is it just me or does being a daughter, mother, sister, partner, friend, employee, community member, volunteer, while keeping a clean home, clean body, healthy, saving for the future, fixing current problems, managing schedules, finding joy but also rest, feel like too much for every single day?

Currently doing a tele-town hall with Missouri voters and it's been fascinating to see how many people are calling in to say they're Republicans and they're furious at their party. A few have said we need a third party. Several have said they're angry at medicaid cuts but also at ICE deportations

hey i just met you and this is crazy but wealthy pedos are eating babies

no to antidepressants, yes to skin cancer: we're not here to tell you how to live your life, we just want to help you end it

uh oh had a moment of seeing the world clearly entirely as it is and likely what will be and now the horrors are in my bones and I can't move

I want so badly to enjoy the met gala as a display of interpretive art, but since most attendees either can not understand or willfully ignore the gala's theme, I am forced to view it as simply a horror of wealth

May the fourth be with you

the winners of the kentucky derby should get to go to the met gala; not the owners, the horses

congrats to all of the pulitzer winners; a prize I believe you earned, but one I wish had a greater pool of competition

Today, the day of the Met Gala, the unionized workers of the Met posted this image to their Instagram. www.instagram.com/p/DX64ioYjecG/

star wars spinoff set entirely in the salon where princess leia gets her hair done

This really is it.

richard dawkins has always had AI psychosis, it just took till now for the tech to catch up

Oh hey thanks for the invite but I bought a bag of potato chips to bring to an event later this week so my weekend is completely full thinking about how I currently possess but am not yet supposed to eat those potato chips.

That’s quite a chart www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

listen to @boxofficegross.bsky.social to learn which of these lines has its own 500 word essay on Wikipedia and which one @mauraquint.bsky.social thinks is the actually good one

To be clear as day, this is, of course, absolutely intentional. It has happened with every Republican president of my lifetime (with the notable exception of HW Bush). It's what the GOP does. www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-...

Yeah the rotisserie chicken amendment is neat! Unfortunately it was attached to the Farm Bill which locked in $187 billion in cuts to SNAP. So, yes, now SNAP can be used for rotisserie chickens but more importantly, this bill means red tape, cuts & tons of people losing access to food completely.

Why do Maura and I watch this? Because over the years, no Hallmark movie/show has been more requested than the g-rated time-traveling pond version of Outlander where three generations of selfish people jump aquatically through time like idiots and screw each other up even more, and that's important.

Like a local serial killer with poor follow through, @mauraquint.bsky.social joins us, and is USING THE POND. Also: Mom's time-travel emotional vampirism, jamming to Sister Hazel, pizza selfishness, ALANIS and getting Long Pond Syndrome from lurking in open barns. Smell a shirt, it's Y2K party time!

I don't want confrontation! I want to close my eyes and skip around tossing flower petals and pretending we're all living on a goddamned cloud but no I have to address issues and call out problems directly because it's the right thing to do and now I have a stupid stressed out STOMACHACHE

there’s still almost 20 Republicans left to vote, but unless Johnson flips 4 of the 7 current no votes, the rule letting debate start on the FISA extension, farm bill, and Senate-passed budget bill to fund ICE/Border Patrol is cooked

They killed the Voting Rights Act today. Let's stop giving them our fucking money. Join the May Day Eve Cancel Party tomorrow and stop giving so many of your dollars to right wing billionaires. www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

SCOTUS rules that intentional discrimination required to find race discrimination under VRA, which is nearly impossible to prove. This will weaken VRA to point of irrelevance. Though Alito wrote majority opinion John Roberts has been trying to gut VRA for 40+ years since he worked in Reagan DOJ

billionaires are job creators who have worked hard to get where they are and deserve a fair shot. elon musk cares about people and is an innovator and seeing an image of him does not physically repulse me and make me want to vomit into my shoes. please put me on this jury.

just had the conscious thought "it's been a while since I've had to go to an urgent care" which means we're now one week away from me having to go to an urgent care

me: violence is never the answer my detox herbal teabag:

I guess it's cool that Cinderella got some of the mice to chip in some work but let's be clear, that was an infestation, girl, clean your home.

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

@mauraquint.bsky.social apropos of nothing, I was reading an old Casey Johnston article which contained this tweet of yours and I laughed my ass off

"We found that 76% of the men we reviewed are professionally active, 41% are in the same or an elevated role since the allegations were made public, and only two of the 70 were incarcerated in prison." @mauraquint.bsky.social shared this with @petedominick.bsky.social last week. Read & listen.

Dems can't even radicalize themselves.

FOLKS, a MILLION GIRLS would KILL to guest on this episode of @boxofficegross.bsky.social! We were honored to be joined by the great @mauraquint.bsky.social to discuss THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA in the days leading up to the release of its legacy follow-up! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

Unfortunately a bunch of Dems are going to make a lot of noise about toning down the rhetoric when they should be holding up a mirror to Republicans and reminding them of who is actually generating the violent rhetoric. (You don’t hear any Republicans calling for bipartisanship and comity do you? )

I know you shouldn't compare your progress to anyone else's but I have to admit it doesn't feel great that I couldn't even write 100 words this weekend when other people finished entire manifestos

Seems reasonable, think about everything that the attendees needed to deliberately ignore in order to show up in the first place

meh. some lol. but mostly, meh.

What happened? The entire Whitehouse Press Corp is there…so we’ll never know.

if the entire white house correspondence dinner disappeared into the void, not one single objective observation or critical insight would be lost

The grind never sleeps. The hardest working entertainers in show business are back at it again. Except Ron. with special guest @mauraquint.bsky.social

there's an instrumental version of an indie aughts song playing at my yoga class, now I know how aging punks in grocery stores feel

Just wanted to say a very big thank you to everyone who has bought a t-shirt. This last month has been really rough, mentally, financially, and otherwise, and you've helped make it a little less precarious.

I don't live in Maine so I've just been sort of watching this whole race from a distance and this is not me taking a stance now, just sharing that when I talk to the long-time Maine organizers that I know, stuff like this is why they've been supporting Platner.

currently seeking angel investors for my early-stage start-up focused on creating tech that gives whales and elephants the opportunity to work together

posting like a strung-out teenager newly obsessed with a fandom. limit his phone access to tumblr and mcdonalds delivery.

It just defies comprehension that the world's richest man is literally a hitlerian figure, got to illegally commandeer the US govt for months and condemn millions to excruciating death, and then just fucked off to make jokes about "show orphans" on podcasts with zero consequences. The mind recoils
