffling Kristi Noem from government job to government job like she’s a Catholic priest in the 80s

the two poles of existence:

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

it's almost Friday!

Longstanding ethical and theological debates over war, the appropriate use of violence, and various approaches to justice notwithstanding: That's not how human rights work.

Obviously there are a lot of very evil people in conservative politics right now, but the one who still takes my breath away with her boldness is Chaya Raichik (aka the Libs of TikTok lady).

(using the end slices of a loaf of bread) i'm so brave

Girl…you literally have to put your records on. Girl pleeeeease put your records on. The records? Girl… put them ON.

I'm going to be really annoyed if the end credits of my life doesn't feature a Bollywood-style dance number.

Them: Who would you be in the Star Wars universe? Me:

stop the world I want to get off

hot take, but yes

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

I believe in you! Now if only I could start believing in myself. 😅

They could never make me hate you.

I don't need history to judge, I am judging rn

I found myself randomly thinking about Ariana DeBose's BAFTA rap today. Like, yeah Angela Bassett really DID do the thing. In case you ever wondered what it's like inside my head.

"Hey babe, have you seen the remote?" "No. Have you checked under Dru?" Dru:

if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately

Just saw a sage green cybertruck. Still ugly.

Life update: I slept really, really well last night.

Once again: it's never okay to be antisemitic! This should not be hard!
