Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

I smeared black pomade on my forehead when I scratched my eyebrow. Fortunately, I was at my psych clinic when I did it, so I just looked like I fit in.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

"I'm fresh off a breakup with a Big, Dumb Man" has been a helpful way to decline potential suitors. I highly recommend using it.

"It's like braaaaain"--zombie Alanis Morrisette

Naomi Watts in 21 Grams.

Both of my cats wear collars with bells on them. Sometimes it sounds like someone brought a tambourine to a cat fight.

Things I google when I can't sleep, volume 17: "did Sylvia Plath death influence changes in gas ovens" "has the lady who played serena joy remarked on erika kirk"

I have not had good BBQ since I left Arkansas. Arizona and Cali BBQ tastes sweet and/or like preservatives. If you are from Tennessee, Missouri, or Arkansas, may I please have your pulled pork recipe? Maybe I'll make sliders for Yule.

LOTR 2: Oh lord, there goes those rings again

Errbody in the club making sure to stretch first to avoid strains and pulls.

He looks like he’s trying to stop his dog from leaving him

I scolded my cat for being mean, but then I remembered I'm the same person who told my ex to join a medical research study because the fact that he survives without a heart or balls had to be groundbreaking.

I had an Ativan dream that I was on the beach with a bunch of gays in San Francisco who were like, 'yass queen, you can totally make it out here in Norcal! Manifest your dreams, baby!' Then I woke up in Arizona under a pile of blankets. Joy.

I don't know why my delivery guy wouldn't make eye contact and was in a hurry to leave: I'm just an angry girl blasting dark techno and signing an order for candles, peppers, matches, and Kraken. And pizza, cos even witches have to eat.

Just gonna throw out there, $220 and my 1 month prescription can be a three month prescription for like 3 of my meds which would help take some of the stress out of the start of new healthcare costs in 2026.

I've gotta stop being a safe harbor for people who prefer the storms.

Oh the scifi channel's marathons were epic. Probably the best run of television one could get on basic cable back in the day.

I want to watch a YouTube channel called Drunk Hexing.

There’s nothing I could say that’s funnier than “Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch reveal the discrimination they face as Cybertruck Owners”

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

Heartbreaker came over today to give me some of my stuff. He told me I was strong and resilient. "I AM strong!" I shouted. "I'm the bravest person I know! I'm fucking tired of being BRAVE! I just wanted a SAFE PLACE!"

This isn't the first time someone broke up with me because they felt inadequate. I pour myself into people who are attracted to my light but then when the shiny fades, I get discarded. I don't even like men like that...I prefer women. But he knew me before all the awfulness happened. I felt seen.

I already hated Thanksgiving, but now I hate it double. Broke up with my bf today.

Discussing Spanish/English idioms with my driver. I taught him the term "knuckle sandwich." 😊

When I was a teenager, an evangelist visiting my parents' church smacked me in the forehead with his palm and tried to push me down. I bent backward, but I pushed back until he gave up and moved on. That's how I feel about 2025.

I am lying in the dark on the couch, crying from pain. Why do I have two partners if I have to do this part all alone?

Frankie Adams, how dare you

I have been at a new job for a few weeks now. I will only be part time, due to my physical limitations, but training is five weeks of full time hours. It's killing me. I am now in a flare and have already missed two days. I'm so tired of chasing pain.

i have been in the dark for so long but oh love when my light returns when i stretch out my arms in the early sun when my wings unfold and i stand brave and bare on the edge of this cliff face when i breathe in deep and dive into the air i will shine strong like the bright raw beauty i am

I need a weighted blanket that’s a spiky steamroller

I feel like one day when I'm talking shit aloud in response to texts, my phone is going to think I'm trying to use talk to text, and send it to the person in question.

I'm waiting for my sweetie pie and asking my cat, "where's DADDY?" in my best Gollum voice.

Universal Healthcare is cheaper, more equitable and leaves no one behind. It has its flaws, but never having to worry about whether you can pay the bill is not one of them. Healthcare is a human right.

sorry i got crumbs all over your baby

Describe a character in Greek mythology the way someone trying to defend a politician would. I’ll start. Oedipus: Like you’ve never had sex with someone and regretted it later

*takes off daytime yoga pants *puts on nighttime yoga pants

Facebook suggested I follow someone whose profile said they graduated in 2001. 'Wow, that's old!' I thought. Then I remembered, I graduated in 2002.

Strangers think I have good manners, but my neighbors have heard my diet Pepsi burps.

Me, washing my own dishes: 'How many bowls ARE there? You soup and oatmeal-lovin' weirdo!'

🥺 : mango season is over 🙂 : crochet season has begun

I have a remicade infusion this morning, which means I'll be fighting IV benadryl to stay awake. Please recommend action packed things to watch on amazon! Maybe HBO. I'll have 3 hours to kill.

A thing I enjoy doing that annoys Seb is pointing out the pregnancy warnings on bottles of alcohol and saying "Wow. I can't believe they said no fat chicks."

Btw Ireland rocks

This day requires tea and Jock Jams.

Some days, I'm Frodo. Some days, I'm Rosie Cotton. Today, I'm Gollum.

I haven't shared my babies in a bit.

The work of feeling safe in my own skin is neverending. I am tired.

Help, I overcommitted to a swanky perfume and now I have to stank like it all day *wails*
