Gonna be a bit of a dork about my newsletter for a moment, apologies in advance. BIG EGG currently has 72 paying subscribers. I would love to make it 100. There's a sale today where a one year subscription is $30, every bonus piece and feature included. Here's my pitch. 🤼

my two black friday purchases, a denim jacket for an adaine cosplay and a vest from torrid and some fabric for workout shirts from my favorite small business surge fabrics. $40 for ten yards can’t beat that

Great piece by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social on Marjorie Taylor Greene, Donald Trump, and misogyny. Misogyny and racism over everything else in Trump’s world. And corruption, of course. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/o...

Looking for past Garfield Macy's balloons. Found a new reaction image

you can tell i’m avoiding grad school work because i’ve beaten the gold stake on three balatro decks in the past week and a half

me: time to write some flirty fanfic 1k words later: waterdeep‘s survival is predicated on the fragile symbiosis of a criminal underbelly carving territory from each other by inches and a nobility of equally power mad dilettantes who smother the working class under the a banner of egalitarianism

Just got off the phone and am APPROVED for help via legal aid and January 14th I have an appointment to help me navigate getting my exes wages garnished for back support. In the meantime I am still trying to raise $65 to cover my part of rent.

Here's a free Thanksgiving-adjacent cookbook that helps you reduce food waste, created completely without AI: ivacheung.com/2025/09/afte... Print copies support a food sovereignty charity!

$65 left to raise. Thank you for everyone’s help so far ❤️

loooove rebecca and the practical kitchen!!!

also need people to not act like the only way you get to be a real writer is writing full time. it’s almost impossible to survive in a freelance arts career right now. should you be able to? sure. but we can’t sneer at the idea of prioritizing survival over embodying the ”art is suffering” fantasy

i love when candidates are like i’m going to self fund because all political money is bad and then lose because they didn’t have money. let someone give you $20 for facebook ads because they want you to win. it’s fine

Hello all, I’m sorry to come asking for help again but I yet again did not get a support payment. He’s once again missed 2 payments in a row. I’m $100 short on my part of the rent and I’d like to avoid a late fee & pay on the 1st. Anything helps paypal.me/JCamacho884?... Cashapp is $camachojess123

does anyone happen to know anyone in consumer insights or entertainment marketing research who would be open to chatting/emailing with me about ways i might need to revise my resume? happy to pay them or buy them a virtual lunch for their time

i love forgetting about james carville for months at a time

party

i know gavin newsom is stewing about the mamdani trump thing. newsom’s been trying to feud with him like it’s building to a wrestlemania match for five years and mamdani swoops in after six months and gets this reception and public response. cuomo‘s stewing too. dipshits

nobody better than stokely

LETS GO LESBIANS LETS GO

i have a relative expecting a baby in a few months and i want to start stocking up for a shower gift. what stuff should i get that is practical and useful and not a onesie i think is cute that their baby will fit for exactly two weeks

thought i wanted to write romance novels but turns out i just want to write my low pressure fanfics

glad everyone finally came around to hating keith olbermann with me

sorry,

Political Cartoons are, as a rule, the lowest form of both art and discourse, but THIS ONE here (from 2009) is like a mid-90s Simpsons joke and has only gotten better with time.

this is so funny to me because his campaign tried to build a structure that could basically take over the dnc (ofa) and failed at that while also putting the party on the path to “litigate everything through data all the time” so like what more do you want man

This is your regular reminder that the federal government is actively monitoring social media and most social media sites will comply with subpoenas to some degree. So, you know. Be careful what you post

they should have made another spy movie. and another d&d movie

Hey. This is the BEST POSSIBLE SEASON to badger Visa and Mastercard into fucking off about their shitty fake-moral-panic over LGBTQ+ spending habits and content on retail platforms. Fuck ALL THE WAY OFF, VISA and Mastercard. No one wants to hear jack shit from you. You're a fucking receipt printer.

i have been trying to take better care of myself (more consistent dental and skincare etc) and unfortunately the benefit has been enough to compel me to do it even when i am deeply annoyed and just want to lie in bed in the dark

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

i should have a traitors podcast

Frankenstein (2025)

i decided to actually read that article with sarah mcbride that's getting around and what catches me is not the same old "we gotta be nice and patient with the right wingers" she's been slinging, but that her outreach to the left is... focused on the exact same shit. 'purity politics'. 'cancelling'.

finally home from housing court. next date is next month, and i fully expect the judge to side with our landlord. she was giving other people two weeks to leave, so i assume that's what she'll give us as well.

no idea if i’ll get fast enough not to be swept in this half marathon by january but i have made so much improvement fitness wise in three months that i can’t be mad

pls do rsvp here so we can get a sense of how much stuff to bring! can't wait!!! www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

It's like pilots. Everyone loves Sully Sullenberger for landing on the Hudson, but he'll be the first to tell you all pilots have trained + retrained to do that until it's automatic. When you actually believe in stuff, and practice that stuff in your daily life, the Mamdani of it all just follows.

NY doesn’t have caucuses we have closed primaries. But same deal. That’s why @nywfp.bsky.social wants us to stay registered as Democrats: so we can win the primaries like Zohran & AOC did.

We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced... 👉🏽 5calls.org/issue/federa...

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish
