I reactivated my Facebook account temporarily a few weeks ago and I have to say…after not being on that site for over a year, it’s jarring to see how misogynistic and toxic it is against women. Like, full on violence against women being posted and promoted. What a cesspool.

That was some weird shit

Correct. 😂 So excited to sit on the couch under my blankie, new glass sippy cup in hand, while I watch A Christmas Prince 1-3. *chefs kiss* #christmas #holiday #cozy

I don’t even understand why this shutdown happened now. Like…why even bother if y’all weren’t going to see this through? What a bunch of spineless pieces of shit. I’ve never felt so simultaneously angry and powerless.

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

Scheduler at imaging center for mammograms: Oh you can’t make an appointment. Your PCP has to call us and then we will call you. Me: But, you literally sent me a letter saying for me to make this appointment. Scheduler: yea you can ignore that. (1/2)

Just installed my brand new automated curtain opener. Yes. You read that correctly. Just when I’m on the precipice of irreversible despair for the age I live in, I find out that modern technology can in fact be wonderful and bougie as shit.

Holy gaslight, Batman. Did Martin really equate his hurt feelings after being mildly rejected post-sex to lying to Smitty for years about a criminal cover up? 😂😂😂 Don’t let the door hit you, bro. #beyondthegates

I know folks in the #BTG fandom has mad love for Kat, but you will never convince me she is a good character. I genuinely don’t know why people cheer for her. She’s Machiavellian to a fault. She’s mean. She genuinely doesn’t care about how her actions affect others. She’s more “evil Eva” than Eva.

There's a gremlin in the tub.

I’m 99% sure that LinkedIn only exists so that all of the sales people can sit around and post the buzzwords AI created for them that are meaningless while they also try to ram down your throat how amazing their job is selling a half-baked product/service.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

#caturday vibes

I’ve hit another season where I’ve deluded myself into believing that if I get rid of all of my things, it would solve all of my executive functioning problems. Let the #decluttering commence!

It’s been awhile, I know. But this fall I’ve committed to doing some more creative endeavors (writing, painting, pottery…). I’ll be excited to share as the season goes by #creative #fallvibes

Instead of Fourth of July, I’ll be celebrating my babies’ gotcha day! Nine years!!! 😍😍

Not feeling particularly patriotic today. 🥴😑

Imagine being a multibillion dollar company who can pay any and all creative geniuses that they want to come up with new content and ideas, and instead they layoff a bunch of employees and rollout a reboot of Indiana Jones. 🥴 I’d say make it make sense, but….capitalism. #disney #indianajones

My new landing page is finally launched! Check it out www.nicolesimmonsart.com #blueskyart #painting #abstract #art #acrylic #mixedmedia #nature

Martin. Why you shoutin your business in the middle of the country club?! How you become a politician when you lack discretion?! No wonder Vernon don’t tell you nothin’. Smitty won’t even need to write anything soon—it’ll be all on TikTok in your own words instead. Damn. #beyondthegates

I’m getting really bored of this Eva/Kat back and forth. Just claw each other’s eyes out and move on, please. #beyondthegates

So, is Andre a masochist? Is this why he chose hellfire as a consequence for a night with tepid, unvaried Ashley? Don’t give this man a choose your own adventure. #beyondthegates

I never thought I’d say this but I’m really enjoying this fitness hobby. I challenged myself to walk at least 5k steps 3 days this week. Today I did a cardio/weights workout and went to Taekwondo. Saw a difference—knee didn’t hurt as bad, I was more flexible and my recovery was better.

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

If a federal judge cannot issue a federal order stemming from a federal founding document declaring a fundamental set of rights, WHY HAVE LAWS AT ALL?

Unless something dramatic happens in the interim, a birth certificate will no longer be sufficient to prove the citizenship of any child born in much of the United States after July 27.

I don’t understand how a court that is supposed to be protecting the constitution of this country can leave this unanswered when it very, very clearly states in the 14th amendment (with precedent) that anyone born in this country is a citizen.

Planned Parenthood provides critical health care, including: Birth control. Cancer screenings. STI testing. PReP. It’s all essential—and extremists would rather deny access to it than protect it.

This ruling paves the way for states to kick Planned Parenthood out of Medicaid – putting THEIR beliefs above YOUR health care. Here’s what that means: -More undetected cancers -More untested STIs -More challenges to getting birth control -More preventable deaths

Planned Parenthood provides cancer screenings, access to birth control, STI tests, and more. Trump’s Supreme Court just put this in jeopardy for millions of low-income Americans.

THAT HOE NOT PREGNANT!!!!!! #BeyondTheGates

Katherine is bonafide bitch, I’m sorry. Eva has “covered” for the only immediate family member that she’s known her whole life in the same way that The Duprees are covering for Martin. If you’re gonna sweep around someone else’s closet door, make sure yours is clean first #BeyondTheGates

If I was Ted, I would’ve carved that man face up. Have him looking like Frankenstein monster #BeyondTheGates

This whole thing with Martin better be juicy AF. #beyondthegates

Surprise. Another day. Another scene where Kat is a vindictive, ice queen. Why is Tomas even with her?! She don’t even know him but she talkin about love. Please. She’s as high-maintenance and disastrous as a SpaceX launch. #beyondthegates

Who thinks it’s only a matter of time before Bill winds up back in Dani’s bed? I’m not cheering for it—she needs to throw out the whole man, but the signs are there. #beyondthegates

Also, 100% here for this down-to-business Vernon. The contrast is almost jarring compared to how he’s been scripted thus far. #beyondthegates

I love how folks be puttin’ Eva on blast for being all shady but Kat literally out here planting evidence and breaking and entering on a whim like she ain’t shady AF. At least Eva is likable. #beyondthegates

I love it when my air conditioner gives out in the middle of a heat dome and my cats are no longer the most dramatic beings in my house.

It's one of those days when screaming isn't enough.

Gas is $3.50 a gallon, butter is $6 bucks a pound, eggs are $4 bucks a dozen, we’re at war with Iran, South African Nazis stole all our data, and ICE is throwing citizens in detention camps. But hey, at least those 3 trans kids can’t play volleyball anymore.

Well other than the 2 massive panic attacks and the hour and a half lying awake in heart pounding, anxiety filled silence, last night was great. Nothing like a little shot of adrenaline to keep things spicy, amirite? AMIRITE?! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #trump #iran

Who did this? 😂

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

Candidate: “I’m not your typical status quo politician!” *candidate in a pic w the standard arm cross, diluted-power pose that some DNC photog told them to stand in. Photo clearly has either the “white-bread” or the “typical blue hack” filter applied* Me: Ah, so status quo. #politics #democrats

Just today I received an email from a candidate (not in my state) branding this person as “not status quo”. The language of the email (which reads as a boring narrative) is so white-bread status quo it made me want to vomit. Like really? This is the best your consultant could come up with? #politics

One of the things that’s wild to me is that Democratic consultants and strategists have so failed to read the room when it comes to the current landscape we are in.
