What kind of asshole still supports a politician after it becomes glaringly obvious they’re a pedophile?

Stop asking billionaires questions, recording their answers and sharing their uninformed and/or racist and/or otherwise bigoted and nonsense ideas as journalism. It’s ridiculous. They are the most boring people. Oh wah I am a white man who has more money than I can spend and I’m so mad about it!

Leaning into the freedom of summer…How do the different seasons impact your creative endeavors?

What I’ve been reading lately. How about you? ❤️📚

The delay is deliberate. It’s strategy. Let’s make sure it absolutely backfires on them.

It’s been a brutal day for anyone with a moral compass or empathy. I felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin so I put on my sneakers, leashed the pup and headed to park. No podcast, no music, no audiobook. Just some peace. Peace of trees. Peace of water. Peace of movement. Peace of breath.

She looks positively haunted by her vote. As she should. It should haunt her for the rest of her life. Even Susan F*cking Collins did the right thing for once.

I am floundering. I searched for tips on revising a novel and came across this spreadsheet based on the snowflake method. It’s helping me carve out some clarity. Onward! Share any novel revising tips. I haven’t yet outlined anything. I am generally a pantser who later turns toward plotter🤷‍♀️

My heart❤️ One of the main reasons I don’t sink into a pit of absolute despair and depression every single day 🥺

As a rule I avoid commenting on anyone’s appearance but I am so sick to death of Kardashian Mar-a-Lago face. The aspirational conformity of the plastic surgery work is a whole form of violent oppression as farmed out to the masses, and particularly young women. No one needs a fucking lip flip.

Read this in the latest issue of “Writer’s Digest.” Needed to read her take on writing amidst chaos. Words are healing. The right words reach me exactly when I need them. Words are magic.

I have to say yes or no to my writing every single day. Maybe days are a hard pass.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

This is an absolutely critical read. Please take a few minutes and do so. www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-...

Marissa Rothkopf @marissarothkopf.bsky.social shared this green sauce recipe on her Substack a year ago—before The Contrarian even existed. It’s simple, adaptable, and turns even the dullest dinner into something worth craving. Try it yourself:

I love a good reframe!

Exactly.

China made ZERO concessions and American consumers will still have to pay a 30% import tax, driving up prices. It’s just the latest proof that Trump is a TERRIBLE negotiator.

Excellent question. What the fuck ARE we doing?

Lovely way to end a lovely day💕

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

AOC: This administration — and Noem — spits on the American flag every time they engage in that nonsense. So I don’t want to hear anything about “America First.” These people, and this administration, are putting America last by acting like their allegiance is to a man instead of the Constitution.

A convicted criminal who has had endless trials wants to make it so he can imprison or kill anyone he wants without a trial.

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

This was inspired by one sentence in Suleika Jaouad’s beautiful memoir “Between Two Kingdoms.”

The conman who was forced to shut down his fake "university" because its operation was consumer fraud, is trying to undermine America's oldest, most prestigious, legitimate university through an abuse of presidential power.

Every day, a new reason to despise this asshole. Every. Day.

How insane that I saw this and thought how horrifying and yep, that tracks before seeing it was The Onion🤦‍♀️🥺

A lil bit of joy! She loves all water: puddles, ponds, lakes. But not a bath which she needs once a week🤦‍♀️

Sometimes I still feel like a little girl, scared to do something wrong. Even after everything I’ve built, I forget my own worth. This is me remembering — and maybe it helps you remember too. #StopShrinking #TakeUpSpace #SelfWorth #NeurodivergentWomen #HealingInPublic #SpeakYourTruth #YouBelongHere

Another notebook filled with morning pages: dreams + desires, anger + anxiety, the mundane + profound 💕

Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.

Holy shit you guys. This ad for Iowa Senate candidate Nathan Sage is f’ng fire. A Marine mechanic raised in a trailer park is about to send Trump humping toady Joni Ernst back to castrating hogs. And we can help him do it. LFG!!! 👇 actl.ink/ntsgcmpln?re... youtu.be/wOYyZYSn_vg?...

Worked on this intricate paint-by-numbers for 2 full hours and besides sleep, it’s the most calm my mind gets these days.

Today sucks. It feels heavy and dark. So I took my pup for a lil walk around the lake and had a lil ice cream treat.

Creating some time to write amidst the shit show we are currently living in.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Me glancing outside: It’s f*cking SNOWING?!!! 🤦‍♀️❄️

Is this who we are? 😳🇺🇸

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

I swear it’s all a part of their eugenics plan. If you get Alzheimer’s or cancer or Parkinson’s or even the flu, you’re weak and they don’t want you as part of society. They were willing to let people die during Covid. They are vile.

😂😂😂

I love my writing room! This is one wall and the art I’ve collected over the years. Some I made, some were bought at art festivals, some I found in magazines, some are even from shopping bags. Art is everywhere if we only look😍

Ugh this should be so easy, it’s not even like there’s a “good for the economy but morally evil” party and a “bad for the economy but morally good” party, there’s one party that’s like “minorities belong in cages AND we want you to be poorer” and they win elections somehow

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.
