Apparently not. Our country just elected a man convicted of 34 felonies. I don’t know that what’s legal or illegal matters much anymore.

Begging some hero in the Department of Ed to rename the student loan record file folder "DEI training materials" before unlocking the door for the DOGE bros

Nope!

Maybe we need to learn our place and stop trying to rewrite history and make it seem like all these things were bad.

Oh never. In fact, we never had any kind of accident or disaster before any of us got in the workforce.

We’ll ignore the fact that white men are still routinely awarded for their gender and skin color. What’s important right now is to hold your hand while you feel your big feelings.

Oh honey, tell us all about your hurt feelings. You have to work with women and people who look different from you? And that made you sad, didn’t it? It was so upsetting for you to have to compete in a marketplace that didn’t automatically reward you for your gender and skin color. Poor baby!

Long, disappointing week. At least it’s girls’ night.

Imagine that!

Need book recommendations! I’m looking for collections of lyric essays or prose poems.

Aww poor kiddo! I’m glad Cosmos isn’t one to hold a grudge.

I’m loving all of this content about China on my TikTok feed as we inch closer to this weekend’s ban. The last time I was in China was more than a decade ago (!!) and it’s one of the most incredible places I’ve been.

It really is the stupidest timeline.

Love it!

I’m on a streak so far in 2025, working on a book that’s lived on my hard drive for a while. I’ve found I don’t write very well at home these days, but local coffee shops are just right. Maybe because I don’t sit and scroll TikTok? Nah, it couldn’t be that…

Agreed!

Mr. Zuckerberg was amenable. He signaled to Mr. Miller and his colleagues, including other senior Trump advisers, that he would do nothing to obstruct the Trump agenda, according to three people with knowledge of the meeting, who asked for anonymity to discuss a private conversation. Mr. Zuckerberg said he would instead focus solely on building tech products. Mr. Zuckerberg blamed his former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, for Facebook’s culture, according to one of the people with knowledge of the meeting. He said new guidelines and a series of layoffs amounted to a reset and that more changes were coming.

It really is such masculine energy to blame things on a woman who no longer works at the company www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...

Stickers are the best.

😂

NO! 😭😂 we recently taught Harper the game… much to everyone’s dismay.

Oh heck yes.

Writing is better with a dulce de leche latte and a brownie. Facts.

The whole thing is so awful. I haven’t yet been brave enough to read the article yet. What a disappointment on every level. The whole conversation of “do you separate the art from the artist” doesn’t even feel right in this situation. I used to read Harper his children’s books when she was little.

So that’s why norovirus has been in the rise?!?! 🧪Science!

A group of men sit in front of a chart that incorrectly spells "military" as "miltary."

GOP members complaining about reduction of military standards while using a chart that misspells the word military!

I love this!

Tofu bowls are my current hyperfixation meal. This one has steamed broccoli and edamame, cucumbers, green onions, and a spicy mayo sauce. I used up the last of a jar of Zhong sauce by @flybyjing.bsky.social on the tofu. Would have been great over rice but I didn’t have time.

Coming up on the fifth anniversary of my brother’s suicide.

It’s got condensed milk and espresso and it’s soooo good!
