Every time I make the taco seasoning I think it’s sooooo pretty! Reminds me of the sand art from when I was a kid.

“Apologies to future me,” I whisper as I throw boots and snow pants and winter coats down the basement stairs. 10pm cleaning comes at a cost.

Oh my GOD King County Public Health is just wilding out for Valentines Day (and a lovely one).

Writing a novel about a demon with your foot dangling off the edge of the bed really adds to the tension, let me tell you what.

My husband: You’re packing granola bars? Might want to check tsa to see if you can bring them. Me: Thanks babe, turns out I can bring them *and* a live lobster depending on the airline!

Trying to convince myself, someone who does *not* use highlighters, that I don’t need to pack five for my writing retreat. That could be two more snack bars!

Just like with Kilmer Abrego Garcia, the biggest sin any targeted immigrant can commit is winning battles — legal or PR battles — against the government, and they just won’t let those losses go

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Okay, Holly Goldberg Sloan, I’m trying to read this book in public and not cry but you have me over here tearing up! #Short

Because some people in my household don’t mind if the cat licks our food and some very much do.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

My stepdad hooked up an antenna and I’m finally watching a Lions game. And quite the game too!

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Homemade taco seasoning, so pretty!!

Nothing like listening to NPR and hearing someone say, “I think you have to look at the sandwich throwing in context”.

[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

hear me out here, what if none of it is a 'distraction' and they're just doing a lot of horrible shit simultaneously

Slow but steady writing today at the coffee shop

My fitness app telling me to go have a snack? I think? 🫠

Ahh, my comfort read

PARIS (AP) — French President Macron announces that France will recognize Palestine as a state.

My four bean plants each grew one bean!!

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

actually a lot of innocent people write birthday letters to child sex traffickers in which they repeatedly reference the secrets they share

Writing with the husband games. I got to pet a dog!

A+ work "know your meme" website, I needed this one for the book I'm writing.

“Alligator Alcatraz” will begin operations on Wednesday. This is your reminder that a prison without due process is a concentration camp.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

My favorite horror movie quote? “Mom? I think I barfed out my expander.” Oh wait did I say movie? My bad, that just happened.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

“We can stop by the bookstore but I’m not getting anything for me” Lies, all lies.

but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine

If Planet Fitness charged a fee to all the people who camp on the machines in the 30 minute circuit room they could pay for a new “fuck around and sit on the machines” room and I could do my workout in peace.

Sometimes the urge to tell the scammers all the things they are doing incorrectly is SO STRONG!! (I live in Michigan, we don’t call it the DMV)

I ran my first 5k in years (first since knee surgery) and did pretty well! 40:35 I’m also proud of myself for asking the person I kept running near if she wanted to be my race buddy and we ran together which made it extra fun!

I’m visiting a friend in northern Michigan so we are off to the Hidden Nook Bookstore. Happy Independent Bookstore Day!!

Nothing like almost signing off an email with Jelly to get the heart racing at the end of a long day!

The male bluejays are sharing seeds from the bird feeder and it’s adorable.

Nothing like texting with writer friend group chat to solve a WIP problem and shit gets fixed. Thanks @incensepunk.com!

ChatGPT consumes so much water and energy each week that it could power entire countries for YEARS and folk act like you told them to kill their selves cause you want them to write their own emails and not to steal art. 😂

Such a good man to say thank you and the end of everything.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
