I was raised not to speak ill of people. Unfortunately, I was also raised not to lie. Bit of an impasse, really.

In my experience the most vital part of a resume for people good at undercover work is: trauma. Yet society treats us like being traumatized is the crime.

my coworker said “we’re like a family here” & i said oh cool so who’s the one everyone pretends doesn’t exist but still relies on for emotional labor & they stopped laughing halfway through

What I need you to understand about my flavor of atheism: I am an equal opportunity non-believer.

I didn't mean to, but I fell in love tonight with @dominos-pizza.bsky.social

my kid called out sick because she was throwing up her boss asked for a Dr's note urgent care would've cost her $180 so she went to work spent 8 hrs stocking shelves while stopping every 20 mins to throw up in the bathroom somehow we're all supposed to agree that this is the efficient system?

I think social media accidentally convinced us that every connection should exist at the same level of intimacy.

Running social media for advocacy/community stuff is weird because half the job is posting and the other half is emotionally processing the news in public with everybody else. Anyway. Made a guide. https://loom.ly/DZDa6Ds

weed gummies really said “have you considered sitting quietly and not answering a single text tonight” and honestly? visionary leadership

I'm dying

When I was 19 years old, newly married & pregnant, it came out that my new stepFIL & MIL had tasked her 13 & 15 year old daughters with 'filling in for her' & 'attending' to her husband. I wanted to take them in. My then husband refused, wanted them to keep their mouths shut. Cops were involved.

I am a perimenopausal GenX white woman who does all I can to repress any inner Karen I have. I am on my period. Safeway is now 5 hours & 11 minutes late in delivering the TP we need. Gonna need a few of you to help with alibis.

Capitalism has this incredible ability to look at the best parts of being alive & ask: "Cool... but how do we monetize it?"

Pro-tip: if ur wearing a wire & ur co-conspirator asks if ur wearing a wire... Don't panic Ask if u should be Ask if they are Keep them guessing. Get them laughing. Make them wonder why they asked. Carry on.

New Yorkers are already insufferable in the summer. If the Knicks win, the city is going to party harder than when Trump lost in 2020. God help the MTA. Not even Elmo is safe 😩😭! @nycdot.bsky.social

Ever play with filters on pictures you've taken? Tonight I'm modifying my late Great Uncle's artwork. He was REALLY talented. I've been in love with his original since I was a kid.

Most people have an internal editor that checks for typos. Mine checks for collateral damage.

We used to have external memory. Photo albums. Recipe cards. Letters. Yearbooks. The box in the garage full of newspapers. Grandma telling the same story every Thanksgiving.

At 6:08 PM today MGP crossed over with 3 other Democrats to pass the appropriations bill HR 8646. That bill passed by 3 votes. MGP was the leader of the deciding votes here. Had the Blue Dog Dems held with their colleagues there would have still been a chance to save proper funding levels for WIC.

Trump knows Pulte won't get the nomination. He doesn't care. He said he just wants Pulte there to fire everyone. Trump gears up to fire intel community experts: WSJ www.alternet.org/trumps-direc...

Why Vote Democrat: Because everyone deserves basic dignity and civil rights.

~blinks~ I quit

10/10, no notes

You can talk about your childhood without naming anyone. But the people who know what they did will often hear an accusation anyway. Because they aren't reacting to your words. They're reacting to their own memory.

the building has this strange quality where it doesn't look designed for today. it looks designed for the day a kid visits it fifty years from now and asks, "wait, there was a time America had never elected a Black president?"

i think we're so used to presidential libraries looking like office parks with exhibits that seeing one built with actual monumentality feels almost disorienting.

maybe that's what i like about it. it doesn't feel like a victory lap. it feels like someone carved the idea of possibility into the landscape & trusted future generations to figure out why.

every empire builds monuments to generals & conquerors. america looked at its first Black president & said, "what if we built him... a giant community center & library?" honestly, that's a pretty hopeful reflection of what we think power ought to be.

I have a confession, but, guys, you have to promise not to hold it against me, okay? We gave the DJ a playlist with "Ice Ice Baby" on it . For our wedding. But. Hear me out. It was the late 90's & I divorced him 20 years ago.

Why did I see this at the same time as presenting a project I'd taken on because I thought it would be a walk in the park & it's turned out to be a MONSTER? The universe is mocking me.

Fair warning: RANT INCOMING It really does feel like we quietly replaced an economy of relationships with an economy of transactions. People talk about the "loss of community" as if everyone just got meaner or more selfish. But I don't think that's quite it.

hope is weird because it rarely arrives as confidence. usually it arrives as stubbornness.

Every right women have was opposed by some mediocre old guy insisting civilization would collapse.

brb, sending this to the group chat

i don't know who needs to hear this, but not every thought another person has is secretly about you. some of y'all are out here acting like you're the season finale plot twist in everybody else's life. 😭

some of us didn’t “waste our potential” we got sick in a country that punishes weakness economically

can’t adult today. will negotiate hugs or memes instead

She looks like his bored teenage daughter

I miss when I thought bad people were the minority

every historical author had a pen name because they understood the value of posting absolute nonsense without moving the markets.

The American Dream died the day we started confusing arrogance for leadership.

calling yourself one of history's greatest minds is like giving yourself a standing ovation in an empty room.

When I tell you I'm a tree hugger, you need to understand the role of trees in my childhood. Steven Spielberg filmed part of Star Wars in our backyard. The whole ewok village thing? We had neighbors who'd do whimsical & elaborate fairy cottages, bridges, lights. Folks with the $ & know how
