It’s like we’re just supposed to stick our heads in the sand or something. I’m so sick of it.

I am so goddamn tired of this reckless, violent patriarchical, hypermasculine bullshit destroying people’s lives. Destroying children’s lives.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO ADDRESS THE ACTUAL FUCKING ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM OF WHO IS DOING THIS?

Deep insight into yourself, even (or maybe especially) when it is painful, can be so freeing. You’re not wrong. It’s not all in your head. This IS how it is, even when it sucks.

Now you can move forward.

That was so beautiful and satisfying. Thank you, Bad Bunny!

Agreed. I should really have one for each purse so I’ll always know I’m prepared!

Apparently, it’s “off putting” for me to tell a man I have a switchblade in my purse when he asks “why it’s so heavy.” I also mentioned my inhaler, EpiPen and wallet, but I guess those aren’t as interesting. 😒

Love a “bad” woman from infinity to infinity.

Mom: I think you’ll like that show. It’s right up your alley.

Me: what’s that supposed to mean?

Mom: You know, it’s got a crazy evil lady in it. You and I always like those kind of shows.

YES WE DO! 😂

Chicago’s Domestic Homicides Surged Last Year Even As Overall Violent Crime Dropped Martina Mosby was the first of at least 63 people killed in domestic homicides in 2025. Experts say the increase is in part due to federal funding cuts to victim services programs.

"While homicide totals and most other violent crime figures dropped in Chicago last year, homicides that resulted from domestic violence increased by 15 percent..." blockclubchicago.org/2026/01/13/c...

It’s all light from here.

I prefer clothing that is more beautiful than functional.

Wait! Jacob Anderson is Raleigh Ritchie?!? One of his first singles was one of the first things I ever reviewed at Pitchfork. 🥺 That makes me so happy.

Black Friday sucks unless you’re a Black girl purchasing your yearly bundles and faux locs for 40-50% off.

Really enjoying Raye’s new single, especially because of the bridge. Bring back bridges!

OMG! Will definitely check this out. Just from looking at the lead image, I agree with including “Round and Round.” It’s in my top 5 and I was just recommending it to friends again this weekend.

First time in my 25 years of going to shows where they had to confiscate a potential weapon from me. 😬

Love to be talked to like an idiot by a man about my own illnesses and disabilities. So helpful. Just what I need.

With appearances by @britticisms.bsky.social, @zoezolbrod.bsky.social, Gina Frangello, @meganstielstra.bsky.social, and the all-star band of @marydeereynolds.bsky.social, Amalea Tshilds, @beanatitagain.bsky.social, Angela James, L. Wyatt, Julie Pomerleau & Jeanine O'Toole.

I am skilled at making my most boring and embarassing moments equally compelling.

I read a journal entry out loud to my therapist who said she was “riveted” and that it was “better than the last thing” she “got on kindle.”

“Never stop writing!” And it was just me writing about a situationship.

And I love you 🤗

I am NOT your Mommy. I WILL crush your spirit and laugh about it later.

The feedback was good! Everything worked out! Do the thing if it takes you two minutes or two days!

$188 in tariffs for one item?!? 😭

I was thinking that the only thing I have to look forward to this winter is a new season of The Traitors, but then I remembered they cast Michael Rapaport. Everything is tainted.

I know there’s a whole meme about “finally doing the thing you put off for weeks and it only took a few minutes,” but I just finally did my “thing” and it took two days. 🥴

Crazy to be old enough to witness OG Tyler the Creator, Tyler’s rebrand, and Tyler’s cancellation for his OG Tyler antics, all in real-time.

Heartbreaking: Neo-soul legends Angie Stone and D’Angelo both passed away in 2025, just 7 months apart. Stone died in March at 63. D’Angelo died today at 51. They shared a son together. An entire generation’s soundtrack, gone. Rest in power to both 🕊️💔

One of his most powerful, critical tracks ever. Honestly, this record was kind of underrated while still being highly praised and celebrated.
