That saying "when people show you who they are, believe them"? My problem is I show people exactly who I am and they never seem to believe me...they just see whatever they want to project onto me.
First quarter reading progress - getting back into the swing of things!
Yesterday was also my birthday so folks should pick up the book I'm on the cover of!
There are still women romanticizing Nick from Handmaids Tale? Really? That dude would be an ICE recruit if he were living in our real world right now.
Flid too!

Hey so if you would prefer kids be hungry and dehydrated at school...you are probably just a jerk.
If we dont get an SNL skit out of this I will be so disappointed.
The color of the year for 2026 is....white? This feels like satire, but they are so completely serious:

Folks do realize that feeling sad or guilty isn't actually a consequence right? Especially if you also got everything you ever wanted?
Y'all sure do love to infantilize pretty white women...
step 1 - recognize something you said is problematic. step 2 - realize you say problematic things because of your childhood trauma. step 3 - learn to apply a filter and catch those problematic words BEFORE they come out of your mouth and become someone else's trauma.
Mass civil resistance. Chicago knows how to do it. They're teaching Portland. And beyond. New resistance strategies emerge organically. So be open to new ideas. Be adaptive. Build a whistle brigade. Here's how:
Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:
$100 billion
Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:
$100 billion
One is decried as "welfare." One is not.
Why?
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
The Team Jeremiah girls watching The Summer I Turned Pretty are bad enough...but the ones still crying over Nick in Handmaid's Tale kinda terrify me.
The romanticizing of toxic men in TV shows really concerns me...manipulative, controlling, insecure dudes that fans will make every excuse for.
This lady is such a hero. 💙
Let me get this straight. They are "honoring" a man who loved free speech by....attacking free speech? Between that and declaring a leaderless, decentralized and largely non-violent movement as a terrorist organization, it's been a hell of a week for destroying democracy.
Yall crashing out about the 2ndary ticket market scooping up Ari tickets - I worked in that industry when I was young & broke. They're economic parasites, & every "ticket broker" I ever met was a sleazy scumbag - like a combo of the worst stereotypes of a used car salesman & a finance bro...
The latest Conjuring movie is BAD, but it's reminded me that most people don't know that the Warren's were con artists, and not the sweet couple portrayed in those movies:

Won't be planning any Disney or Universal vacations if this happens...
What do you find more annoying - the sore loser, or the sore winner?
Oh hey, it's me!
I dont either. 3 minutes would have made me go "wow!" I would have believed and been impressed.
CDC quietly stopped checking food supply for 6 pathogens (campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and yersenia) about two months ago, leaving everyone more vulnerable.
Less food surveillance = less food safety.
Hey where are you RFK Jr and MAHA moms?
If you want to be my friend, pro tip - I value bluntness and transparency above all else. My favorite people are the ones where I never have to second guess what they say to me. I dont need to interpret or read between the lines, because they just say what they mean.
IDF double taps a hospital...how are people still defending Israel's actions?
Capitalism will always end in failure because in the end greed will always overcome empathy - and greed isn't sustainable.
