    Gonna maintain this cursed account for voyeuristic purposes but will no longer post here— I should have ditched a long time ago, but have never been known for my self-control... You can find me on Bluesky (which seems to be popping!), Threads and Instagram, under the same name

    The more I think about it, the more impressed I am that Michelle Wolf did such a harsh act WITHOUT insulting any woman's looks. She aimed straight at the white female enforcers & never once suggested that anyone was a bimbo or a dog—like the man they work for surely would have.

    Dr. Birx is going to leave a horrible legacy. It's one thing to be a cynical paid fixer. It's worse, in my eyes, to be the expert who props up the mad king. I get that it's an emergency & I understand the theoretical strategy she may think she's pursuing, but it's a moral horror.

    This really does remind me that the most dangerous period in an abusive marriage is when you leave.

    I’m currently on vacation in Canada, where college tuition runs <9K (in American $), everyone has health insurance & maternity leave lasts a year. Also, abortion is both legal & publicly funded

    Elon musk should be slang for the scent a person gives off when they’re sketchy/disappointing. “I was excited to meet his brother, but the guy had an unsettling elon musk.”

    I'm glad that AOC is being so direct about this. It's no joke: these guys egged on a movement that tried, quite literally, to murder her, Pelosi, Pence and so on. The idea of "moving on" from that is ridiculous. There was a noose hanging outside the capitol three weeks ago!

    When Pence's wife is doing is disgusting. It's no different than if she took a job at a racially segregated school. And people should view it that way.

    I was just on TikTok and a guy there presented his theory that in The Piano Man, the narrator is working in a gay bar and doesn’t realize it. It completely holds up

    Time feels warped, so I think we should add a second Halloween to the year, maybe in March
