Someone needs to tell the American people what's going on in the Pentagon, and it obviously won't be Pete Hegseth, who is at war with America's senior military officers. My latest: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

We goin!

Prepping for protest march tomorrow.

What a day ahead.

Trump’s Plan A was to hit Iran hard, watch the theocrats flee, and then hand power to a government of his own choosing. Should such things not come to pass, Plan B was … well, apparently, there was no Plan B. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

@shinyroo.bsky.social So 82 concerts in the next 357 days…I can’t wait.

I wish my mom were alive. She had a thing for sailors and boy bands right up until age 93. She would have loved this!

Who wore it better? Red Cowboy Hat Edition Me or Taehyung? Just kidding, it’s Taehyung always.

First impression: This is regime change, lots of ways for it to go wrong, a few it could go right, but at huge risk: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Oh

Finally.

I’m having one of those days. I’ll let Taehyung speak for me. lol

V of BTS Friday I’m celebrating “Don’t Mess With Tae Day.” Please share a favorite Taehyung song and/or photo. One of my all-time favorite songs is Singularity. I think this photo says “you can’t handle me.”

Where, oh where, is my order? Overdue by ten days.

Literary Birthday Richard Brautigan 1/30/1935 - 9/16/1984 I also am drinking coffee, reading a new book and waiting for the winter to end with my sprained wrist and bruised ribs.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

OK, I’m really freaking over this cold and snow and ice… just over it. That is all. 😒😆

Sad

Literary Birthday George Gordon Byron 1/22/1788 - 4/19/1824

Shoveling snow and listening to Spring Day on zero sleep. Living the dream for real.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

I’d sue.

Good morning to Kim Taehyung and no one else.

Happy Birthday Taehyung🎉

Misery. But I made it. I’m killing it!

I have a new coworker who discovered my Taehyung fixation. She gifted me a calendar, a personalized journal, Layover box set, a really nice puzzle, a Korean phrase book, a bunch of hair ties (because I lent her one once), and a ton of candy. I’m not worthy of this. I gave her a Tirtir lip gloss.

Oh my…

And just like that, we’re tipping the other way… Happy Solstice

The sun came out today for the first time in a long time.

This beautiful silky scarf just showed up in my mailbox today. No note or indication of the sender. Was it one of my lovely Bluesky friends? To whom it may concern, thank you so much. I’ll wear it in good health! *it’s wrinkled from transit not a defect.
