Some folks can listen to Lemonade calmly without renewed anger at Beyoncé getting robbed of AOTY. Couldn’t be me. But I respect their commitment to denial.

Was casually chatting with my mom when she hit me with “Hang on, I need to check on Donald Trump.” Turns out this is what she named her roomba that just got locked in the closet. She says the name was chosen so she can say, “Suck it, Donnie.” I cannot stress enough that I am related to this woman.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Brought my neighbor sourdough last night. Saw them at the polls today hyping up my bread while I cosplayed democracy. I’m already impossible to be around.

I walked through the cemetery for my stupid mental health. If I have to exercise, I want it to be with the teens doing tarot, the power walkers, the landscapers enjoying some midday weed, and of course Doris & Morris’s shared headstone, there to remind me that love is eternal and so is rot.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Just when I thought I couldn’t like Zohran anymore, here’s a clip of him saying “I think of Toni Morrison often…” Like?????? A MAN!!!!
As Toni Morrison said, “the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work.” But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked.

There may be signs of aging, but I’m still young enough that my mom called me from the waiting room to ask me to explain “We are the sons of the hamburger you couldn’t help” to her and a stranger she’d just befriended.

Had my first request to share my sourdough starter, so yes, I am telling everyone who will listen that Strega Doughna is pregnant and I’m to be a grandmother: proud, unhinged, and thinking of baby names.

Heartbreaking, disturbing, symbolic, utterly fucked up, stupid, unlawful, destructive, dangerous. Pick your adjective, they all apply.

After 34 hours, I am devastated to report that using my starter for cinnamon rolls has summoned a pastry so good I may never know peace again.
