The media was doing a really good job with delineating white evangelical Christianity as a particular segment… for about a year? Now they seem to be painting with a broad brush again

I feel like I’m stuck in a drama triangle with a toxic narcissist… and I don’t know how to get out because the narcissist is the president and the drama envelopes our whole country

All my clergy friends are declaring that they do not agree with shooting someone. It’s a strange world when liberal ministers feel that they must explain that they think shooting someone in the neck in front of his children is wrong

I’ve always had an off-the-grid, homesteader impulse… but it gets stronger with every story I hear about AI

Trump can’t promise any troops to Zelensky. He’s too busy using the military to occupy the US.

Have we reached peak capitalism? There’s the idea that the further one is from the person doing the labor makes the most money. (The worker makes the least, the manager makes a little more, the CEO makes the most). With AI, the CEO can get rid of the laborer altogether.

I was listening to Peter Thiel go on about his obsession to live forever… I work with a lot of old people. Usually, when their people have died, they’re ready to go. I don’t know many people in their 90s who want to live forever.

My very Republican, very evangelical mom is now suddenly refusing to talk about politics. I don’t know if this is a trend… but it’s a really good sign for me, personally.

I grew up on the beach in Florida. My best friend was drop-dead stunning. She was scouted as a model. We would hear about how she was flown to different places over the weekends. It was so exciting! It all feels different now… reading these Epstein reports

This feels like we’re tormenting girls and women into religious-based eating disorders… it also feels like what I was subjected to while growing up.

Changing my name back felt pretty devastating. I wanted to do it, but I wrote a lot under my married name. It was a part of my identity. Then there was all the bureaucracy… Now I’m getting my new ID cards. It feels better. Like a new start.

I was doing yoga. I was feeling very calm. Then my dog barged into my room and puked on my yoga mat. I feel that is a metaphor for my life at the moment.
