If sitting eight hours a day is the new cancer, then what is sleeping eight hours a night?

This land is your land, this land is my land. It’s gay and straight and trans, black and white and every color between, it’s native and immigrant. It’s everyone’s. Don’t let America be taken for you. Don’t let others define who is allowed to fly your freak flag and be an American!

Walk hawk.

Sometimes your vacation is your neighbors going on vacation.

The new mustache era is making all the young guys look like 70s gay porn stars but it’s a hot look and I approve. 👀

Did you know you can stream Bonnaroo on Hulu?

Do you think reading among the younger generations will go the way of Latin?

Happy to see All This Can Be True as a Pride staff pick at the Thousands Oaks Library! If this is your location, they have it on the shelf and as a ebook!

It’s a Tusk kind of Sunday.

I’m here tonight to unlock your memory about those little square onions on McDonald’s cheeseburgers. If you remember them, you are my people.

I wrote a personal essay about learning to love my body later in life through dancing (specifically Zumba), something that used to terrify me, but I’m having trouble finding places to submit to, as it’s not exactly literary but it’s not a self-help listicle, either. Any suggestions? :) TY!!

Today I learned the 7-11 in Encinitas plays opera on their outside speakers to keep unhoused people away but I think it sounds lovely so I’m confused?

How you can tell Someone is with their partner at Costco:

If you remember the dBs, you’re very old (but very cool).

I like the very specific but also vague brand name of my ankle weights.

How about into my savings account?

Why can’t crypto bros read normal- flake books like The Celestine Prophecy?

Choose your fighter

Does Adobe Acrobat suck, or do I suck?

Hoping for the best…

Hmm. A “6 month physical” followed by cancelling a trip to Camp David because of… *checks notes* scattered thunderstorms. Sure, sure.

I have decided on the song I want played at my funeral (not that it’s imminent, to my knowledge, but you never want to be surprised from the afterlife).

If you search for "Jerry Lawson" in Google, and click the green cartridge that comes up, you'll get a "game console" with multiple games you can play (hit the Home button to choose a different "cartridge") and edit. Neat!

One of my biggest causes of anxiety is getting motion-activated faucets in restrooms to work.

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

The main difference between the Bible and To Kill a Mockingbird is that when someone calls To Kill a Mockingbird their favorite book, they’ve probably read it.

A rainy morning with no commitments and you think I’m going to do chores? Go fuck yourself

Best description I’ve read of dogs: “little unemployed roommates with anxiety and raw athletic talent”—although I think the last part should be amended to “enthusiasm about athletics; skill and coordination may vary.”

My only question about Tulsi Gabbard is will the White House keep all 101 of the Dalmatians?

I'll tell ya something I will vote for the Democratic candidate who promises to go after corruption and hound these people til the day they die. Bonus points if he/she tells the first reporter who asks them about "unity" to fuck off.

So when do they turn into fig newtons?

"My mother is an unbuttoned coat on the first warm day of spring. Wind whips her hair as she leans out the top-storey window and tosses fistfuls of clothes into the air." Big love for this gem by @dawnwriter.bsky.social in @jmwwjournal.bsky.social 💙💙💙 jmwwblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/13/f...

Wished the grocery clerk happy Mother’s Day and she said last year she wished some guy a happy Father’s Day and when he told her he wasn’t a father, she said, “Oh, I’m sure you’ve fathered some children along the way” but she meant mentor, so don’t worry someone out there is more awkward than you.

My toxic trait is asking my partner the location of a possession I lost track of a month before, although I admit it has a 99% success rate.

I visited my Vietnamese relatives this weekend and we ate banh mi sandwiches twice and I’m the happiest girl in the world.
