I know it’s juvenile and naive to want some savior figure to come along and get us out of this, but seeing some examples of… waves hands in the air… possibility(?) would be helpful. Just a SHRED of leadership or inspiration, as a treat.

Anyone else think he also just wanted a cool photo like of Obama watching the Osama BL mission from the situation room? The ballroom at MAL with black fabric draping while toppling a sovereign leader was as close as he could get.

In hindsight it was a bad idea to put a child molester with dementia in charge of everything. That’s our bad. That one’s on us

Living in this country feels like being a kid in the back seat of a car while your drunk uncle drives into a tree.

We haven’t been “the good guys” in a long time (arguably… ever). But it’s a strange feeling to bluntly, openly, publicly be “the bad guys.”

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Why won’t my zoomer kids walk around a store or mall alone? They’re very independent otherwise. When I was a kid, we all split up and then showed parents which things we wanted to lobbying for later. Weird.

Claire really is insufferable. #pluribus

I got “out-of-pocket.” I think that’s good? #old

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

If you’re astrology-curious like me, here’s the quick version: January, especially 6-10th (I think?), get shit done, plan plans, lay groundwork, GO!!!

Lol. Me and my husband have this debate every time. (I’m the youngin 💅🏼

🎯 I think this of all childcare interference. State of Indiana told state employees they can “bring their newborn to work” after killing WFH. Gee, I wonder who that’s likely to inconvenience to the point they just quit?!

Last night I dreamed I was traveling through a busy train station in socks, which apparently means in dream symbology that I need to change my debauched holiday habits, lol.

Preemptively saying that, while committed to Dry January, I reserve a free day if we somehow get The Good News during the month. I’ve been saving a special bottle of wine for the occasion!

Unplug this country and let’s try again.

Hard not to look at the last 3 elections + current events and not conclude we are simply a nation of, at best, ignorant and lazy people. Or at worst, racist misogynists. Either way, we’re getting what we* deserve. *does not include minority voters / vulnerable people at the mercy of the shit show

I met Kevin Bacon, due to a speech I gave comparing my career progression to the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. I literally summoned him.

Side note: Bought Jonathan Van Ness curly hair creme and really like it! Usually cream is too heavy for my fine texture, but this isn’t heavy at all. (Second day hair pictured).

Here’s to 2026

I think my new holiday break movie tradition is the 3 Benoit Blanc Knives Out movies. All entertaining and you catch funny details with every watch. And Benoit’s fashion alone #swoon

I basically pinkie sweared a blood oath with a much cooler youth tonight that we would both have 100 pages of a book drafted by July. HALP!!!

Made my family play euchre today and we tapped into a Midwestern resonance so deep, it felt a little sacred.

Officially ready for Christmas to be over. -signed, Overwhelmed (emotionally, physically, financially, spiritually, logistically, in every sense) Parent

My boss elected to do my annual performance review on Christmas Eve, which… was not something I’d like to repeat next year. :/

Christmas Eve. Wishing you a quiet moment tonight...where the noise fades...the weight lifts...and you remember you’re not alone. Whatever this year took from you...may tonight give something back: warmth...grace...and the simple relief of hope.

Definitely read this as “pillow fart.” #KerningMatters

I like that my neighborhood has lots of mature trees, but also get tired of encountering gruesome bunny dissections (and trying to keep my dogs away from them) from all the red tailed hawks 🤢

Real talk: Have you sent a drink or food order back simply because you didn’t like it? Even if made correctly? Midwesterner ethos: Order something you don’t like, that’s on you.

Oh no… Mine were either Home Alone or Ghost…

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

I’m at the combination Pizza Hut and Kennedy Center.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

Guys, I have an opportunity dropped in my lap that I feel completely inadequate for. Halp?

Seems the most recent post is turning a lot of people off.

Put it on every local news station until everyone sees what we’re doing. I hope these people get a trial by their peers and watch what they did in slow-motion.

I have a specific bottle of wine set aside to celebrate the day we get the news, but I’m starting to think that’s not enough. Maybe I should enclose it in a glass case, with an ornate ceremonial hammer? Something to intensify the celebration.

gawdamn

Please run again. I know, I know, there were flaws. But he would set some shit right.

Again ⤵️⤵️⤵️

I’ve been saying this: IN legislators did not reject redistricting because of sudden spine growth, but because they know we are more purple than anyone will admit and they’re balancing on a pin head. @thebulwark.com @adamwren.bsky.social @meidastouch.com @dailybeanspod.com

This is the Upside Down.

Can’t tell if this is a continuous passage or a random selection of sentences. Hoping it’s the latter?

Mad that the 🍊’s son-in-law is a few years younger than I am, therefore I’ll have to hear about his corruption and his children’s inevitable tomfuckery for the rest of my life.

Was listening to the @yourewrongabout.bsky.social episode about Santa and wondered for the thousandth time, “What if just one of our cultural authorities had been a woman?” But probably on purpose, so…

Sometimes I think my motivation to write an incredible book will be: 1) Spite for the parents in my tony suburb who ignore me 2) To maybe, hopefully, someday, get interviewed by and become friends with @amypoehler.bsky.social Is that petty? Probably. #booksky

“No oNe woUld carE about Luigi if hE wEren’t so hot.” Lol, welcome to being a mammal.
