Exhausted middle aged queer Jersey bitch.
Yesterday actually, my trainer told me I'm one of her success stories. This after I said I felt like I wasnt doing my best.
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

We wanted to understand how women are ruining the workplace. So we talked to three unemployed Joe Rogan fans at a White Castle in Toms River.

We gotta have a clear term for people so cynical they become gullible.

3 of my besties are (NJ and Bronx women) Scorpios. I am loved and protected.
We are loyal and loving. Ask anyone a Scorpio adores. Don't ask anyone we hate though, they're biased

My kids godmother called Aunt. My husband ex-sister in law is his Titi forever. My best friends are Aunties. And Prima covers more people than I can possibly count who aren't cousins.
Wait, are people really upset that Mamdani spoke about his “aunt,” and it was actually his father’s cousin and not his father’s sibling?

Because that is an extremely normal thing a lot of cultures do. Including a lot of large Jewish families!
In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.

Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."

Donated this morning, received email that they could buy 60 dozen eggs with what I gave. Those of us who can, should.
I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should too. People are already suffering but next month, in particular, is going to be so difficult.

As a Union County driver...yes. It's bad bad here.
You know how when shelters get dogs that have been abused, the dogs always have food aggression and if you touch their food bowl while they’re eating, they might your hand off?

That’s how NJ drivers are about the lane they’re driving in.

Only it’s worse. . .

Booker is trying to break the Senate record previously held by Strom Thurmond for confirming Republican nominees.
Booker's protests and speeches are basically meaningless if he's going to keep voting like this
These Dems just joined the GOP to vote to advance David Perdue as ambassador to China:

Booker
Coons
Duckworth
Gallego
Hassan
Kim
King
Klobuchar
Peters

The problem with the "break up the US and let red states do their own thing" take I keep seeing is that a plurality of Black Americans live in red states. Trans people live in red states. Indigenous people live in red states. Disabled people live in red states.

Your plan for them is...what exactly?

hey this is deeply fucking racist
The Federalist calls for a return to the US's more racist, pre-1965 immigration policy and implicitly backs national quotas.
