I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Okay, I know it's serious advice, but I had to laugh at the three words and then show Trevor.

a tiny light brown dachshund is being held up by a human who is out of frame. they are at a beautiful snowy mountain range that looks straight out of a Pinterest photo. the dachshund pup, Frankie, is wearing a full body puffer jacket that matches her light brown fur perfectly.

I'm guilty of sharing the more doom and gloom left wing stuff. I just tried to look through my feed to find something more lighthearted, and came up with almost nothing. Maybe getting off social media in general is the answer.

I only got around to cancelling Hulu today, but it went through at least.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Is she talking to Groypers? Because dems just want her to have good health care.

I was just looking up whether there were studies on whether the death penalty is a deterrent last night. From what I found, it is not: deathpenaltyinfo.org/facts-and-re...

You can condemn political violence without rewriting history about the victim.

Charlie Kirk was absolutely not "practicing politics the right way." He spread conspiracy theories, demonized marginalized groups, and called one of the most qualified Supreme Court nominees a "diversity hire."

These fucking idiots took emails of Hillary Clinton ordering pizza and turned them into a child trafficking scheme, but they’re perfectly fine with Donald Trump being best friends with the most notorious sex trafficker of our time.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks.

That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years.

Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees.

And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?
