you ever pick up your phone to do one specific thing, unlock it, and immediately become a medieval peasant staring into the void wondering what year it is.

one thing about me: i’d rather be remembered as “that employee who helped everybody out” than “a real stickler for policy.”

My kids shouldn’t have to study history to recognize rights they should be living inside. That’s the whole reason I’m voting.

i need economists to explain why disabled people are expected to survive on starvation income while billionaires get subsidies and tax breaks

people think “i would’ve seen the signs” but the signs don’t all show up at once they show up slowly, over time

Folks keep asking why people are angry. Maybe because corporations own everything, young people can’t afford land, and every town’s got three dollar stores and no damn future. Anyway. Read this. https://loom.ly/6F8iNXc

I’ve got a complicated brain when it comes to accepting help. Working on it in real time. What is simple: I write, you read. If you want to support that, subscriptions keep the lights on. If not, I’ll comp you. No one gets left out. https://loom.ly/S_WLjl8

Human beings really looked at soup and said “what if we made the food wetter.” Innovative species.

i think more adults should use their skills to create harmless little pockets of wonder. not everything has to scale. not everything has to monetize. sometimes the assignment is just “make somebody’s week.”

I cannot even

"women need to lower their standards." the standards: wash your own dishes. know your children's birthdays. believe women deserve basic human rights.

If you’re avoiding political posting because you don’t wanna hear from your loud uncle, have you considered you might actually be one of the few people capable of changing his mind? The algorithm sure as hell won’t do it.

A lot of us aren’t confused about what happened. We’re navigating the fallout of systems that required our confusion. Family denial, cultural excuses, political spin—it all blends together until your own clarity feels like rebellion instead of just accuracy.

We lost a real one when we lost Steve Irwin

I keep coming back to this idea that my kids shouldn’t have to fight just to maintain what I was told was baseline. That’s the simplest version of it. I vote like I’m trying to keep them from starting further back than I did.

Modern poverty is realizing you technically make “too much” for assistance while actively losing a fight against toothpaste prices.

Straight fact

Why Vote Democrat: Investment in public goods including transportation, broadband, housing, and clean energy.

Some of y’all followed me for politics but at this point this account is also: • labor rights • late night existentialism • mutual aid • “hey that headline seems suspicious” • making complicated systems make sense • occasional dumb jokes for morale Pull up a chair.

“you have so much potential” thanks unfortunately my connective tissue has other plans

i think a lot of “impostor syndrome” is just surviving years of being told your struggles weren’t real enough to count

“Why does my feed keep showing me nonsense?” Because it thinks nonsense is what keeps you there. Here’s how to change that. https://loom.ly/TMeh0LE

every giant miserable system still has regular people inside it slipping little bits of mercy through the cracks.

If your neighborhood food bank has to open its books, explain its spending, follow labor law, and avoid political campaigning to keep nonprofit status… why shouldn’t a multimillion-dollar church empire? Nobody is talking about banning religion. We’re talking about ending special treatment.

There’s a strange loneliness in realizing you don’t share a common read of what’s stable anymore. I keep asking myself if I’m being alarmist or just… observant. Where are others landing on that?

there’s a universe where that sentence keeps going “this is something… we would never do”

The same culture warning girls about “giving it up” rarely warned boys against coercion, stalking, violence, manipulation, or entitlement. Funny how that worked.

From coast to coast, the ultra-left is on a quest to take over the Democratic Party https://nypost.com/2026/05/23/opinion/scenes-from-the-hard-lefts-takeover-of-the-democratic-party/

Gen X here. We were told things would keep getting better. Instead I’m watching protections reverse like someone hit rewind on progress and called it innovation.

Got a relative who thinks commenting on their post is “starting drama.” My sibling in christ, that is literally the intended functionality of the website.

A lot of voters genuinely thought “America 1st” meant: * no endless wars * exposing elite corruption * breaking billionaire influence * govt accountability Now they’re watching one of the loudest voices on those exact issues get politically executed by his own side. That disconnect matters.

My kid asked why adults drink coffee every morning and I almost answered “because consciousness arrives before hope.”

accountability isn’t one-sided

Duh…I wonder why they view Socialism in a positive light…

The funniest scam patriarchy ever pulled was convincing women our anger was the problem instead of asking what kept creating it.

There used to be a strong connection between the state & fed govt in getting people off the street, but the Trump admin is fully last stage of capitalism "you're on your own"

Feels like we’re watching both parties slowly realize the public is way less interested in old ideological talking points and way more interested in: • corruption • insider trading • war profiteering • Epstein connections • billionaires gaming the system People are tired of feeling played.

you don’t have to prove your worth by suffering harder. take the break. then come back steady.

I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hate to say this, but, he's right.

Every time a woman says “I’m just over it,” there’s usually a thirty-year bibliography behind that sentence.

Misogyny depends on exhausting women before they discover their own power. That’s why they start training girls young to be agreeable, apologetic, accommodating, grateful for crumbs, and afraid of being called mean.

You ever been so poor you clicked on MyPoints emails for Walgreen gift cards to buy toilet paper?

Misogyny is wild because men will spend 40 years emotionally constipated then accuse women of being “too emotional” because we noticed the vibe changed in a room.

Usually, I'm pretty good at accepting my lot in life. But sometimes, I randomly see something like wrought iron swirl transoms & arched windows as transoms & checkerboard tile & you know what, ngl, that shit's swank.
