REPOST if you stand with AOC!

1/1 As a comedy writer, I was often the only woman in the room. The men were deeply funny but also misogynistic, racist and cruel. The writers’ room was a place to say anything in the name of comedy. I’d laugh at the good stuff and tune out the rest. It wasn’t easy. It was painful.

Stop letting unfunny men tell you there’s something wrong with you for not getting their “jokes”. Stop fake laughing. Let their reality reflect the truth of how fundamentally they misunderstand humor. Neuter their ability to use “it was a joke” for emotional cover. Make them see nobody laugh.

We are not seeing coverage of global protests on our national news or Meta platforms. Serious question - What other news sources can we turn to?

The P in POTUS now stands for dumb fucking facist potato.

Go to whitehouse.gov right now. I knew my lifelong righteous anger would eventually come in handy. Jesus fcking christ

Ohhh, THIS is the worst that could happen

@aaronparnas.bsky.social Thanks for latest news on the mass exodus from threads and x to here. It was the only glimmer to this dark and wretched day.

Jokes that didn’t make it on Ink, w Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen. After a date, he drops her off at her apartment…

Ted: Why do you have a pair of men’s shoes outside your front door?
Mary: To scare off intruders.
Ted: They’re Topsiders. What’s he going to do, cut me off at the windward mark?

Ugh, I’ve had about enough of me.

I wanted to be Jewish and full of vim. All I got was “Your girl is lovely, Hubbell.”

I talk a lot about doing good in the world. I hope that counts.

Jokes that made the cut on Ugly Betty.
Amanda: She’s fat. Really fat. She looks like two fat girls hugging.

We live in a society that tells you it’s not normal to burst into tears multiple times a day like Holly Hunter in Broadcast News, but that’s actually the only reasonable response to (gestures vaguely)

Not here to be booed and heckled. If I wanted that, I’d let my husband get on top of me again.
