I've never understood why "Don't be a d!ck" and "Don't be a pu$$y" are insults. 98% of the world REALLY likes one or both of those things so...

If you’re expecting me to know the right thing to say or correctly read social cues more than, say 40% of the time, you have come to the WRONG place!

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

In A Chorus Line, at the end of "Nothing" when Morales cries after hearing that her old teacher died, do you interpret her last "Cuz I felt nothing" to mean she cried because she didn't care he died or that she cried because she still felt bad about those old exercises? #NecessaryDistraction

Alright, I’m going for “self care” social media and connection. What I think I remember it used to be a loooong time ago. SO, I’m a musician and composer/lyricist mostly in live theatre. I play and have played a lot of Broadway shows and really love quality story-telling in that art form. Hbu? #HBU

I simply can NOT retrain my brain to read "POS" as "point of sale".

It can be true that insurance companies are ghoulish and often run by moral-free assholes who should be stopped from treating humans like garbage AND that a person who guns down someone in the street is horrible and wrong. Both things can be true.

I've found disengaging to be what I need to do for my mental health atm - not from life and everything, but from the shitshow both present and coming. Doesn't mean I don't care - in fact, it means I cared so much it snarled my left shoulder. Random sharing, I know, but that's what this is, right?

I'm genuinely trying to like it here, but the engagement is bizarre. I can't find accounts I want to follow & likewise, people who might want to follow me can't/aren't. Is the only path for growth to follow hundreds of accounts you DON'T want to follow to gain traction?
