we will never get past any of this until we as a culture/society/etc/etc are willing to entertain the idea that the profession or masquerading of christianity as the motivator for action is not automatically above reproach or interrogation...
as long as journalists and pundits act as if they are amateur political strategists & not people trying to understand and tell the truth about the world, they are going to take the implicit view that voters can never be wrong, which then demands endless explanation of their morally blameless choice

I deleted my instagram this morning, last social media app is BSKY, not sure how long I will keep it. I turn 50 next year & I’m tired. moving forward I’m focusing on my neighborhood & my chosen family, the small things outside my door. I’m too tired for anything else. No more strength left.

I'm not very good at heroic or inspirational speeches, so having just left my polling place, I offer you this.

Are you ready to be strong?

Living this for 9 years now, it's nonstop unprovoked assault, I'm developing a grudge tbh
It’s true
I think @angryblacklady.bsky.social said that as soon as you turn 40, your body just starts trying to kill you for no good reason.

Hey everyone!

Just a reminder that a lot of folks - especially but not limited to queer folks and women and other marginalized people - will be on absolute red alert high anxiety this week and operating at reduced capacity.

If you are in a position to cut someone some slack, do it.

The song isn’t about this, but there’s that Fiona Apple song “Please Please Please” that has that line she shouts “MY PEACE AND QUIET WERE STOLEN FROM ME” and that’s how I’m going into Tuesday.

Some of the best ribs of your life will come from a Mississippi gas station with a smoker out back.
18 oz coffee w plenty of fake creamer, turkey sticks, fruit cups, SunChips, Twix, the fancy Jennifer Aniston bottled water, and depending on the location of this gas station, tamales, pakoras, pizza, or egg rolls
Okay, I'm tired of election stuff, so let's try something else: you have $20 and need to get gas station snacks for a road trip - what are you getting?

I lived in Philly for 11 years after college, and I can with great confidence say that Philadelphia stays sick of everyone's shit!
Quite the headline out of Philly.

Crazy how #AgathaAllAlong is the only good show in all of television’s existence. Wild that it’s taken this long but we finally got there. ☺️

I wanna look a 45 year old white male Brooklynite dead in the face and tell him that AGATHA ALL ALONG is better than THE WIRE.

LOLOLOL. There’d be nothing left but a pillar of salt and the flannel shirt he was wearing.
