If you’re a fan of horror, I hope you’ll check out this brilliant debut novel, written by my eldest. They’ve been winning awards for their writing since they were 8 and I think this piece will keep their streak alive.

Belonging in Bloom.
The piece is largely inspired by the inclusive pride flag. The other flowers from top down are representing my autistic, pan, and non-binary identities.
Still here. Still queer.
And I’m not going anywhere.

The Republicans' massive policy bill would do more than extend income tax cuts, add restrictions to Medicaid and food stamps and pour funding into President Donald Trump's deportation campaign. It includes many lesser-known provisions, from the court system to the gym.

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

I encountered a Mustang hatchback on the way home today and I’m mad.
Frankly, I blame Donald Trump for this outrageous fuckery.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow:
George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Fuck everything about this fucking cult. If you support it, you’re a bad person and you make me wish Hell were real.
Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

During childbirth, that I recall feeling this total primal connection to everyone who gave birth before me. It was dark, beautiful, full of pain, and blood, and triumph.
We are all connected.
We are one.
Forces of creation and destruction. I don’t believe we think enough of our collective power.

This administration is wildly incompetent.
"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat."

Insider trading is a crime.
One might even say it falls in the realm of “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Somebody get on that.
