trump is, first and foremost, a starfucker

*sniveling twerp voice* My Novel,

the tenuous, almost sickening thrill of having my first big crush on a new person in years and years

ideally, i would like to not read it, but still know what everyone is talking about and also have something funny and perhaps even trenchant to say on the matter. wish me luck!

something oddly comforting to me post-breakup has been the realization that the purity and simplicity of my own love for him is now irretrievable. even if, even if! something good is just gone forever; any renewal or reiteration would be curdled and inferior

had an absolutely life-affirming girls night after canceling a date i didn’t want to go on!

are men okay??? after i politely called things off after ONE DATE

the ruth asawa exhibition at MOMA is absolutely amazing

the bad breakup thought rattling around this week: how strange to have once believed there was a moment from which i began knowing you, and then always would for the rest of my life

Forgive me if I don't believe that it's sex in media and gay and trans people who are corrupting and destroying children considering the source is the "borderline illiterate pedophiles club"

took too long reading “monstrilio” for it to still be within spooky season, but luckily it’s become thematically appropriate again with everyone frankenstein-posting

yes, i know my brain is just permanently paradise lost-pilled, but also this latest JCO burn is so “the mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven”-coded. you’ll always be somewhere miserable because YOU yourself are a miserable bitch!

it’s not like i expected any better, but it is still galling every time some particularly craven contingent of democrat quisling cowards rolls over to show their yellow bellies and fucks us all over even harder

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

As far as I'm concerned, the case against working to change the Democratic Party from within through electoral politics collapsed with Mamdani's win last Tuesday. Doesn't mean the left will inevitably win or that it won't be a grueling struggle. But ... I mean, come on.

just over two months since my relationship of almost a decade ended, and i still keep running into habits with broken chain links: taking an autopilot picture of something to share then realizing i won’t send it, thinking of a joke he’d love and remembering i won’t tell it to him, stuff like that

tried to be a 365 party girl and succumbed to the agonies (hangover anxiety, exhaustion, dehydration) after only 5

i’ve been doing a minimum of 15 minutes of home pilates per day post-breakup (for the endorphins), and i’m still incredibly sad, but at least my abs are absolutely sickening

the “queer 20somethings at the all things go music festival” was already a pretty secure mamdani demographic, turns out

📍 foley square, earlier this evening

one third of new yorkers are foreign-born immigrants. these are *our neighbors* being brutalized, treated as less than human, and disappeared. we need to show up for our neighbors and tell ICE *they* are the ones who are not welcome in our city.

being single for the first time in [redacted] years means sending so many more inane thought texts to all of my friends. sorry, my usual stupidity shunt valve is permanently decommissioned

just the thrill of remembering, viscerally, that it can and will happen, and when it does I will be somewhere, and someone will tell me, or I'll read it, or I'll hear shouting outside. the day draws closer

i think i probably would have written “happy birthday, big guy! hope your year is filled with laughter and love”

saw the new superman movie in theaters and was immediately infected with the woke mind virus. also suspect the popcorn to have been made with seed oils

hatred uses you hard and puts you away wet, i guess

SCOOP: disingenuous bootlicking hack acts as mouthpiece for eugenicist, gets rightfully ratio’d

From a journalistic ethics standpoint. whoever permitted this should lose their job.

SCOOP: Mamdani did something even we are forced to concede wasn't what it we are also making it sound like, to no tangible gain, for a college he didn't go to, 15 years ago. Our anonymous source is political activist Adolf Hitler

brad lander is both cool as hell and the kind of civil servant who feels almost mythical in this jaded age: one who advocates for the powerless, who doesn’t compromise his principles in the face of enormous pressure, who sacrifices personal glory for the collective good

if anyone else wants to call senator gillibrand’s office: ☎️ (202) 224-4451 personally, i urged her to resign if she’s incapable of representing her constituents (including 750,000+ muslim nyc residents!) without prejudice

my partner wrote a really measured, thoughtful script for me to use to call senator gillibrand’s office to register my disappointment in her recent comments about zohran mamdani. naturally, i instantly went rogue

gotta say, Brad Lander's really walked the walk in these past weeks and it's not something I'll soon forget

i’m so proud to be a new yorker today, and hopeful about the future for the first time in a long while. the working class CAN defeat the ruling class without compromising their beliefs. a better world IS possible!

i am allowing myself to fully inhabit and appreciate this moment of hope and joy. i don’t have to start fretting about what comes next just yet. right now, this is good!

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

"Good fucking riddance," Lander says of Andrew Cuomo, who was trailing behind Zohran Mamdani tonight

the thing making me so simultaneously hopeful and agonizingly anxious is that i truly LOVE this city and my fellow new yorkers. we deserve a mayor who represents OUR interests, not bought-and-paid-for cuomo.

"Mamdani lacks experience in sexually assaulting women," Bill Clinton said, explaining his endorsement of Andrew Cuomo. 1

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

a persuasive data point for people who leaving MSNBC blaring in their living rooms all day

i take back saying i was tired of living through unprecedented history

helluva lotta respect for brad lander. the ICE gestapo needs to be abolished

unfortunately, since reading paradise lost for the first time in 2023, my special interest has been literally satan. but relatedly, i did get some cool new art today

came home from a walk and took my sweater off, and flower petals fell out of my hair. I LOVE SPRINGTIME!! friendship with seasonal depression ENDED

i got like 8 books behind my goodreads goal in march, but officially caught back up as of last night. this accomplishment has inflicted severe psychic and social damage on me

every springtime, i go outside and am like “this is the happiest i’ve ever felt in my entire life” while violently sneezing and spraying assorted mucuses into the air
