I retreated from the world for a bit to focus on therapy against OCD
Reemerging now that I’ve made a fair amount of progress. That, and because sharing my thoughts and self online is itself a form of exposure for me
anyway, here’s a drawing I did of a cute little Roadrunner :)

Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

as i've said in the past, the delta between a certain subset of ""liberal"" elites and the liberal base is genuinely astounding
they have no idea how angry we are

this is fundamentally about america's liberal elites not having the courage of their convictions, if they have convictions to begin with. they fetishize endless discussion and discourse and refuse to simply act.

One of the defining experiences of my life, and I think yours, is gradually witnessing the internet degrade from the most sophisticated tool for information distribution in history into a cesspit of misinformation and falsehoods.
It's a world-historical tragedy, what's happening to us.

my art instructor last week told me I’d be a great storyboarder (shocking because I thought I was deficient in all the requisite skills lol). now every online platform is pushing me ads for storyboarding courses. Coincidence????? Kinda sus???

Experienced one of those truly tragic moments where an OCD rumination turned out to be all too…. prescient
Ordered a lychee iced tea, thought “when was the last time I had lychee? Ever? What if I’m allergic?….” Pushed through the nerves, ordered it. And. Well. You’ll never guess what happened next

Underrated big shift in the influencer era in terms of who has cultural capital: away from performers, writers, artists, musicians etc and to people who are really good at running a small business and doing SEO/social media.
Pretty polar opposite political valences in those skillsets.

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

Increasing housing supply is necessary to support refugees. Blue state Democrats need to understand their mission to be refuges to those persecuted elsewhere in the Union (and abroad!)
At the risk of getting yelled at, this is part of why I keep saying blue state NIMBYism is a travesty for democracy. When we make it so that low-income immigrants, LGBTQ people and pregnant people can't afford to live where they want, think about what they end up being subject to.
Which means a baby born in New York to undocumented parents will be a citizen. But a baby born to undocumented parents in Kentucky will not be a citizen.
This is madness.

I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.

as for the upshot of the decision, the republican court has put the citizen children of non-citizens in a position similar to that of free blacks during the antebellum period. their right to enjoy the privileges and immunities of american citizenship will vary according to state borders

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

went to the polls and ranked Zohran 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Told everyone else around to do the same. Hopefully that makes the difference!!
