I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:
One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing
And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

Me, taking out the trash while finishing up my cats’ dinner song: 🎶 and that’s how you know you’re a caaaaat 🎶
Neighbor: How do I know if I’m a cat?
Me: [deep breath] 🎶 Do you have four feets? Beans for toes? 🎶

Wife: What’s Shiv Roy’s poor husband’s name?
Me: Fitzwilliam Darcy. Miserable he may be, but poor he most certainly is not. 10,000 pounds a year and he owns half of Derbyshire.
Wife: Babe. Please. It’s for work.
Me: Ugh blah fine, Tom Wambsgans.

One thing you could never possibly explain to straight people is the specific way lesbians of a certain age go feral when “Can’t Fight the Moonlight” (Coyote Ugly, 2000) comes on.

Recently found out a friend has been lying about masking. Constantly guilting me about how much they miss me, pressing to hang out indoors, swearing they’re safe. Sheepishly now telling me they knowingly came into my home two days after COVID exposure. I don’t know if I’ve ever been this angry.

My seven-year-old neighbor told me they talked about how to be a good neighbor at school and that she told her teacher I am her “above average neighbor” because I hand out full-size candy bars for Halloween and “know a lot about sharks.”

Damn, what a coincidence. All these news orgs keep laying off the same types of people while a bilious, rapey, leather-faced buffoon provides them cover and shakes them down for money to build a library named for a man who does not read.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.
