INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS
MAKE ME BETTER is my forthcoming novel about the horrors of community. It is about cults, wellness, control, and the things we will do to escape grief.
Sometimes it hurts to grow -- but your community believes that you can be made pure.
It comes out in May.

I'm honestly starting to think Americans are going to end the decade with either universal health care or malaria.

Massachusetts Republicans are so cooked that they're trying to attack Michelle Wu for "wasting" taxpayer money by visiting Nova Scotia to pick up Boston’s annual Christmas tree.
Now who's waging a War on Christmas, huh?

While I don’t ride or die for Pete Buttigieg, the vitriol directed at him is completely insane.
“When I was younger I wished that I could have taken a pill to turn me straight; but I have accepted and embraced my identity now” is an *extremely* common sentiment from Millennial and older gay people!

When Pete Buttigieg says he would take medicine that makes gay men straight. What do you think is Mr. Buttigieg's attitude towards gays, men and medicine?

I know the push is always to get people more engaged with what is going on in the government, but you as a constituent should NOT have to spend your sunday panic calling your senator to beg them not to collaborate with fascists.
None of us should have to do that.

People are so busy yelling at voters that "elections have consequences," they never yell "politics have consequences" at their elected officials.
look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:
1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

We need a party that is committed to preserving, protecting & improving life. We don’t need people intent on endlessly negotiating how much humanity we deserve or if we deserve any at all.
We don’t need a society built around manufactured scarcity.

This pretty much sums up the entire ideological dispute between the two American political parties.
What they are arguing about, on almost all issues, is either methodology or magnitude. That is literally it.
The party of We Will Kill You vs the party of We Will Let You Die.

To be clear, Lindsey Graham, an American senator, has gone on the most popular Sunday morning current events show in the country and suggested that we drop nuclear bombs on Palestinians.
While they may differ in methodology, both parties agree that Palestinians should be eliminated.
